20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Usually apprentice ridden but Jude Fernandes rides him for the first time; 6lb lower than when winning at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) last June; he has not beaten many in his four starts this season, coming last in a four-runner race last time, but can't be dismissed and the hood he often wore last term (and first run this year) is reinstated. |

4lb lower than when winning over this trip at Sandown (good to firm) last summer, but heavy defeats in his last four outings leave him with plenty to prove. |

Finished last of six at Ripon on stable/seasonal debut but is interesting assuming he's back in better form with the outing under his belt; dual winner off higher marks at Chester; check the betting, |
14/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Well handicapped on his Chester win (1m4f, good) last May but he's 0-10 since and was well held in his final five runs for Ian Williams; returns after 200 days off and he needs to get back on track for new yard. |
14/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Good second off this mark in better race over C&D on Derby day, having scored at Chester the time before; not in the same form since and suffered a heavy defeat last Sunday. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Acts on soft; can make the running; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October, including over C&D in September in both the Jump Jockeys Derby (soft) and Apprentices' Derby (good); recent run over 2m at Goodwood should have teed him up nicely for what could be a plan from last year's winning yard; considered. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on soft; can make the running; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October; soundly beaten over hurdles on latest three outings (in tough races on last two) and unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat, but he can't be comfortably dismissed in this small field. |
2/1 |
|
18th 16 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Has set the pace in small fields; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October, the final leg in a conditions event at this track; soundly beaten on both starts since (admittedly no chance in Grade 1 latest) and unraced beyond 2m1f, leaving him with plenty to prove in this search for a big career best. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Successful three times in May/June but his progress has seemingly come to an end; admittedly may benefit from this drop back in grade after a couple of Class 3 defeats. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In good form on turf until folding tamely and well held last time; consistent in defeat on AW (four attempts) but he's 9lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |
16/1 |
|
3 (3) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won three times this season (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm/good) and again ran well when third of five at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Much respected on his form for Alan King, for all that he was 1-22 for that yard; following a 30,000gns sale he ran okay over C&D on last month's stable debut, but no more than that. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win (22 races) was on AW in June 2024; five seconds on turf and bang there on AW (1m3f/1m4f) on last two starts before 30,000gns sale (left Alan King) in April, but this is the first time he's gone beyond that on Flat. |
12/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win in 1m2f Lingfield AW handicap nearly two years ago; has been running well since back on AW of late but it's pushing it to call him well handicapped in this competitive race. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f) with a close third in between; they were all on AW in March/April under Olivia Tubb and he's not raced since, with turf runs in the last two years hinting that he's not quite so good in this sphere; also, the last time he raced on firmer than good was 2022. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His first seven wins were all gained over 1m4f/1m3f, with the latest of those last October, but he then made all under Olivia Tubb in a six-runner race over C&D 13 days ago; that win was by a neck and he's been raised 2lb since, but a wide draw complicates today's task. |

9st 7lb |
Six-time winner, with four at Windsor (11.4f) and two on Polytrack (1m2f/2m); her last success was off 2lb higher last autumn but she's been disappointing in last two runs and needs to get back on track. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has six wins, the latest at Windsor (11.5f, good) last September off this mark; has run respectably since and has won over 2m but needs a true test to be fully effective. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent mare who scored three times at Windsor (11.5f) last term and has posted two creditable efforts at Lingfield (latest over 2m) this year; C&D record reads 312; solid claims. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
With tongue-tie enlisted he's hit major new heights for new yard this year, with two wins preceding his excellent fifth of 15 in the 2m2f Chester Cup; comes from off the pace but never got seriously involved wearing first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 20 as second favourite in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m); needs to bounce back from that pretty disappointing show. |
11/2 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
With tongue-tie enlisted he's hit major new heights for new yard this year; started it with wins from off the pace at Newcastle (2m, AW) and Musselburgh (1m6f, soft), both in some style, before his excellent fifth of 15 from out the back in the 2m2f Chester Cup; a bit slow to find his stride that day and cheekpieces now go on; more to give if he takes to them, so a major player. |
8/1 |
|
5th 12 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Led on the post here for the first of two 1m4f wins last summer for Gemma Tutty and, with tongue-tie enlisted, hit major new heights for new yard this year with his wins from off the pace at Newcastle (2m, AW) and Musselburgh (1m6f, soft); raised another 9lb, which demands more, but those last two wins were delivered in some style and he has to be considered seriously. |

9st 5lb |
Sole success came over 1m4f here (for Barry Brennan) in March 2024; in decent nick for his current yard, staying on into fourth of nine at Newbury (1m3f) 15 days ago so not ruled out back up in trip. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |

0-20 in handicaps and was behind Grey Fox when last of eight at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month; down the pecking order. |
20/1 |

8th 8 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Not disgraced on his first start since wind surgery when fourth of seven at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March, but is just 1-23 and hasn't threatened in just four outings on turf. |
15/2 |
