2nd 9 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
A 1m maiden winner for Ed Walker; no worthwhile form over hurdles or on the Flat (two handicaps) for this operation. |
33/1 |
|
10th 4 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
A fair 1m maiden for Ed Walker; last of 13 for his new yard on his handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f) in February, though, and well held over hurdles at Kempton since. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
1-16, the win coming at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; not far behind a couple of these when third of nine over C&D three weeks ago and would have gone even closer with a clear run; has since left Tony Carroll but still respected if things pan out more kindly. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at Yarmouth (5f) in August and didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a good third of seven under a 5lb penalty at Brighton (6f) 17 days ago; a player off a 2lb lower mark here. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who arrives in good form, third of seven in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 15 days ago; not out of things in his bid for a maiden victory. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Form figures of 323 in maiden/novice events but he's been well held in four handicaps; may have had stamina issues over 2m at Lingfield (AW) last month but he needs to raise his game on this big drop back in trip. |
7/2 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo; safely held in first three handicaps (1m-1m2f) but this big hike up in trip is an interesting move; cheekpieces removed after one use; well worth a glance in the bettting. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 1m novice at Windsor last September when trained by Ralph Beckett but he's failed to beat a rival home in each of his three starts for this yard (tongue-tied on the last two occasions); has been given wind surgery since last seen 76 days ago. |
66/1 |
|
10th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed after only six runs but has struggled on both starts for new stable this season (1m1f/7f); big leap of faith required to support him. |
66/1 |
|
14th 4 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Odds-on 1m winner (good) at Windsor last September when with Ralph Beckett; has gone backwards in all three starts since, latest on debut for new yard; tongue-tie now tried; plenty to prove at present. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Some initial promise but beaten a long way in handicaps on reappearance at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in June and at Bath (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago. |
33/1 |

10th 6 (4) |

Very lightly raced Havana Grey gelding; went too freely when seventh of 11 in 1m Nottingham maiden in October; returns for his handicap debut with more needed. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Did not show enough when 66-1 here on debut in June and rather less when 80-1 at Uttoxeter (again on good) one month later. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Belied his 80-1 odds with keeping-on fourth of nine in 1m4f AW contest at Kempton; frame possibilities on that form but he's taking a big drop in trip. |
20/1 |
|
6 (6) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gelded half-brother to nine winners including Windhoek (6f-1m2f including AW/Listed; RPR 114), Queen Kahlua (7f; 92), Eager Beaver (1m4f; 86) and Rahyah (1m2f turf/1m4f AW; 82); dam Listed-placed 7f-1m2f winner (102); enough paper appeal to warrant a market check. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Missed the break when down the field at Hamilton (1m1f, good) in August; before that he won in good style at Nottingham (1m, soft) in his second handicap; this lightly raced 4yo is unexposed on slow ground and could have a big part to play; the blinkers worn on his last two starts are left off. |
7/1 |
|
10th 2 (7) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won a maiden at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last October and doubled his tally when landing a handicap on soft ground over that same C&D in first-time blinkers two months ago; now 8lb higher but this lightly raced 4yo should still have more to offer; stable won this in 2022. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved with each run as a 3yo, getting off the mark in a C&D maiden last October (good ground); couldn't land a blow on his seasonal/handicap debut at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, but still has potential and blinkers could help unlock it. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't beaten many in three starts over 1m/1m3f on AW/good ground since August; needs to step up considerably on handicap debut, but he is bred to be much better than he has shown; market could be revealing. |
8/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sixth foal; half-brother to winners Twist 'N' Shake (1m including Listed; RPR 109) and Groovy Baby (6f AW; 76); dam 1m-1m2f winner (including Listed; 107); only 11-2 for debut at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago but was well beaten; drops in trip here; presumably thought capable of much better. |

Unplaced in nine starts and only marginal improvement dropped to this level when fourth of seven at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) last month (third has won since); needs to improve for the new surface. |

3rd 10 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins (including C&D) and a second from his six handicap runs; still has time to progress further and he looks a solid candidate once more. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made it four out of five in handicaps when prevailing in a big field at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); this lightly raced 4yo is clearly progressive and should be a tough nut to crack. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
300,000euros yearling; well held in her first two runs but she showed promise when a staying-on fourth in Windsor novice (1m, good) last month; this is a big step up in trip on handicap debut but she has a striking pedigree and needs a close look in the market. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Fifth of six in spring C&D event won by very useful sort; only a modest fourth at Chelmsford since but may be capable of progress returned to turf; frame possibilities. |
10/1 |

11 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
From a good family that includes 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Sudirman; stumbled soon after start and could not get seriously competitive when fifth of six at Windsor (1m) in May but that quite valuable novice race has worked out pretty well; no surprise if she gets close to the target here. |

Huge prices and little promise in three starts over 7f-1m2f on turf, but she is a half-sister to three AW winners over middle distances, so a better show on handicap debut wouldn't be the biggest surprise. |

9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds from her last four starts, all in 1m2f handicaps; hit with an 8lb rise for her Bath win last month but the second and third have won since and she will be another 2lb higher from the weekend. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Opened account in Lingfield classified (1m2f, AW) in June and ran at least as well when dead-heat second in handicap over that C&D last month; should be okay back on turf; can make her presence felt again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Running well over this trip on turf here in her last couple of starts, finishing runner-up in May and going one better under Seamus Cronin the following month; up 5lb, but latest form has been boosted with the second and third both winning twice since; respected if as effective back on Polytrack; stable also runs Dubai Harbour. |
