20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His form has been patchy since an easy win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November but he's 2lb below that last winning mark and his form figures at Ayr read 3112, so it will be no surprise if he's in the mix. |
7/2 |

6th 6 (7) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran away with a 0-70 handicap over C&D in November but hit with a 10lb rise and he has come up short in eight subsequent runs; now back to his last winning mark and cheekpieces return after being left off at Southwell ten days ago; one to consider. |
10/1 |

10th 6 (2) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Below best this year, managing only sixth of eight in refitted cheekpieces (now removed) at Newcastle (7f) a fortnight ago, but he's effective over this C&D, well drawn and too well handicapped to rule out. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Has won only once since making his British debut in October 2023; has threatened plenty of times but has been very poor in last two races. |
14/1 |
|
12th 2 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
He's won just once since making his British debut in October 2023; however, that came this January (7f, AW) and a slow start proved costly when back at 6f at Southwell last Thursday; effective on turf and might not be far away now back up in trip. |

9st 5lb |
Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Well short of his best on his last three starts but he won off this mark at Southwell in early February (7f); capable on a good day but this isn't sure to be run to suit. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |
8/1 |

10th 12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough with a smooth win at Southwell (7f) in October but only sixth of 13 on return visit in November; has a bit to prove now but he's still lightly raced and is feasibly treated on his penultimate run. |
6/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

0-6 but runner-up three times, including when beaten half a length at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) six days ago; that proved his stamina and a major player from the same mark. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

All runs over sprint trips, showing best form when second in a 5f maiden at Leicester in July; some encouragement for this trip on pedigree and he could take a step forward now handicapping. |

9st 1lb |
First visit here proved a winning one when taking handicap over this trip (good to firm) last May; flopped on his second go one month later and only bits and pieces of form since; career-low mark and cheekpieces (0-3) make a return after two-year absence. |
10/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was at Brighton (7f, goof to firm) last May but that was off 11lb higher and he's shown signs of a revival on Tapeta recently; should get a good tow into this race and could be dangerous back on turf. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Won a Brighton handicap off 9lb higher last May but he's finished down the field in ten runs since; he wasn't beaten far over C&D ten days ago but overall record is now 3-38 and others are preferred. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Multiple wins include four over C&D; his losing AW run goes back two years but he's on a handy mark now and showed he can make it pay when close up at Bath (1m) recently after getting checked in his run; blinkers return and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; can be involved. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning at Newcastle (7f) in September and bettered that form when third over 6f at Southwell (also AW) in November; had wind surgery before respectable comeback over latter C&D one month ago; unexposed on turf and worth a second look. |

C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has a patchy profile but he's won twice at Newcastle (6f, AW) this year and bounced back with a creditable third at Haydock (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was an eye-catching effort from off the pace and he's respected back up in trip. |

It took a drop into classified company for him to return to winning ways in February (6f, AW; blinkered first time; final run for John Butler); gained a second Newcastle win of the year last month but he raced far too freely back there on Monday; up in class today and likely vulnerable. |
