8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |
10/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well at Bath in June but has lacked consistency this year; 7yo who's far from guaranteed to take advantage of being 2lb below last winning mark. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back on form when second in a C&D handicap last month; possibly unsuited by a drop to 6f for the first time in well over two years when seventh at Kempton since; good shout if recapturing the previous C&D form. |
3/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Raced over further since handicapping and his sole success came over 1m last May; second of seven at Lingfield last time (7f), well positioned in a race that was steadily run to halfway; on a competitive mark but dropping to 6f is the query. |
7/1 |

2nd 6 (8) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well handicapped on his Newcastle win (1m) last May but he's hard to predict and was beaten 10l at Southwell (7f) last time; that took his record to 1-23 and others are preferred. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Flat winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but he won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May before a creditable third at Uttoxeter 11 days ago; did well to hang in there after being pestered for the lead last time and he's been an improved performer since switched to fences; respected. |
100/30 |

3rd 4 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Low-grade Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles but made a successful chase debut at Fakenham when too good for Getaway Jewel and one other finisher; this is deeper and he's up 5lb. |
7/1 |
|
1st 2 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a low-grade Flat handicap last summer but has modest record over hurdles and was well beaten at Taunton (2m, good) last month, after a layoff; might be aided by refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but is not bred for fences; risky. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |
9/1 |

2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Below par turned out quickly last time and given a rest since; has shown his recent improvement on turf and this return to AW presents a question mark. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
All seven wins have been here, including three over C&D; in the money twice here since his last win and holds place claims at least. |
8/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Frequent Wolverhampton winner who's 0-12 on turf, including in his Irish days (has 4lb lower mark than on the AW); very consistent, though, and should get the good pace he wants, so every chance he gets involved again. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

8.6f win here last month and turned in another solid effort back here on Monday; wouldn't want a tactical affair back at 7f but still more appealing than many. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f) in January; that form puts him in the picture but he hasn't threatened back on turf in last two runs and overall record is now 1-29. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he didn't shine back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and that took his overall record to 1-28; mixed messages. |
33/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win from 27 starts but that came at Lingfield (7f) in January and he's finished a close third there in last two starts; remains feasibly treated off same mark as last time but he still has something to prove on turf and his best form has been at 7f. |
