6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player. |
9/4 |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Invigorated by a step up to 7f this winter, winning three times at Newcastle; latest success was smooth and a 4lb rise does not look harsh; leading contender again if proving equally effective at Southwell. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time C&D winner who went desperately close to making it three when pipped at the post by Flowstate (won twice since) last month; disappointed back here since but he's nicely handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Completed a four-timer on the AW at Lingfield in March; posted another solid effort when fifth of 11 in 7f Newmarket handicap two weeks ago so he can't be ruled out. |
8/1 |

5th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won four in a row on AW this year before close fourth at Musselburgh (7f); merely midfield in a big field over this C&D 12 days later but he sat prominent in a race that favoured those ridden more patiently; not discounted. |
20/1 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has built up a good strike-rate on AW for current yard; form since returned turf comprises a good effort and an excusable one; however, chance of landing this contest partly depends on the effects of new headgear. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent during the AW season and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival on recent turf return at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); also suited by 1m and probably won't be far away. |
7/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind. |
6/1 |

5th 8 (11) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on Southwell AW in January and usually thereabouts since but he is 1-19 on turf; should go close but his win record is off-putting. |

3rd 9 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
A dual 6f/7f AW winner in January and he's held his form well since, beaten a head in 6f handicap here two weeks ago; he can go well again nudged up 1lb. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has winning form on turf, but has exclusively raced on the AW since last August, winning twice; favourably treated on the pick of her form on grass and holds an each-way shout. |

12th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Five wins, four on the AW including over C&D last month; beaten less than a length, albeit only fifth of nine, back here 12 days ago; better drawn than of late and could go well. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Below par on his last few starts in the winter but a break may have helped and he's on a handy mark on form as recent as last November; he's capable of running well when fresh and is not ruled out. |

7th 7 (5) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Campaigned at Newcastle in the last two months of 2025, having a good spell in November but going off the boil in December; starts 2026 needing a resurgence. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Turf winner at 6f and 1m as a 3yo; had a low-key spell in midsummer but he recaptured form off a reduced mark when runner-up at Redcar (7f) in September and soft ground perhaps counted against him since; unexposed on AW and he's weighted to go well on his best C&D form last year. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has been kept busy since winning over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in December; went in again at Southwell on Tuesday evening and needs respect. |

1st 4 (2) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |

7th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

Smooth win at Newcastle (7f) in December and now rated 2lb lower; that is a result of beating just one horse home in four subsequent starts; jury out for now. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism at Newcastle (7f) but failed to match the form in two starts on consecutive days later in December; yet to win over this trip; others preferred. |
