22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in February; wasn't far off that level in next three runs but his form slumped at Lingfield three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for last success but he needs to bounce back on this return to turf. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored off 2lb lower over C&D in February and has remained in good form, most recently when fourth of 15 on turf (8.3f, good) three weeks ago; ought to be on the premises again. |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won on Polytrack at Lingfield (1m) in February and was fair fifth in a Class 5 event at Wolverhampton last month; remains feasibly treated on his best form and his five turf runs include a win over C&D (good) last April; respected on this drop back in grade. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Back on a good mark and went too hard up front when beaten about 3l at Wolverhampton (8.6f; first-time cheekpieces) on latest start; could go well. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Latest effort (1m, turf) suggests this new trip is worth exploring; has shown best form on AW and returns to this sphere off a handy mark with Jack Nicholls taking off a bonus 3lb. |
8/1 |
|
7 (3) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (8.5f; from 3lb lower) in March but has been way short of her best since, including tried in blinkers and a visor on her last two starts at Lingfield (7.5f) and Wolverhampton (8.5f) respectively; no reason to anticipate better reverting to turf; risky. |

20th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ability at a moderate level over 6f-7f on first three starts but below that having raced keenly on the outer on handicap debut over 8.6f last time; likely to do better. |
10/1 |

10th 3 (9) |
24th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well held in three qualifying runs (7f/6f), most recently when fourth of five at Southwell (hood added) on recent return from a break; needs improvement at this new trip on handicap debut. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (3) |
15th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Out the back in a couple of soft-ground 7f runs last October; gelded since; wears a hood on his reappearance/AW debut but his pedigree doesn't point to sprinting being his game. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well handicapped on some of his old Flat form for Phillip Makin but was disappointing during four-race spell over hurdles for an Irish stable this year and has quite a bit to prove on debut for Mike Smith. |
25/1 |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Lost his way on the Flat for Phil Makin; beaten 44l, 38l, and 80l respectively in three runs over hurdles for this trainer; better ground a plus for handicap debut but only of interest if the market speaks favourably. |
12/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
1m2f winner who landed a fourth success for this yard when scoring at Lingfield (1m, AW) in March; step back in the right direction when sixth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and return to this trip could help. |
7/1 |

6th 1 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 4-7 since joining Charlie Clover when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month; has also won over 1m2f on turf; disappointing favourite at Pontefract since but was restless in the stalls; may be worth another chance. |
15/2 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 4-7 for current yard, the wins at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) and on AW, including at Lingfield (1m) on seasonal debut; this improving filly warrants respect. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won four times on AW in the first three months of last year for Gay Kelleway but left that yard under a cloud and hasn't built on encouraging first go for this stable in March; work to do on his return to turf. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Regular slow starter; like The Spotlight Kid, his four wins have come in two lots of two; not beaten all that far in his two runs since leaving Gay Kelleway but more is needed from him. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Showed signs of a revival back from a break when fifth on stable debut at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; was beaten less than 3l in that race and he's now 8lb lower than for his win at Newcastle (7f) last spring; one to keep an eye on. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Got off the mark in a classified at Thirsk in July over today's distance but found out back in a couple of handicaps over 7f since; back on AW over a mile but has something to prove. |
20/1 |

12 (5) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when making all in a classified event at Thirsk (1m, good to soft) in July but he was never better than midfield in a handicap at Carlisle (7f, good) 43 days ago. |
11/1 |
|
11 (8) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when making all in a 1m classified event at Thirsk four weeks ago (good to soft); return to 7f should be fine but he will need more to follow up in this stronger event. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
In poor form over 1m on AW earlier in the year but his fortunes have taken a turn for the better for new yard, having rivals on the stretch from some way out at Leicester (1m2f, good) and worn down only late under a penalty at Bath last week; looks good for another big run. |
13/8 |

1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt when justifying favouritism in a 1m2f handicap at Leicester (good; cheekpieces added) last week; has a penalty but he hit a personal best with that comfortable success and is still unexposed on turf; key player. |
13/8 |

1st 8 (3) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Struggled initially this year but ran better when third on stable debut at Wolverhampton (AW) last month, possibly just stretched by 1m4f, and was beaten on 1l at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three days ago; respected. |
