15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has done well on AW for current yard, completing a remarkable eight-timer along the way; failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-10; bit to prove off same mark. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A revelation on AW for new yard since last November, posting an eight-timer; close second of six off this mark at Wolverhampton last month; he's 0-9 on turf but this is his first run on grass for his current trainer and he could be involved. |

All four wins have come on Tapeta including at Southwell (1m) five weeks ago, but he does handle Polytrack; respected despite a 4lb rise with cheekpieces now given a go. |

Good third over a mile here last month but he failed to back it up over that same distance 11 days ago; perhaps vulnerable once again. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

0-18 but has shown ability as when second of nine at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) ten days ago; return to this trip not a problem and he holds each-way claims again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but he got right back on track when fourth of 11 in 1m Southwell handicap nine days ago, doing best of those held up off a steady pace; he's effective at this longer trip and is one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

4th 7 (10) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Free-goer who came from the rear for a close third behind Soames Forsyte over C&D last month and may not have been suited by the much more positive tactics when below that form at Wolverhampton (8.6f; ran without usual hood) a few days later; however, he's 0-16 now and has become frustrating. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole turf success came at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in August; he is now 16lb higher after a productive spell on AW and finished 12l adrift when returned to turf over C&D last month; down the list despite his yard being in fine form. |
33/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Built on the encouragement of his comeback effort when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (1m, AW) 30 days ago, taking his record on the AW to 2-4; claims following a 3lb rise. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning debut at Newcastle (7f) last March and he got back on track after seven months off when sixth of 11 over C&D last month; not ruled out off a 2lb lower mark with cheekpieces added and few miles still on the clock. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Down the weights since some ordinary 7f runs in the middle months of 2025 and looked as if he might take advantage shortly when a close second at Thirsk (1m, good) in April following a break; however, he hasn't run to the same level since and needs a revival returned to 7f. |
9/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good second at Thirsk on his seasonal return last month; sent off favourite at Ayr on the strength of it but could only manage sixth of the seven runners behind Starliner (Donna Nook second); cheekpieces return. |
4/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Strike-rate is only 1-16 but he gained the win at Ayr and returns here off an attractive mark (peak one was 15lb higher); ran encouragingly at Thirsk (1m, good; 1l second) most recently, proving suited by the switch back to turf from AW. |

Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |

7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard. |

9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |
9/4 |

1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |

Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

Last three wins have been on the AW, the most recent off a 6lb higher mark at Newcastle (7f) in December; below his best there over 1m after becoming upset in the stalls 90 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to turf on his first start since. |
