8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Three wins last year included one at Catterick (7f) and one off this mark (6f, good); absent five months and he will need to be at his best to make a winning return. |

Beat the Portland winner in August (6f, good) but rather subdued since then and the usual blinkers are off, replaced by cheekpieces. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Continues to edge down the weights, but 0-16 in handicaps and stamina for this far remains a major concern; finished behind two of these over C&D a fortnight ago; stable also runs Vecchio. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had beaten only one rival home in his first four starts for this stable but he's posted two solid efforts since wearing the hood on its own; down another 2lb and he's an each-way contender. |
8/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Had beaten only one rival home in his first four starts for this stable but he took a step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) six days ago when wearing the hood on its own (same today); chance. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in April but below form all three runs since, fourth of six at Haydock (5f) 11 days ago; this course winner is handily weighted if back on his A-game though. |
3/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month and bounced back from lesser run at Newbury (6f, good) when sixth of ten at Thirsk (5f, good to firm), beaten just over 2l; back on slow ground today and could be in the mix. |
15/8 |
|
6th 4 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Easily saw off 11 rivals at Musselburgh last month (5f, soft), form that has received some boosts since; not well drawn when down the field at Newbury two weeks ago (6f, good); mark left alone and perhaps vulnerable over 5f on a quick surface. |

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 |

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 |
