10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful Flat racer who kept on for third over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; well beaten twice since but had excuses last time (heavy ground; finished lame) and will be dangerous here if back on song; cheekpieces left off this time. |
7/2 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two heavy defeats among his three hurdle starts but in between he caught the eye keeping on for third at Wetherby (2m, soft); has potential off opening jumps mark in view of his useful Flat form, and his four wins in that code came in cheekpieces which he wears over hurdles for the first time. |
9/2 |
|
6th 9 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Useful, four-time Flat winner who made eyecatching late headway into third at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month on his second hurdle start, beaten about 6l by Minstrel Knight who now carries a 6lb penalty; open to further improvement in this code and he's one to be interested in. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 4-4 in handicaps (and for this yard) when winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May and he's been a very creditable second on his next two starts, most recently over C&D when behind an exciting prospect from the Gosden yard; has the same mark as last time and could play a leading role. |
5/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Improving 4yo who tasted his first defeat in handicaps (had been 4-4) when unable to reel in the front-running Liberty Coach in Redcar's Zetland Gold Cup (1m2f, good to firm); that was no backward step and the 4lb rise is fair enough; considered. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
26th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Reappeared over C&D this month having been gelded, and in winning he made it 4-4 in handicaps and for this yard (the other wins were also over 1m2f on good to firm; two here); remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies and a modest 3lb rise for last time could underestimate him. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Found plenty for pressure to win by 2l on reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May and kept on for solid third at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) since; those performances, allied with his pedigree, indicate this lightly raced 4yo will be suited by this step up in trip; major player. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
26th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, heavy) last October and reappeared with a well-backed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) this month, finding plenty for pressure and prevailing by 2l; this unexposed 4yo could have more left in the tank and may well take a 7lb rise in his stride. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Hasn't really threatened on his three runs this year but has been in fair form and he won by 4l over C&D (good) last July on his last visit to Ayr; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; could go well. |
5/1 |
|
4 (7) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Consistent last year; hasn't threatened on either outing this season but he kept on for a fair fourth in a warm race at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last time and may benefit from this step back up in trip; unraced on slow ground; cheekpieces go back on, which he wore for his last win; chance. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Disappointed when last in action and remains on a losing streak but competes off new career-low mark here and will be suited by the trip-and-surface combination; hooded for first time; can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Hasn't won for a while but his turn will come and a tactical race didn't suit when third to Spanish Hustle here recently. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
No win since taking a Class 2 at Sandown (1m2f) in July 2023; kicked off 2025 with a pleasing AW effort at Newcastle (runner-up from 4lb higher) but unable to build positively on that since; latest 1m4f Ripon third (Haptics sixth) respectable but the wait for another win may go on. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form when runner-up off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) recently on his second start for this yard; however, he's 5-22 on AW as opposed to 0-11 on Flat turf, and needs to back up that latest performance now back on grass. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has been a smart performer in his time (rated 18lb higher), but well below form in his last two starts including on stable debut here (1m2f) last month; tongue-tie removed after one use; look elsewhere. |
11/1 |
|
11th 7 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Formerly a smart AW performer for Mick Appleby, but not quite the force of old; makes his debut for another new yard (same owners) in a new headgear combination after eight starts for Shark Hanlon; well treated if he could rediscover anything like his best form. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three turf wins at up to about 1m2f (good to soft and soft), most recent in 2024; promising reappearance on AW in February but he hasn't done as well since and there was little in the locker at Hamilton recently. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
It's now 15 starts since his last victory and he was tried in cheekpieces when a below-par seventh in 1m2f handicap at Nottingham last month; needs to take a big step forward. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Suited by drop back to 7f when winning at Newmarket (good to firm) and nearly followed up in 20-runner race at Glorious Goodwood (good); up another 3lb but plenty to like for trainer who won this race in 2020 and 2021. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by the drop back in distance at Newmarket (good to firm) last time, narrowly beating Great Acclaim and taking 7f record to 3-5 (only 1-8 over further); on a career-high mark but interesting kept to this trip. |
11/1 |

1st 3 (4) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Shaped encouragingly at Chester (7.5f) on the return to turf and proved unsuited by 1m2f (raced too freely) later in May; however, now 0-5 in this sphere and peak form remains on AW where he's a three-time scorer. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since and was tailed off at Killarney on hurdles/stable debut; hood worn that day now left off. |
50/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; progressive 3yo on Flat for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since, including in latest two starts for Owen Burrows; purchased for 16,000gns in October and goes hurdling now in new headgear. |
11/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive 3yo who ended that season with an excellent Goodwood win (1m2f, good to firm) in a strong handicap; topsy-turvy this year and never in the hunt on yard debut at Newbury following wind surgery but good to soft ground probably wasn't ideal; worth a good look off favourable mark. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Very lightly raced, ex-French 5yo; up and down among his five British starts last season but ran some big races, including first time up, and he should be capable of winning off his current mark. |
9/1 |
|
13 (11) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-French 4yo who has raced only six times; ran well on first two stable starts (including over 1m here on fast ground) and bounced back from Redcar flop with close second at Newcastle (1m2f, AW), where he may well have won with a clear run; unexposed at the trip and could have a part to play. |
