22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won on turf in 2021 and his last AW win was in April 2024; on a career-low mark but ran moderately last time. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained sole turf success in 2021 and it's two years since last AW win; 0-5 for current stable but he could strip fitter for his Beverley reappearance a fortnight ago. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins and a second to her name in three runs here, all over C&D; slid to a dangerous mark now, being 8lb lower than when last successful, but she's lost her way this year; soft ground ideal, so the more rain the better for her. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner from 32 starts, the latest success coming at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft) last August; below her best in three starts this year and this drop back to 6f isn't certain to suit, but she is back on a handy mark. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A dual winner over the extended 7f at Ffos Las (good/soft) last August; made an encouraging return when fifth over 7f at Kempton in March but well held back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
1m turf winner (soft/good to firm) who is 1-16 on AW (won over 1m on Polytrack); unexposed over 7f but to have a serious chance he'll need to raise the bar based on his last four starts. |
40/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Handicapped to win and although his form-figures are uninspiring, there have been some mitigating factors; the race wasn't run to suit him at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and he's worth another chance. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the boil since finishing second off a 4lb higher mark over C&D in February but he's been running in sprints latterly; this is easier than he's used to and he ought to fare much better back from a short break. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-race maiden whose encouraging turf form includes a good second in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster; close fifth to Arkenstaar, despite traffic issues, at Pontefract last week; clear possibilities off same mark. |
9/2 |
|
9 (2) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Only had three races and the close second at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) is the standout run; bit risky. |
8/1 |
|
4 (4) |
17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not without some promise on her belated debut over C&D in June and took a step forward when beaten half a length into second of 14 at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft; 66-1) last month; one for the shortlist. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW; didn't look straightforward without usual hood or tongue-tie (back on here) when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; two things in his favour here are that he is the only distance winner in the field and this represents a drop in grade, so he needs to be considered seriously. |
11/8 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Rarely seen on turf and below best since a close call on AW before Christmas but he had swamped his rivals at Redcar (1m, good) last September and was seriously hampered on the Rowley course after; weighted to go well and respected; usual aids missing but two wins minus headgear in 2025. |
8/1 |
|
8th 13 (2) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1m turf win last September off 4lb lower; in and out since, often conceding ground at the start, but Ryan Kavanagh takes off a valuable 5lb; below his best in one Kempton appearance. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Comfortably made all over C&D and made most at Wolverhampton (8.6f; also last year); two weak finishes in 2026 and fellow front-runner Post Rider could spoil his chance here. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (11) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last year, the latter on Tapeta (8.6f) in November; also effective on turf but made a low-key reappearance last month and needs that run to have brought him on. |
20/1 |
|
10th 10 (2) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won two handicaps in the second half of last year, including at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November; that was in a tight four-way finish but he's only 2lb higher on his return and still has scope for further progress; needs a close look. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 18th attempt over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago off 3lb lower on his second run for this yard, with Jake Dickson aboard him; needs to come on again in this higher grade. |
100/30 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
17-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway on his stable/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; was only beaten around 4l in that race and he could be dangerous back up in trip and down in grade; cheekpieces reapplied. |
11/2 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
16-race maiden who was far from disgraced in a brief spell with Denis Quinn, including when beaten a fraction over 3l despite not getting much luck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last time; career-low mark and this return to 1m and turf is no problem on his stable debut. |
