16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; made all in a small field at Brighton in April when rated 3lb higher; patchy since and has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer; the pick of his form in the first half of the year brings him right into the reckoning but more recent efforts haven't quite been at that level; dropping into a Class 6 will help. |
7/1 |

Yet to encounter ground softer than good; placed at Yarmouth last Sunday; registered his most recent success off this mark over C&D in April; interesting back here. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Promising start to his career and he's tumbled down the weights, but for good reason; makes stable debut following a long absence and a major turnaround is necessary. |

25th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 since debut success and has a dismal record in handicaps; chance depends on whether physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) prompts a turnaround. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
19-race maiden; ran some good races in defeat for this yard last year, including when last seen in October (1m2f, good to soft); withdrawn at the start having got upset in the stalls ahead of this month's intended return (10-1 at the time of withdrawal); others preferred for win purposes. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Might have been a shade unlucky when close second over 1m here last August and he was a respectable third over 1m2f at Redcar (good to soft) when last seen in the autumn; should be competitive if ready to roll after 196 days off |
16/1 |

3rd 6 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Might have been a shade unlucky when close second at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in August and is now 2lb below that mark, but was unable to land a telling blow on next two starts (1m/9.4f) and must up his game on this first attempt at 1m2f. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came in a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in November 2023 when trained by Marco Botti; down the field in all four starts for this stable, including here over 1m last time (first-time blinkers); back up in trip in a switch of headgear. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Ex-Marco Botti 4yo with a strike-rate of 1-18; down the field in three runs for this yard and tries blinkers. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Marco Botti; won a Kempton maiden (1m) in November 2023 and a few fair runs at up to 1m3f after that; well beaten at long odds on turf on both starts for present connections; best watched for now. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

Ended 2024 with a pair of AW wins (1m/8.6f) and he hasn't been beaten far in three starts this year; more to prove on fast turf. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is 2lb lower than for his last win (8.6f here in June) and fully effective over C&D; not solid but couldn't discount with confidence. |
14/1 |

2 (9) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-10 here but scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; campaigned over shorter since March and won again at that venue (8.5f) in June; case to be made now he's back on that winning mark. |
20/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Retains a fair chunk of ability aged nine but all of his 2025 AW form is at Wolverhampton, winning twice; not sure quite what to expect back elsewhere. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All six of his wins have been on turf but he has form on AW; won by a head at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May before a lesser effort on his final start for Richard Fahey; failed to beat a rival on yard debut at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) and the visor now returns. |
12/1 |
