2nd 12 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm in May and June last year; right out of form in August/September but reappearance fourth at Epsom (8.5f) nine days ago was a step back in the right direction; looks bred for 1m2f (has had one attempt) but may need a career best. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm across May and June last year; form tailed off markedly from August onwards but he returns just 2lb above his last winning mark; market support would bring him into the picture. |

Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm earlier in the season, but nowhere near that form in his last two starts; still 4lb above his last winning mark and would also have something to prove on ground softer than good. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
AW form this year features two wins in January and creditable fifth in the Lincoln Trial; only 1-14 on turf and looks unfavourably handicapped, being 4lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |
20/1 |

4th 8 (3) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m Polytrack wins at Chelmsford and Kempton in January; respectable fifth in Class 2 events on last two starts, including over 8.6f here 13 days ago but it remains to be seen whether this step up in trip will suit him. |
7/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unable to land a telling blow when favourite here (6f) this month but was close third off much-reduced mark here two starts ago and ought to be suited by today's return to 7f; tongue-tie removed after one use; it might pay to give him another chance. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way last year after a spring win for Eve Johnson Houghton off 13lb higher; well supported ahead of his C&D comeback in February, when faring much better off this mark, and is one to consider in a first-time tongue-tie for a yard going well of late. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Quite impressive when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton last spring; mixed efforts since but he's been running over an inadequate 5f for this yard, dropping 15lb in the process; might do much better back at 6f. |

27th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
3yo whose profile is very up and down and he was well beaten at York four weeks ago; however, nine days earlier he was a close fourth at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on reappearance and he won a 7f maiden here last July; could be in the shake-up if leaving last time behind. |
12/1 |
|
21th 11 (19) |
31st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lost his form as a 2yo after a 7f AW win in the summer, but there was more encouragement to be gleaned from a close fourth of 11 at Haydock (7f, good to firm; 50-1) on his reappearance last week; if he builds on that he'll have possibilities from an unchanged mark. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 2-2 over C&D in August, off a 2lb lower mark, when again having plenty of use made of him from the same draw as tonight; got upset in the stalls when below par last time and should fare better this time. |
10/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have come at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) this year; 2lb rise for second success last month still leaves him 1lb lower than for the first; one for the shortlist. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win from ten starts came when making all over C&D in March off a mark 3lb higher than today; mostly struggled since but the return to AW could be a positive. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-13 on turf but has performed well in stronger races than this in 2025, perhaps most notably when fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May; slightly disappointing when last in action but can cope with today's drop back to 6f and has slipped to a good mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
3yo who was a creditable fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Sandown when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; could be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 (9) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nursery win (AW) last backend came over 7f and she's run her last three races over that trip, but the drop back may help as she's often inclined to pull hard; capable of better. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 6f (good to soft and good), latterly at Doncaster last July when fending off one who won his next two, the pair clear; winless since but he had some excuses and is weighted to go well at this realistic level. |
8/1 |
|
14 (8) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
C&D win (good) in July; respectable efforts in defeat since but he missed an intended run due to heavy going last October and conditions could be an issue. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won a 6f Chepstow maiden on good to soft last season; fair form this term, winning off 5lb lower at Doncaster in July (6f, good) and creditable fourth over 5.5f at Chester last time (soft); return to 6f will suit; chance. |

9st 2lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came in a novice at Redcar (6f, soft) in October 2024; well beaten in his first starts since returning from a break but he came back to form from a career-low mark when second of 12 at Catterick (5f, good) a week ago; that was his first try over 5f and he's contender. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he was twice placed off a 7lb higher mark last September; two AW runs last month should have sharpened him up and this is a drop in grade; apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb but a wide draw on his first attempt at 5f, and a sharp one at that, dents confidence. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ex-William Haggas; still a maiden but showed a fair level of ability last year, notably when placed in novices at Leicester (7f) and Newmarket (1m), but she was well below her best in a Chelmsford AW handicap on final start (1m2f); sold 30,000gns since; acts on AW but has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed in novice events at up to 1m; well held on only previous handicap start (7f, good to firm) in May; another in this field who has stamina to prove but she's on a workable mark if she gets the trip. |
6/1 |
|
6 (3) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 maiden who doesn't look overly progressive but she had a previous winner one place behind when both were beaten by a Meehan-trained newcomer at Leicester (7f; stays 1m); looks to have been found a golden opportunity to get off the mark. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Underwent wind surgery prior to his Doncaster novice success last July (6f, good); ran well in a 7f handicap at York two weeks later but his form dropped off afterwards; gelded during his absence; dangerous mark but may find others having his measure now back from a break. |
12/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Returned from wind surgery with a 6f novice win at Doncaster in July and subsequently achieved more when a close fourth of 16 in a 7f handicap at York in July; not so tempting on subsequent runs though and offputting he declined a soft-ground race last month. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Eight defeats divided between William Haggas and current yard; does have course experience after finishing second in a C&D handicap last time and shouldn't be far away in this ordinary looking maiden. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not quite matched her maiden/novice form for William Haggas in three handicap runs for new stable; edging down the weights and Warren Fentiman takes off a handy 5lb so she can't be discounted; best RPR came on her only previous AW start (7f, Tapeta). |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-race maiden; well beaten on stable debut in May but shaped well before fading into fifth at Ayr (6f, good) last month and has each-way claims at least here if judged on that performance. |
