5th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A fairly useful 7f winner at his best; gambled on for his new yard and and shaped well when second of 11 in 7f Chelmsford handicap 26 days ago, just edged out having been set plenty to do; up 3lb but he can make amends with cheekpieces refitted. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of sorts last year for Martin Dunne but was previously a dual winner for Roger Teal, including under Adam Kirby who has recently commenced his training career and now houses this gelding; interesting off reduced mark dropped in class, with a revival possible. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins on AW; decent third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month but unable to back that up returning to turf when 14th of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); seems better on AW. |
9/1 |

14th 13 (10) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins (7f/1m, all AW) and it was a good effort when third in Southwell series final (1m, AW) 17 days ago; having a rare foray on grass but did finish second in good-ground Chester handicap (6f) in September; not dismissed from his lower turf mark. |

2lb lower than for his latest win at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last August, but hasn't been firing of late; first visit here. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Started 2025 with a bang, winning four handicaps (7f-8.6f) between January and March; mixed bag this summer but he returned to form with a clear second at Kempton (1m) last Friday and went one better there (7f) yesterday; this dual course winner would have be respected if running again today. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Found only an unexposed 4yo too strong over a mile here last week; handicapped to win but he wouldn't be suited by a tactical event back at 7f. |

1 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Started 2025 with a bang, winning four handicaps (7f-8.6f) between January and March; also finished second in a Class 3 handicap over C&D in April when rated 7lb higher; mixed bag this summer but he's on a good mark now and is of obvious interest back at a suitable level. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |
14/1 |
|
4 (1) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
2-2 over C&D, with the most recent of those wins coming last May off the same mark as today; solid efforts on the AW when last seen and he's since undergone wind surgery for the second time; contender back at this track. |
9/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-20 and his last success was off a similar mark in May; didn't shine at Newcastle last time but that was a muddling race and he didn't get much luck over C&D (close third) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good strike-rate and confirmed his wellbeing when keeping on well for third at Chelmsford last week, meeting trouble and nearest at the finish; closely matched with Riot, who also had a miserable trip through that Chelmsford event, and he shaped well in one previous run on Tapeta. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|
6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |
|
5 (3) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |
8/1 |
|
10th 17 (11) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Good record here with three wins including a division of this (soft; acts on good/good to firm) in 2024; cashed in on reduced mark to open AW account over 7f in November and just 1lb higher on this return to turf after three months away; possibilities. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Opened his AW account in C&D event in November; switch to front-running didn't quite pay dividends here last time but he still ran respectably; remains of interest in this scenario. |
