8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been at Wolverhampton and he went close in a classified event there (7f) last Tuesday; record of 0-12 on turf but he has placed form in this sphere and he seems fairly versatile ground-wise; key player. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

C&D winner; landed a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield in February and she ran her best race since when third over 7f here five weeks ago; more appealing than many in a weak race. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Landed 7f classified event at Lingfield in February and not disgraced in handicaps since, sixth of ten there (6f) last time; merits serious consideration back in classified company here. |

Just held on to win 7f classified here in February but found things a bit tougher in her two subsequent handicaps (7f/6f); usual cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; others look stronger. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Should be well treated but he hasn't offered a great deal since January; this trip perhaps more suitable than the 5.7f he tackled at Bath on his return from a break four weeks ago; still looks opposable. |

10th 8 (3) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Four wins on the AW and 8lb lower than for the latest; promising return when beaten under a length into third of six at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in January, but hasn't built on it; switch to blinkers needs to have a positive effect. |

Regressed sharply last year and has been tried over various trips of late; one of his better efforts over 1m here last Tuesday but is worse off back out of handicap company and no certainty to repeat the dose. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Not the most consistent and officially rated 4lb inferior to stablemate Mister Sandman, but his sole turf success came in this race last year when sent off 14-1; interesting with the cheekpieces back on. |

Won a 5.5f classified on the first of his two visits to Brighton (last summer) but ran poorly in the other; latest start was easily his best in 2026 but that was in March and he's inconsistent. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

All of his four turf wins have been on good or slower including heavy; his last win was at Bath (5.6f) last September but he's finished down the field there in his last three runs; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark; regular hood is removed. |

2-30 overall, with the second win in a classified at Bath (5.7f, good) early last month; ran moderately under the same 7lb claimer at Brighton two weeks ago and may need his best run since last May. |

Just one win from 25 starts but that was over C&D and he ran well to finish fourth of 12 over C&D (good to soft) on his penultimate run; has been a bit up and down in five runs this season but his best form form puts him in the picture. |

His sole win from 24 starts came over Bath's extended 5f last May; has the same mark today and some minor honours this term, but the switch from cheekpieces to today's visor needs to make him step back up a notch. |
