1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning debut for this yard at Newmarket last July (5f, good to firm) and he is now 3lb lower; patchy record since but he can go well fresh and he has a good C&D run on his record. |
20/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Prominent racer; made a winning stable debut at Newmarket (5f) in July off 2lb higher; fair third at Chelmsford two weeks ago (6f) but more will be needed to come out on top this time. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner on good to firm last year, including over C&D in August off a mark 1lb higher than today's; 0-4 in Bahrain this winter but now returns to Britain on a handy mark having been off for 83 days; could have this run to suit and holds claims. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has gone 3-4 in cheekpieces and was drawn out of contention in the defeat at Goodwood; however, the handicapper is creeping closer and this race demands his best form yet. |
12/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has won two of his last three and was drawn out of contention when beaten at Goodwood; always in a good place before doing it comfortably at Windsor (5f, good to firm); 7lb rise asks a question but he's on top of his game. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Still to find top form this term but he is well handicapped if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |
20/1 |

5th 3 (11) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still to find top form this term but he's attractively handicapped and may prove resurgent with Tom Marquand up for first time; gained last three wins off current mark or thereabouts. |
8/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on this course but some of his best form has come over Sandown's similarly stiff 5f and he's back on the same mark as his latest win there last June (good; a race he'd won 12 months earlier); every chance of being seen to good effect back on turf. |

3rd 3 (6) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in 2024, all over about 5f in first half of the year, but well below her best this season and going the wrong way. |
16/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won six times in 2024 but well below her best this season; continues to slide down the weights but her last couple of efforts were particularly disappointing and she has a much better strike-rate on turf. |

Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year and ran respectably at Nottingham in April, but he's 3lb above his highest winning mark and will need a career best if he's to go in again. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; went close at Nottingham (5f, good) most recently; again receives weight all round and may well remain competitive; has bits of C&D form. |
13/2 |

2nd 10 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Has returned to AW for two starts this year, better effort when runner-up on reappearance; has gained both turf wins at Windsor but is attractively treated off current mark; could go well. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins when trained by Philip McBride, the last of which was in September 2024; sold for 6,000gns to join new yard in February; unseated when rearing at the start on stable debut; first-time cheekpieces go on and he's best watched. |
33/1 |
|
5 (12) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 0-6 on AW and finished down the field at Chelmsford (6f) and Southwell (5f) in final two runs for Charlie McBride; changed hands for 6,000gns and he has something to prove for new yard after 166 days off; blinkers removed. |
16/1 |

3 (2) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Proving expensive to follow of late and his effectiveness on AW is still to be proven; stepping back up to 6f could help though and his rider takes off a handy 5lb. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ultra-reliable operator on AW, running another solid race when second to a class-dropper at Wolverhampton (5f; first time visor) last month; lesser strike-rate on turf but he is fully effective on it and he has been given a real chance by the handicapper, dropped 10lb for his last two turf defeats (in Class 3); should go well. |

Had an inconsistent spell on AW towards the end of 2025; has a better strike-rate on turf and recorded last year's August double off slightly higher marks; possibilities returned to this sphere on reappearance. |
