26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |
20/1 |

9th 7 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; may have been ready for a break towards end of last season but there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four C&D wins, including when justifying favouritism in January 2025; in reasonable form on turf this time last year (from marks in mid 60s) but has lost his way since then, tumbling down the handicap; latest Ripon fourth (beaten 8l) isn't enough to tempt. |
7/1 |
|
4th 8 (11) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has four wins on Newcastle AW but is only 1-19 on turf; never figured on return to turf when seventh of nine at Pontefract (1m, good) in cheekpieces (left off here) last month; needs to show more. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Last of his five wins came 15 months ago and he struggled after close fourth over C&D (good to firm) in August; falling mark a help if he can stage a revival after three-month break; market check advised. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth and fifth in his two big-field C&D races last term; Newcastle win in March ensures a career-high mark today but it's hard to judge him harshly on last week's C&D result as he didn't see daylight at various stages. |
20/1 |
|
16th 17 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of sound performances on Newcastle AW this year, winning over 7f latest; back on career-high mark but he's a five-time turf scorer who has form over C&D and appears to hold solid claims. |
10/1 |
|
1st 11 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Spring has been quite a productive time for him which provides hope that he can build on a promising reappearance third over 6f here 15 days ago; has raced mainly at 7f/1m in recent years so the step back up in trip should help if anything. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 15 races to June 2023 but he's been a good third on his last two starts and can be thereabouts once more. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Posted sound effort when placed off today's mark at Haydock (1m, good) last month but remains without a win since June 2023, and the faster ground here may not be ideal; not the percentage call. |
6/1 |
|
7 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Some encouraging efforts off a reduced mark this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

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. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
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. |
14/1 |
