27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to finish out of the frame and his last win was achieved here; stall 14 might not be terminal over this trip but the handicapper may now have his measure. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 11 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins on AW but very good third (Valedictory second) of 14 to Rathgar (won again since) on 1m2f Newbury reappearance proves he's equally as effective on turf; stays 1m4f and likely to be in the shake-up again if in similar form. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were on AW and his turf form is not quite as good, but he's basically highly reliable and it would be no surprise if he's seriously involved for yard which won this race last year. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have been at Chelmsford AW (1m2f) last spring; progression has stalled this year but handicap mark has reflected that and he finished third of eight at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) two weeks ago; his turn is near but not sure drop back to 1m will be in his favour. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Went back-to-back over 1m2f on Chelmsford's AW around this time last year; winless since and latest eighth of ten at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft) didn't suggest he's about to capitalise on a declining mark; a handicapping case can be made, though. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Southwell (1m; 16-1) in February and also ran well (third; in first-time cheekpieces) there in April; underwhelming since, particularly on last two starts (both 1m); it's possible that this sharper track could suit. |
15/2 |
|
14 (4) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made all for a winning handicap debut over C&D in February and he bettered that form when a good third of 13 in a competitive race back here in April; fairly middling efforts since but he's dropped in the weights and the return here is a plus. |
8/1 |
|
4 (7) |
3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who made all on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in February; hasn't added to it since, but he has run with credit on occasions and has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than for his win; shortlisted. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Five wins last year (AW/soft) and he improved again to win in good style on his reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; he's 5-9 on AW as opposed to 1-7 on turf but there can be optimism that he is just as good on grass (has shown promise on various ground) and he's firmly in calculations. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up sprinter who won five times in 2025; fifth in a big-field event at the Curragh last September when he had to wait for an age for a gap to appear; appeals as the type to progress again this year and he's high on the list, for all he will need luck in running. |

9st 12lb |
Dual winner over 1m2f on turf (good/good to firm) this year and just 1lb higher than for the latest; shaped quite well in both previous goes on the AW; shortlisted back down in grade. |
6/1 |
|
3 (6) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
1m2f turf wins this May and June, the latter when tongue tied first time (kept since); ran respectably at 1m4f on last two starts (three places behind Crowd Quake at Doncaster on latest) but return to 1m2f may suit. |
11/2 |
|
5th 11 (8) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
1m2f turf winner this May and June, the latter when tongue tied first time (kept since); creditable third of six when trying 1m4f on Lingfield AW on latest outing, but a previous attempt at 1m4f on turf was not so good; unraced on softer than good; others look a bit more solid. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't progress as may have been expected following a 1m win at Southwell last March; dropped away to finish eighth of the nine runners on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m); enough to prove for now. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last March and runner-up at Ayr in September on final run for Kevin Ryan; sold for 10,000GBP in October; lacks a recent outing but is not ruled out on his stable debut. |
12/1 |

8 (9) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Down the field on his last four starts but those have been over 1m2f-1m4f and this 3yo is back down to the same mark as for his win at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; not written off now back down in distance. |

9st 10lb |
Got off the mark at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; showed the benefit of wind surgery when showing improved form when beaten a head by an unexposed sort at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; looks sure to go close. |
11/4 |
|
9 (5) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Infrequent winner but he is effective on Tapeta and has undergone wind surgery since his latest start; not ruled out. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Only one win (14 races) but that 1m handicap in June was at this track; ran respectably next time and rallied into a close fourth of five for slowly run race on latest; needs to find extra but his tongue-tie (worn two and three starts back) is restored and new trip now looks worth a go. |

Both wins at Redcar, the latest a 7f handicap in May off 3lb lower; he has finished last in his two runs since and connections now turn to a visor (wore cheekpieces to no avail once in April). |

8th 7 (1) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Made it 2-2 on this track when winning over 7f (good to firm) in May; never involved at Catterick last week and now needs to prove himself at 1m, one previous defeat at the trip coming after a winter break. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Wetherby juvenile winner for Sam England last October (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); some fair form since, and an interesting contender after his 2l-third to Spartan Times (who is now 4lb worse off) in a C&D handicap two weeks ago. |

Sole success came over C&D from 4lb higher last August when trained by Stella Barclay, but regressive in the meantime including in three starts since returning for this yard last month; best watched. |
