1st 10 (6) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won twice over 6f last September; below that level since returning this year and still 6lb higher than his last winning mark. |

12th 14 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Down the field in three maiden/novice runs but he proved a different proposition on his handicap debut last September (6f, AW; first run after wind surgery), landing a gamble in emphatic fashion; followed up, again easily, in a selling handicap at Thirsk one week later; came up short off his revised mark at Newcastle five weeks ago (first run for 193 days); better than that but dropping to 5f asks a new question of him. |
9/1 |

9th 14 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Much improved sent handicapping after wind surgery, easily winning 0-65s over 6f at Lingfield (AW) and Thirsk (soft) last September; this represents a significant hike in grade but there's almost certainly more to come from this very lightly raced 4yo. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Back to form with a 6f win at Southwell in December but he has followed it with two lesser efforts; tries new headgear this afternoon. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (9) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Patchy form of late, last month's Southwell success (6f, Tapeta) surrounded by lesser efforts; still to convince over this far as well. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Lacklustre effort at Kempton 15 days ago (7f) but he was placed in his two runs in September (6f); cheekpieces now given a go. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Didn't build on her debut promise in two further runs for Clive Cox; second of seven on her stable debut at Ffos Las last month (6f, good; cheekpieces on for the first time); makes her handicap debut at a realistic level and could have more to come. |
10/1 |
|
7 (4) |
13th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten only a length on debut at Newbury (6f, good) last August but she's been well beaten in her two starts since, most recently at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on her final start for Clive Cox 109 days ago; back to 6f with cheekpieces applied on yard debut. |
9/2 |
|
8th 11 (6) |
26th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Well held at Kempton on second start last year but she'd previously gone close on debut when third at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in August; retains potential and is one of the likelier options here. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner who's been in good form here this spring; no obvious reason he won't go well again, having split Lord Capulet and King's School last month, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close up behind Beale Street here in March (6f) and produced a similar effort from off the pace to be runner-up over C&D 11 days ago; needs a good pace to chase (stays 1m) and no guarantee that he'll get one here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a powerful finish when going close in a Class 4 here (6f) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade and his last success was over C&D. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Two 6f wins at Doncaster last summer (soft and good); not found her best in three runs this summer but won't mind rain and she drops in class with cheekpieces given a go; one to take seriously. |
20/1 |

3 (6) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dual Doncaster winner last spring, latterly off a 4lb higher mark; not in much form in two runs on turf, following five months off, and needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
5th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Two 6f wins at Doncaster last year, one on soft ground; should be sharper for last month's return to action and she's one for the shortlist. |

Shooting down the weights but for good reason and doesn't look a winner waiting to happen; belatedly tries 1m for the first time. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now. |
12/1 |
|
8 (10) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |

Not entirely solid on his form for new stable but has slipped to an attractive mark and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus; may prove resurgent if taking well to first-time blinkers. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Beat Mister Sky Blue by 2l to win over C&D this month but was comfortably held off this 6lb higher mark last week; consistent. |
13/2 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Largely consistent mare who had edged her way down to a good mark before clearcut C&D (good) win 11 days ago; evidently in good nick but moves up from 0-55 grade today and recent 6lb rise might leave her vulnerable. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back on the up for Adam Kirby this spring, winning at Southwell (6f, AW) and Lingfield (5f, AW) as well as three second-place finishes; 0-16 on turf but effective on fast ground and this intermediate trip could be ideal. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Bolted up on his stable debut at Southwell in March (6f); dropped to 5f for his last two starts, picked off late at Catterick (good ground) before a ready win on the AW track here nine days ago; another 7lb higher mark to contend with but unlikely he has reached his ceiling just yet. |
7/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won easily in today's headgear combination on last month's seasonal/stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW) and ran big race in defeat when dropped back to 5f at Catterick (good; wore cheekpieces) last week; quickly back in action before latest 2lb rise takes effect and may still have more to offer for new trainer. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Losing run stands at 18 but she has run well in 7f classified events on Tapeta on her last two starts, the latest here last week; strong claims in this field. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
