4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Hit a good vein of form on AW earlier in the year, winning three times including over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton in March; 0-11 on turf but it was a fair effort when fifth at Doncaster last June and he's not ruled out. |

3rd 1 (4) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D. |

2nd 2 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he bagged a third success in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago when overcoming a wide passage; up 3lb but this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |

9st 11lb |
2-4 since returned to turf in April, the latter win gained at Catterick (7f, good for firm) three weeks ago; effectively 6lb higher here if Conor Whiteley's reduced claim is considered but ought to go well again. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Winner over 7f at Musselburgh in April (good) and sound run back up to 1m there last time (good); below par tried in cheekpieces in between; can be involved. |

3rd 1 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Backed when winning over 7f here in April (good) and first-time cheekpieces perhaps backfired at Doncaster; those aids are now left off but has stamina to prove over this far. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |

1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

0-11, but has shown some ability and didn't seem to lack for stamina when a close fourth of six at Beverley (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago; could make the frame again. |

4th 5 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ten-race maiden but she ran one of her better races when second of seven (beaten 3l) here over 8.5f 27 days ago; doesn't appear to be crying out for this step up in trip but she has claims if seeing it out. |
15/2 |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

First real signs of promise when fourth in a couple of minor AW events in March; not at her best 16 days ago and she is not a solid option back on turf. |

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky. |
