24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m2f) in May and backed it up with a good second of five at Sandown (1m2f) following month; must enter calculations after a break. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Returned to form to win at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) this month and he's since been second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm), albeit no match for the progressive winner; there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |
13/2 |

2nd 5 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
0-14 on Flat turf and a beaten favourite at Musselburgh two weeks ago; his hurdles record (2-7) is better but he had no obvious excuse when fifth to Indemnity at Plumpton (33-1) last month; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won on Kempton AW (1m3f; not proven over this far) in February and latest start was up with his best hurdles form; 0-13 on Flat turf but that includes five seconds. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice early-season and better again when second in classy small-field races at Cheltenham and Wincanton, the latest a Grade 2; returned from a break with a win on the AW so his run in the Morebattle at Kelso goes down as disappointing; the return of a hood is no bad thing; enjoys good ground. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Narrowly beat Individualism when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in June (good to firm); excuses for two lesser runs since (soft ground; too free); contender. |
6/1 |
|
2 (9) |
10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for below-par effort last time; solid record (1333121) otherwise for current stable and gained the most recent success, at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm), in game fashion; remains of interest. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (12) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual Polytrack winner last summer; returned after 279 days off with a fair effort at Kempton (1m4f) in May but he was disappointing on his return visit the following month; has bit to prove after that but he still has low mileage and his first win was on turf (1m2f, good). |
4/1 |

7th 1 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Polytrack winner (1m2f/1m4f) last summer and was returning from 279 days off when sixth of 13 in a 0-90 contest here (1m4f) last month; that run may well have brought him on and he remains unexposed for a 5yo after just nine starts; high on list. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Has been performing better on the AW than on turf during the past year, winning a selling handicap easily over C&D in July and finishing second of nine back here (1m5f) a week later; one for the shortlist. |
3/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Dual turf winner at 1m2f and 1m3f for Charlie Johnston last spring; back to form in winning a 1m4f selling handicap on the AW earlier this month and was then second under a penalty; 3lb higher now but should be fine back on turf. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual turf winner at 1m2f and 1m3f for Charlie Johnston last spring; has had some struggles since but he got back to form with a bang when winning by 7l here (1m4f, AW) last Monday; that was off a tumbling mark and he's a major player if he can repeat that form under a penalty. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Now 2lb lower than when winning at Epsom (1m2f, good) last summer but yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (1m2f-1m4f) and today's drop back to 1m may not be ideal; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
20/1 |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded ahead of a fairly encouraging reappearance at Epsom (1m4f, good) in April but disappointing when seventh of nine at Lingfield (1m2f) 20 days ago on his first run on good to firm; that surface might be an excuse and he's now tried in cheekpieces; far from ruled out, albeit still needing to prove his stamina. |
100/30 |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

Often leads; won this race (soft) off this mark last year but his form has dipped noticeably since two creditable thirds in June; last time's Racing League appearance can be forgiven, however, and he's not totally dismissed back here. |

20/1 |

4 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who showed a fire still burned when winning a six-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) in June; third to Beach Point over C&D next time but his form has dipped on his last two starts; rain will help but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |
