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. |

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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW but he has won on fast turf; good fourth at Ripon in April but he could only manage a midfield finish at Thirsk in May; 2lb lower than when short-headed by Brazen Bolt in this race 12 months ago but he arrived in top form then. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
25-1 winner of a division of this race 12 months ago; arrives in form following a success at Southwell and a creditable fourth of eight at Ripon; should be in the thick of things again. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Placed three times on AW over the winter before resuming winning ways over 5f at Southwell 18 days ago; hasn't been successful above a mark of 76 so a career best will be needed if he's to follow up. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |
25/1 |

9th 15 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |
20/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring over 7f here (good to soft) last month but he wasn't in the same form at Epsom last week; has bit to prove again after that and he hasn't had much luck with the draw. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Largely in decent nick this season, snapping a losing run at Chester (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago in this refitted headgear combination; retains handicapping scope off 5lb higher. |

10st 7lb |
Winless since 2024 but largely in decent nick this season until tried visored when fourth of five at Lingfield (6f) 13 days ago; tongue strap/cheekpieces are refitted here and he's the sort to bounce back. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian but his last win was in February 2024 and he's not made an impact in seven runs this year; mark continues to fall but losing run is up to 20 and others are preferred. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Now 3lb lower than when winning on AW at Newcastle (5f) in January; fair form on turf last twice, latest when 2l fourth at Thirsk (5f, good); has won on fast ground; each-way chance. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

3rd 3 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Two AW wins this winter; never in the hunt at Wetherby last month on his return to turf but he is effective over C&D and seems to handle any ground; not ruled out. |
