3rd 3 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last year, the most recent coming at Ripon (1m2f, good) off a 4lb higher mark than today's; went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April but he's been below his best in two starts since; tongue-tie is added to cheekpieces. |

9th 11 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent sort who followed up a neck second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April with a mediocre effort when eighth of 12 at Redcar (1m, good) last month; cannot discount but needs to put his best foot forward. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Needed a couple of runs before hitting top gear this season but his close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month was a good effort and he's still on a workable mark after recent 2lb nudge. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Drops back in trip/grade having never landed a blow in the Northumberland Vase last time; broadly consistent otherwise this term and won at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April; 4lb higher now, though. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing on penultimate start but in good form over 1m4f otherwise this year, with the first of those runs at this track; tried 2m twice last summer and ran well on first occasion despite racing freely; needs to raise his game again, though. |
22/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing behind Letsbefrank at Hamilton a fortnight ago but in good form otherwise this year, with two close seconds sandwiching a win at Musselburgh (1m4f, good); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner and twice competitive in that scene during the summer; made an okay return to hurdling when an 18l third at Market Rasen and now tackles his first handicap. |

3rd 4 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Exposed as a fair Flat performer at best these days; pulled up twice and tailed off on the other occasion when tried over hurdles two seasons ago when with Alan King; best watched for now. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by about 1m4f; form over C&D features a success (off current mark) in this race last year and resurgent effort, doing well to finish third having been slowly away then come from a difficult position, in latest start; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has won three races, the latest over C&D off this mark last July (good); just fair form this term, last time finishing 5l sixth to Patagonia Girl (runs in the 4.45) over C&D (good). |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ended winter AW campaign with respectable fourth in February and kept on for third when back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; also suited by this track and can go well again; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Out of the frame in all four starts since returned to the AW, but his fifth of ten over 1m2f here in December suggested that all may not be lost; now 6lb lower than for that effort and 8lb lower than when last successful; interesting. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Landed a third Flat win when taking Hamilton amateur riders' handicap (1m5f, good) around a year ago; now 2lb lower but he's been soundly beaten on both starts this year (1m4f Catterick handicap, 1m7f Hexham handicap chase) and needs to stage a revival. |
10/1 |

4th 4 |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Hurdle/Flat winner; wasn't at his best on the Flat following a break at Catterick last month but should come on for the run; conditions fine; quite interesting on chase debut. |
