1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Races mainly on AW where he has six wins; 1-15 in this sphere and may be worth waiting until he returns to AW. |

3rd 3 (7) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent spell under Ryan Kavanagh during the winter but resumes from a short break still on a career-high mark as a result (3lb above his highest successful rating); more likely than most to give his running, though, possibly from the front again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner who has been running well since landing a handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) in November; can go well again. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner who resumes from eight months off on a career-high mark; gone well fresh before but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and may need some help from the handicapper. |
12/1 |
|
2 (13) |
31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Scored four times on AW last winter; opened his turf account with Brighton success (7f, good to firm) latest start, taking record here to 27221; likely player, provided he copes with drop in trip. |
9/2 |
|
2 (3) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner who twice went close over C&D earlier in the summer; has had his moments at the stalls, can pull hard and will always need races to set up given his run style, but he's one to consider; blinkers return. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on AW for this yard last year; yet to be placed from five runs on turf and runs off his highest mark; may be better for the run. |
5/1 |
|
5 (6) |
15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton in July (7f); two solid efforts have followed and the return of cheekpieces could help squeeze out the requisite improvement. |
9/2 |
|
3 (6) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing when only fourth of five at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month but made winning stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f) two starts ago and could plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip. |
5/1 |
