19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough with a smooth win at Southwell (7f) in October but only sixth of 13 on return visit in November; has a bit to prove now but he's still lightly raced and is feasibly treated on his penultimate run. |
6/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

0-6 but runner-up three times, including when beaten half a length at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) six days ago; that proved his stamina and a major player from the same mark. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

All runs over sprint trips, showing best form when second in a 5f maiden at Leicester in July; some encouragement for this trip on pedigree and he could take a step forward now handicapping. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent last year but won at Musselburgh (7f, good) in August on his third handicap start and wasn't beaten far in fifth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) when last seen; remains lightly raced and could be a contender. |
10/1 |
|
2 (8) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Raised his game when readily seeing off seven rivals in a 7f handicap at Musselburgh in August; short of that level in two runs since and needs to bounce back quickly. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |
7/2 |

1st 1 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |
5/2 |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Debut 7f AW winner who hasn't had many goes in handicaps and has been shaping of late as though this trip could suit; each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4 (3) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning debut in a Southwell novice (7f) one year ago; unplaced in four starts this year and although his latest fifth at Southwell wasn't too bad (form worked out), he will need more to win here. |
8/1 |
|

6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Southwell (7f) in sole 2yo start; regressive RPRs this term; chance of turnaround depends on how well he responds to physical tweak (gelded since last run) and first-time hood. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent maiden who'll find this easier than the handicaps she's contested previously; had plenty of chances now but is fine on Tapeta and is one to consider for a yard also responsible for Perfect Price. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden who was down the field at Musselburgh (7f, good) 18 days ago but that may have come too soon, just two days after her close fourth of 15 at Thirsk (6f, good); stays 7f and might not be far away. |
8/1 |

9th 11 (2) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

0-7; returning from five months off and having her first start since wind surgery when fourth of 15 at Thirsk (6f, good) on Friday; each-way claims if building on that. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Below best at the end of last season and she's 0-12; wears a first-time hood for this return, having worn blinkers then cheekpieces on final two runs last term; on a handy mark on last season's best efforts (including over C&D) and she's not discounted. |
14/1 |

6 (2) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

11-race maiden; started the season in good form but last two runs have been well short of her best; cheekpieces tried after one go in blinkers; handles Tapeta and well drawn to attack but there are risks attached. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came at Thirsk (6f nursery; good to soft) in September 2024; she has been in decent form this year though, runner-up to Keldeo over C&D (Class 5 fillies') in April and pipped on the post in an added visor at Wolverhampton (6f; 13-8 favourite) latest; 2lb higher. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (4) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Four runs in a tongue tie have seen her record formfigures of 2323; now has a visor added but she has been well beaten when tried in cheekpieces in the past. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

One win from 12 starts but she's been back to form since the tongue-tie was fitted, second at Chelmsford and third at Wolverhampton in December before finishing runner-up on her return at Catterick (6f, good) 15 days ago; contender. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season; failed to back that up when sixth there (7f, good) last time and this is his first crack at 6f, but he's not discounted. |

6th 6 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Built on an encouraging AW reappearance when gaining a breakthrough win in 14-runner C&D handicap (good to firm; Mayo County third) 17 days ago; they were quite well strung out in behind (over 4l back to the fourth) so a 3lb rise looks manageable. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has been in good form since cheekpieces went on, winning last two races, over 6f at Chepstow and last time by 0.5l over 7f at Lingfield; up 12lb (5lb rise for last win); contender. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark for James Owen at the 14th attempt when leading late on in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; returning to 7f no problem but a 4lb higher mark in a higher grade does ask more of him. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of near-misses to go with his only win, which came over 7.2f here off a 7lb higher mark last autumn; latest effort can be ignored but the emphasis will be more on speed, running in a sprint for the first time in a while. |
6/1 |
|
10th 10 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 0-12 for current yard but his form over this C&D includes sole success, which was gained off 9lb higher last October, and an encouraging effort (finished second) on Friday; fighting chance provided he belies recent inconsistency. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark with a last-gasp success in a 0-60 at Lingfield in December (7f); two lesser efforts have followed, including C&D, and he looks up against it once more. |
14/1 |
|
11 (10) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Yet to build on his promising debut second (7f, Polytrack); neither handicap run suggests he is the answer here. |
25/1 |
|
7 (7) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Similar type to Impulse Buy, being a four-race maiden who has failed to back up debut effort (close second over C&D); however, the return to this scenario may prompt a resurgent display. |
