22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Small-field 6f affair not ideal last time and this is a bit easier back in the visor for the first time this season; last summer's easy Epsom win off 4lb lower (made all) showed he's at home round switchback tracks and he's one to consider. |

3rd 4 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark. |
6/1 |
|
11th 10 (17) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Back to his best with a front-running 7f win at Epsom last August; creditable fourth to Arantes Nascimento on his return to action last month; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and he is yet to win at 6f. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Drawn away from the action on his return to turf but was then said to have been unsuited by the undulations of Catterick last time, which would be a concern round here; 2lb above his last winning mark and has a bit to prove back from a short break. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has only won a novice when aged two; has threatened in handicaps from 7f to 1m3f but now has to get himself back on track after three lesser shows. |
20/1 |
|
12th 1 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win was in a Haydock novice two years ago; plenty of good runs for new yard this season but he was disappointing at Windsor on Saturday and needs to bounce back on this quick turnaround. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Flourished when switched to heavy and soft ground last autumn, winning over 6f and 7f; retains ability as a 3yo but he might have run better at Ayr last month when back on soft ground (first-time visor now discarded) and hard to depend on a turnaround. |
12/1 |
|
4 (7) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Likes testing ground as he showed when winning nurseries at Hamilton (6f, heavy) and Haydock (7f, soft) a year ago; has run with credit a couple of times in a light campaign this year, but still 4lb above his last winning mark; probably needs the new visor to make a difference. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Prominent-racer who won nurseries at Hamilton (6f, heavy) and Haydock (7f, soft) last September; got back near best with close fourth at Chester (7.6f, good) in May but he failed to beat a rival at Haydock last time; has been up and down since last success and he comes with risks attached after a break. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five C&D wins include this race for the last two years; not particularly convincing on 2025 form but has a good chance off current mark provided he's back on song. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (10) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark. |
12/1 |
|
8th 12 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner in 2024 but three subsequent visits have not gone nearly so well; none too consistent but two of his last four AW runs, including in January latest, give him a shout if he's ready following the absence; he's twice been runner-up after longer layoffs. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |
11/2 |
|
2 (9) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't fire on Tapeta three weeks ago but began this campaign with three respectable runs and is now only 3lb higher than when winning easily by nearly 5l over C&D (good) last summer; dangerous to ignore. |
7/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three encouraging runs this year, all in a higher grade than this; C&D winner; interesting contender back at this level. |
4/1 |
|
7th 8 (17) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All his wins have been over 7f but there's been only one of those (Epsom last August) in very nearly two years now; still paying for the ease of that win in a seven-runner race, so others are preferred. |
