2nd 5 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Turf maiden winner who is 0-11 in handicaps but went down by only a neck in Lingfield AW event (6f) on stable/seasonal debut and is worth keeping in mind despite posting a lesser effort since. |
5/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 5f scorer for Richard Fahey; made a promising start for Robert Cowell after four months off when second of 12 in 6f Lingfield handicap four weeks ago; up 3lb but he must enter calculations. |
5/1 |

2nd 8 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
2yo Listed runner-up in September 2024 for Richard Fahey; 0-9 last year but has a dangerous mark to work with on his first start for a new trainer, who can do well with recruits from other yards (remains in the same ownership); interesting, all the more so if attracting market support. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-14 since debut win in May 2024 but he often ran well in some quality handicaps last season; returns on a competitive mark having had wind surgery; could have a part to play if fully tuned up. |
12/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Placed four times for current stable and last two efforts can be forgiven (raced in the most disadvantaged group in Ayr Gold Cup latest); record of 0-12 since debut win is the downside. |
14/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Not added to his debut win but he has been placed on four occasions this season; got messed about early when down the field at York four weeks ago; cheekpieces now tried; stable looks to have stronger claims elsewhere. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Goes well at Newmarket; third to Double Rush at last season's Craven meeting (2lb better off today) before an impressive win in the 3yo handicap on this card; another promising run on his reappearance 17 days ago when finishing third, just over 5l behind Double Rush; has bigger days ahead of him but he may be battling for another minor placing. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Ran respectably in AW Listed event when last seen; two attempts over C&D comprise a good third to Double Rush at this meeting 12 months ago and a ready success on 2,000 Guineas day (good); solid chance. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; won off 1lb higher at Goodwood (1m) last July but has mixed record since and was beaten 11l in the Spring Mile on his reappearance in March; this is a big drop back in grade but he's now 1-11 in handicaps and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |

11th 4 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Not disgraced (fifth of 14) in sole Doncaster attempt and current mark is workable; however, may be more interesting when back at Goodwood with this reappearance under his belt, having gained both wins there. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f, winning four times for previous yard; 2-5 on grass; mixed results on AW for new stable; ran respectably in sole 7f attempt but chance of landing this hot handicap partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Met all sorts of trouble when down the field behind Berkshire Whisper here 12 months ago; beaten in races won by reopposing rivals in all three starts for his new stable this winter; edging down the weights and has a good apprentice booked but others still appeal more. |
25/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Quite a progressive sprinter on turf/AW, winning three times; suffered bad luck at Newcastle on Good Friday, then ran creditably to finish third at Newmarket (6f, good) last month; on same mark on this drop back in grade and he's respected. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won the big-field 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last June and landed another quality handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in July; she lacks a recent run and there is a suspicion that 6f is her optimum trip, but she'll get a strong pace to aim at today and is not ruled out off a competitive mark. |
25/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Well below par in Listed races the last twice but only 1lb higher than when winning a valuable AW handicap in July (three starts back), and 4lb above the mark she defied in the 3YO Dash in June; couldn't put a line through her. |
7/2 |
|
8th 12 (7) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Behind two of these when fifth in Listed race at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) latest but she's better than that, as evidenced by her handicap wins in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) in June and at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in July; has run well on good to soft (unraced on softer); not ruled out. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Previously effective on turf but form dipped returned to this sphere last time and he still hasn't scored on grass since his 2yo days; admittedly on a workable mark provided he rebounds. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Spectacular late run to land valuable auction race (6f, good to soft) in October 2024 is starting to fade from the memory but he won his first race since when taking a Wolverhampton handicap in November; narrow defeat at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in February was up with his best form and respectable efforts on last two starts; not dismissed back on turf. |
7/1 |
|
5th 10 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Three turf wins and one on Tapeta (unraced here); posted career-best RPR when going down narrowly on Newcastle reappearance and got little luck in running when under 3l away at Wolverhampton; unraced beyond 7f but he gives the impression that this far could suit. |

9st 7lb |
Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help. |
25/1 |
|
16th 15 (10) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Three handicap wins during last season's 3yo campaign (6f/5f, including on good/good to firm) and the return of cheekpieces may be a plus; however, he's been unplaced on both runs this year; has to raise his game. |
25/1 |

9th 8 (13) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner who ended his 2025 campaign with a success and creditable effort over 5f at Newcastle (AW); was as good as ever in those two runs but he was well below form on his reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago; may have needed that run but he needs more progress to defy this mark. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW starts this year and he had been given a wind op before weakening on his return to turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; nothing wrong with this mark and he drops in grade but the jury's out at the moment. |
16/1 |

7th 10 (1) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW runs this year but he has had a wind op since last seen; unplaced in four turf runs but the defeats have been in good races and he has shown promise on grass; well drawn and his 7lb lower turf mark heightens interest. |
8/1 |

10th 2 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Below best on both runs this year but failed to settle at Kempton last time, when a wide draw also didn't help; twice went close at Kempton (6f) towards the end of last year and this C&D winner is not written off. |

Wildly inconsistent filly who's finished well held a few times since springing a 33-1 shock over C&D in March; it seems the positive early impact of the visor may have worn off. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Sprung a 33-1 surprise at Southwell last month (5f) but that has been followed by two disappointing runs; best turf form on good ground; others appeal more for win purposes. |

Yet to win a handicap but he went close at Nottingham last October and again finishing second on last month's reappearance at Lingfield (6f, AW); this is more competitive but he isn't fully exposed. |

|
2nd 5 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has gone well fresh, having run well in sole 2yo start and a wide-margin winner on Wolverhampton AW (6f; made all) on reappearance last year; put up a bold show against the older horses in a competitive 6f race at Nottingham in October and looks a likely type for this race. |

8st 9lb |
Made all at Ripon (6f, good) on last year's reappearance and ran well in defeat on next four starts (including over C&D) prior to two lesser runs to finish his campaign; returned to form with very close third of 16 in same Ripon race last month and this front-runner is an each-way contender. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (14) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; C&D winner on his seasonal return on this card 12 months ago; often ran well in good handicaps afterwards and although he ended 2025 with a couple of lesser efforts, he is likely to be seen to much better effect this time; should make a bold bid up the stands' rail. |
