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. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finally got the job done in Windsor contest (1m, good to firm) last week and did it comfortably, opening his account at the 18th attempt; great chance under a penalty, provided he's in the same form back down in trip; due to go up 4lb in future. |

1st 2 (3) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-17 but he's a consistent sort and posted a solid fourth of 12 in 1m Wetherby handicap 11 days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |
9/2 |

4th 3 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
16-race maiden but regularly placed; down the field at Doncaster on his reappearance four weeks ago but drops in class today and should be sharper. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 7f turf winner last summer who overcame the drop back to 6f at Kempton (AW) in April; disappointing at Yarmouth three weeks later but she's from a yard which is in fine form. |
9/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner who did well to win over 6f at Kempton (AW) 22 days ago as this is probably more her trip; however, the rise in grade off a 6lb higher mark asks questions of her. |

14th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Nine-race maiden who came to grief in early stages of consecutive hurdle races in June/July and was well beaten when back on the Flat 17 days ago (1m2f); drops back in trip and sports new cheekpieces here. |
33/1 |
|
10th 1 (2) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went close on Wolverhampton debut (7f, AW) for Clive Cox last October but disappointing on the Flat since and she's unseated in both hurdle runs this summer; has lots to prove and can only be watched back in this sphere. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to be placed in ten starts at 7f-1m2f on a variety of surfaces, including in headgear the last twice; handicapper is trying to help but he'd only be of interest if getting market attention. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (6) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in first-time cheekpieces on AW this month (1m2f) and has now been unplaced all nine starts; drops back in trip with blinkers tried here; considered only if lively in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (2) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has not finished closer than fifth in his eight starts and he's been beaten 7l or more in last four handicaps (7f-1m2f); mark continues to fall and headgear is now added but he needs a transformation back on AW. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has the odd bit of Flat form but essentially disappointing and he has accomplished little over hurdles the last twice; remains a maiden. |
33/1 |
|
4th 5 |
9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Sole Flat placing came in a 1m3f Class 6 handicap at Windsor in May; now 0-10 in that scene after three modest efforts since June; best watched on hurdling debut. |
40/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Raised his game with a creditable third here (11.4f, good) in May but he's struggled in both runs since and is now 0-9; others preferred. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Epsom winner last August for regular partner Donagh Murphy off a 5lb lower mark; fair comeback over C&D behind Buy The Dip in April (6lb better off today) but didn't build on that back on turf a fortnight ago. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent sort who got off the mark at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August and has made the frame in all five starts since, latest when third of 12 here (1m, AW) last month following six-month break; should strip fitter and be thereabouts. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last season with string of good efforts on turf, including a win at Epsom (8.5f good) and second in higher-grade company at Newmarket (1m, good); not yet proven on AW, though, and his fitness must be taken on trust. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
One of his better efforts at Yarmouth one month ago, when going beyond 1m for the first time, but was probably flattered in a muddling, small-field affair; will want to settle better upped in distance again. |
16/1 |

4th 7 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 21y Class 6 |

12th 10 (9) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

28th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Second on debut and went one better at Redcar (7f, good) last July but she's had two heavy defeats in handicaps (1m/8.6f) since and latest was at Nottingham 19 days ago; still unexposed but she needs a big turnaround at this new trip. |

9th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second on debut and went one better at Redcar (7f, good) last July; however, she needs to put her flop in a Thirsk nursery (1m, good; made most) in September way behind her. |
