25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed and left earlier efforts well behind when winning a 7f handicap at Kempton 19 days ago; a 7lb rise asks more of him but the extra furlong shouldn't be an issue and he's capable of better; strong claims. |

6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Regressive RPRs at novice level but this son of Wootton Bassett is in good hands and may start to progress now handicapping; there was promise on his debut (sole Polytrack attempt); interesting. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not beaten far in a race that threw up several winners on debut in November (7f, AW) but again failed to settle and a long way below that level over further on reappearance; hood fitted for drop in trip/switch to turf but may be more a handicap type. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Still a maiden after ten starts but she's well handicapped on some of last year's placed form and endured a wide trip when only seventh over C&D in January on latest outing; contender if tuned up after break. |
6/1 |
|

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden who has largely encouraging form since switched to handicaps, good third at Chelmsford (upped to 1m2f from 1m) most recently; in the mix. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on well to justify favouritism over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; beaten - fifth, hung left under pressure - in a stronger Class 4 at Nottingham subsequently; might have to settle for minor honours on AW return. |
5/1 |
|
5th 13 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Windsor (1m, good) last spring and he doubled his tally when justifying favouritism at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March; that was a narrow success but he's only 3lb higher and is respected after another break. |
10/1 |
|
1st 6 (11) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made the breakthrough in a Windsor handicap (1m, good) last May and he ended last year with a good second at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta); returns after three months off but he's on the same mark as last time and is still unexposed on AW; respected. |

2lb lower than when seeing off 15 rivals in a 7f handicap (good ground) at York last summer; neither run this year points to him being the answer today though. |
25/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won off this mark in first-time blinkers at York (7f, good) last July and he could improve for last month's respectable comeback at Southwell (7f, AW); however, he does need to build on that and blinkers are left off. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Scored off 1lb lower in first-time cheekpieces at York (7f, good) last summer and is also suited by Tapeta but we haven't seen him since a low-key run on soft turf in September. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season; failed to back that up when sixth there (7f, good) last time and this is his first crack at 6f, but he's not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Built on an encouraging AW reappearance when gaining a breakthrough win in 14-runner C&D handicap (good to firm; Mayo County third) 17 days ago; they were quite well strung out in behind (over 4l back to the fourth) so a 3lb rise looks manageable. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Plenty of promise in the spring and was returning from a lengthy break when sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Southwell three weeks ago (1m; 11-2); that was a tad underwhelming but it's still early days; best RPR came on good to soft and softer here could benefit. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Three promising runs in the spring (didn't see out 1m2f when last seen); missed three engagements in the space of five days in June (two ground related, one lameness); makes her belated handicap debut and could well take a step forwards. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |

11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 in handicaps since winning a Chelmsford maiden (7f, Polytrack) for Alice Haynes a year ago, but his fourth of ten over C&D on penultimate start offers some hope; visor now given a go. |
11/2 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled in handicaps for Alice Haynes after winning a maiden here over 7f last January but he ran a solid race at Wolverhampton (7f; reported to have lost a shoe) on his stable debut 19 days ago, while leaving the impression that he's worth another go over this trip; contender. |
7/4 |

2 (11) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Narrowly off the mark on his second start in a Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) in January, but has regressed in three handicaps since; cheekpieces made no difference on turf debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last month (gelded since); best to look elsewhere. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Trainer not saddled a Flat winner in around six years; this maiden has tumbled down the handicap since joining from Andre Fabre and needs to improve on this spring's turf efforts. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Warm favourite for his Newcastle debut in November but could only manage fourth; no real progress since and although he should be sharper with a recent run behind him, he does have a bit to prove now upped to a mile and fitted with a visor. |

No progress in 6f AW events in late 2024; however, may be capable of better now handicapping over new trip on turf; market should offer further guidance on reappearance. |
