15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner in the spring who shaped as though needing his AW comeback from a summer break before a poor run at Ffos Las; that later effort may have been down to the soft ground and he ought to fare better back on this surface. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two classified races on the AW and added a 1m good-ground handicap in April (3lb lower); respectable return from a break last month and wouldn't be without hope if handling these conditions (there are doubts). |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Almost three years since he last ran on turf and has a better overall record on AW; missed 2024 and 2025; pleasing reappearance at Wolverhampton in March; doubts raised by subsequent form; new headgear combination now. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
13th-time lucky when winning an 8.6f classified event at Wolverhampton in July; ran well for second under a penalty at Lingfield (1m) six days later; midfield finish off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; has shown promise on turf and Tom Marquand has a good record for the yard. |
9/2 |

5th 6 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won 8.6f classified here in July and was second in that grade under a penalty at Lingfield (1m) a few days later; evidently in good nick but has a bit more on his plate in this handicap and is not sure to be suited by the drop back in trip. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Chepstow (1m) before getting off the mark (13th attempt) in a classified event at Wolverhampton last Tuesday; pulled 5l clear with his main market rival in that race and he hit a personal best with that brave success; key player. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |
20/1 |
|
4th 11 (7) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (1) |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Career best when making all in Newcastle classified (1m) last month; hasn't matched that in three subsequent starts but he lost a shoe when back in a classified last time; probable contender with Billy Loughnane taking over. |
7/1 |

5th 10 (3) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

4th 7 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Back on the same mark as C&D win in March; not fared as well since, but has been off for two months after a below-par run on turf in July; needs to bounce back. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Three wins in an industrious 2025 and another this March; three of those were AW, as was the respectable show in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, while last June's 1m classified win at Chepstow was on soft; others look more solid these days on today's likely good or good to firm ground. |

Ended losing run in classified race here (7.3f, good) in June and was close second in Bath handicap (1m, good) nine days ago but this season's record is very mixed and he'd appeal more on better ground. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run in a classified event at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) in June but he was a remote third there (1m) last time; that was a tough task behind a handicap blot but he's not easy to predict and his two runs on slow ground have been underwhelming. |
