27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Usually leads or races prominently; two sprint wins in 2025, the latest over 6f at Thirsk (good to firm; when 3lb higher) last May, but he was quiet towards the end of the campaign and has been off since August; perhaps other days. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Two wins this year, the latest when making all over 6f at Thirsk in May; there have been some excuses since then and his record at this track means he can't be ignored. |
7/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Still below a winning mark despite two successes since March (5f on Tapeta and 6f on fast turf), but yet to oblige on genuinely slow turf and a record of 85577 around here doesn't set the pulse racing. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
In fine form on the AW this winter, landing back-to-back 6f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Southwell recently; very lightly raced on turf but still merits serious consideration in his hat-trick bid. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (8) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a sixth victory on Tapeta when going in at Wolverhampton off 3lb lower three weeks ago; never won off a mark quite this high but gives his trainer, who also run He's An Angel, a decent hand. |

All five wins have been on Tapeta and last three have come over C&D; finished a remote third at Southwell 12 days ago but that was behind a handicap blot and he was in good form before that run; shortlisted. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Won over 5f at Catterick in April (fine over 6f) but subsequent defeats underline his inconsistency. |

6th 2 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Inconsistent this year and not at the top of his game on his last two starts; however, before those he won over this C&D and perhaps the return to this track will be a positive; in the mix if so. |

C&D winner in October but yet to hit top form in handicaps this season, only 11th over 7f Doncaster 17 days ago; this is easier, though. |
7/2 |
|
11th 12 (15) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Dual AW winner but he's been off the boil on Polytrack and Tapeta since December; still lightly raced on turf but he needs to rediscover his spark back in this sphere. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Both wins have came over C&D; below his best on his last two starts but now back on his last winning mark; not out of this. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last summer; doubled his tally when landing a classified event at Chelmsford in January; fair run over C&D on his penultimate start but he was 11l behind Tuscan Point over C&D ten days ago. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A visor for the first time saw him break his duck in a 6f classified event at Chelmsford in January; solid fourth over C&D two weeks ago; more needed to take this. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Capable at the right level, narrowly winning a C&D handicap in August (from dead-heater Top Biller) and ran his best race since when a clearcut winner of a 6f classified at Chelmsford in January when first-time visored; didn't get going soon enough back here since but can't rule out. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |
|
6 (8) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
3-7 on AW, his latest win coming at Kempton (6f) a fortnight ago on third start for Adam Kirby; up 3lb on just this second go on turf and he can probably do better again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 10 (4) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2-2 in handicaps for Martin Dunne, winning at Southwell and at Lingfield (both over 6f) towards the end of last summer; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he hasn't threatened in two runs for current yard and needs to rediscover his spark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
2-2 in handicaps for Martin Dunne, winning here and at Lingfield (both over 6f); didn't get the best of passages at Wolverhampton (6f) on his first start for this yard and looks worth a try over this extra furlong. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he bagged a third success in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago when overcoming a wide passage; up 3lb but this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Took a long time to get off the mark but he's got the hang of winning now, having been successful over C&D and 7f at Southwell in two of his last three starts in classified events (outstayed at about 1m1f in between); should make a good go of it back in a handicap. |

His only placed effort came over C&D last September; perhaps needed this month's return from 80 days off but others arrive with more compelling claims. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Six-race maiden; belied his 50-1 odds with third-place finish at Southwell (7f, AW) most recently; each-way possibilities, provided that form is backed up. |
14/1 |

3rd 8 (5) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Has yet to make the frame in five runs, cheekpieces tried when a never-dangerous sixth of 12 in 6f handicap here 16 days ago; others appeal more. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden produced his best effort on final start for former yard over 9.5f at Wolverhampton in October when a 2.25l second of 12 off 45; this longer trip will suit but 15lb higher here and might need this run. |
11/2 |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

3yo maiden who has weak claims on his 6f/7f form; however, pedigree suggests this new trip may prompt improvement. |
