Yet to win on turf, but is now 1lb lower than when winning at Newcastle in February (5f); could go well, although was beaten 10l here last time (6f, soft). |

A contender on his AW form this year but latest fourth to Parisiac at Hamilton (5f, good) doesn't suggest he is the answer this time. |

Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred. |

Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Best at 5f, but all his wins have come on AW or good/soft ground on turf; fair third on fast ground at Catterick two runs back (5f) but well beaten after being slowly away and losing a shoe over C&D last week. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
A hood has helped in recent starts, winning at Newcastle (6f) in March and running creditably in turf handicaps (6f/5f, both good ground) twice last month; needs more to come out on top here. |
6/1 |

5th 8 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Fitted with hood for last two starts, winning on AW then respectable fourth at Pontefract, both over 6f; placed over 5f once; 0-5 on turf but could go well in the retained headgear. |
11/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has gained both wins on AW, including at Newcastle in latest start when wearing a hood and attempting 6f for the first time; far from solid on her turf form but otherwise may have more to offer at this distance in the retained headgear. |

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

Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |

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

Has won on all three Tapeta tracks, most recently over C&D in December, not as good since and although he ran better back here in April, he found little at Newcastle next time; others more likely. |

8st 13lb |
Won at Hamilton (6f, good) last month on second start back from a break and the neck runner-up went one better there next time; he's used to plying to his trade in a lower grade but is not discounted up just 2lb. |

C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Placed twice at Southwell (5f) in late 2025 but he has failed to fire on his last four starts; should be well treated but he is not one for maximum faith. |
