12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including twice off higher marks in the month of April; unlucky third, having found daylight too late, in this race 12 months ago; soft ground was against him here last weekend; likely player if the cards drop right. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Below best on latest course start in October but has a strong C&D record otherwise, three wins include this race (good to soft) last year; now 2lb lower and primed for a good run if he avoids trouble in running. |
9/2 |
|
7th 10 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Kicks off for third trainer with a lot of racing under his belt (4-46); absent since April when well held on the AW, but this mark is workable and Billy Loughnane is booked. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won for a second time at Epsom (6f) before a near miss over 5f at Doncaster (off this mark); faced a stiffer task here last time when never in with a shout. |
7/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 2-3 round Epsom off a 3lb lower mark a month ago and ran to a similar level in defeat last time; might have been better drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has tended to be reliable once striking form in the past; should go well again. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Scored off a career-low mark to land his eighth success, at Epsom (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; back up 2lb but has recorded back-to-back wins previously so cannot be discounted. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a second C&D success in August and has continued in good form, runner-up in 5f Newcastle handicap 18 days ago; form has been franked, so he must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
1st Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from a short break to win at Wolverhampton (6f) in August and two creditable 5f runs have followed; returning to Clas 6 company will help; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Caused a surprise with his 25-1 win at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last month but he came up short when dropped back to 5f there (fourth of nine) last time; that wasn't a bad effort but he needs to find more to defy this mark. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Successful over 5f at Southwell in November and showed he's still equally effective at 6f when runner-up there off this mark 24 days ago, both under today's rider Jack Nicholls; another to consider. |
11/2 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
6f turf winner as a 2yo who was returning from 340 days off having been gelded when beaten just over a length into fifth of 14 over C&D last month, doing very well to finish that close after meeting all sorts of trouble; respected with a clearer run. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo; 6f winner on racecourse debut and similar form when third of ten in a soft-ground nursery at Catterick last October; absent since a lesser run on heavy two weeks later; market useful after absence on his AW debut; gelded since last seen. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 5f winner at Chepstow this season; managed only sixth of nine behind Moe's Legacy here (5.7f good to firm) last month, though, and might still be a shade too high in the weights. |
9/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Drawn wide at Chester last time and had previously won narrowly at Chepstow (5f, good to soft), maintaining his good season; perhaps high in the weights now, though. |

8th 12 (10) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) and is 5lb lower than for the latest in January; hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of runs in two of his last three starts and could go well from the inside stall granted a kinder trip. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All ten runs over 5f on AW, winning a novice and a Class 5 handicap at Chelmsford; cheekpieces didn't have a positive effect back at Chelmsford last month though and others are more appealing; first run at Southwell. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Rattled off an Ayr hat-trick over 7f on fast ground in July; yet to score off a mark this high, and wasn't so good on his last two starts, but good to soft ground probably didn't suit at Thirsk 25 days ago. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Belatedly exploited his drop down the handicap at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in July and he added two more wins over that C&D in the next fortnight; came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Doncaster three weeks ago; not handicapped out of things though and could bounce back. |

Notched a third victory of the season at Nottingham (5f) in July; not at his best in a pair of handicaps at Goodwood (6f) and Thirsk (5f) since though; has a bit to prove returning from a break in refitted cheekpieces. |

14/1 |

11th 5 (12) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

C&D winner off 11lb higher as recently as March; the odd good run for Ruth Carr this summer and he is closely matched with Zarzyni on a Beverley run last month; not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
8 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who has dropped down the weights and run well in defeat on his last two starts (5f, good to firm); his turf wins in Ireland came on soft/yielding going; could build on his recent form now back on easier ground. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

C&D winner (good) in May, but she's not hit the same level since and was a long way below form at Redcar last time; now drops back in trip but she has something to prove and yard also runs Canaria Queen. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dropped to 5f and sporting blinkers for the first time he produced an impressive display at Newcastle 13 days ago, travelling strongly and looking a cut above Class 6 level; up 6lb against stronger opposition this time but could well have more to offer at the trip. |
5/1 |

1st 2 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Early promise for Andrew Balding; not so good in 2025 but he is tumbling down the weights and drops in trip with blinkers fitted; still relatively low mileage for a race of this nature. |

2 (6) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Fell to career-low mark before winning at Pontefract in June and Thirsk (also 5f, good) in August; latter was best form since April 2024 and he's gone back up another 6lb, but this hat-trick seeker demands some respect. |
11/1 |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Off a reduced mark he won a 5f handicap at Pontefract (good ground) 54 days ago; still has handicapping scope off 3lb higher. |
