23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Needed a drop to Class 6 to open his account in Catterick event (1m4f, good) last time; back up in grade but may build on that win and also have more to offer in the retained cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who returned from wind surgery to finish a respectable fifth on AW Flat and backed that up when 15l second in a 2m maiden hurdle at Southwell (soft) last month; a lesser effort in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby three weeks ago needs forgiving but he dips into a Class 6 for the first time now back on the Flat and has the ability to make his mark at this level; cheekpieces rejoin the tongue-tie. |
4/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Fair maiden on the Flat and he ran okay when 15l second in a maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; now goes handicapping in this code off a modest mark and he could have a part to play. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
6lb below his last winning mark but recent form has been patchy, his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month surrounded by lesser efforts at the same track; 1-18 on AW; others more compelling. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won over 1m on soft and heavy ground last year and best run this campaign was four weeks ago when fourth at Nottingham (good to soft); interesting with conditions in his favour and off a good mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine wins to his name, including C&D, and just 1lb higher than for March's narrow Kempton success (1m3f); two creditable efforts have followed but he could use the ground drying out if he is to add to his tally. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ridden by Rossa Ryan (now on Kurios Lady) on last two starts, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f); they were on AW and he ran only once on turf last year, when a respectable third off this mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) last July but he needs better than that. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
No wins in nine but he's admirably consistent and again hit the frame over a bit further here a month ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims once more. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been beaten as favourite in four of his five handicaps but he found improvement when a close third over C&D last month; up 3lb but that latest run was a Racing League event and he pulled 4l clear of the fourth; key player. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
4yo who is 0-7 and has been a beaten favourite in all four handicaps; however, he's still run good races and may take a step forward at some point. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Tapeta win last summer came off this mark and the booking of Rossa Ryan is a positive as he returns to the AW after three ordinary efforts on turf; not always looked straightforward and interesting to see whether support comes this time. |
12/1 |
|
9th 1 (8) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 1m winner on turf (good) and AW; shaped quite well on the AW on his first two starts this year but blew his chance at the start when down the field at Thirsk next time and could only finish midfield at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 25 days ago; drops in grade. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual 1m winner (good turf/AW); shaped quite well on AW first two starts this year but blotted his copybook when losing many lengths at the start back on turf at Thirsk last week; more than capable off this mark but not one for maximum faith after that. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Patchy form of late, his easy win at Haydock (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in July flanked by modest efforts on the AW (has run well on Tapeta); not sure what to expect. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt with a convincing success at Haydock (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in July; up 7lb and will need to show he can also do it back on the AW, but something may have clicked; shortlisted. |
15/8 |
|
6 (6) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent maiden (1m-1m6f) who has the hood refitted, also going in a first-time tongue-tie, having again pulled hard last time; this mark should be within range if settling but therein lies the gamble. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level. |
8/1 |
|
2 (8) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unraced here; goes particularly well at Pontefract where he just failed to catch Star Start over 1m2f last time; stays this far and should be on the scene. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Seven-race maiden (including two bumpers) who was well beaten after racing too freely on first two starts for new stable (1m2f/1m4f); eased in grade today and should handle the ground but still has a lot to prove. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (9) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed in a bumper and twice over 1m4f for the Quinn yard but still sold on for 900gns and made a forgettable stable debut at Haydock (1m2f handicap, good). |
33/1 |

8 (10) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Absent since two below-par turf runs in September but an emphatic winner when fresh last April and begins her new campaign from a workable mark; placed on only AW start (in Tapeta in 2024); no surprise if she features. |
8/1 |
|
6 (6) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Quickened clear to score by over 3l on seasonal debut at Leicester (1m2f, good) in April; yet to build on that performance in four subsequent starts and it was a modest effort when beating one home at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Quickened clear to score by over 3l on seasonal debut at Leicester (1m2f, good) in April; yet to build on that performance after three subsequent starts but was denied a clear run when fourth at Haydock (1m2f, good) six weeks ago and this race looks easier. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful in his younger days and has found his level again for Ian Williams latterly, albeit he's been expensive to follow; two wins and a close third from four runs round here and remains consistent, so enters calculations for his new yard after three months off. |

3rd 5 (3) |

Can lead; creditable effort on second start for yard when runner-up at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June but he's had problems at the stalls otherwise this year and refused to enter them in July; capable but risky. |
