18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
1m4f winner who has gone 3-4 over hurdles for Tom Lacey and easily won on handicap debut last time at Southwell (good; second run in this headgear combination), albeit against only four rivals; up 8lb but has momentum behind him. |

1st 1 |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat scorer who has made a bright start over hurdles, going 2-3 in 2m Fakenham novice when last seen out in October; goes handicapping after an absence now and can't be ruled out. |

1st 1 |
17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
All-the-way Market Rasen hurdling debut winner in August, and 2l ahead of Currumbin when fifth at Warwick latest (2m, good); that form sets the standard here, and the second and fourth each won (over fences) next time; obvious player if settling better; gains tongue-tie. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Doesn't always settle but his recent hurdles form features a comfortable win at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft); ran creditably at Catterick last time; possibilities, provided he takes well to fences. |

1st 2 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
7-32 on the AW and 2-19 on turf, but he has performed well on grass in his last two starts, latterly over 1m2f at Yarmouth where he didn't get the clearest of runs; respected. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine wins to his name, including C&D, and just 1lb higher than for March's narrow Kempton success (1m3f); two creditable efforts have followed but he could use the ground drying out if he is to add to his tally. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from five starts; scored easily at Newmarket latest; better than ever and may improve further in his current form; respected assuming he's as effective back at 2m and returned to AW. |

1st 3 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In the groove this season and hit career-best form when winning a five-runner race from off the pace at Catterick (1m6f) nine days ago; up 3lb but highly respected. |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three good runs this season, notably when winning off 3lb lower over 1m4f at Doncaster early last month (good to firm); stays 1m6f well; not disgraced on good to soft last time and one with a chance. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins on the Flat have been over longer trips (1m6f/2m); most struggled since winning a maiden over hurdles last June and he was well beaten here over 1m2f in April; off since and others are preferred. |

12th 13 (6) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two staying wins on AW last winter and has since won over hurdles but he was tailed off in the latter discipline when last seen in October and, reappearing over 1m2f, others are higher up the list. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; in good order this winter, including when midfield over C&D last week (met trouble on a few occasions); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and he should be in the thick of it once again. |

5th 2 (9) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Generally consistent; close second, finishing strongly from difficult position, in amateur riders' event at Kempton (6f) last week; respected off same mark back up in distance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Generally consistent, including over 6f (raced mainly at further); has made the frame at Southwell in three starts since returned to AW; won his last Kempton attempt (in late 2024); solid. |
