| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd 4 (1) | 7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 | 9st 6lb | Bounced back from some lesser efforts when making all and scoring comfortably from a subsequent winner at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago; the visor may have helped and although similar tactics may not be so easy in this field, he doesn't have to lead; much respected from 6lb higher. | 2/1F |
| 1st 4 (7) | 18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 | 9st 2lb | Won three times last year (5f/6f, good/good to firm/AW), the third when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; disappointing this season, last time unseating his rider at the start in first-time visor which is retained. | 13/2 |
| 4 (12) | 30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 | 9st 7lb | Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help. | 12/1 |
| 16th 15 (10) | 13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 | 8st 13lb | Three handicap wins during last season's 3yo campaign (6f/5f, including on good/good to firm) and the return of cheekpieces may be a plus; however, he's been unplaced on both runs this year; has to raise his game. | 40/1 |
| 9th 8 (13) | 25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 | 8st 13lb | C&D winner who ended his 2025 campaign with a success and creditable effort over 5f at Newcastle (AW); was as good as ever in those two runs but he was well below form on his reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago; may have needed that run but he needs more progress to defy this mark. | 18/1 |
