28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |

1st 1 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |

C&D winner on his stable debut in January; unable to build on that effort in three runs in January; others are preferred for win purposes. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Returned from wind surgery with a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; creditable runs in defeat since but she will need to pull out more to defy this mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back on track when getting off the mark on turf at Pontefract (6f, good) in April following wind surgery; placed twice since and she looks sure to be thereabouts. |

3rd 1 (8) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Back in good form since having wind surgery and returned to turf from AW, winning comfortably over C&D (good) then creditable second under a penalty at Yarmouth (7f); back on career-high mark but still looks shortlist material returned to this scenario. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed form this year but ran okay when third at Newmarket (7f, good) recently and has dropped below his last winning mark; unraced on Tapeta but seemed fine on Polytrack on his two previous AW runs; might not be far away. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 9 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Dual Yarmouth winner over this trip last year, latterly off tonight's mark; will need a career-best effort if he's to take this and his last couple of runs suggest that may not be forthcoming. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (11) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins (good and good to soft) last year and he comes here just 2lb higher than for the latter success; promising reappearance last month but he failed to fire on soft ground here last week; type to bounce back. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Low-key run at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; return to a longer trip is in his favour but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
11th 12 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Lingfield (1m, AW) in January; up and down since that success and could prove vulnerable back sprinting. |
20/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Has won only once since making his British debut in October 2023; has threatened plenty of times but has been very poor in last two races. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back from a break to claim career win number six on the Kempton AW (7f) in March but then disappointed at Yarmouth (off this 3lb higher mark); consistent in the main since sent into handicaps and breaks tend to do him good. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strike-rate of 6-16 so he knows how to win and only 3lb higher than for his half-length reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW); every chance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won four on turf last spring/summer (7f-1m), climbing the weights by more than a stone, before losing his way latterly; resumes 4lb above his highest successful mark, back from seven months off, but this is easier back on the AW (won his nursery here). |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
First and second in two 7f novices at Lingfield the winter before last, but having been off for a year, he's trailed home last in 1m/7f handicaps (tried a hood and blinkers last time); makes turf debut with lots to prove. |
40/1 |
|
12th 7 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
First and second in two 7f novices at Lingfield the winter before last, but having been off for a year he failed to beat a rival on handicap debut there (1m; 40-1) in February; has something to prove. |
