1st 7 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 on turf and his best form (and both wins) has come on AW; below par on AW on last two starts and arrives with something to prove. |
33/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has usually run with credit on AW, including at left-handed Lingfield on penultimate start; something went wrong when he hung badly right at this track (first visit) on latest but he returns just 13 days later, fitted with a tongue-tie and hood both for the first time. |
12/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |

Well suited by AW and although he is yet to win off a mark this high, he has plenty of form that gives him a fighting chance; can step up on last week's return to action and he holds each-way claims. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times last year (including C&D on good to soft) and he's just 1lb above his last winning mark; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game this season and first-time cheekpieces need to prompt something extra. |
20/1 |

15 (3) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in second half of last year (7f-8.6f, good to soft/AW); his progress has stalled this season, with two mid-division finishes (1m, AW), but his Newmarket trainer is 3-15 here and he may yet be capable of better. |
10/1 |
|
9 (1) |
1st Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Emerged from midfield to win with a bit in hand at Southwell (1m) in October; only 4lb higher and his midfield finish at Kempton was after 206 days away; still appeals as a horse who could have more to offer. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for Ed Walker last season and positives can be drawn from the fact that one was on his seasonal return and the other was over C&D (good ground); returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark and a promising claimer is booked; contender. |
7/2 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Successful on soft ground in Ireland; has notched two handicap wins since joining Ed Walker (including under today's rider Oisin Murphy) but he needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Goodwood last time; same trainer/jockey won this last year. |
11/1 |
|
7th 9 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Seems versatile as regards surface; won a shade comfortably at Haydock (7f) most recently, taking form figures for current stable to 1921; may be capable of further progress, with return to 1m no issue; big player. |

Versatile and consistent handicapper who landed the 2025 Cesarewitch (2m2f) in most recent turf attempt and has been placed in all AW starts (1m2f-2m) this year; however, faces a very difficult task at the weights upped in class. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still to add to his 7f maiden win for Charles Hills in October 2024 but he has been banging at the door this year, placed on his last four starts (1m2f-1m4f); goes into unknown territory in terms of stamina and he's by Blue Point so there has to be a question mark. |

2nd 1 (4) |

3rd 6 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Turf maiden winner who scored in fine style in a handicap at Newcastle (7f, AW) last October; on that evidence this 7lb higher mark isn't necessarily beyond him, but he needs to improve upon what he produced on his last two outings in November and December. |
16/1 |
|
3 (10) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two wins this year, the latest at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month, while he ran better than it looked when fifth of 11 back there 19 days later (wide trip); runner-up in both starts over this distance on Tapeta elsewhere and should go well. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; 5lb lower than for his last success; ran a solid race on this month's return to turf at Windsor; one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 1m handicaps at Chepstow and Sandown last summer; failed to fire on the AW over the winter but yard is going well so he could bounce back returned to turf after a break. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Course winner (8.6f) who has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark, but his four efforts since returning to the AW in Sepember leave plenty to be desired. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Nine wins at this course (7f-1m4f), including three this year; remains in top form, having finished runner-up here on his last two starts; must be strongly considered on his favoured track. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Took this in 2025 and he comes here better than ever, bagging a third course win of 2026 in February; posted a very good second in another 7f handicap here last time so rates a big player off an unchanged mark. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Better than ever since dropped back to 7f, determinedly adding a third win from four C&D starts three weeks ago; this class didn't look beyond him when 1l third here before that, just behind stablemate Legal Reform; some wriggle room judged on peak RPRs even off a new career-high mark. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Disappointing at York last month but progressive otherwise this year, making it four wins for 2025 when scoring at Yarmouth in May; his current mark may not be beyond him if he can bounce back from last time. |
16/1 |
|
7 (17) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five AW wins (at up to 1m) between last October and this March and back on the scoresheet at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) in May (form franked); another good run when third at Goodwood (1m, good) last time, when they went no pace; every chance he'll continue to improve. |

All five wins have been on the AW over further than this, the latest at Wolverhampton in January; below his best in three starts since finishing third there in February and he's 0-15 on turf. |
12/1 |

7th 8 (6) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Five-time AW winner who scored at Wolverhampton (7f) in January but he's been out of sorts on Tapeta in his last two runs; has plenty to prove again and all of his wins have been over longer trips. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His form can be up and down but he bolted up at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month and ran pretty well behind two 3yos when third at Newbury (1m, good) last time; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last May-July (including C&D) and won by 7l at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) recently; inconsistent and a 6lb rise takes him to a career-high mark, but he has to be respected in view of that latest dominance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three 1m wins (one C&D) on turf last May-July and latest was off just 1lb lower than today; pretty up and down since, a slow-starting favourite when well beaten on latest start but his second at Newbury the time before was a reminder that he's well capable of getting seriously involved. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 10 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove. |

8th 9 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Nine career wins but operating below his best for some time; best watched. |
