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. |
5/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Reappeared with a win at Catterick (6f, good) in April and then made all at Epsom (6f, good) this month; faded late on to finish sixth of seven at Hamilton since but he can be made to look well treated on the Epsom form (beat Amazing Journey) and his yard is no stranger to sprint handicap success at this meeting. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two solid efforts in April over 6f when the hood was applied, but he's failed to beat a rival over this trip on his last two starts and is still unproven on this far; has been absent for 70 days and others are preferred. |

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. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Showed career-best form when winning readily at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April and is also effective on fast ground but his subsequent efforts this spring were underwhelming; non-runner at Goodwood yesterday. |

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 |

9th 5 (2) |
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 |
