25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Seven wins this year (1m-1m4f, including on good to soft; unraced on softer) and looked better than ever when close third of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) last time; in the mix if handling the ground. |
15/2 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can make the running; highly progressive 4yo until a lesser result at Ayr on latest outing but being hampered at the start seemed to scupper him; had seven wins May-August and went mighty close at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month; 5lb higher today but he remains one for the shortlist. |
100/30 |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Highly progressive 4yo who made it seven wins from his last nine starts when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month, and he was a close second of 14 off this mark at Doncaster last Thursday (1m4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); reappears before 5lb rise kicks in and holds very solid claims. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Four wins came on turf later in the year and made it 0-16 on the AW when tailed off over 1m6f here five weeks ago; on a career-low mark now but it's hard to find any other positives. |
33/1 |

8th 8 (4) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
0-15 on AW but not beaten far when seventh of 13 on comeback run here (1m3f) 16 days ago; steps back up in trip and down to a career-low mark so not out of this. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is a four-time winner on turf; 0-14 on AW but was a good second at Chelmsford on most recent attempt in this sphere; absent since September. |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
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. |
11/2 |

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. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
A dual winner (1m4f/2m1f) in 2025; off seven months before beating one in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 29 days ago but should strip sharper here. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Two wins last summer came at a lesser level, latterly over 2m1f off 3lb lower, and he wants a good test at this trip; doesn't boast the greatest reappearance record down the years and, like stablemate Saratoga Gold, may need this after seven months off. |
12/1 |
|
17 (8) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
8yo who won two in a row earlier in the year (1m4f/2m1f, good to firm) before keeping on for second at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) in July; not quite at his best when last of five at Southwell a fortnight ago (1m6f, AW) following a break but beaten only about 3l and he could build on that run today. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Kept on for third in recent selling handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good; behind Velvet Vulcan), making the frame in his fourth consecutive Flat race, but career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |
12/1 |
|
8 (6) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-24 on the Flat but he wasn't running badly in this sphere prior to finishing tailed off over hurdles three weeks ago; not ruled out from this career-low mark with Oisin Murphy taking over. |
4/1 |
|
9th 6 |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-24 on the Flat and 0-5 over hurdles; not seen over jumps since 38l defeat in 2m2f handicap here in October and his tendency to race too freely is always a worry. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with victory at Newcastle (1m2f) in September but he's yet to fire this spring, only eighth in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last month; needs to take a big step forward despite a slipping mark. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (8.5f, good) and by 4.75l at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last year; dropped away inside the final furlong at the latter track three weeks ago but may take a step forward from that first start for 189 days. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

An 11-race maiden whose profile is none too compelling and tried cheekpieces last time. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ten defeats include three for her current yard and overall profile is none too compelling; perhaps the cheekpieces can bring her on. |
10/1 |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Poor for Martin Dunne and, having shown a bit more on her debut for this yard last month, ran dismally at Southwell; having her first run on turf and needs to improve a deal for the surface switch. |

Won this race three years ago and added another classified race last July, his last success; essentially disappointing this year. |
14/1 |
|
5 (7) |
16th Jul 2025 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
10yo whose last win came in a classified at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) over a year ago; has struggled since and, while he wasn't beaten far when sixth of seven at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 20 days ago, others are preferred. |
20/1 |
