1st 4 (12) |
19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to form from out of the blue at Southwell (1m; 5lb lower) but that was his fifth win on the AW, whereas he's 0-11 on turf (no places); that's clearly a concern. |

Scored at Kempton in 2024 and 2025 but returns here with a big doubt over his current form; has poor claims on 2026 efforts. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 1m2f on turf in July and has run well to be placed at Kempton (1m3f/1m4f) off this mark in his last two starts; has gone well here before and holds solid claims. |
5/2 |
|
1 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of his career over 7f/1m but was a dual 1m2f turf winner this summer and he went close over 1m3f here last month; on same mark as for that last run and he could have more to offer at middle distances; key player. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 (6) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of career over 7f/1m but was a dual 1m2f turf winner this summer; possibly not ideally suited by good to soft ground when fifth on last two starts and now only 1lb above last winning mark; respected back on AW. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
A dual 1m winner last autumn; yet to add to that this season and has hindered his cause with very slow starts in 1m handicaps at York and Newcastle on his last two runs; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner (from lower marks) last autumn; couldn't sustain challenge when third at Redcar (1m, good to firm; 28-1) on penultimate start; lost many lengths at the start, toiling in competitive Class 4 at York latest; task isn't insurmountable. |
12/1 |
|
12th 12 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Falling in the weights and ran respectably when third to Rajapour at Redcar on Sunday, but the winner bolted up that day and it's hard to see the tables being turned. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Hanging to his left may have cost him dear when a close fourth behind Barnsnape Boy in a C&D classified event 12 days ago; each-way claims if keeping straighter. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often a front-runner; returns to turf for the first time since winning a 0-60 handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last July but he does appear to face a difficult task on these terms. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
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. |

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. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
All four wins have been on the AW, the last three at Kempton, most recently over 1m in June; another good AW run when second of nine over 1m at Lingfield 23 days ago but has a career-high mark on likely ground he's yet to prove he handles (all three turf runs on good/good to firm). |
11/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four wins have been on the AW, the last three at Kempton, most recently over 1m in June when last seen off a 4lb lower mark; went close here over 7f in April and can be competitive on his return from a 76-day break. |
11/4 |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Justified favouritism in a C&D handicap in April off 5lb lower; beaten a nose at Lingfield later that month and then met trouble in running at Ripon last week; should remain competitive. |

7th 7 (5) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

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. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted. |
15/2 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |

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 |

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 |

Her second run was better than her debut but neither effort pointed to her winning this side of handicaps. |

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. |

Yet to add to his 2yo maiden win in 2024 and this year's form for new trainer has generally been disappointing; not the most obvious answer. |
50/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
1-30; well treated in the pick of last year's form, but his more recent efforts, including four for this yard, suggest a resurgence is needed. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Poor strike-rate and his three runs for his new trainer haven't suggested he was primed to double his tally. |
