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 |

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. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
3-27 overall on turf (minor honours both starts here) but there were two turf wins this spring; needs to bounce back from two modest displays. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming. |
16/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
No show back on AW last time but she's had plenty of close calls this season, including at Ripon (6f, good) on her penultimate run; has claims if she can recapture that form and her four turf wins include one over C&D. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 (3) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
4-36 overall and has her first race here; no win since July 2025 and, having been runner-up four times this May-July, her form has deserted her lately. |
12/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

String of consistent efforts in defeat before a couple of quieter runs lately; won't mind any rain, down to a career-low mark, but needs to bounce back. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four wins from five starts over C&D; when returning from six months off at Southwell this month it was over 6f and under a change of tactics, leaving the impression the run would sharpen him up; big chance back down in class with a talented apprentice booked. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Won four times over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December-March but has fitness to prove after six-month break and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |

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 |

Expensive to follow since joining Ivan Furtado but he usually gives his running; dropping back to 5f isn't sure to be of benefit. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Had just three AW starts and one of them yielded a C&D win; 7f stretched him at Catterick last month and he's one to consider now back down into a Class 6 handicap. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

1lb lower than for his last win; never in the hunt at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month on his return from 284 days on the sidelines; stamina for 7f still to be proven. |

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. |
