23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Five wins from 39 starts, the most recent coming at York (1m2f, good) last June off a 6lb higher mark than today's; well beaten in two starts since returning from his second wind operation and now has cheekpieces applied. |

16th 15 (19) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

Won a 17-runner C&D handicap for amateur riders last June (good) but didn't run as well again; having second run since a wind op but has a wide draw to overcome. |

6th 1 (3) |

Won an amateur riders' race off a mark 2lb higher than today's at York (1m2f, good) last June but he didn't match that level on his six subsequent starts; never-dangerous sixth of ten at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) when last seen 181 days ago and has since undergone his second wind operation; each-way claims on his return. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored three times, including over C&D, in 2024; has built up a long losing sequence since but is an in-form contender, half-length second when favourite at Carlisle most recently; on an attractive mark and Jake Dickson takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities. |

|
2nd 3 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Not beaten far on his last three starts and it was a solid fifth of 14 in the 1m Carlisle Bell (first-time blinkers, retained) ten days ago; handicapped to be competitive again. |
5/1 |
|
5th 16 (10) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins came in 2024 over 1m2f (good/good to firm) but he was runner-up three times last season; fair effort at York last time and now has first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces now trying 1m for the first time since his debut. |

Threatened on AW and turf in the spring but his last two efforts have been below par (C&D latterly); feasibly handicapped but others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Not at his best two weeks ago but he had been threatening on both AW and turf beforehand; on a dangerous mark and he can't be discounted. |
9/1 |
|
10th 10 (14) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
On a long losing sequence but twice went close on AW earlier this year and he was denied a clear run when 2l fourth of 11 at Newmarket (7f, good) last month; seems versatile ground-wise; might not be far away. |

9st 2lb |
11yo who has been up and down this season but has won twice, including over C&D (good), and he ran pretty well when third here (1m, good) last time; finished third in this last year and he could give a good account. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose 2026 wins at Ripon (1m2f) and Musselburgh (1m1f) show that he retains plenty of vitality; form dipped when back at this venue last time, so needs to rebound. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best when allowed to dominate, so this track suits his style of running; two wins already this year, here and at Musselburgh (1m1f); sits 3lb above his last winning mark, but still posted a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at York (sixth of 18; 28-1) last week. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
7-47 on AW but has struggled for form since finishing third at Newcastle (1m, Class 5; from 12lb higher) last November; failed to beat a rival in each of his last two starts (9.4f/1m4f) so it's difficult to have confidence. |
25/1 |
|
10th 2 (8) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when winning over C&D last March and 11lb lower than when successful at Pontefract in April; little inspiration from his recent AW efforts, though, beaten 11l, 17.5l, and 23l respectively in three starts in 2026. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
0-14 on Flat turf and a beaten favourite at Musselburgh two weeks ago; his hurdles record (2-7) is better but he had no obvious excuse when fifth to Indemnity at Plumpton (33-1) last month; others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won on Kempton AW (1m3f; not proven over this far) in February and latest start was up with his best hurdles form; 0-13 on Flat turf but that includes five seconds. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice early-season and better again when second in classy small-field races at Cheltenham and Wincanton, the latest a Grade 2; returned from a break with a win on the AW so his run in the Morebattle at Kelso goes down as disappointing; the return of a hood is no bad thing; enjoys good ground. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |
20/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |

Below par on AW last time; largely respectable form on turf otherwise this season, notably Windsor success in August; possibly has very little in hand off current mark, however. |
14/1 |
|
10 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

9st 8lb |
Won two in a row over C&D (good) in May/June; merely mid-division over 1m2f the next twice, here then at York, but the drop back down in trip and return to Ripon could both be positives and he's not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
9th 17 (14) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

Has form over 1m2f but was below par (behind Westernesse) returned to this trip last week when bidding for a Ripon hat-trick; still seeking first success beyond 1m. |
20/1 |

5 (8) |
19th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Not yet a year since he almost defied 8lb higher on quick turf (1m); mixed bag since, and hard to find any benefit from a third wind operation in the winter, but he's too well treated not to bear in mind at least. |
16/1 |

5th 7 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |

11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

1st 7 (6) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |

Record here reads 11128 and he arrives in form having won over a similarly stiff 1m at Carlisle 12 days ago; has struggled when running in better than 0-65 company but there can't be any complaints about a 1lb rise. |

Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring. |
