28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |

Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |

Promising third when back up to 7f at Southwell last month then won over this C&D, beating Concert Boy (due to run in the 5:00) by a short head; unexposed at the trip and respected up just 2lb. |

Well handicapped on pick of this year's AW form but finished well down the field on both starts last month (1m1f/7f) and is now 0-23 on turf. |

Kept busy and largely in good form without winning on the AW this season; beat one back on turf in 1m1f Carlisle handicap two weeks ago though so has a bit to prove. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won over C&D last month and placed on next four starts prior to winning over C&D last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap last time, so he escapes a penalty today; solid contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that came over C&D last month and he's been placed here in all four subsequent runs, including a close third over 7f last week; on same mark on this drop back in trip and he's a key player. |
11/4 |

3rd 11 (8) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Well backed when getting up late to win 6f course handicap last month; three solid placed efforts have followed (including C&D) and he could be on the premises again. |

A two-time 7f winner last summer; in good form this season until only seventh of nine in 7f Musselburgh handicap 16 days ago; the sort to bounce back though. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

C&D winner on good to soft last year and another solid C&D effort when third of 16 on good to firm six weeks ago; successful off 1lb higher on AW last year; likely to be in the thick of things. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins came over this trip on the AW at the start of the year, but he has made the frame several times on turf; was found to be coughing after running poorly at Thirsk ten weeks ago; can go well fresh and not easily dismissed. |
12/1 |

13th 6 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

5th 10 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made it two wins from three starts this year when picking up well to lead towards the finish over C&D 16 days ago; the third (Call Glory), fourth and fifth in that race have all run well since so the form has bit of substance; respected up 2lb. |

Sole turf win came off 2lb lower in this race last year, when with Ann Duffield, and he is 1lb below his last winning mark; interesting to see how he fares in the market on his first start for Ivan Furtado (same owners). |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Campaigned mainly over 6f/7f but looked suited by step up to 1m when keeping-on third of 18 at Doncaster (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; could still have more to offer over this trip; high on the list. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Gained sole win on AW; inconsistent kept to 7f this term but has possibilities off current mark provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces and new trip. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over C&D (Class 5, good; same mark) last July; has mixed hurdling with Flat racing this year and wasn't beaten far when third over C&D (good; 7-1, Just Dottie fifth) 25 days ago; highly likely to give his running, even though he isn't a frequent winner. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden who has dropped 11lb in the weights since introduced to handicapping; attracted market support when a creditable fourth to Irish Dancer at Catterick (5f, good) last week; return to 6f should suit; dangerous to dismiss. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran who gamely made all at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, his 12th win; only 1lb higher here and did pretty well to finish fifth at Catterick (7f, good) last month, given he pulled hard in the early stages (not a regular trait) and was denied a clear run; considered. |
9/2 |

5th 2 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran; game AW winner at Southwell (7f; 6-1) recently; 1lb rise looks fair and he's still 5lb lower than when successful over C&D (good to firm) last August; no reason why he shouldn't be thereabouts. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |
