2nd 1 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps, gamely making all at Chester on second occasion; pitched in at the deep end for Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, in which he was a never-dangerous eighth of 11 at 100-1, but that's earned him a 9lb rise; proving up to that task probably requires further improvement. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Sent handicapping this term and had 1m4f wins at Wolverhampton (AW) and Chester (good) on two of those three starts; gamely made all with first-time cheekpieces in the latter but that was off a mark of just 76 and, even though the form has been boosted, this race demands something of a much higher order. |

1st 8 (4) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Improved on handicap debut when scoring at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in March; appeared to run well when second to Galilean Quality in two-runner race at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month, which puts him into the each-way picture assuming that first-time headgear proves suitable. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who has won two handicaps (1m4f/1m6f) on turf this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle 17 days ago; still unexposed at this trip but he comes with risks attached after that heavy defeat. |
7/2 |

10th 12 (7) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
He has been doing well since being gelded and tackling handicaps on a sound surface, winning four-runner event at Leicester (1m4f) and three-runner race at Redcar (1m6f); far from disgraced in a Class 2 at Doncaster last time, bringing this year's form figures to 21213; not fully exposed and likely capable of better yet. |

3rd 4 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins and two seconds this season in his four small-field handicaps; 4-9 when upped to 1m6f at Redcar on latest, well on top; raised 3lb but this should also be a far more competitive race. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved to land handicaps at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and Southwell (1m3f) in April; posted another good effort when a staying-on third of ten at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 11 days ago; must enter calculations with this return to further also a plus. |

3rd 1 (5) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after wins here (1m4f) and at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in April; 3lb higher mark not the end of the world, but the drop back in trip does pose a question. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Pleasing third of five when stepped up to 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month and did the business under those conditions next time, getting the better of the hot favourite; had over 2l to spare at the line and a 5lb rise could have been worse; tough to beat. |

9st 1lb |
Her third 2yo run (1m, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) was encouraging; last of five on her seasonal/handicap debut four weeks ago (1m4f, AW); should do better today. |
