3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had ups and downs since showing decent form earlier in career and was well treated when starting out for this trainer in 2025, winning three of his last four 6f starts on AW and turf; went down only narrowly back on turf (good to firm; headgear left off) in UAE during March and he's of interest now back with former yard. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in January and suffered a poor run when sixth of ten over C&D last time; ought to be thereabouts. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a favourable mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) four weeks ago, but he was well below that form at Southwell last time; remains well handicapped on old form but he needs to step up again after that last run. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped out over 5f two starts ago but good efforts at 6f either side of that and he's 11lb lower than a close fifth of ten over 5f on this track in January; can be on the premises. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Most effective on AW (4-25) and was beaten 15l (tenth) in the Grey Horse handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; 40-1) last month; needs this change of headgear - has won in first-time blinkers previously - to spark a revival; easing mark but poorly drawn. |
25/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Close third in this last year (good) and he won twice at Kempton (6f, AW) in the winter; below par on his last two starts but runs off his last winning mark and is not written off. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In good form at Kempton over the winter, winning twice in blinkers; had a three-month break prior to his midfield finish at Salisbury last month; should be happier back on AW and with blinkers back on (wore cheekpieces latest); solid contender. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Can miss the break and is often ridden from off the pace (every chance she will be again from stall 12); notched a third C&D win when taking a small-field affair against her own sex off 2lb lower in April; slight drop-off latest and has to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well both here and at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) since returning last month and has twice won over this C&D in her career; major player, especially if getting a solid pace to aim at. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back to winning ways when seeing off five rivals over C&D (her third C&D success) two weeks ago; a 2lb rise doesn't handicap her out of things but she will need a good pace to aim at. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |
|
10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
2 (9) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Chased home Annie Edson Taylor at Hamilton last month but two lesser efforts have followed; others hold more obvious claims. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not had a lot of luck of late, latterly when anticipating the start and slowly away at Chester ten days ago; has a C&D autumn win to her name and goes on the shortlist for a yard in decent nick. |
8/1 |
|
7 (6) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Close to her last winning mark (6f, Carlisle) and has knocked at the door at Beverley (5f, soft; third) and Hamilton (6f, good to soft; runner-up) on her last two starts; that latest effort was given a boost with Gizelles Izzy (third) winning at Carlisle on Tuesday; one of the likeliest candidates. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Wins for Heather Main came at Kempton; not at his best for this yard, including back to sprinting last time after a spell over further, and isn't obviously fancied from the outside stall. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come at Kempton (6f, Polytrack), but he has mainly been racing over further this year; quiet in first two starts for this yard (1m/7f) and although the return to this trip may suit and he drops into a Class 6 for the first time, others are more compelling. |
14/1 |
|
11th 14 (12) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Two wins for Heather Main came over 6f and he hasn't always convinced over this trip; never involved for his new yard last time, when trying 1m for the first time, and needs much more into a stronger handicap. |

Met trouble in running in a messy C&D handicap two weeks ago; on a dangerous mark if this sets up more favourably. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won off a 2lb higher mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April before finishing fourth there over 6f next time; however he's been down the field in four starts since (5f-7f); back on AW. |
20/1 |

9 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April and fared okay back over 6f there (fourth) next time; however, he has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last three appearances (5f-7f) which suggests that he'll find life tough, particularly from this wide draw. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at 6f and over C&D for James Owen at the start of the year, then over 1m here on yard debut in March, but his last three runs have been nothing like as good; has plenty to prove back at 7f. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (12) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a revival for James Owen and this yard earlier in the year, with three wins, including two round here; up in the weights now, though, and finished well behind a couple of these over C&D a month ago; needs more from somewhere. |
20/1 |
|
12th 5 (12) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Looked in excellent nick on last month's stable debut, gaining clearcut C&D win in first-time cheekpieces; not quite in same form when fourth off new mark here three weeks later but still considered. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), though he has been placed three times from eight starts over this C&D; a losing run of 38 isn't ideal, though; blinkers return. |
40/1 |
|
5th 7 (11) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All wins have come over 6f here, though he has gone close over this trip at Southwell; fair fourth of nine here (6f) a fortnight ago, but a record of 3-82 does suggest a degree of caution. |
10/1 |
