26th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Won easily on debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in June 2023 and again impressive when belatedly making it 2-2 in warm Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in December 2024; another absence subsequently and he's up in grade on his comeback, but this 4yo has bundles of potential for his powerful stable. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Third in this race last year off 11lb lower; competitive almost every time last season, ending on a major high with 4l win at Haydock (1m4f, good) in July; however, there have been a couple of blips and last month's poor show in Listed race at Kempton was one of those; needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |

6th 4 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 1f 219y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won twice last year, the latest a handicap at Haydock (1m4f, good) in July; never out of the first two in five completed starts on the AW, but not seen in nine months and there has to be a doubt over the suitability of a sharp 1m2f like this for him now. |
11/2 |

1st 5 (6) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was progressive on AW prior to a blip at Newcastle in April, and he bounced back from that when third at York (1m4f, good to firm) in May; now 8lb better off with York runner-up Stressfree (who won next time) and he could be involved. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
The least exposed in this field, given his four races were all on AW; two were wins and the way he imposed his superiority at Chelmsford (1m2f; 9lb higher today) in June on handicap/seasonal debut suggests he is all set for better still if he proves effective on this surface. |
6/1 |

1st 2 (8) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last December's C&D novice third, under a penalty, reads well enough; that came after a break of nine months and he's been absent for six months since, so it clearly hasn't been plain sailing; interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who scored comfortably at Southwell eight days ago to complete a quickfire 2m double and take form figures for new yard to 411; gives the impression she'll be as effective back at 1m6f; open to further progress and warrants respect under 5lb penalty. |

Low-mileage 4yo filly who opened her account in Newcastle contest four days ago on first attempt over 2m and second start for new yard; respected under 5lb penalty, with further progress plausible. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-7 but she was runner-up at Doncaster over 1m4f on two of her three starts last summer (tailed off on the AW on the other one); returned from 258 days off with a solid effort there over 1m2f in March and has claims on her first start since. |
9/2 |

4th 5 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields over 1m4f here (good/good to firm) last summer, her first two handicaps; absent since finishing tailed off over 2m on AW in July but the first of those runner-up efforts here came off a six-month break so she's evidently capable when fresh; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
11th 1 (9) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields at Doncaster (1m4f) in her two handicaps; showed ability at this track earlier and career began only last September, so better could still be forthcoming; this is 4f further, however. |

Off a reduced mark he was only 2.5l away in the first-time tongue-tie at Leicester (1m4f) and he does stay this far; respected. |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Maiden whose best efforts have come at Wolverhampton and who's tried in a first-time tongue-tie off the back of two poor runs on turf; this is easier but has something to prove currently. |

Started life in bumpers for Victor Dartnall and it was no surprise that he never featured down to 7f at a huge price last time; this is far more realistic back in the tongue-tie and market confidence on his handicap debut should be noted. |

Has been hurdling for this new yard but yet to make an impact in that sphere; runner-up three times for Rae Guest (1m6f/2m, AW) but others hold greater interest on her return to this code. |

Close third in a 1m2f handicap here in February but he's been well held in six subsequent runs and is now 0-11; first-time blinkers are added into the mix. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden; seemingly aided by first-time hood when placed at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) last month but was below that form in Lingfield classified a fortnight ago; others have more persuasive profiles. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Lightly raced 5yo who took a big step forward in first-time tongue-tie when landing a 1m handicap on Kempton AW last April by a head; that win was gained with a late challenge (sole attempt at 1m2f was debut) but he's been absent since, which probably poses the biggest question. |
