15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner but holds dismal claims on his 2026 form in that sphere and his unconvincing record on turf adds doubt. |
25/1 |
|
9th 1 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual AW 7f/1m scorer in September but he's failed to beat a rival in his four starts this season, latest over C&D; tried in different headgear here. |

9th 8 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won twice in four days last September (7f and 1m) and he is well handicapped on that form; yet to shine this winter though and may need a drop in class and/or the return of cheekpieces. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 13 months ago but he's run two promising races for James Owen this spring and was beaten less than 2l when sixth at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last time; remains well handicapped on his old form and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing sequence (for Darryll Holland) but he made a promising start for James Owen after a three-month layoff when second of 12 in 1m AW Lingfield handicap nine days ago; big shout nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Darryll Holland with a below-par run at Kempton in January but had gone close off today's mark over C&D a few days earlier and it will be interesting to see what James Owen can do with him (same owner). |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored comfortably twice over C&D in the autumn and ran creditably, amid traffic issues, returned to this scenario last time (effort can be marked up); may yet show that he can defy this sort of mark. |
14/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has run well to make the frame over 1m at Southwell (Tapeta) and Kempton (Polytrack) the last twice, but a record of 0-16 on the AW and a losing run of 17 suggests others are more likely. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Front-runner who won over C&D in 2024; beaten around 6l when third here in January but he's been well held in two starts since; others preferred. |
40/1 |
|
7th 13 (8) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Front-runner and C&D winner, but patchy form since his latest success last summer and was well held in a 0-50 classified event here four week ago; others preferred. |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (11) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Front-runner; C&D winner; he hasn't been at his best since November and he may find a few of these seeing out their race more strongly. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced maiden who reared as the stalls opened on turf last time and did well to get as close; that came off the back of a solid stable debut over C&D and he's shortlisted under Billy Loughnane (1-9 for the yard). |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six race maiden; well held in two handicaps for his previous stable but he posted a solid effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) on his first start for this yard 23 days ago; may come on from that first start for 168 days. |
9/2 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Signs of ability in novice/maiden company but failed to make immediate progress for the switch to handicapping, admittedly with an excuse - suffered interference on the home bend - over C&D last October; easing mark, but best watched off a 168-day absence. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
5yo who was in top form on AW in the spring, with a win at Kempton (1m) being sandwiched by two seconds; showed some promise in May 2024 when he last raced on turf; key player if transferring good form back to grass. |
7/1 |

2nd 9 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways in 1m Kempton handicap 29 days ago; up 4lb but must enter calculations. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Back to form when second of 11 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) a fortnight ago; 2lb higher today but Rossa Ryan booked and this course winner should have a big run in him. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Shooting down the weights but for good reason and doesn't look a winner waiting to happen; belatedly tries 1m for the first time. |
14/1 |
|
6 (2) |
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 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Still 5lb below his last winning mark and was having only his third start for the yard when beaten a neck by a much better-fancied stablemate at Catterick (7f, good) eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that and no surprise if he steps up again; major player. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (11) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over C&D (for Declan Carroll) last July and he competes here from a 5lb lower mark; lacked the pace to challenge on first two starts for Ruth Carr (who also saddles Filey Beach) so stepping back up to 7f rates as a positive move; wide draw, yet still merits respect. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed bag for his former stable but he looked a cut above this level on occasions; joint-favourite for his stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk 19 days ago and ran on for a never-dangerous fifth; he will need to build on that effort to win here but that is not out of the question. |

Infrequent winner but well treated on this year's best efforts; well beaten at 40-1 on his return from a summer break two weeks ago and needs to leave that well behind. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Well held in her first two races and was under pressure a long way out when third of four runners at Lingfield (1m); perhaps mildly progressive and handicaps are now a better option. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 (1) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

28-1 when beating one home on her Yarmouth debut (7f, good) last month; half-sister to an AW winner but she needs to put that debut effort behind her. |

Well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Christine Dunnett; however, well beaten last September on final few starts for that yard and his sole win came back in 2024; might be best watched on stable debut. |
14/1 |
|
12th 12 (12) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Has only won a Brighton maiden in 25 starts and looks hard to predict, with her placed run at Chelmsford last month followed by two lesser ones. |
