| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9th 4 (9) | 8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 | 9st 6lb | Gained a breakthrough victory over C&D last May but ended 2025 with a poor run over C&D and has fared no better in handicaps at Chepstow (7f) and Salisbury (1m) this season; not easy to make a case for. | 9/1 |
| 11th 9 (10) | 14th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 | 9st 4lb | Scored on AW last spring and subsequently ran well over C&D; on good mark if judged on those exploits but ended last season with a below-par effort and was well beaten when returning last month; now has a point to prove. | 18/1 |
| 11th 3 (9) | 21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 | 9st 7lb | Made second handicap start a winning one at Kempton (1m) last May; creditable third on next three starts (including 7f) before failing to fire in cheekpieces (which are quickly discarded) on final 3yo outing; reappears with his stable back in form and high on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane. | 5/1 |
| 8th 7 (1) | 18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 | 9st 7lb | Just got the better of Frostmagic over C&D in April and has been placed in all three starts since, the latest when third of nine at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; a player from the same mark, especially if the cheekpieces eke out a little more improvement. | 13/8 |
