28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Notched four Flat wins last year, including over 1m3f here on good; returned from a break to win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month; only a fair fourth at Aintree since but still respected back on the Flat. |
5/2 |

Fair Flat racer who battled well to win 16-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month, after a break, and is now 2-4 in this sphere; 5lb claimer William Shanahan is enlisted today; high on the list. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Remains a maiden under both codes but running well of late, most recently staying-on third over 1m5f at Leopardstown (good); shortlisted. |

3rd 15 (15) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |
9st 4lb |
Remains a maiden after 22 starts (six over hurdles); fair fourth over hurdles at Bellewstown last month before another respectable run on the Flat at Limerick; an each-way proposition with the champion jockey aboard. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off her basement mark when dropped back to 1m at Chepstow (soft) in June but has not really built on that performance since and was just a respectable fifth behind James Park Woods over C&D last month. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Opened account off basement mark at Chepstow (1m, soft) in June, her 13th start; below that form lately but now back down to her winning mark, and will be suited by today's conditions. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from 35 starts and he finished eighth of nine in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month; remains unexposed over this trip but he's hard to predict and others are more convincing. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (5) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 1-34 but his win was at Ffos Las last summer and he returned from a break with an encouraging fifth here (8.6f classified) last month; should benefit from that run and he could be dangerous back up in trip. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Beat a Catterick specialist by a neck (1m6f, good) in September before ending last season with solid efforts in his final two runs for John Berry; has claims if he can pick where he left off but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and still has something to prove on AW. |
8/1 |

8 (8) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Beat a Catterick specialist by a neck (1m6f, good) before finishing second in another small field at Redcar; thereabouts. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at 14th attempt when beating the in-form course specialist Bollin Neil by a neck at Catterick last week (1m6f, good; pound out of the handicap, tongue-tie on for first time); could go well again. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
In fine form on the AW in 2026, scoring twice over C&D in April; beat one back on turf at Bath last time but no surprise to see him get back on track here. |
9/1 |
|
8th 1 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on turf but returns to this surface after posting form figures of 12211 over 1m4f on the AW; his mark has suffered as a result but he still appeals more than most. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark when a shock winner at Lingfield (1m4f; 40-1) in February but showed that was no fluke when runner-up twice since and went in again over C&D 11 days ago; up 5lb but still on the upgrade. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in his last four starts but he may have needed the run at Bath two weeks ago and he's now back on the same mark as when completing a double at Brighton (1m, soft) in September; has claims if he can recapture that form and any rain would be a bonus. |
10/1 |
|
12th 8 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have come on good to soft/soft ground in September, including over C&D last autumn off 6lb lower; record returning from a break down the years is far from inspiring. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (2) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Back-to-back wins here and at Brighton in September but was 33-1 when well behind Bobby Dassler here recently. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Safely held when 100-1 in this grade at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and has now been unplaced all seven starts; needs first-time hood to make a big difference here. |
66/1 |

6th 12 (4) |
16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Failed to get competitive in four starts for Karen Jewell and it's been the same scenario in two starts for Tony Carroll; steps up in trip and needs to show improvement. |
40/1 |
|
7th 10 (3) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to get competitive in four starts for Karen Jewell and it was a similar story when returning from a 260-day break at Brighton (1m2f; ran freely on stable debut) just over three weeks ago; only signs of market support would offer encouragement. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Still unexposed after only five runs and began this season with two fairly respectable handicap runs this spring (8.6f/1m) but her tendency to race too freely remains a worry (particularly over this new trip). |
8/1 |
|
12 (4) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ran in a hood all three starts last autumn and was inclined to pull hard without it on her comeback; that was a better effort and it gave something to build on, dropped 2lb, on her turf debut. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scarcely managed to beat a rival in three attempts in AW novice/maidens last autumn (all 7f at triple-figure odds); pedigree suggests that this extra yardage could suit and she makes her handicap debut at the lowest level; still unlikely. |
