14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His sole turf win was in 2023 but he was good third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) last time; headgear is now removed but he should go well again off unchanged mark. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort; one of his three wins came over C&D early last year and he has become well handicapped, while he ran his best race since joining Adam Kirby when third of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; should be bang there with a repeat; visor returns. |

No turf win since July 2023; ran respectably (fifth) on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) in May and has had excuses since, including when stumbling and unseating his rider at the start at Goodwood on Wednesday; 3lb below last winning mark (AW), and with a 5lb claimer booked. |

In good form on the AW at Newcastle early in 2026; had been off for four months and was very slowly away when 13th of 21 in 6f York handicap last month; can take a step forward here. |

Didn't run badly in the corresponding race 12 months ago when an unconsidered 50-1 shot (after nine months off); running well on AW when last seen but this veteran may find a few stronger this time. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Better on AW than turf so two defeats on the grass aren't especially damaging to his claims here; won easily at Wolverhampton (5f) on his most recent start and he is respected back on Tapeta. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Wasn't winning out of turn when taking a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in May; didn't get the clearest run at Chester three weeks ago but that took his turf record to 0-11; others are more appealing. |

C&D win last April came off a 5lb higher mark; good second at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but unable to back it up at Southwell one week later (both 7f); chance if back to his best. |

8th 10 (7) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in April; now 2lb lower and no problem with the return to 7f, but he needs to fare better than in his last three starts. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this summer, the latter gained over C&D; not beaten far when eighth of 20 in competitive Ripon handicap (6f, good) last month but he's not as good as he was, and has a double-digit draw; others preferred. |
12/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Took a while to exploit his drop in the weights but he won at Doncaster in July and went in again at Southwell nine days ago; 4lb higher in a better race but he has the rail draw to help. |

1st 2 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Won at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) last month and runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) next time, splitting a well-treated winner and a next-time-out scorer; well beaten at York last time but was scuppered by a high draw; third over C&D in April and could be involved. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Easily capitalised on a reduced mark at Chester (7f, good) last month and he's made all over this C&D on both starts since (good to firm); this 5yo is up to a career-high mark but has never been better and could prove tough to catch once more. |

1st 1 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

A four-time 6f AW scorer in 2025; built on earlier promise to gain a first turf victory in 7f Chester handicap a week ago, making all and drawing right away last 1f for 8l success; major shout under a 5lb penalty. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Has done all his winning on Newcastle AW; however, finished a good second over C&D most recently and is due to go back up 1lb in future; holds a fighting chance in his attempt to go one better. |

2nd 9 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Five-time AW winner, the latest (May) his first over 7f; still seeking a first turf success but his two best runs on the grass came over C&D last summer; not discounted. |

13th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and he could only manage a midfield finish here (7f, soft) on last month's stable debut; dropping down the weights but others are stronger. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate; eventually lost his form during spring spell with James Owen and was sold for 2,200gns since last run; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has been threatening for his current yard this spring but a couple of expensive defeats latterly; goes back to the visor from blinkers and, while capable off this mark, his strike-rate doesn't inspire. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed signs of a revival when fourth in a handicap at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) and a slow start was no help at Chester (stays 7f); only 2-35 but he's not without a chance. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip. |

4th 10 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

No win since October 2024 (Newcastle); weakened quickly on turf return at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; the only real glimpse of life this year was when a never-nearer fourth at Southwell (5f; 25-1) in February; stablemate of East Tyrone. |
