18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Failed to beat a horse home in three starts last year; gelded since and has been a completely different proposition since returning this month, winning two classified events at Yarmouth (1m/1m2f, soft) and one at Wolverhampton AW on Tuesday night; looks open to more progress and he has leading claims. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to make the frame in turf races; placed in a couple of 8.5f classified contests at Wolverhampton since switched to AW, splitting subsequent winners on the first occasion; solid-looking claims. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Back to form when chasing home a rival miles ahead of his mark over C&D three weeks ago; still has low mileage; considered. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (12) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Yet to get involved after six starts and looked to find 1m stretching her stamina in two runs in the spring; wide stall won't help and she needs to improve for the switch to the AW. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner over 7f/8.6f and suggested he needed a return to a stiffer test when fifth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) six days ago; respected. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (10) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Caught late after hanging left in a C&D classified event two starts ago before gaining his fifth AW success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise still leaves him fairly treated on old form and he has to be respected. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
He's gone very close in an AW handicap (in March) and should be okay on this slow ground as a son of Mayson; considered. |
13/2 |
|
4th 11 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Nothing wrong with his C&D handicap second in March and his subsequent third here at a short price is best overlooked; open to a bit of improvement still and is one of those best placed to take advantage should Rockafeller Skank not fire. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner (8.4f/1m) in this grade at start of this year; ran as though something was amiss when back on turf last month but has possibilities if back on song. |
11/1 |
|
11th 11 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Both turf wins have been at 1m on good to firm; has won twice in blinkers on AW this year; although not in top form last twice, these conditions are ideal and could go well on this return to turf. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice at this level earlier in the year, including C&D; finished behind Gloriola when fifth over C&D three weeks ago; should give a good account. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-10 but has run well lately as when third of ten in a 0-55 handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last time; this trip may be as far as he wants, but he holds each-way claims nonetheless. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
In the frame three times since leaving maiden and novice company, including in 1m4f classified on Lingfield AW recently; this slightly shorter trip could help back on Tapeta but more needed; cheekpieces refitted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 14 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden; second in Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f) on seasonal debut in April and put two lesser efforts behind him when sixth there (8.6f) last month but needs to find something extra over this new trip; wore blinkers or cheekpieces for last five races but goes without headgear today. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner at Wolverhampton (7f/9.5f), the latest in March; made some late gains to be beaten 2l in seventh here over 1m2f last month but he isn't guaranteed to be suited by this step up to 1m4f. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (13) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner on the Wolverhampton Tapeta, the latest (9.5f) in March; modest effort in a 0-50 classfied event there (8.6f) eight weeks ago and has a wide draw to overcome; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course regular who's proved very consistent since the hood went back on; usually held up and wants a good test over this trip but he is more likely than most at this level to give his running, dropping back down from 0-60 company; each-way claims. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual C&D scorer for Daniel Steele; off two months, made a promising start for new yard with third of 13 in 1m2f classified event here 16 days ago, fading only late on having taken strong hold; big shout dropped back to optimum trip now. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 11 (7) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has form over this sort of trip in the past but mainly campaigned at shorter in recent times; not at his best on final two runs for Daniel Steele but he starts out for the Moores (same owners) in a weak race and he has the raw ability to play a starring role. |
7/2 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard-puller who ran below par in first-time cheekpieces (off tonight) last time; previously consistent at this sort of level but will need to settle better back up in trip after a six-week break. |

Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |

11th 4 (9) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |
