16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts at 6f, on AW then back on turf at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; up 7lb but it was a solid sixth of 22 at York (good) in July, when he raced away from the main action; drying ground would be a likely positive and he's firmly in the picture. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (12) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ended last season with some below-par efforts but built upon satisfactory reappearance run when runner-up at Ayr (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and remains 6lb lower than when winning over that C&D last summer. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Record is 4-28; has form figures of 113 at Ayr, the wins gained off current mark and 6lb higher; interesting returned to this course with Thirsk reappearance (faded late in big field) under her belt. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player. |
9/4 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Invigorated by a step up to 7f this winter, winning three times at Newcastle; latest success was smooth and a 4lb rise does not look harsh; leading contender again if proving equally effective at Southwell. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Good second over C&D last month but not quite in the same form back here 17 days ago; likely to run his race and more minor money could be on the cards; cheekpieces now added. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Expensive to follow since joining Ivan Furtado but he usually gives his running; dropping back to 5f isn't sure to be of benefit. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly at Pontefract 17 days ago (6f, soft) and he's not handicapped out of things on the best of this year's form; this might be a shade too competitive though. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last November; successful at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May and went close at Pontefract in June; not quite at that level in his last three starts but he is unexposed on AW and the new tongue-tie could be beneficial. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored three times last March-August; he's now just 1lb above his last winning mark, having ended last season on a low note and continued in same vein this year; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Scored three times off lower marks, including over C&D, last year; however, the 8yo has failed to show his form in two runs this term and is best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

All three wins came over 6f on Polytrack last year, but showed he could handle Tapeta when beaten a neck on stable debut over C&D in August; three poor runs since and hard to recommend. |
