27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts including a game success at Catterick (6f, good) last Saturday; only 2lb higher back on AW and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |

9st 2lb |
August's Sandown win was over 5f but showed he's as effective over 6f when landing a Kempton apprentice event on Wednesday; escapes a penalty and Jack Dace also takes 5lb off so his claims are obvious from a handicapping perspective; yet to win back to back in his 56-race career, though. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |

Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

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. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win from 24 starts but that was off 9lb higher at Brighton (5.3f, good) last spring; losing run is up to 13 but he's run some solid races on AW this year including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; seems tactically versatile and he's an interesting contender back in trip after a short break. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on his best form last year and he ran into some trouble in the closing stages when a creditable fifth at Kempton (6f) last time; hard to rule out another good run but he still has something to prove at this trip and is 0-10 on AW. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (10) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

5.2f turf winner (good); has slipped to a competitive mark and if able to return to last autumn's Wolverhampton form, he'd be thereabouts. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins when trained by Philip McBride, the last of which was in September 2024; sold for 6,000gns to join new yard in February; unseated when rearing at the start on stable debut; first-time cheekpieces go on and he's best watched. |
33/1 |
|
5 (12) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 0-6 on AW and finished down the field at Chelmsford (6f) and Southwell (5f) in final two runs for Charlie McBride; changed hands for 6,000gns and he has something to prove for new yard after 166 days off; blinkers removed. |

24-race maiden, absent since three midfield finishes on Lingfield Polytrack (5f-6f) for Amanda Perrett in December; changed hands for 10,000gns in January; makes stable debut from workable mark. |
10/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

0-18 but down in the weights and ran creditably over C&D in a stronger race two weeks ago; others still appeal more for win purposes. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Third, beaten 1.25l by Over Spiced, in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; that represented his best turf result but this race will demand an even bigger effort. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (13) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 11th win when scoring over C&D (firm) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down this year and was out the back at Windsor two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Course winner over 5f on heavy ground in September and she has also won on good to firm; ended last season out of sorts and she was well held on her return at Leicester (6f, good) 16 days ago; hood is removed and tongue-tie is applied; bit to prove. |
14/1 |

7th 10 (10) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Turf wins have come on stiff tracks, at 6f and 5f; had another good season in 2025 but it ended quietly in the autumn and she now has a hood refitted for the first time in over two years; has a bit to prove. |

9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he finished well when runner-up over C&D (heavy) last autumn; returns after five months but he's handicapped on his best form and has had only three runs for current yard; needs a close look with hood added. |
5/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

0-7 for Peter Crate but he reached the frame in three handicaps including when a close fourth at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; still has bit to prove on slow ground but he needs watching in market on stable debut; yard also runs Bated Breeze. |
