16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Couple of 6f wins at Brighton last term; proved resurgent over C&D (good to soft) last week, going down by only a whisker; now 2lb lower and due to go back up 6lb in future; leading player. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice here (6f) last year but on a downward trajectory since then; shaped okay here (fifth) on return from a 266-day absence in early September but his more recent AW efforts (6f-7f) have failed to offer further encouragement. |

Scored three times off higher marks last year but has a doubt over current form, having posted two substandard efforts since belatedly returning to action. |

9st 1lb |
Over two years since his last success but he retains some ability and begins life with his new stable off a lowly mark (left Julie Camacho for £7,000 last month); others appeal more. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in June 2023 but that was off 12lb higher at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) and he's run several good races this season; wasn't beaten far with visor added at Southwell last time and he's in the mix back on turf. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (9) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Always had his quirks and again hung left when a beaten-favourite at Southwell last time; usually dropped in and that will likely be the case again from the outside stall, in which case he'll need things to pan out ideally down from 7f. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 on AW but he is fully effective on Tapeta; the step up to 7f didn't yield instant dividends at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he didn't get chance to show his true colours, tight for room inside the final furlong and having to switch right before keeping on steadily; this more spacious track could see him in a better light. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Won four races on turf last year and resumes after an unsuccessful stint on the AW, 2lb lower than when last successful; fascinating contender. |
11/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-18 on AW and can get it wrong at the start; on the plus side, he is dropping into a 0-60 today and you don't have to go back too far to find form that gives him a strong chance. |
11/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Offered more on his second run back from a winter break behind Beauzon on Friday (5lb better off tonight); that made it 0-17 on the AW and there's always a chance he'll fluff the start but he does seem to like it here. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Eight-race maiden who was safely held on first three starts for current stable, most recently when fifth of six over C&D a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely and it's very hard to predict whether the addition of blinkers will have a positive effect today. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
17th Feb 2026 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't proved any more tractable for the addition of a hood on her last two starts, dropping away in handicaps here (8.6f) and at Chelmsford (6f); continues to edge down the weights and the new tongue-tie could help. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Some promise in three handicap runs, including her stable debut last month (8.6f, raced too freely), and this return to 6f should suit; others have more obvious claims though. |

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. |

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 |

9st 9lb |
Won three in a row at Southwell (1m, AW) earlier this year and solid second there (1m) a fortnight ago; he won here in 2024 and holds strong claims if transferring his fine recent form back to turf. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (11) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has been in good form since the turn of the year and completed a C&D hat-trick when pulling clear to record a comfortable success 40 days ago; now steps back up in grade off this 9lb higher mark but he's still fairly treated on his old form. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's won twice at Newcastle (6f, AW) this year and bounced back with a creditable third at Haydock (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was an eye-catching effort from off the pace and he's respected back up in trip. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 11 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
It took a drop into classified company for him to return to winning ways in February (6f, AW; blinkered first time; final run for John Butler); gained a second Newcastle win of the year last month but he raced far too freely back there on Monday; up in class today and likely vulnerable. |
14/1 |
|
10th 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

First-time blinkers saw him return to winning ways in a C&D classified event in February; won C&D handicap on second start for new yard last month; holds strong claims again. |

11th 4 (7) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has failed to back up debut effort in two subsequent starts but this switch to handicap level may prompt a turnaround; bred to do better, being a sibling to five winners. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Shaped well on her debut when sixth of ten at Newbury (7f, good) in April but produced a lesser effort when eighth of nine at Doncaster (7f, good) 25 days ago; drops in distance and she has potential but needs to take a step forward. |

9st 0lb |
Fourth on all four appearances at Brighton; 29 races overall, with both his wins on Southwell AW last March/September; thrown in on that form but he was out of form this winter and on recent return to turf after five months off; others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |

10th 15 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been gained at Southwell (6f/7f) but he was out of sorts there in his final three runs last year; on lower mark back on turf but he's 0-8 in this sphere and has something to prove after five months off. |
20/1 |
|
9 (4) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Respectable fourth over 6f at Brighton last time but shaped as if he ideally needs a return to 7f, which is his usual trip; still has a poor strike-rate. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he was twice a runner-up over C&D last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the second of those efforts; recent runs need bettering if he is to take this though. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it. |
