Back with yard after a spell in Britain; yet to place in eight starts and no real progression on AW over the winter; just second run on turf here. |

Bought out of Archie Watson's yard for 2,000gns last July and didn't run too badly on yard debut over C&D in December; faded late over 1m here when last seen; still unexposed so don't rule out; poor draw. |

No improvement for the switch to handicaps when a distant fifth at Haydock two weeks ago; new blinkers and the return to AW the straws to clutch at. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent record on AW features two wins; far less solid on turf form (finishing positions read 790) and can be opposed in a competitive affair kept to this sphere. |

11th 5 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Doubled his tally on the AW when winning at Chelmsford (7f; first-time visor) in February and he was a close third there next time; however, below best in both starts on turf, including at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; headgear last five starts but not today. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Consistent AW handicapper who ran creditably last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double (7f); can remain competitive provided the form is transferred back to turf (second attempt). |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from his 13 starts and inconsistent; however, that victory came over 6f at Doncaster last August and he returned to form with a very close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) recently; might not be far away. |

Comes with risk having proved inconsistent since Doncaster win (off 2lb higher) last August; however, attractively weighted and Oisin Murphy is a positive booking. |

10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Spreadeagled the field at Redcar (6f, good to firm; 18-1) in April, but turned over on successive days at Ayr (8-13 favourite) and Nottingham (6-5 favourite) the following week; laboured at Haydock (6f) seven weeks ago, so plenty to prove at present. |
14/1 |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Easily made all on handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on April 21st; disappointing favourite under a penalty on April 28th and 29th and she's now 10lb higher than for her win, but a 23-day break may have helped and if rediscovering the Redcar form she'll have a major shout. |

12-race maiden making his seasonal/stable debut following nine-month absence; down to a career-low mark but probably best watched for now. |
16/1 |

9th 6 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11-race maiden who isn't progressing; has run well over C&D on a couple of occasions this year but he looks opposable on balance. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-race maiden; three good runs from four attempts for his new stable but he will need to pull out extra if he is to break his duck. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
10st 2lb |
Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; going was fast for last month's 5f Bath win on his final start for Richard Hughes; any ease might harm his chance on Irish debut. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 21 starts came at Bath (1m, good) in April; bounced back from a poor effort when runner-up over this C&D last month and shaped as if still in good form at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago, leaving the impression the return to 1m would suit; chance. |
7/2 |
|
5th 12 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Belatedly opened account with clear win at Bath (1m, good) in April, her 18th start, and rebounded from lesser effort when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month; has a tendency to race too freely, so this drop back in trip could be a good move; others have more potential, though. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Heavy defeat last time took her AW record to 0-15; opened her account with comfortable win at Bath (1m) earlier in April and remains unexposed on turf; not ruled out. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Progressed well in 2025 when a four-time winner at 6f/7f; has gone with promise on both starts this spring, suffering a poor run before staying on into fifth of 14 at Goodwood (7f) 15 days ago; can race off a 1lb lower mark here so a bold showing is on the cards. |
3/1 |
|
5th 14 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on soft/heavy; scored four times on turf last term and may resume his progress with creditable AW reappearance under his belt; combined record of 3-4 at Epsom and Brighton bodes well for this first visit to Goodwood, which is quite similar to those tracks; highly respected. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner last year; won again at Southwell in February (6f) but rather out of sorts since; back on his last winning mark. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Game effort to win over C&D in February off 1lb lower; only run since came at Thirsk 12 days ago when easy to back and dropping right away in the race won by Eldeyaar; racecourse evidence suggests he will be much happier now back on AW. |
7/1 |

15th 8 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had the headgear left off when back to winning ways in 6f Southwell handicap 53 days ago; he's yet to show much in a handful of turf runs though, so needs to back it up. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not a straightforward customer but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp success at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 12 days ago; has a penalty but he won off a higher mark at Doncaster last spring and he looks worth another try at this trip; dangerous. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (6) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not a straightforward customer but he has plenty of ability for one operating at this level; back to form with a second of eight over 5f here eight weeks ago; no problem with the sixth furlong and he is more appealing than many. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointed as favourite in a 6f handicap here six weeks ago but he is well handicapped on his 3yo best and he was notably short in the betting prior to being withdrawn at Doncaster last month (bolted to post); headstrong sort but more than capable of playing a role if not overdoing it in the preliminaries. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Good third over 5f at Musselburgh in May but below par over further since, last of five in 6f Redcar handicap latest start; mark is slipping though so could still play a part back at the minimum trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable third (of five) on his handicap debut at Musselburgh in May (5f, good); no progress since but down in the weights and it's too soon to write him off. |
9/1 |
|
5 (11) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-6 but he didn't shape badly in a couple of handicaps (5f/6f) before failing to beat a rival home when tried over 7f at Redcar (good to firm) 40 days ago; the drop back to 6f should suit. |
9/1 |
