26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |
20/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; may have been ready for a break towards end of last season but there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win came on British debut last April (1m1f turf); not with Mike Murphy, who has hit form since this one last ran, long and twice managed third over C&D despite being unwanted in the betting; could be the answer from handy draw. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 (3) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

66-1 when third of nine behind Port Road here two weeks ago; chance if he can build on that but overall profile suggests that wouldn't be assured. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |
9st 1lb |
Modest form for the Crisfords and nothing so far for current connections under both codes; down 10lb already this term. |

4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 40y |

Maiden was beaten a long way over 7f last time at Leopardstown and while he doesn't hold that much appeal can do better over this trip. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including in this race 12 months ago; 1lb lower than for his last win and he should be at concert pitch with two runs under his belt; one for the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last three wins have come over 1m at Pontefract but he finished down the field at that track on his recent return to action; that run could have sharpened him up and he is on a winning mark; not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has registered three of his four wins over C&D, the most recent off just 1lb lower last June; ran respectably at Newmarket when last seen; one for the shortlist back here. |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; came well clear in 7f Catterick maiden as 2yo but he has a mixed record in handicaps and was well seen off on the AW last time out; dropping in weights and now goes without the hood. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Bolted up in a Catterick maiden (7f, good to firm) last August, but he's finished down the field in three handicaps since including in two runs at Beverley this season; dropped another 2lb but he was well below form last time and has something to prove on this switch to AW. |
