30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here. |

Front-running third over C&D last month; ridden more patiently when only fifth behind Persuasion here 25 days ago; up in class and may prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Previously effective on turf but form dipped returned to this sphere last time and he still hasn't scored on grass since his 2yo days; admittedly on a workable mark provided he rebounds. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Spectacular late run to land valuable auction race (6f, good to soft) in October 2024 is starting to fade from the memory but he won his first race since when taking a Wolverhampton handicap in November; narrow defeat at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in February was up with his best form and respectable efforts on last two starts; not dismissed back on turf. |
7/1 |
|
5th 10 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Three turf wins and one on Tapeta (unraced here); posted career-best RPR when going down narrowly on Newcastle reappearance and got little luck in running when under 3l away at Wolverhampton; unraced beyond 7f but he gives the impression that this far could suit. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Running consistently well over 6f/7f on AW this winter and when a close fifth of seven at Lingfield (6f, AW) two months ago it was a tough Class 2; five runs on turf have yielded two wins and this Irish challenger is on the shortlist back down in grade and back on grass. |
10/1 |

5th 7 (3) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |

All four wins have come over further; in good form on AW this winter, most recently finishing a close third at Newcastle (7f; cheekpieces first time) three weeks ago; more on his plate in this grade. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran out the ready winner of a 7f handicap here in January; beaten favourite in two 7f handicaps since and steps up to 1m on a retrieval mission. |
7/2 |
|
8th 4 (10) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who won readily at Lingfield (7f) in January; only fourth when favourite at Newcastle (behind Benacre) since but wasn't disgraced considering he failed to settle; may still have more to offer. |
7/2 |
|
4th 11 (10) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Low-mileage 4yo who scored readily at Lingfield (7f) most recently, opening his account at the fifth attempt; the type to improve further and looks likely to cope with this rise in grade; respected. |

3rd 7 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last summer and he posted three solid efforts on AW during the winter; returns for new trainer after three months off but he's effective on turf and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; dangerous in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored at Southwell on debut for current yard and placed on two occasions since; behind a couple of today's rivals at Newcastle last time; chance partly depends on how well he reacts to first-time blinkers. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (12) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Record is only 1-10 but this return from a 67-day break may be the time to catch him (gained the win when fresh); ran creditably at Kempton (7f) last time. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who went close on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last August and, after three lesser runs on AW, was back on song when 1l third at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 11 days ago; this front-runner can make another bold bid and could be bang there once more. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (13) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Ripon novice in final 2yo run and he started last season with a close call in a Haydock handicap (1m, good to firm); looks interesting on that form but he's had only three runs since and has been well held in all of them; still lightly raced but he needs to turn things around back on turf. |
20/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has progressive turf form; hasn't translated that to AW in two attempts but still early days and it's possible he needed last month's reappearance after wind surgery. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Consistency an issue but he has plenty of ability and he is 5lb lower than when last in action on turf, a race where he chased home a promising sprinter at York (6f, good); below par on AW on last two starts but given a three-month break. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-French 6yo who is 0-11 in Britain (placed four times over 6f); however, has a chance with this drop in class, with Ryan Kavanagh claiming a handy 5lb. |
10/1 |
|
11th 13 (9) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Still seeking a first win for Ian Williams but he has run some fine races in defeat, including over C&D; didn't appear to have any excuses when behind three of today's rivals at Southwell on New Year's Day though. |

Eight-race maiden who proved consistent until form dipped in last two outings; place claims on earlier efforts but needs to rebound. |
12/1 |

8th 3 (8) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

0-7, but was finishing unplaced for the first time when eighth of 11 behind Benacre at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February; cheekpieces removed after one use; needs to bounce back; stable also runs Ziggy's Condor. |
8/1 |

8th 10 (8) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Six-race maiden who is proving consistent; hit with a 5lb rise for Wolverhampton novice effort last time but a first win is possible provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times in Ireland for Mick Mulvany, including at Listowel (1m, heavy) last September; low key in five starts for new trainer, slipping 9lb in the weights - now 1lb below that last winning mark; needs revival on AW return (3-9). |
16/1 |
|
12th 12 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Signed off in Ireland with Listowel win (1m, heavy) last autumn; well held at long odds in four runs (7f-1m2f) for this yard; beginning to fall in the weights but probably best watched unless strong in the market. |
25/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won three on AW at Dundalk (7f-1m) for Mick Mulvany and ended his time for that County Meath handler with a heavy-ground win at Listowel (1m; 13-2) last September; low-key in three starts for Ben Haslam, last of 12 over 1m2f at Doncaster on latest start; mark is beginning to ease. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with. |
4/1 |

7th 13 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Well suited by York and went close there in June; inconsistent otherwise during a 2025 campaign that has been markedly less productive than 2024; cheekpieces refitted for the first time since 2022; opposed. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

None too consistent for current stable and his best efforts in Britain have been on AW; ideally suited by testing ground when trained in France so rain would aid his cause. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gained sole British success in Kempton event in October off 3lb higher; inconsistent otherwise and is by no means certain to back up latest effort (ran respectably). |
