20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his 34 starts for Richard Fahey, the latest off this mark at Newcastle in January (6f); sold for 19,000gns last month; capable at this level and the betting should be revealing starting out for Adam Kirby. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning here (6f, AW) in January but he has a mixed record since and was only sixth of nine at Chelmsford last month; this return to 7f is no problem but he needs to get back in the groove. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Two course wins, the latest over this trip last October off a 4lb lower mark; good second two weeks ago and this veteran can make another bold bid. |

He was ending a losing run when scrambling home in a C&D handicap last October; finished lame when down the field here one month later; others are more appealing. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts. |

12th 8 (12) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win in ten starts for current stable but he has been placed in seven of them, including back on turf at Wetherby 13 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); should run his race but this looks a tough race in which to end his losing streak. |
10/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Looked to be coming to the boil when third at Southwell last month but two subsequent turf efforts have been blighted by slow starts; on a dangerous mark but he goes without any accessories and needs to get it right at the stalls. |
16/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |

Disappointing at Catterick on Wednesday when he couldn't get into it after a slow start; he had been threatening something better on AW beforehand and this drop in class can help; hood returns; chance if breaking better. |
7/1 |

5th 6 (5) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

Four 6f wins on good or faster turf; running himself into form on AW for his new yard this winter, most recently keeping on for third in a 0-80 at Southwell three weeks ago; 14lb lower than for his last turf outing; interesting contender. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Far from solid on his form for current yard, raced mostly over 6f and yet to win on turf; enough to prove in this scenario; had wind surgery (his second) since last run. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made a pleasing start for Ivan Furtado when second of 20 at York last May (lower turf mark); struggled since, including back on AW on last two starts, but he steps back up to 6f with cheekpieces added; interesting. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Finished second of 20 on his stable debut/reappearance at York (6f, good) in May, but not built on it in three subsequent starts; won four times on Tapeta late last year including twice here, but they were over 6f and he hasn't raced over 5f since he was a 2yo; enough to prove; stable also runs Nazron. |

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. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

All four wins have been here but over 6f; he appears to stay 7f but had a shocker over C&D last time; that was too bad to be true in fairness. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

All four wins over 6f here, gaining the latest when leading late on 15 days ago; placed a few times at 7f and ought to remain very competitive off only 2lb higher. |

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. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort for current stable when close second at Thirsk (7f) in most recent turf attempt; still nicely handicapped, having recorded both wins (6f) off higher marks; commands respect back down in distance. |
100/30 |

6th 2 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Course winner over 6f in November when trained by Katie Scott; didn't quite get home when third at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) earlier in the month, and ran well when second of 14 at Thirsk (7f, good) five days ago; may be able to go one better. |

Dual AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf. |

11th 14 (12) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

His last win was in October 2024 and he's been well held in most of his runs this year; on reduced mark but this looks tough back up in grade and others are preferred. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on 2024 form; taken a while to find his feet this year after a spell on the sidelines but he retains sufficient ability to play a leading role; will need luck in running back at 5f but suspicion he's ready to run a big race. |

Never threatened when backed into 7-2 on his stable debut at Newcastle (6f) in January but remains one who could click for this yard and it will be interesting to see whether there is money for him again now back on turf after 95 days off. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Made a winning debut (6f, good; strong favourite) at Hamilton as a 2yo and then pitched into the Coventry Stakes for his second start; went 0-7 in handicaps in 2025 but there was the odd promising effort along the way; dropped 15lb during that period and new stable (sold out of Richard Fahey's stable for 32,000gns last October) quick to drop him in trip; could go well. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Campaigned exclusively on AW for current stable; out of sorts since December win; well handicapped on best turf form for previous yard, so has a good chance if the return to this sphere sparks a revival. |
