13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A three-time course scorer (latest over C&D in June) and he wasn't disgraced after a near three-month lay-off when a close tenth in 1m4f handicap here last month; he can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Campaigned only on AW; strike-rate of 5-9 since handicapping and latest performance (in June) took his record in middle-distance events at Kempton to 3-3; good claims. |
7/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Needs to bounce back from a poor effort at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last time but he was stuck out wide that day and was in good form previously; 2-2 over 1m4f at this track and should cope with this slightly shorter trip. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win in April; respectable fifth of nine off this mark at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win five weeks ago; one concern is that he was below form last September on his only run at this track. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame in six of his eight starts since returning to the AW last September, but his losing run is mounting yet he remains 8lb above his last winning mark; others more compelling. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-12 and most of his form is over middle distances; however, looks a possible danger at this level provided he's suited by returning to 1m for first time since debut. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up last July-October on three of his first four starts for this yard and he again finished second on this month's reappearance at Thirsk (1m4f, good), albeit no match for the winner; he could build on that latest effort and is not discounted. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Sixth career run when the odds-on winner for a 1m2f maiden for previous yard; bar one blip, he's been thereabouts in his handicaps for James Owen and this slightly longer trip is worth a go. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally kept away from fast ground but won easily on good to firm over 1m2f here for Olivia Tubb early in the month; retains most of her ability for a yard enjoying a good spring but she's often come to hand early in the past and a 7lb rise will test her. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Registered his seventh win when scoring on reappearance at Newbury (1m2f, good) last year and he attracted support before finishing second to an unexposed sort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on recent comeback this time; might not come on a bundle for that but this trip is more suitable and he's in with an each-way chance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Seven wins include five off higher marks than this and one at this track (1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in 2023; this trip might be on the short side but he went close on his reappearance in 2024 (1m2f) and scored off 2lb higher on his comeback last term (1m2f); not readily dismissed. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
No win since May 2024 when trained by Sir Michael Stoute (below form last year for Kevin Ryan) but second of 14 off almost a career-low mark at Musselburgh (1m4f, good; under Zak Wheatley) one month ago was easily his most competitive show since; back up 2lb and needs to build on that revival. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No win since May 2024 when trained by Sir Michael Stoute; below form last year for Kevin Ryan, followed by a 22,000gns sale in October; he's 23lb below his peak mark but the tide needs to turn. |
25/1 |
|
5 (3) |
13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he comes here on the back of a solid fifth of nine in 1m2f handicap at Pontefract 18 days ago; he can make his presence felt from a slipping mark with cheekpieces added. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
20/1 |
|
11th 2 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f/1m5f here and Taryn Langley gets on well with him, but he has never attempted this far before and he must put an uncharacteristically poor effort at Newcastle 13 days ago behind him. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Reliable 6yo, who won three times (1m4f/1m5f) during a busy spell this winter and he ran another solid race when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last Friday; should go well again on this drop back in trip and he's respected with Hollie Doyle booked. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Windsor (1m2f, good) for William Haggas last August; struggled on first two runs for new yard but returned to form when second of seven back at Windsor (11.5f, good) 12 days ago; first-time cheekpieces go on now. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won here (1m2f, good) for William Haggas last August but that was off 4lb lower and he's struggled in two runs for new yard this season; has plenty to prove and overall record is now 1-15. |
14/1 |
|
10th 9 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Underwhelming fifth of six on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW), but he was wide early and may have needed the run; progressive on turf last season for William Haggas and he could tap back into that promise and play a leading role today. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Hurdle winner in December but well short of that level over hurdles and in one Flat run this year; down in the weights but with a point to prove. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Opened his account in Doncaster juvenile hurdle (2m) in December; well below par subsequently though, back on the Flat when tenth at Doncaster 22 days ago; change of headgear now tried. |
25/1 |

10th 8 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles here (good to soft) in December but has disappointed since, including back on the Flat (2m, AW) last week; it remains to be seen whether this drop back in trip improves matters. |

9st 1lb |
Scored twice over 1m on the AW in the winter and she's knocking on the door again, a clear runner-up in 14-runner handicap over C&D 19 days ago; a likely player nudged up 1lb. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won Southwell novice in January then made successful handicap debut at Newcastle (also 1m, Tapeta) the following month; back in form when just failing in first-time cheekpieces at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; new trip looks well worth a go; player. |
