13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Awarded this race last year when also ridden by Becky Smith, and 6lb lower this time around; can't be totally written off but he's gone the wrong way over the last 12 months and was well beaten at 100-1 here last month. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Promoted to first in 1m4f handicap here (good to firm) last June and he races off 2lb lower today; however, he wasn't at his best last year on his final few runs for Edward Bethell, and failed to threaten over hurdles in the winter on his first two starts for this yard; may be best watched. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase last November but pulled up in his final chase and has finished last in two subsequent Flat starts; capable hurdler but hardly returns to this discipline at the top of his game. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |

Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last November; finished a long way behind Sea Of Kings at Doncaster on his return to the Flat four weeks ago; others appeal more. |

Ended his time with Adrian Keatley below par last autumn but a winner over fences at Southwell for his new yard before being pulled up at Market Rasen in December; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |

Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in January but his more recent form is far less encouraging, last of nine at Chester (2m) last time; others are preferred. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |

Six-time AW winner, most recently off today's mark in January; struggled when back on turf this month, though, and ground slower than good will be a serious worry here. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Just 1lb above his last winning mark, but is 6-31 on the AW and 0-18 on turf, including six starts over hurdles; others more solid. |

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. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 77y |
12st 0lb |
Won a heavy-ground 1m maiden at Leopardstown in 2023 for Aidan O'Brien; failed to add to his tally for Archie Watson and three maiden hurdle runs since December poor; hard to make a case for entering handicaps but market worth a look. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won Haydock maiden (11.6f, good to firm) last June on third start and fair third of six in Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) next time; returned from absence with respectable fifth at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month, when the steady pace was against him; retains potential and not discounted. |
8/1 |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Strong late bid to justify odds of 4-9 in a maiden at Haydock (11.5f, good to firm) last June; that was in between two good efforts, albeit wandering when third of six on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f, good) in July latest; gelded this March; after just four races, may have more to offer. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored three times, including over C&D, in 2024; has built up a long losing sequence since but is an in-form contender, half-length second when favourite at Carlisle most recently; on an attractive mark and Jake Dickson takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities. |

2nd 3 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Not beaten far on his last three starts and it was a solid fifth of 14 in the 1m Carlisle Bell (first-time blinkers, retained) ten days ago; handicapped to be competitive again. |

All three wins came in 2024 over 1m2f (good/good to firm) but he was runner-up three times last season; fair effort at York last time and now has first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces now trying 1m for the first time since his debut. |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Completed a double over C&D (good to firm) in April but she's finished out the back at Kempton and York since; now drops back in grade but has bit to prove again and she's still 3lb higher than for last success; visor is removed and blinkers return. |
6/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won in second-time blinkers at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April and followed up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) five days later; down the field at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last time and there's a headgear switch this afternoon (visor returns; has won in one) but she's not written off. |
20/1 |

11th 2 (1) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Cashed in on a reduced mark at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) last month before following up under a penalty at Windsor five days later; up another 4lb but she overcame trouble for that brave success last time and still looks feasibly treated; highly respected in hat-trick bid. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best. |
14/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won three in a row (1m7f/2m, good-soft) prior to heavy defeat at Windsor a fortnight ago; however, the ground was soft, heavy in places last time which may have been too demanding, and he's not written off today. |
16/1 |

11th 12 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won on the Flat in September and also successful on four of his five hurdle starts since, including on soft ground and in good style at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last time; he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but he's clearly thriving and could go well once more. |

Of his five AW wins, two have come at this track, one over today's distance; respectable third at Chester (2m, good) on his reappearance in May but needs to be at the top of his game here as he is 5lb above his last winning mark. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless in three years and has regressed for this yard; consisent run came to an end when below-par at Kempton a few weeks ago but he won't mind the return to turf off a career-low mark. |

6th 4 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m6f, including here but hasn't won for almost three years; even so, has been placed on five successive occasions and is capable of going close from this mark now back on this surface. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out. |

9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |
