28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
On a handy mark again now and his first three runs of this campaign confirmed he retained plenty of enthusiasm; off the boil more recently but he drops in class with Henry Callan booked; one to be interested in. |
9/2 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won twice over C&D (good/soft) last summer; has reached the frame on four of his five 2026 starts but beaten 6l when fourth at York latest and the return to Sandown needs to help him recapture his peak form. |
9/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done well with cheekpieces, winning twice at 1m2f at Sandown (good/soft) last summer; started 2026 with three creditable in-frame efforts (including good to firm) but needs to shrug off a lesser effort over C&D four weeks ago. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Broke duck at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in May 2025 and some good efforts in defeat followed later in the year; however, it's been a slow process recapturing form for new yard and was well held when second of five back at Yarmouth recently; no good thing to take advantage of a tempting mark. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of last year's form for Alice Haynes that includes a fast-ground C&D win but has not been competitive on any of four starts for new stable this season (cheekpieces refitted last time); considered only if lively in the betting. |
20/1 |

Off a reduced mark he was only 2.5l away in the first-time tongue-tie at Leicester (1m4f) and he does stay this far; respected. |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Maiden whose best efforts have come at Wolverhampton and who's tried in a first-time tongue-tie off the back of two poor runs on turf; this is easier but has something to prove currently. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Promising debut on turf last August but he ran poorly on Tapeta next time and in two handicaps for previous trainer; showed more when a staying-on fourth of 12 at Windsor (1m) 15 days ago on yard debut and has a good run in him despite the unfavourable terms. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (11) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made a promising debut last August (7.6f, good to soft) but that remains his standout effort and he has finished down the field in two handicap runs this summer; sold out of Michael Bell's yard for 1,500gns in July; new yard have made their name reviving stock from elsewhere so he's one to note on his stable debut; hood joins the blinkers today. |
14/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has failed to back up debut effort and a switch to handicap level made no difference last time (1m2f); chance largely depends on whether first-time headgear prompts improvement. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 but he was beaten only a neck when third of seven here over 1m on stable debut last month; below that form when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, good) ten days ago; drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut and needs to bounce back returned to this track. |
7/1 |
|
4 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 but he's dropped down the weights and was a close second on recent stable debut at Brighton (1m, good to firm; 22-1); looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has some novice form at this trip; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
|
8 (5) |
9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Respectable third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, but his form went the wrong way in three subsequent runs for Marco Botti; record is now 0-8 and has plenty to prove for new yard. |

9st 6lb |
0-10; runner-up three times for Brian Meehan (1m-1m2f, including AW) but last of nine at Haydock (1m2f) on sole start for Tony Culhane & Stella Barclay; nice pedigree - cost 250,000euros as a yearling - so this trainer could work her magic; monitor only. |
28/1 |

9th 2 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden who ended last term with two poor shows, with blinkers given a go on final outing; subsequently left Brian Meehan for 15,000gns in October; has a piece of 1m2f form, but below form on his only start on softer than good and non-runner for old yard when the ground was testing. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

0-8 and didn't run very well at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) eight days ago, but placed in his first four handicaps including in both starts over C&D; shortlisted back here with blinkers given a go. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |

8st 6lb |
Didn't show much last year on first three starts and beaten about 8l when fourth of six on recent handicap and seasonal debut here (1m, good to firm); however, he made some late headway in a race that has worked out well and this Ulysses 3yo may improve for today's step up in trip; a possible. |

Half-brother to two winners; finished well held in three runs last year (two here) and has since been gelded; starts handicap life at a lowly level and support back from seven months off would see him enter the equation in a weak-looking race. |
