24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two 7f novices last August/September; dropping down the weights and a market check is advised but he's been down the field at Doncaster on his three starts this season (7f, good to firm). |
66/1 |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won two 7f novices last year; no better than seventh in three handicaps and needs to step up. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a pair of 7f novices at Redcar and Newcastle last summer but he's failed to kick on sent handicapping, beating one on his seasonal return over C&D two weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner last November; beaten 3l when fifth of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in July but he was beaten a long way at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago; drops back in trip with blinkers now tried. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
7f novice winner; it wasn't too bad a run when beaten 3l on the AW last time (7f) and he's down in grade over a longer trip; not discounted. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Found a weak Newcastle novice last backend and has struggled in two runs back, latterly when out of his depth in a Group 3; first-time headgear will need to make a big difference. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Windsor (5f, good to firm) in May and second at Bath (5f, firm) next time; the track may not have suited at Brighton last time and he could bounce back with a big run. |
7/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Running well in turf handicaps this summer, following his success at Windsor (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) with a good second (winner gone in again since) at Bath (5f, firm) two weeks later; up in grade but could well have more to offer. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt (first in cheekpieces) when keeping on strongly to win at Windsor 15 days ago (Danger Alert fourth and Over Spiced fifth); up 5lb but still unexposed in the context of this field. |

Lightly raced but didn't last long with the Crisfords and hasn't offered all that much in two handicaps. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent gelding who ran another solid race when second of eight at Southwell two weeks ago; sets the standard and looks sure to go well again. |
4/6 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-race maiden; disappointing favourite kept to 7f last time but gave the impression this drop back in trip is worth exploring; major player on peak efforts. |
11/4 |
|
5 (6) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Shaped well amidst evident inexperience on his Chelmsford debut last November (6f); not so good on his reappearance in May but he was gelded and underwent wind surgery soon after that; back from a break with a fine second at Kempton two weeks ago (wore this combination of accessories for the first time); obvious claims with a repeat. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-race maiden; shown precious little since wind surgery, toiling over 7f here (40-1) 11 days ago; a most unlikely candidate. |
66/1 |
|
4 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Second run, which came here over 6f, was better than her first but she was last of six over this C&D two weeks ago; makes her handicap debut with better needed. |
12/1 |
|
6 (1) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second run was better than her first but she still has a mountain to climb in this company. |
