25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1m2f/1m3f wins on the AW; showed little in two runs over hurdles before returning from a break and wind surgery with a fourth of ten at Southwell in January; now back from another break, others are safer. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two-time Flat winner, most recently at Southwell (AW, 1m3f) in April; made a modest start over hurdles when a distant third of five at Hexham (2m; turf debut) just over two weeks ago, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; could improve on that returned to a quicker surface. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner whose most recent success came at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; below his best at Chester last time but drops back into class 6 company with claims. |
10/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
This year's four wins have been in Class 6s but it was very clearcut at Beverley (1m4f, good to form) three weeks ago when the cheekpieces were back on; he's still fairly treated off 4lb higher. |

Victory in this two years ago is one of two course wins; dangerously treated if revived by a return to this venue and he did win on the AW in May. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prescott runner who has shown some improvement with a pair of second-place finishes since wearing headgear, latest at Sandown (1m6f, good); turn looks near. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Better effort switched to handicaps this year when second of five over 1m4f at Lingfield (AW) 11 days ago, worn down only towards the finish; won't need to pull out much more for new headgear (blinkers for cheekpieces) and a longer trip. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-race maiden who has two standout pieces of form, including creditable effort with cheekpieces fitted at Doncaster (1m4f) last time; could go well in the retained headgear. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Failed to beat a rival in three of his four runs including when last of six on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good; first run since gelded) last month; still early days but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f; cheekpieces added. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only had seven races and two since gelded; first try over as far as 1m3f when nosed out at Hamilton (good) two weeks ago; considered. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Fair 1m juvenile maiden; off nine months/gelded before posting a solid fifth of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month, giving the impression he's worth a try over a longer trip; considered. |
