17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Prevailed by half a length in similarly big field at York (5.4f, good to soft; Class 4) two weekends ago, taking record to 9-39; yard has landed this race for the last two years; respected back down in grade, even with 5lb penalty. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The bulk of his winning has been done on AW and although he went close behind Little Mi Mi at Hamilton last month, he looks vulnerable in this field. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Most wins on the AW but able on turf and stayed on well for second here 20 days ago (good; might not prefer it softer); this is a better race but he'll appreciate chasing a strong pace if ground conditions are suitable; 2lb out of the weights. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made a winning reappearance at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he's finished no better than sixth across his five runs since; blinkers/cheekpieces worn on last two outings are left off for this return to AW. |

9st 9lb |
Made a winning reappearance at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he's finished no better than sixth across his four runs since; has to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces (replacing the blinkers adopted last time). |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all four of his wins at Newcastle, with the most recent of those successes coming there over 5f 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks fair but he was well beaten when last seen over 6f. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three of his wins have come at Newcastle and he has run some good races this winter, including his latest third when keeping on after an awkward start (not his first); capable at this level; respected. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
9yo who has dropped down the weights and showed spark when second of four at Nottingham last month; however, well beaten at Thirsk since and he's winless on turf since September 2021; others appeal more. |
50/1 |

12th 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Three poor efforts since returned to turf; now back to the mark off which she won at Yarmouth (sole turf win) last July but she'll need a major revival against some in-form sprinters. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

Won a Wolverhampton (5f) handicap in February off this mark, but she has beaten just one rival home in three runs since; others much safer. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Should be making a big impact off this mark and although he has been a shade underwhelming on turf this summer he has too much ability to leave out of calculations at this level. |

5th 3 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
12-time winner, three of them here (5f/6f); not beaten far on last two starts and is on a fair mark so could go well. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead, as when winning sole C&D start last summer; below recent best at Leicester recently but he looked to have a Beverley race in the bag the time before, only for Call To Action to race past late; should go well again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
2-2 over C&D; shaped encouragingly after two-month absence with third of ten in 5.5f Doncaster handicap last month; that race has already produced two winners so he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark. |
