10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent and has failed to shine on last two starts but may have been unsuited by soft ground then Tapeta; runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August then fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) where he was denied a clear run, and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big effort. |

Three turf wins to his name; patchy record in 2025 though and others are more appealing in today's field. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Looked unfortunate when beaten less than a length into second of seven at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) since; acts on ground ranging from good to firm to good to soft; still 2lb below last winning mark; a player. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won over C&D off this mark last summer but does most racing now over further and wants a good test at this trip; said to have run flat last time but does have his good and bad days now for a yard responsible for two others; 2-4 for Kaiya Fraser. |
12/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in January and close fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February before winning over this C&D (good) a fortnight ago; it was a tight finish but he's gone up just 2lb; again in calculations. |
9/2 |

1st 7 (4) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
6lb lower than when winning from a poor draw at Chester (7.6f, good to firm) last August and just 1lb higher than when successful at Newcastle (7f, AW) in January; ran well when a close fourth of 12 at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last time and capable of playing a part; stable also runs Kelpie Grey. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Went off the boil towards the end of last season and also below his best on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh, taking his losing sequence to 15; however, this two-time C&D winner may have needed that latest outing and he's well handicapped on last year's best course form; not ruled out. |
4/1 |
|
6th 9 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-14 since winning four of his five starts between October 2023 and May 2024, but is 2-5 around here and very well treated on form as recently as last summer; off five months, but is proven fresh. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |
25/1 |
|
12th 15 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |
66/1 |
|
12th 10 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Showed he still had it what it takes when gaining his ninth course success at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September and ran well despite a 10lb rise back there 12 days later; has tended to need his reappearance in recent years. |

9st 2lb |
Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |

Front-running third over C&D last month; ridden more patiently when only fifth behind Persuasion here 25 days ago; up in class and may prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Useful effort in defeat at Beverley (about 7f) last May and confirmed that stiff tracks suit when winning here (7f, good to firm; sole course start) in August; improved again when successful at Ayr later and no surprise if he comes on plenty from first two runs in 2026. |
16/1 |
|
10th 12 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All four wins over 7f, once on this track; probably stays further and is worth another go over 1m but he was last to finish on his comeback here over 7f in April and likely other days. |
25/1 |
|
13th 6 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; two wins in the second half of 2025 and he ended that campaign with a good second of 15 at Leicester in October; runs off the same mark but he could only manage a midfield finish in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago. |

9st 10lb |
Won twice over 7f as a 2yo for Jim Bolger; sold for 10,000gns last October; seventh of ten on stable debut at Ayr (7f, good) in July and needs to come down the weights before she can come into consideration. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Won twice over 7f as a 2yo when with Jim Bolger; ran a few decent races for him after that (second at Galway last July); bought for 10,000gns last October; perhaps best watched on stable debut. |

Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Dual C&D winner who hasn't been running badly this year without getting the breaks; on a handy mark again and holds each-way claims into a stronger race. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Running fairly well this year and the handicapper's helped his cause; can sometimes miss the break but if giving himself a chance he might not be far away. |
