1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Quite late in the day to be going beyond an extended 1m for the first time; often makes the running and can race freely, so will need to settle early from a wide stall back from ten weeks off; not in much form when last seen either way. |

6th 1 (9) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is now 1lb lower than for the latest of them; not at best in two runs here this winter but this represents a drop in class. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Two AW wins in the first half of 2025, including C&D; not at his best here seven weeks ago (finished behind Gilet) and others are preferred for win purposes. |

Juvenile hurdler who had wind surgery prior to justifying favouritism at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) two months ago; considering his Flat mark, he looks well treated in this first crack at a handicap hurdle; highly respected. |

Flat winner is 0-5 over hurdles and was well beaten in sole previous handicap off 3lb higher at Limerick on penultimate; best form has come on heavy ground; others preferred. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Close fourth on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in June and this headstrong sort benefited from the drop in trip to make all at Haydock (7f, good) last time; unexposed and could take a 4lb rise in his stride. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All four runs have been on the AW, finishing second in a novice on Lingfield debut (1m) and close fourth last time in a Kempton handicap (1m); quite interesting on turf debut but drop to 7f may not be ideal. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three AW wins, the latest over C&D in December; went through a quiet spell since his most recent 7f run here (in January) but fared better back over C&D in May when going close off a reduced mark; bang there. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not at his best of late, but has dropped 8lb lower than when successful over C&D in January; needs a resurgence, but is too well handicapped to ignore. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well to score over 7f here (10-1; from 5lb higher) in December; form has dipped since February, slowly away, failing to beat a single rival at Newcastle (1m) just over a fortnight ago; needs to rediscover a spark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |
3/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 4-7 since cheekpieces went on when seeing off ten rivals back on turf at Bath (1m, good) 13 days ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing in his current mood. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 1412 since racing in 7f contests on AW, the wins at Southwell and Chelmsford; went close at Wolverhampton most recently; may well remain competitive kept to this distance. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't have to improve to win a 7f fillies' novice at Southwell last month (made all); well on top at the finish on that occasion but an easy lead is unlikely and she has struggled in two previous handicap runs. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent since going close at Lingfield in June; won off current mark in C&D event just over a year ago, the final leg of a hat-trick, and has a good chance provided he's back to that form. |
8/1 |
|
8 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick around this time last year (including a win over C&D) and only just beaten off this mark here in June; held in three starts since (behind Spirit Of Leros last time) and vulnerable to an improver, this being his 16th start |
12/1 |
|
7 (9) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won three consecutive AW handicaps around this time last year but form since has been patchy and he was tailed off at Southwell last time; probably best watched this time. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

7f winner on heavy ground for Ed Walker, his only win in 11 runs for that yard; joined this one for 7,500gns and finished last in a 1m Class 5 handicap at Chelmsford a month ago; not bred for hurdles and might not stay. |

11st 0lb
|
Won 1m AW maiden in March but he struggled in last two Flat runs and was only fourth of six on hurdling debut over C&D (25-1) in August; finished 11l behind Galactique in that race and has work to do to turn the tables with that rival. |
14/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
1m AW winner for Ralph Beckett in March, after which he was well held in a novice; finished last in a 1m AW handicap on debut for this yard and hard to be confident after that. |
14/1 |
