3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from a break with good third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and he went very close here (7f, good to firm) last Friday; he's done all of his winning at 7f but can be in the mix if the return to 1m isn't an issue. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Productive spell in June/July 2024 featured a C&D success off 6lb higher; poor striike-rate since but he ran encouragingly at Ayr (first turf attempt of 2026) most recently; in the mix. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Low-key run at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; return to a longer trip is in his favour but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

C&D win last October was a convincing one and he is only 2lb higher today; solid third at Wolverhampton when last seen in January; still has potential after just nine starts. |

3rd 4 (4) |
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 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner off 11lb higher last spring whose mark tumbled on the AW over the winter; back in form when second to Dion Baker here last time, in headgear (retained) for the first time in two years, and a 7lb swing entitles him to at least close the gap. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

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. |

9st 8lb |
Ran three sound races in June, notably when 0.75l third over C&D (good to firm) then beaten a head at Bath next time (1m, good); below par on AW latest but has an each-way chance back on turf. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives in very good form without winning, a clear second of 11 in 1m Bath handicap 25 days ago; drawn wide but this course winner merits serious consideration with Oisin Murphy back up. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

15th 8 (5) |
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. |

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

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. |
12/1 |

2nd 8 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Three Tapeta wins, including C&D; recent form figures not inspiring but she didn't run too badly when sixth of 14 over C&D on her first run back from wind surgery and an excuse emerged last time (reportedly lost action). |
18/1 |

9th 10 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

2nd 5 (3) |

Three C&D wins but perhaps even more effective on Tapeta; had the benefit of Jack Callan's claim when successful at Wolverhampton (7f) last month and although back up 3lb he's perfectly capable of finding another race off this mark. |

Both wins were over 1m on AW early this year; has some fair form on turf but he's been well held back in this sphere in both runs for current yard; bit to prove again and has work to do back up in trip and grade; another change of headgear. |
