11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent record on AW features two wins; has failed to transfer that form back to turf in last two starts, taking record in this sphere to 0-7; something to prove. |
25/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Broadly consistent in handicaps, mostly on AW, until below par returned to turf last time when too free over 1m2f; return to 1m looks a good move but he's still seeking first turf win. |
20/1 |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He has improved for the addition of cheekpieces but not sure there is much mileage in his mark and that isn't the case with a few of his rivals. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-8; did go very close on the AW (1m3f; new cheekpieces) in April but pretty much tailed off in his subsequent races and his freegoing tendencies remain evident. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well down the field after racing too freely on turf last month but was in good form beforehand, most notably when close second at Southwell (1m3f; first-time cheekpieces) two runs ago; in the mix if back on song. |
8/1 |
|
13th 2 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Third in his first two handicaps, including at Nottingham (1m2f, good; visored) in his only turf race; better form when beaten a neck at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces) latest outing, which he'll need to build on. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in his second handicap; backward steps in his three starts since, admittedly clipping heels early on latest (Madjid's race at Doncaster; 11-2) but doubts are creeping in. |
16/1 |

8th 6 (7) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two turf starts last year; made the breakthrough in his second handicap when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) in February; yet to build on that, however, and others arguably have more scope for improvement on this switch back to grass. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Improved for the step up to 9.4f when winning at Wolverhampton last month, his second handicap; only fourth behind two of tonight's rivals at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; needs to raise his game but that is possible. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
AW winner over 8.6f for Ed Bethell, his only success in eight starts; didn't exactly sign off for that yard in great form and was sold on for 1,500gns. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven starts on the AW including a narrow success at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January, but has not matched that form in two outings in headgear since; enough to prove on turf debut. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
First run beyond sprint trips when winning an ordinary, small-field Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f) in January; met traffic upped to 9.5f latest (first-time cheekpieces; switches to a visor here) and can't be ruled out under experienced 5lb claimer Ashley Lewis. |
