2nd 4 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; yet to win a handicap but he's finished runner-up on both turf and AW, with Sunday's close call at Southwell (5f, AW) representing improvement; ahead of the handicapper and holds obvious claims; stable also run Twilight Calls. |
7/1 |

2nd 5 (3) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won C&D novice last September before a stint in Meydan (some good efforts), and he returned to action with a midfield finish in a competitive handicap at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) eight days ago; could improve for that run and the drop back to 5f; unexposed and he's an interesting contender. |
11/2 |

9th 12 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Improved with each of his 3yo starts, getting off the mark in a 5f novice at Southwell last September; ran creditably in Dubai earlier in the year without looking ahead of his mark; returns to action in a tough race and the new visor needs to have a positive effect. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who led close home to take 17-runner Thirsk handicap (5f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2-5; probably still has more to offer and commands respect. |
9/4 |
|
1st 4 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Unexposed after just four runs; consistent form in 5f novices last term and made an encouraging reappearance/handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) five weeks ago, fading having had the worst of the draw; remains open to improvement and high on the list. |
10/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Solid record (122) in 5f novice events in his first season last year, the success at Catterick on good ground; plausibly open to progress in handicaps this season; respected. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-race maiden who has largely consistent form figures; good second, beaten only half a length, in Class 6 handicap over C&D most recently; reasonably solid and her turn may be near. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
280,000gns yearling; finished third in both starts at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month, showing improved form on the second occasion (fifth has won since); no reason why she shouldn't go well again. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Unplaced in four starts over 5f-1m; blinkers now given a go, but still not sure what his ideal trip is. |
12/1 |
|
6 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Thrice-raced colt who made late headway for fourth-place finish over 5f at Southwell most recently; may take another step forward upped in trip on handicap debut. |
7/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
No improvement for the switch to handicaps here last week (6f, good to soft) but she showed speed and perhaps this sharper test will help; not a solid option all the same. |
20/1 |
|
10 (3) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Has shown glimpses of ability in maidens/novice; first attempt at 6f on handicap debut and may have more to offer. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Thrice-raced filly who has achieved little; needs major improvement now handicapping. |

6th 7 (7) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Triple-figure odds and well beaten in her first two starts on the Southwell Tapeta (6f/5f); low-grade handicaps beckon. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Bought for 5,000gns in July after showing modest form in two Irish runs (6f/5f); James Owen might bring him on but perhaps one for handicaps. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y |

Failed to make an impact on debut over 6f at Cork (good) in May, slowly away; bred to do better at some stage but may need more time. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won three 6f handicaps at Newcastle over the winter when trained by Richard Spencer; two heavy defeats since joining this yard and risky, for all he's dropping in class this time. |
16/1 |
|
11th 12 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three Newcastle wins for Richard Spencer over the winter, latterly off 5lb lower, and remained competitive before changing hands for 5,000gns; usual tongue-tie/blinkers absent for his new yard latest (same again here), when well below par on turf. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been campaigned exclusively on AW where he had three wins over 6f at Newcastle for Richard Spencer; sold for 5,000gns to join new trainer last month and is a fascinating contender back in trip on turf debut for shrewd yard. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

First foal; dam 5f 2yo winner (RPR 78), half-sister to winners Beauzon (prolific 5f/6f), Brazen Belle (5f/6f) and Startling (5f 2yo); likely best watched. |

5,000gns 2yo; by Dark Angel out of unraced sister to winners including Outstrip, who won Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile; likely best watched on belated debut. |
