28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
8th 9 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Effective in the reapplied cheekpieces but last season's career-best form came once fitted in a visor; needs to be right on his game to win this and that wasn't the case on his Newmarket comeback. |
40/1 |
|
16th 9 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Improved in headgear over 7f last term, winning in first-time cheekpieces on the July course (good to firm) in June and in a newly fitted visor at Southwell in August; also scored in latter aid at Chelmsford (also AW) in October; slight worry slow starts were a feature of his last two runs but might have needed a rest by then; not ruled out on this reappearance. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 3yo who landed a good prize for Jay Mackay over C&D (good) in June and was also on target at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal from the inside stall. |
7/4 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive gelding who has form figures of 2212 this summer and that latest second was a close call from a tough draw at Chester (7.6f, good); usually races prominently and he's a big player off only 1lb higher on this drop back in trip. |

9st 7lb |
Finally got the job done in Windsor contest (1m, good to firm) last week and did it comfortably, opening his account at the 18th attempt; great chance under a penalty, provided he's in the same form back down in trip; due to go up 4lb in future. |

0-17 but he's a consistent sort and posted a solid fourth of 12 in 1m Wetherby handicap 11 days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex William Haggas; no win since his juvenile days, but has twice ran well over this C&D, including when fourth (from 4lb higher) last August; no match for stablemate Novello Lad at Doncaster (6f, good to soft; 25-1) recently but that comeback run ought to have him spot on for this. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 12 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Regressed for William Haggas before sold last summer; the handicapper is easing off so he should be easy enough to place in due course but he's done a lot of his racing over 7f and now returns from an absence; Novello Lad looks his trainer's best shout. |
16/1 |

8 (13) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

On a losing sequence but he's made a positive start for his current handler, sixth of 14 in 6f Pontefract handicap 19 days ago; one for the shortlist eased 2lb here. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Similar type to Hot Cash, having been successful on most recent start in this grade (8.5f, AW); however, looks harshly handicapped, being 5lb higher than last attempt on turf. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
3yo who made it three wins from his nine starts when taking a Racing League event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; very disappointing in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Thursday and needs to bounce back swiftly, but he's not discounted in view of previous promise. |
12/1 |
|
9 (14) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |

His first win at around a mile when beating 12 rivals with some comfort in a Racing League handicap at Wolverhampton; effectively only 2lb higher with Jack Nicholls taking off 5lb. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Now 5lb lower than when placed in 7f Newmarket nursery for Ralph Beckett in the autumn but that was on soft ground and he is yet to strike form after two runs for new stable this year; eased in grade here; still needs to up his game. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
20th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Generally kept to softer ground by Ralph Beckett last year and was turned over at odds-on in one start on good to firm; off four months since an ordinary debut for his new, in-form yard (which picked him up for 22,000gns) in a Polytrack maiden; market useful. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 2-2 over C&D in August, off a 2lb lower mark, when again having plenty of use made of him from the same draw as tonight; got upset in the stalls when below par last time and should fare better this time. |
10/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Both wins have come at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) this year; 2lb rise for second success last month still leaves him 1lb lower than for the first; one for the shortlist. |

20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-11, with the latest of those wins coming over C&D in August off a 2lb lower mark than today; below his best over 7f next time but bounced back with a solid effort at Southwell (6f, AW); contender but his hold-up style means things need to drop right. |
11/1 |
|
3 (9) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hard to predict and a 6f win at Chelmsford in August was followed by a poor run over 7f here 11 days later; needs to bounce back but perhaps the return to this distance will help. |
9/1 |
|
1 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had been struggling over 7f but he came from behind to win over 6f at Chelmsford (narrowly off 3lb lower) and could build on that; this trip is the query. |
3/1 |
