9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Gained his final win for previous yard and sole placed effort for current stable over 7f; overall record at this trip is 2-5; gelded prior to never landing a blow in another 6f event on seasonal debut; could go well, with this step back up in distance a plausible plus. |

Gained his final win for previous yard and sole placed effort for current stable over 7f; beaten favourite in Italian Listed race over 6f when last seen; gelded since; may ideally need a step back up in trip. |

Record of 2-4 over 7f includes a York success in June on final start for previous yard; still unexposed at this distance and now returns to it for first time since joining new connections; interesting. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Enhanced his fine Chester record when a length winner there in late August (extended 7f; good to firm; acts on soft); the 4lb rise elevates him to a career-high mark which could be troublesome in this deep a handicap. |

Won over 7f here (good to soft) last August and runner-up in good 7f handicaps elsewhere on his last two starts (good to firm/good to soft); should be fine at today's distance and every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

9st 7lb |
Ayr Bronze Cup winner in 2024 who also posted some good efforts without winning in 2025; beat one on his return in 7f Haydock handicap after nine months off but he should strip sharper now. |
10/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Ayr Bronze Cup in fine style (6f, good); 0-5 in 2025 but looked to retain all his ability; conditions won't be an issue and he has run well first time out in each of his seasons of racing; chance. |
7/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won the Ayr Bronze Cup last September and has run well in defeat on all four starts this season, most recently third of 13 at York (7f, good to firm); there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |

Won a 6f Ripon maiden last June and stays 7f; 0-13 in handicaps, however, and others present stronger cases despite his career-low mark. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a C&D maiden (good) last June on his second start for Tim Easterby; returned after a lengthy absence with a creditable fifth here (6f, good to soft) last month and ran another solid race at Pontefract last time; still looks on a workable mark and he shouldn't be far away. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Ripon maiden win (6f, good) last June on his second start for Tim Easterby; shaped nicely on his return from ten months off back at Ripon two weeks ago, poorly positioned but running the fastest final 2f split to snatch a never-dangerous fifth; should be sharper today and he's interesting off the same mark. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All British wins have been over 1m at York and he's unraced on the AW; some respectable shows in better handicaps this year but not the last twice; bit risky. |
10/1 |
|
5 (6) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three wins in Britain have all come over 1m at York but he is fully effective at other tracks and he wasn't beaten far in his one Sandown run back in June 2022 (1m, good to firm); rain won't bother him and he's slipped to a dangerous mark but he will need a good pace to aim at back at 7f; stable have won the last two runnings. |
7/1 |

17th 14 (1) |
21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Scored just once in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 but on the last three occasions it was over 1m in the summer at York and in 2022 it was in this race; 14th and 13th in the last two runnings of it, with reappearance the pick of his mixed record this season, but he's much too well handicapped to be ignored. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ready winner of a C&D handicap last summer off a 12lb lower mark; better than ever when a close fourth in a Wolverhampton Listed race in March and he faced a stiff task at Haydock three weeks ago; should give his running but could find one or two stronger back in handicap company. |

4th 8 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |

5-19; creditable fourth in Listed races last two starts, not beaten far at Wolverhampton (7f) on latest; should give his running again but quite a few of these have more obvious claims on the figures. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Steadily progressive 5yo, including two 7f handicap wins last year; took form to a higher level when fourth of 15 in a Listed race at Deauville (7.5f) in December, never far away in a race where the pace held up; should have another big run in him. |

Well suited by slow ground; attractively handicapped and his last two runs have both been promising, meeting trouble before finishing off strongly at Newcastle last month; high on the list. |
4/1 |

4th 9 (10) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

1lb lower than for his Doncaster win 12 months ago (7f, soft); several creditable runs in handicaps this season but he will need to pull out a bit more if he's to come out on top. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Not troubled the judge this season but hasn't been running badly, last time behind Native Warrior on the AW in late June; a triple winner on ground softer than good so connections have no doubt been waiting for some rain; worth considering. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Tough mare who won two handicaps around this time last year, scoring at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and following up at Goodwood (7f, good) 18 days later; registered plenty of other good efforts last term and was back on the scoresheet with narrow win at Yarmouth (7f, good) 11 days ago; something to find on the figures but she's the type to make her presence felt. |

9st 11lb |

14th 1 (13) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Progressed last term; pick of her efforts came when fourth in AW Group 3 (6f) in June and when beating all bar Royal Velvet in July course handicap (7f, good to firm) the following month; will need to be near her best to make a winning seasonal debut but was beaten only a nose on last year's return. |

Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has developed into a useful 7f handicapper, including a Musselburgh win (good) in May; hasn't managed to reproduce that in three outings since but this is a bit easier than the Bunbury Cup he contested last time and Warren Fentiman takes 5lb off; not discounted. |

5th 12 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Winless since August 2024 but he's hinted at promise of late, set plenty to do (also slipped on bend) when seventh of 12 in 7f Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs considering off a falling mark. |

7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Hasn't won for nearly two years but he's well handicapped now and he shaped much better than the result suggests when seventh of ten at Haydock (7f, good; badly hampered over 1f out) last Saturday; should go close if getting the rub of the green this time. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He should be winning races off this mark and his down-the-field effort at Doncaster six weeks ago isn't the race to judge him on; better can be expected back up at 7f. |
