15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
6f winner at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; posted another good effort when runner-up at Epsom in August; only eighth of 11 at Hamilton (6f) last time but he's the sort to bounce back. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Bagged a pair of 6f handicaps at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; comes here on the back of a very good nose second of eight in 6f Epsom handicap a week ago; another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. |
100/30 |

2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Began this season with two wins, latterly when holding on by a short head to make all over C&D (good) in early July; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but returns here after a respectable eighth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-19 since winning twice early last year but he's on a much reduced mark and made some late headway over 5f at Wolverhampton last time; looks worth another go at this trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if he got involved. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Last of his two wins in 2025 came over C&D; signs he was on the way back when fifth of 12 here (7f) last month; holds claims in his first classified. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and at Sandown (5f, good) in July; however, soundly beaten on his last two outings (5f, good to firm/good) and has to raise his game. |
16/1 |

12th 2 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Both 2026 wins were 5f (soft/good) and decisively on top from Hypnotised at Sandown in July for latest; below form behind that rival at Newbury (good to firm) latest start but has bounced back before; one to consider. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Both 2026 wins were 5f and he was decisively on top at Sandown (good ground) 17 days ago; that was a personal best and he's in the mix, although significantly worse off at the weights with Sandown runner-up Hypnotised. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
This easier off his last winning mark for a yard among the winners of late; has only been beyond sprint trips twice during a long career, though, and has stamina to prove. |
16/1 |

3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Potentially well handicapped but was sluggish after a break over C&D in January. |
14/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Capitalised on the drop into Class 6 company when winning over C&D last October; came up short in Class 5 company twice afterwards and although he should be well treated on historical evidence, he may prove up against it back from 11 weeks off. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ran well on his only previous outing at Southwell but has lost his form of late and finished down the field at Redcar 11 days ago; hopes depend on how he reacts to first-time cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark on handicap debut at Doncaster in April (5f, good to firm); some fair runs since, including a good second over 6f, but disappointing on last two starts. |
8/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Patchy form since making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) in April, his best subsequent effort when beaten a head off this mark at Catterick (6f, good to soft) on his penultimate outing; each-way claims on his best form. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Difficult to recommend judged on last five starts, in which he's beaten very few opponents; supporters will cling to the hope that blinkers (replacing a visor) will help and that his two successes have come at Catterick. |
16/1 |
|
2 (6) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Below par on his last four starts, but Catterick (5f, good) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction and he won there (6f, good to soft) in July on his last encounter with slow ground; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10 (7) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
6f win here in July off 1lb higher; not beaten many home in three runs since and a visor is now reached for (has been wearing cheekpieces). |
20/1 |
