24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went handicapping off a high mark after two good runs in AW maiden and novice events; on this career-low mark for last two starts at Wolverhampton (about 1m) and involved in a tight finish there last week; not far away. |

0-14, but appears to have reached a mark he can win from judging by his second of nine behind a subsequent winner over C&D six weeks ago; a player if building on that. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four wins have been on AW, including one over C&D; no obvious excuses for latest 8l defeat at Southwell (1m, AW) though. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All four wins have been on AW and last two were over C&D in the spring; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for her last success and she's run well on turf in last two starts including a near-miss at Wetherby (7f, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and she's strongly respected back up in trip. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he got off the mark at the 17th attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) this month and has since been runner-up there (9.4f); also effective here and he's an each-way player. |
10/1 |

2nd 8 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
String of defeats at short prices before finally off the mark over 8.6f here a fortnight ago off a 2lb lower mark in 0-60 company; has not always looked the easiest and has to prove his stamina going into a deeper race. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
String of defeats at short prices this spring, remains a maiden and hasn't always looked the easiest; the return to Tapeta and step back up from 7f will help, though, and he holds claims under Tom Marquand. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five turf wins at around 1m (good/good to firm), the latest off this mark at Leicester in May; not at his best on last two starts but he could go well in a modest event. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (10) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and has continued in good form, refitted in cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Musselburgh (1m) 16 days ago; that form has been franked so he can go well again. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained his second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and posted a good third of 12 in 1m Carlisle handicap a week ago; this course winner rates a player off an unchanged mark. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in May and he's continued the good work with placed efforts in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); still looks on a workable mark and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A repeat of the form which netted him a C&D second last month (good to firm) off today's mark would take him close; hard to blame his Doncaster flop since on the return to a 1m trip he has won over before. |
8/1 |
|
11th 15 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back in better form over 7f at Doncaster and Leicester the last twice; still attractively treated, having gained sole handicap win off 12lb higher (over 1m); respected. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His form has deteriorated since his last win last May but he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; has another career-low mark today and is not ruled out. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

6th 10 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 25 starts but he was a good third over C&D last month and didn't see out 1m6f when fifth to Free Pic here last time; each-way claims back down in trip. |
