20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Finished second here just before Christmas but over 6f; struggled since, including over C&D latest; Sedgemoor is the more obvious of the stable pair. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won divisions of this in 2022 and 2024 but he's looking regressive; only seventh in a classified race at Thirsk last time which was won by Drish Samphire; 1lb out of the weights. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time winner who scored twice last year but he's been generally disappointing in six runs this season; handles most ground but he needs to raise his game to make a serious impact. |
15/2 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner whose mark continues to fall and he hasn't been devoid of spark this season; however, this 9yo needs to better what he's shown on his last three starts (the first of them over C&D). |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
14-race maiden but he returned to form with a creditable third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 17 days ago; that was more like it with blinkers added and has claims if he can back that up. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden; has attracted support on a few occasions, including at Doncaster on her seasonal return, and could yet have a bigger run in him; blinkers replace the hood or cheekpieces worn on his last three starts. |
12/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely). |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hampered by faller and pulled up at Lingfield in May, and withdrawn here three days later when jockey had concerns over how filly was moving and was not prepared to ride; however, she was just 7-2 at the time of withdrawal and this C&D winner is capable of playing a leading role off her last winning mark. |
6/1 |
|
1 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend. |
14/1 |
|
2 (12) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Kempton (6f, AW) last year, but she beat only one rival home at Kempton last month following a 63-day break; has won over 1m so this step back up in trip will be no issue, and she won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |

Placed in sole 1m attempt, raced over shorter otherwise; ran respectably last time in a Leicester classified event he'd landed 12 months earlier; hasn't won a handicap since 2023. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (13) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five wins have been on turf and latest was in this race last year; his form nosedived at Doncaster last month but he has a striking record at this track and is versatile ground-wise; big player if he can bounce back. |
13/2 |
|
11th 12 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |

12th 15 (17) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |

Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

No issue with this track, his last two wins over C&D (good to firm); knocking at the door lately, going close at Nottingham (6f, good to soft; beaten a head) a fortnight ago; should give another reasonable account. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
