A dual winner in 2025 (including here) who also finished runner-up three times in the autumn; yard is going well so he must enter calculations on his return. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
6th 12 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden; bits of form last summer that bring him into the reckoning and he kicks off his 4yo campaign with a tongue tie fitted; betting useful back from 236 days off. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Remains winless but he's proving a reliable sort and comes here on the back of a good fourth of eight in 1m2f handicap at Haydock 24 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and a second from three runs on Tapeta, the second coming when clear with a progressive winner over C&D last August; turned over twice as favourite on turf this spring but holds decent claims once more. |
3/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 (1m2f/1m4f) saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top at Doncaster (1m2f) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today and made a respectable return to action at Doncaster two weeks ago; return to 1m4f should be okay and he's one for the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 13 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top over C&D (good to soft) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today (from 2lb out of the handicap) and makes plenty of appeal if returning in a similar vein for this first start since September. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden; 1m2f may have stretched her on last two starts but connections also now reach for first-time headgear; 10lb lower than on reappearance and a form case can be made. |
10/1 |
|

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent at 7f to about 1m when the ground has been good or quicker; good to soft probably didn't help when upped to 1m2f at Newmarket last month when never in contention so the stamina question remains unresolved. |
7/1 |
|
3 (6) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed form since a promising second on debut last summer, and she faded into third when odds-on for maiden at Ripon (1m, good) 12 days ago; now moves up in distance and she's not sure to stay judged on her pedigree. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Not yet off the mark but he did run well in two 6f turf maidens (soft and good to firm) earlier in his career and the return to this trip may see more from him; this is competitive, though. |
25/1 |
|
9th 4 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden but runner-up on three occasions, including both seasonal debuts; ran well when second over C&D last July too and he needs serious respect back from 176 days off. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 but he's finished runner-up three times, including a close call in a Thirsk handicap (1m, good to firm) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher and he should have more to offer at this trip; respected. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, and he surged back to form when scoring there ten days ago; still lightly raced, in excellent hands, and should be at least as effective over this trip on a stiff track; a danger to all at the foot of the weights. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field over about 1m at Musselburgh and Hamilton on his two starts this season; however, his sole win came over this C&D last August and it's possible the return to Ayr and drop back to 7f will trigger a revival. |
6/1 |

7th 5 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Well handicapped on her best 2yo form but she's finished down the field in four runs this season, including when last of four at Hamilton (1m3f, good) last week; cheekpieces are now added and she needs to raise her game back in trip. |
10/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |

Of interest on her 2yo best but has failed to make a significant impact in handicaps this year, including seventh of nine over the extended 1m here last week; it remains to be seen whether this longer distance helps. |
6/1 |

Ex-Richard Fahey; won a Hamilton maiden on debut last season (6f, good to firm); has been mainly disappointing since, including on both starts for this yard (pulled up over hurdles on first occasion); plenty to prove. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won a 6f maiden at Hamilton on his 2yo debut but he struggled in five further runs for Richard Fahey; 66-1 when pulled up on his hurdle/stable debut at Cartmel three weeks ago; plenty to prove. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Regressed in five races after making a winning debut over 6f for Richard Fahey and was sold on for 2,600gns; by no means an assured stayer over hurdles; tries a hood. |

9st 9lb |
Sole win (from 18 attempts) came back in August 2024 and he was down the field on this month's reappearance at Ayr; however, he may have needed that run and he's on a competitive mark on the pick of last season's form (including here); each-way chance if he's back on song. |

1-16, the win coming on turf in Ireland (1m, good) as a 2yo; made the frame for the sixth time this year when second of eight over C&D six days ago and holds place claims once more. |
