18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner but 0-11 as a hurdler and can race freely; has shown he can be competitive off even higher marks but has to bounce back from two below-par efforts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Looks exposed after eight hurdling starts but was second in run-of-the-mill Fontwell handicap (2m1f, good) in September and has each-way claims if in similar form again here. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won over about 1m on Wolverhampton AW on final start in 2024 but he's had some low-key results at that trip and 1m2f for this yard and this new distance is a step into the unknown. |
33/1 |
|

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended last season with a win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) but he's been out of sorts in three runs for new yard this summer; still lightly raced and now 4lb lower than for his success, but he needs a major revival |
33/1 |
|
9th 4 (6) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winner at the fifth attempt for Archie Watson last year (8.6f, AW); can't support on what we've seen following wind surgery this season, including when finishing three places (and 11l) behind Bamburgh at Ayr last time. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
In good form for Denis Quinn in recent months including wins at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in December and over C&D in January; closely matched with Wonder on a couple of bits of form and respected on first start for John Ryan (same owner); stable also runs Tommy's Promise. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Made it two wins in a row when edging out Wonder over C&D last month; extended his run of good form when second of ten at Wolverhampton (1m4f) four weeks ago; should figure again. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Improved as his stamina was drawn out last season, winning over 2m2f here in October (soft); below par on extremely deep ground at Nottingham when last seen 211 days ago but that is not the run to judge him on; unlikely he has reached his ceiling and he's an interesting contender. |
4/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close third at Chester (2m, good) last month then got off the mark at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; travelled well on that most recent start and this lightly raced 4yo may well have more left in the tank. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
10st 7lb |
Has placed form over 2m/2m1f on the level; favourite when runner-up in Limerick maiden hurdle in March; 2m5f was expected to suit last time, but it didn't; gets plenty of weight from her main rivals. |
6/1 |
|
5th 13 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 11lb |
Fair Flat maiden in Britain for James Horton; shaped okay on all three maiden hurdle runs over 2m, notably latest when (favourite) chasing home a ready winner here last month (soft); tries a longer trip here. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful handicap debut over 1m3f at Hamilton (first-time blinkers) in July but he's not come near that form in two runs since and switches to the AW and a new trip with plenty to prove; headgear discarded. |
9/1 |
|
3 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in Hamilton contest (1m3f) and soft ground looks a plausible excuse for his poor effort later in July; this 3yo colt remains unexposed. |
11/2 |
|
5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Blinkers added for handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good; unraced on softer) 11 days ago and he improved to make all in eight-runner race at 25-1, with the first two nearly 7l clear; up 6lb on different ground but should stay and it's likely he will again be able to dictate the pace. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with him landing a hat-trick, including two over 2m round Southwell, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; solid effort there last Thursday, back from a few months off (1m3f), but he'll want a similarly strong pace this evening. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won his last two starts for Ralph Beckett and completed the hat-trick here over 2m in November when visored for the first time on his debut for this stable; ran another good race when runner-up at Kempton (2m) next time but he was below his best 97 days ago; could bounce back on his first start since but this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

Beaten 15l and more in three runs at 1m4f and 1m3f, two of them on this track; handicaps will prove more suitable but the assessor hasn't felt generous. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return. |
5/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Eight races; won by 10l at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in August and by 5l without any problems at Lingfield (2m, AW) ten days later; second of six to Blazeon Fine at Ascot (2m, good to soft) and another good effort at Newmarket (good) one week later considering it was a hot race over 1m4f; not proven on soft but back up in trip and may still have improvement in him. |

Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf. |

3rd 2 (6) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win from 12 starts; posted a solid effort when third of nine in first-time blinkers here in February and probably would have benefited from a stronger gallop when fourth over C&D 35 days ago (Charlie Darling was third); claims. |
5/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Broadly sound AW form since October features an account-opening win over 1m6f; posted a solid-looking effort in new headgear (blinkers) over C&D most recently; runs off the same mark and Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 7b; highly respected. |
