13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner on good to firm last year, including over C&D in August off a mark 1lb higher than today's; 0-4 in Bahrain this winter but now returns to Britain on a handy mark having been off for 83 days; could have this run to suit and holds claims. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has gone 3-4 in cheekpieces and was drawn out of contention in the defeat at Goodwood; however, the handicapper is creeping closer and this race demands his best form yet. |
12/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has won two of his last three and was drawn out of contention when beaten at Goodwood; always in a good place before doing it comfortably at Windsor (5f, good to firm); 7lb rise asks a question but he's on top of his game. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Completed a 5f AW hat-trick last backend and has continued in fine form this spring, runner-up in 5f Southwell handicap last time; must enter calculations back on turf. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and he improved again when second in the Listed Hever Stakes at Lingfield four weeks ago; a 3lb rise demands extra but this speedy sort shouldn't be discounted. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Better than ever in late 2025, winning two C&D handicaps before completing his hat-trick at Wolverhampton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second over C&D in December but that defeat off a BHA mark of 96 will need bettering to trouble the principals. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer; not seen to best effect on his last three runs since scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) in March, going too freely from an outside draw when last of six at Bath (5f) last time; interesting from an easing mark. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner; stayed on well to land a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in March and two defeats since have come over 6f; latest Lingfield effort was much better than the distance beaten suggests; 5f on quick ground suits ideally and more patient tactics in a well-run race could pay dividends. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month and he failed to settle when well beaten from a wide draw over 6f there next time; however, all of his wins have come at 5f and he has something to prove kept to 6f. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

Didn't have to improve to make a winning stable debut at Leicester in July (5f, good); caught wide when down the field at Chester last time but not sure he's handicapped to win. |
20/1 |
|
1 (6) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won Leicester maiden (5f, good) last month on stable debut; not at the top of his game at Chepstow next time (5f, good to soft; sole run on slow ground) but fourth of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) since in first-time tongue-tie (retained); might not be far away if absence of hood isn't an issue. |
12/1 |
|
4th 9 (12) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Didn't need to improve to make a winning stable debut for Michael Keady in a Leicester maiden last month (5f, good); ran okay in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow last week but he will need more for the faster ground and/or new tongue-tie if he's to win this from a wide stall. |

Ended a 15-race losing run when scoring by a head over C&D last month; only midfield under his penalty at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) next time, but each-way claims back here. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (1) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
First win for 11 months when leading towards the finish at Southwell (5f, AW) 11 days ago; carries a 5lb penalty and has yet to win back to back in his 43-race career. |
10/1 |
|
13 (14) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Did well on AW in late 2024, including a Newcastle win and two runner-up finishes over C&D; 0-12 in 2025 but has dropped a long way in the weights and returns to AW off a 13lb lower mark than when sixth in a C&D Class 4 in April; considered. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well suited by a left-hand turn, winning twice here over 5f last summer; promising seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) but he wasn't in the same form at Musselburgh (5f, good) nine days ago; handy draw and he can't be discounted. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f), in a productive 2025 campaign; his near miss on 6f Catterick reappearance (good) last Wednesday suggests he's unlikely to be long in opening his account for 2026; same mark today. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f; has form over much further), in a productive 2025 campaign; effective at this track and not impossibly treated returning from 170 days off; one to consider. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |
11/1 |
|
8 (5) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; went close at Nottingham (5f, good) most recently; again receives weight all round and may well remain competitive; has bits of C&D form. |

2nd 10 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He has yet to start at a bigger price than 9-4 in his nine races but he has won only one of them; hard to fault his consistency but he is edging up the weights and might prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Most consistent since his debut a year ago (22331323); gelded since beaten two necks into third of four at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) a month ago; possesses plenty of early pace and this sharp track may prove ideal. |
2/1 |
|
4 (7) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Never out of the first three in seven starts, making a winning reappearance in a Catterick novice (5f, good) in May and going down by only a neck in a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; up 1lb but still a major player. |

Fifth career win when beating seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) and she got behind before staying on in Vantheman's race at Hamilton; drawn on the wing but has a big run in her. |
8/1 |
|
4th 14 (15) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Won four times early last summer, including over C&D, and climbed 19lb up the weights; made it three wins and a second in four starts under Lauren Young when turning in a career-best effort to score at Musselburgh last time out and may well be up to defying a 3lb rise. |

Met trouble when fifth at Chester (6f, good) a fortnight ago but there were no apparent excuses when filling the same position at Newmarket last Saturday; the type to click for this yard before long but others are stronger today. |

5th 3 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when fifth at Chester (6f, good) last Friday, when denied a clear run on his second stable start; Chester has brought out the best him in the past but he can also be effective elsewhere and could be thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

Two C&D runs for Roger Varian yielded a win and a second; may have needed the outing on last month's stable debut and he's well treated if that run brings him on; more appealing than many. |

Came from off the pace to record a decisive C&D success in January; ran no sort of race over 5f here in February, always behind after a slow start; better than that and no surprise to see him rebound. |

13th 4 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Hold-up performer who needs things to fall right but they did just that when he surged home in a good 6f handicap here three weeks ago; up 5lb but not impossibly treated on last season's best and the return to 5f won't be a negative. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

9st 7lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but there were some good runs in defeat and he starts this season off an 8lb lower mark than for last year's reappearance; solid third in one run at Yarmouth; best on good ground or faster; makes his seasonal return with a hood back on and with his stable in good form. |
4/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he's fully effective elsewhere and is still unexposed on AW; plenty of solid efforts over 5f this season but losing run is mounting up and he's struggled in four previous runs at this trip; down the list. |
10/1 |
|
13 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All his wins have come at Doncaster but he is fully effective elsewhere, including on AW as evidenced by his close third in this race last year when rated 3lb higher; retains plenty of ability and more minor money not out of the question. |
