28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
2-2 this year, winning 6f handicaps at Chelmsford in January and at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; 6lb rise for latest success takes him to a career-high mark but he is well drawn and should give it another good go. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Running in this race for the third time, having finished second in 2024 and fourth last year; those runs were after a break but he has the benefit of a run this time around, winning a 6f handicap at Chelmsford five weeks ago; still on a feasible mark and he is a key player for a stable going well. |

1st 5 (2) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who is 3lb lower than when last successful; second of nine at Lingfield (5f, AW) in September but he was below his best on turf on his next three outings; returns from a 97-day absence but he's of interest back on the AW. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not beaten far at Hamilton in August (5f, good) but only four ran there and he hasn't built on it since; will be 3lb lower from the weekend and easy enough to have reservations. |
25/1 |

2 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |
8/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Appeared to run well when a close third at Hamilton last month but that effort is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; down in the weights but stable may have stronger claims with Democracy Dilemma. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won debut at Ascot (5f, soft) in sole 2yo start; missed 2024 but made a respectable return at Ripon, only to find the tough 6f on Newcastle AW stretching him in August; has potential back at 5f on handicap debut. |
9/2 |

1 (9) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made a bright start with his 5f win at Ascot (soft) in May 2023; didn't return to the track until this month but he showed promise again when third at Ripon (5f, good); entitled to be sharper for the run and bold show looks assured now stepping up to 6f. |

3rd 1 (4) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
55,000gns Land Force colt who made a bright start with his 5f win at Ascot (5f, soft) in May 2023; been on the sidelines since then but he recorded an RPR of 86 on his debut and needs a close look on his comeback. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |
8/1 |

7th 7 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
An improved spell over 5f last July included an AW win and a close second in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (soft); unable to sustain that level after but he hasn't had many chances in 5f handicaps and may well do better this year, if not today. |

9st 7lb |
On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Good spell culminated in an October double; form has dipped sharply since and he is due a 2lb drop in future; close second in sole C&D attempt but this is harder and doesn't look as if he's about to add to his tally. |
16/1 |

9th 3 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Best to forgive reappearance effort (badly hampered); registered three wins apiece in 2024 and 2025 but needs to prove he can defy current mark. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Better than ever last autumn, winning 5f handicaps at Leicester (good to soft) and Doncaster (heavy); creditable fourth (Duran second) in this race on his 2025 reappearance; likely to be competitive from a handy draw. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 3yo but his form headed south last year; back to winning ways when making all at Bath (5f, firm) four weeks ago; his head carriage has always been a bit ungainly but he's tough to pass when on song; major player despite the 4lb rise. |
2/1 |

Front-runner who has won four times from 20 starts; mostly struggled last year and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell when last seen 132 days ago; down another 2lb but others have stronger claims. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
His last win came over C&D last July (good; off 1lb higher) and he stayed on for a close third at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; firmly in calculations. |
10/1 |

3rd 10 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
May have needed his recent comeback from six months off at his age (cracked late on having raced prominently from a low stall over 6f round Chester); 2lb below his last successful mark and has won here before but David Allan has opted for Vince L'Amour. |

Won 6f novice (heavy) here as 2yo but a long way from repeating that promise in 2025 and now tries something new, a drop in trip in first-time headgear. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |

Promising 2yo who was well suited by slow ground; struggled in three runs this year but should get his ground today and a revival could be on the cards. |

12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All races at 6f; progressive 2yo who ended the season with a novice win at Leicester (heavy) but he's had a very slow start to 2025 and has been gelded since last seen in May; some questions to answer over new trip. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Led late on when winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton in June; best run since when third of ten at Leicester 11 days ago (5f, good to soft); more to prove back over 6f. |
10/1 |
|
11 (4) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade. |
10/1 |

53 |
19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb

Close second at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June and went one better there (5f, good) 11 days later; effective over 6f in the past; however, down the field on his last two outings and needs to get back on track. |
