2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Scored off a career-low mark to land his eighth success, at Epsom (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; back up 2lb but has recorded back-to-back wins previously so cannot be discounted. |
11/4 |

1st 6 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has a C&D win (in 2021) on his CV but ended last year in poor form and made a low-key reappearance last month; needs to turn a corner. |
20/1 |
|
13th 8 (16) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form in the first half of 2025 but he ended that campaign with a couple of low-key efforts; can go well fresh and he returns off a dangerous mark so he is worth a market check. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Smart sprinter in his prime but last win was four years ago and he's finished down the field in four runs this season; return to 6f in his favour but don't need much encouragement to look elsewhere. |

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Veteran who was a smart sprinter in his prime but last win was four years ago and he's finished down the field in three runs this season; dropped another 3lb but he has lots to prove on this first run at 7f; visor removed. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-time winner who is ideally suited by slow ground; his last success was off 2lb higher at Ripon (6f, soft) last summer but he's been well held in both runs this season; now drops back in trip but this veteran needs a major revival. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-91; won from this mark at Ripon (6f, soft; Ideal Guest third) last July and was runner-up at Pontefract (from 4lb higher) last September; weakened - eighth of nine - on last month's C&D comeback run (66-1) but that's likely to have brought him on. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who scored at Ripon (6f, soft) last July and is just 2lb higher on this reappearance outing; however, 6f has been this 11yo's optimum trip in recent seasons, and this is his first run since October. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (10) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
25/1 |
|
18th 13 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (12) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Expertly placed to reel off a seven-timer on AW earlier in the year; winning spree came to an end at Wolverhampton in March and he returns to turf (1-13) off a tough mark. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (1) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a double over C&D in November and he got back on the scoresheet when making all at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher and could make another bold bid back in trip. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
6f wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell in the autumn; runner-up twice since and he wasn't beaten far when favourite at Southwell (fifth of eighth) last time; now returns to 7f but he has plenty of form at this trip and he's in the mix. |
10/1 |
