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. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this 12 months ago; not seen after June in 2025 but hinted at a revival on his second run back when seventh of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap 15 days ago; he's one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark here. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winner over 1m at Doncaster (good to firm) and 1m2f at Ripon (good) last spring; minor late headway on his recent AW reappearance and he's dipped to 1lb below the mark he defied at Ripon. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Dependable sort who's been in career-best form with a win and two seconds this season; raised another 2lb but can show up well again after his two big runs at Musselburgh (pipped by Letsbefrank latest); highly respected. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) on reappearance and better than ever when taking a 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) two weeks ago; 4lb higher this time but firmly in the mix. |

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. |
10/1 |

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. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Usually races prominently but came from the rear, having fluffed the start, to dead-heat over C&D (good; subsequently awarded outright win) last summer; now only 1lb above that mark and returns here after respectable run in quite valuable Musselburgh race last month; one to consider. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
238 days off before his Newcastle run three weeks ago when he may well have been in need of the race and interference exacerbated his margin of defeat; possibilities if that has brought him back to his best. |

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. |
11/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 6lb lower than for his two turf wins last May, but he's finished down the field in last six starts and last three have been at this track (1m2f/1m4f); others preferred. |

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. |
13/2 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Pulled up over hurdles in October but he won off today's mark at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last summer and can go well fresh; a possible. |
6/1 |
|
5 |
31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 56y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Exposed under both codes these days and wasn't at his best on the Flat before a 16l defeat back jumping at Carlisle. |
