23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Free-going sort; easily saw off five rivals on testing ground at Lingfield in June but he has been well held in three runs since; hopes rest on the return to slower ground giving him a lift. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Easily won a small-field soft-ground handicap at Lingfield in June off 6lb lower but well held since then, latterly at Southwell on Monday. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Well backed when winning a 6f handicap at Lingfield (soft) last month; not sure that was the greatest race, however, and he's since finished unplaced at Hamilton, albeit over 5f. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Blinkers have helped him this spring, seeing off five rivals at Bath (1m, firm) last month and then finishing close up in third back at Bath (1m2f, firm) 19 days ago; returning to a mile can help and Mason Paetel's claim is a useful one. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Travelled well in the new blinkers over 1m here recently (firm) and got the job done by just over a length; has stamina to prove over this longer trip and no guarantees the headgear will work a second time. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He's dropped down the weights and was a close fifth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November on his penultimate start; however, a lesser run followed (6f, AW) to make it 0-7 and there's a stamina question to answer on his reappearance; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell (Class 6) in February but less productive in three subsequent appearances (6f-7f), although with mitigating circumstances (saddle slipped) latest. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; place prospects off an easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective at 6f and 7f but his sole win was in a Carlisle novice in August 2024; went close off this mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but was never involved when a remote fourth there last time; that was behind a handicap blot but he needs to step up again after that. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Went close at Yarmouth (6f, good) last July and won at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) in July; absent since but he can be in the mix if fully tuned up on his return. |
5/1 |
|
5 (8) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

1-11; a beaten favourite at Yarmouth last time (6f, good) but travelled well off the pace before coming home strongly; every chance. |
5/1 |
|
1 (10) |
16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Inconsistent on the AW but saw off a progressive rival when off the mark in January; beaten just over 1l in a busy finish on his comeback over C&D (good; Coolagh Magic and Court Of Session ahead, Shibuya Storm behind) in June and wasn't far off that when fourth at Newmarket (good to firm; winner and fifth won next time) nine days later; key player. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Quickly clicked into gear for this yard with an eyeshield fitted, scoring twice on AW in April before close second at Lingfield (also 6f, good) last Monday; due for a 1lb nudge in future and he can't be ignored. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has got it together for his current (third) yard since fitted with an eyeshield; needs to improve on previous turf efforts but a 3lb rise looks fair and he has a decent chance of completing the hat-trick. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, overcoming some traffic issues before winning readily at Wolverhampton (6f) ten days ago; 4lb rise does not look excessive and this C&D also suits; good chance. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Five AW wins include this year's hat-trick on the Tapeta; raised a further 4lb for what was a narrow latest success (1m) but he's on a roll and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has taken his AW record to 4-7 when winning twice at Southwell (7f/1m) since joining James Horton; raised 6lb since last time but the way he moved into contention suggests there's likely even more to come for his new stable. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D in July but well held in five starts since, including two back here; needs a resurgence. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In good form earlier this year, with 6f wins at Kempton and on this track (beat Master Dandy) in July but little since, including over C&D; reunited with Jack Doughty (won on him at Kempton) but turnaround a must. |
12/1 |
|
5 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner, including C&D in May, but he's not threatened in three starts since winning at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) in July; did run on from the rear when fifth of 12 at the latter track (also 6f) on Saturday, though; can take a big grip but not discounted. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Went close over C&D in January but she was disappointing when joint-favourite at Chelmsford the following month; needs to step up again after that and she's now 0-13; first-time visor replaces blinkers. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 |
8th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who hasn't had many chances in 6f handicaps but should find one on his recent Kempton Polytrack form, going close two starts ago before the front-running winner wasn't for catching on Wednesday (when first-time blinkers added, now retained); major contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-race maiden but two of his best runs have come over C&D, finishing his race off strongly when a close third to Dr Ali 16 days ago; capable of winning a similar race and first-time blinkers may be beneficial. |

All five wins have been on the AW over further than this, the latest at Wolverhampton in January; below his best in three starts since finishing third there in February and he's 0-15 on turf. |

Five-time AW winner who scored at Wolverhampton (7f) in January but he's been out of sorts on Tapeta in his last two runs; has plenty to prove again and all of his wins have been over longer trips. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Below best at Leicester recently; had won two of his three 6f starts previously but he hasn't run on the AW for over a year and has been better on Polytrack than Tapeta in the past. |
7/1 |

3 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Struggled at big prices in his three qualifying runs but this is more realistic on handicap debut and he's a possible improver on this step up to 1m; needs checking in market. |
