18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins last summer and he showed spark as recently as this April; he's dropped to a dangerous mark but has failed to shine on his last three outings and arrives with something to prove. |
8/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Well treated on the form he showed last August, including win at Haydock and close third at the York Ebor festival; absent since finishing rather tamely over C&D two months ago. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
In reasonably good form and beat all bar one of the 3yos in Ayr contest (1m) last time but looks no certainty to go one better in this bigger race; it remains over two years since his sole success. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has run to a useful level on his last three starts; soft ground might be the main obstacle for him today. |
6/1 |

4th 11 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Two quick runs at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago, beaten only 2l when fifth of 20 on the Wednesday (7f, good to firm) then seventh of 18 in the Golden Mile on the Friday (good to firm) when he would have been closer with a clear run; it's possible he'll be involved; unproven on slow ground. |

On a mark we know he can win off but hasn't been that threatening this season, including here in his final race when fourth of the six runners; bit to prove. |

Ended 2025 with 1m Southwell win and largely in good nick this season, seventh of 14 in 1m Carlisle handicap last month; not ruled out from a slipping mark. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Similar efforts since wearing cheekpieces, finishing 3l fourth both times, latest over 6f (usually races at further); remains well treated on peak performance, namely a 7f success off 7lb higher last season. |
12/1 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Gained both wins over 7f; raced too freely when fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Sandown (7f, good to soft) last month but is worth a crack at sprinting in the new headgear and has become well handicapped. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race last year on soft ground and he's now 4lb lower; shaped well from unfavourable draw when seventh at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; returning to 7f should suit, and rain would not inconvenience him in the slightest; wears headgear for the first time; big player despite unflattering form-figures. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won races for two previous yards; started for this stable with a good third at Ayr (1m1f) in May but he's struggled since, including dropped to a claimer last time; has a bit to find on these terms even if bouncing back to the Ayr form. |
13/2 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won races for two previous yards and was a close third on debut for current one (1m1f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from there, including here two runs back when beating one home over 6f; drops into a claimer but these terms aren't easy. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Nicely treated and back to form, finishing second in first-time cheekpieces at Chester (7.5f) and then fourth of 13 in a good race at Hamilton (1m); this looks less demanding than last time but softer ground would be preferred. |
4/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Nicely treated, having gained sole handicap win (1m, soft) off 3lb higher; best efforts this term when runner-up on three occasions, including in first-time cheekpieces at Chester latest start; possibilities if suited by the switch to visor. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner; a mixed bag this season but has dipped to a dangerous mark and always a chance that cheekpieces could have a desired effect; ideally he'd prefer a tad further. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

9st 11lb |
1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|
4 (8) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f here (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts since but hasn't been helping his cause with slow starts (also soon off bridle and detached latest); the much longer trip will allow him more time to catch up if doing something similar this afternoon but his ability to see it out has to be taken on trust. |
10/1 |

Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f at Ayr (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts back at Ayr twice since; this former course scorer enters calculations. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

Slightly resurgent on reappearance but needs to build on that effort and remains far from solid on his form for current stable; was a useful sort for previous yard. |
20/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Useful performer at up to 1m6f for the Gosdens but regressive for his current yard and tailed off in his last five starts, including on hurdling debut in August; has plenty to prove on his return and last win was almost two years ago. |
25/1 |
|
4 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat performer at up to 1m6f for the Gosdens but regressive for his current yard and tailed off on his last four starts (blinkered on latest); perhaps he'll be sweetened up by hurdling but he carries obvious risks. |
