9th 8 (8) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has five wins on AW, including one over C&D; below his best since winning at Lingfield in February and best watched. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Normally a fairly consistent sort but that's not been the case in 2026, with Lingfield success (penultimate start) his standout performance; failed to beat a rival latest; hard to support with confidence. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Poor efforts in January are flanked by two wins over 6f, latest at Lingfield when taking AW record to 5-30; back up 3lb but Conor Whiteley takes off 7lb; likely player, provided he remains in form. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
His knocks on the door are getting louder and just failed to land a 14-runner Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) eight days ago; big player on that although he disappointed on good to firm in July when said to prefer a slower surface. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Usually a reliable sort whose five wins have all been over 6f; beaten a head over 5f at Wolverhampton in March and a shade disappointing back on turf subsequently but should give a better performance here. |
7/1 |
|
10 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
All five wins have been this trip but he had a near-miss over 5f at Wolverhampton in March; only 1lb higher today but he was a disappointing favourite back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) last time; has a bit to prove again after that and this is a step back up in grade. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (11) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins in 2025, the latest at this track (6f, good) in September when 3lb lower; several good runs in defeat since and he is a leading contender with this likely to be run to suit. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Up in the weights after two turf wins last year and has never won off a mark this high on the AW; finished the season with a whimper and may need this at his age back from six months off. |
25/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Denied Connie's Rose close home off 2lb higher at Chepstow in June (6f, good to firm), but behind that rival the last twice (softer ground not to blame) and her season is starting to trail off; others persuade more. |
20/1 |
|
11 (12) |
22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Again inclined to hang left behind Connie's Rose last time, when well below market expectations; won over C&D this time last year but that was off a 7lb lower mark and she's weighted to her best. |
10/1 |
|
2 (8) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Added a C&D win (a little to find with the runner-up Connie's Rose) in June to two over 6f (good to firm and soft) in 2024; shade below best at Ffos Las four weeks ago but can't rule out back on this course. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
AW winner for current stable but her form has dipped in two starts since returned to turf, despite being previously effective in this sphere; bit to prove at present. |
14/1 |
|
9th 8 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Shot back up the weights after an easy win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in November; latest Bath run was after a 12-week absence and she may fare better today with her rider's 7lb claim useful. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Shot back up the weights after an easy win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in November; had comparable form over 6f on turf last season and finished on heels of the leaders in 1m2f AW race in January on latest start, but others may well be a bit better handicapped. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner but holds dismal claims on his 2026 form in that sphere and his unconvincing record on turf adds doubt. |
25/1 |
|
9th 1 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual AW 7f/1m scorer in September but he's failed to beat a rival in his four starts this season, latest over C&D; tried in different headgear here. |
10/1 |
|
9th 8 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won twice in four days last September (7f and 1m) and he is well handicapped on that form; yet to shine this winter though and may need a drop in class and/or the return of cheekpieces. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Can race freely and isn't the only potential pace influence here, but confidence in her restored by last month's Kempton rout (6f); hiked beyond any winning mark again, but goes on anything and this dual Ffos Las scorer won't fail for the return to a galloping track. |
9/4 |
|
2 (2) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins (6f) on turf and she won well at Ffos Las (good) in August; 0-10 on AW, though, and she raced freely and hung for pressure when sixth of nine over C&D 19 days ago. |
11/2 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All three 6f wins on turf; has form on both AW surfaces but record on sand now stands at 0-9 and this is her first Polytrack run for two years. |
6/1 |
