9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent this season but caught wide when fifth at Chester last time and prior to that he was an easy winner over this C&D (good to firm); both wins have come at this venue and he's not ruled out. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-running tactics in the new blinkers didn't work two runs ago but he had cover before coming home 7l clear at Leicester 11 days ago (1m4f, good to firm); up 7lb but clear claims should he deliver something similar. |

Gained sole win here last June and beaten a neck over C&D late last month; front-running with first-time blinkers (retained today) at Carlisle five days ago did not work out but he needs a second look on return to Leicester. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Held up; hat-trick last summer and twice runner-up from five starts this term, short-headed off this mark under Owen Lewis at Ffos Las (1m4f; 33-1) on latest; although not that consistent himself, he looks a lot more solid than most of today's rivals, not least because he's won three times here. |

2nd 2 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who's odds-on to blow the start; landed a hat-trick last summer over about this trip on good to firm ground, latterly off a 1lb higher mark, but not as consistent this time round; needs more. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Bagged a hat-trick last summer, including his second C&D win; back to his last winning mark and second at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) suggested on penultimate start that he is almost as good as ever; big shout. |

Runner-up on stable debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in February but unable to get competitive since; latest start was a rare turf race and (poor form in this sphere) and overall score is 1-19. |

Runner-up on stable debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in February but unable to get competitive since and needs something extra today. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Regressive gelding who's lacked consistency of late, including in two forms of headgear; having a first crack at beyond 1m4f and needs to improve for the stiffer test. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last October and has been placed four times this year; may have found the drop back in trip against him when fifth of six at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers but he may find this trip on the sharp side. |
5/1 |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win from 14 races; three seconds from five starts this year, beaten a head at Newmarket (2m, good to firm; made most) 18 days ago in first-time cheekpieces; they are now replaced by blinkers; last time he raced over shorter than 1m6f was in June 2025 but this isn't a strong race; good chance. |
5/4 |

2nd 4 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran away with a Southwell handicap (1m6f, AW) last October; second twice there (2m/1m6f) this April and he wasn't beaten far when making the running on good to firm at Yarmouth (1m6f) eight days ago, albeit coming last in a three-runner race; chance if he takes to the first-time headgear. |

Nine wins over the years, including two early last summer, but he's been going the wrong way this term; admittedly badly hampered on latest outing; 6lb below his last winning mark. |
