3rd 3 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both AW wins at Newcastle (1m and 7f) but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in March; has had ups and downs since but he came from well back when fourth of ten to Gunfighter over C&D recently; place chance. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Narrowly repelled Up The Jazz at Ripon (1m, good) but only fifth off this career-high mark (5lb rise) back there a month ago; he's been a bit up and down this season. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
In good heart this season and he returned to winning ways over C&D (good) last Monday; a 5lb rise takes this 5yo to a career-high mark but he has a solid record here and could be firmly in the shake-up once more. |

2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-time winner; yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance in March but ran quite well when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago and switches back to turf on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four AW wins on Polytrack, the latest more than four years ago, and he's likely to need more than a respectable sixth at Newcastle in May, when having a rare run on Tapeta, and also on his Chester form since; headgear returns for the first time since last July. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A two-time scorer (including over C&D) for Michael Appleby last summer; well below par for his present handler this season, however, and he failed to beat a rival in 1m Pontefract handicap last time. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Five AW wins include two on this course (at 6f; has won over 7f) but he's been going through a quieter spell of late; others more likely. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins came over 7f/1m here last year, the latest from 3lb lower; has a bit to prove now back with his former trainer (who owns him) after six months off; market may be revealing. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (3) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Looked in excellent nick when winning twice here in the autumn (7f/1m) but has not been at the same level on his two appearances this month (both 1m) and still needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Has dropped to Class 6 the last twice, showing signs of a revival at Ayr then never figuring at Catterick; current mark reflects a broad decline in his form this year. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Not beaten far into fifth of 13 in a better race at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) eight days ago and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race last year; interesting. |
7/2 |
|
5th 13 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runs; all three wins at 7f, the latest on Newcastle AW last August; probably found the return to 1m was pushing it on Kempton AW 15 days ago but he ran well for a long way and this test will work better for him. |
