27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improving type who completed a 6f AW hat-trick at Lingfield this winter; just his second run on turf when last of 17 in 5f Ascot handicap last month, but poorly drawn there and not out of things. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
His first three starts saw him well beaten over 7f but he has not looked back since dropped to 6f, winning seven times and placed on his other three runs; could only manage second at Chelmsford five weeks ago but the horse to beat him is now rated 17lb higher and that shouldn't be used as evidence he is in the handicapper's grip; more to prove back on turf and at a new trip but few arrive in better form. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Justified favouritism in Class 5 event at Kempton last time, taking record this year to 3-3 and overall strike-rate over 6f on AW to 7-9; he is 1-1 at Chelmsford; progressive sort who brings excellent stats and commands respect upped further in grade. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford in November and adding C&D wins on her next two starts; met trouble in her bid for a four-timer here 16 days ago; needs a career best to defy this mark but it is not out of the question. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Turf win (6f, good to firm) last summer; improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford (6f) in November and adding two C&D handicaps since; 5lb rise for latest win against fillies asks a stiffer question of her but foolish to discount in her current form. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins have come over 5f but he has won three times over 6f, including around here; held lately, but he drops to this level for the first time in over two years and is 4-9 in 0-60 handicaps or lower; interesting. |
7/1 |

11th 11 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner who went close at Lingfield (5f) in March and ran well there over 6f in April, finishing third of five (beaten a length); never got involved there 28 days ago but he could go well returned to 6f. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who came close to ending a losing AW run when a fast-closing runner-up here (5f) in March (5f); returns to this C&D for the first time since and ought to go well if the race falls his way. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has extended his losing sequence in three attempts for new yard but is interesting off current mark back at Lingfield, assuming he takes well to added blinkers; three-time course winner (AW/turf). |
9/4 |

11th 10 (5) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has a course win (5f) amongst his seven wins but the latest was back in May 2025; two respectable turf runs for Des Donovan and he's one to consider. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Consistency wasn't his strong suit for his former yard and his recent stable debut was hardly chock full of promise; drops in grade but comes with risks attached. |
20/1 |

10th 9 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made it tenth-time lucky when scoring over C&D for Joseph Parr in December, but held in all three starts since; makes his stable debut after six months off having changed hands for 4,400gns in February; watch market. |

Back to form with a 6f win at Southwell in December but he has followed it with two lesser efforts; tries new headgear this afternoon. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Close second at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March when 5lb higher; however, unable to replicate that form across his three starts since and he's won just one of his 17 outings. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Sole success came when trained by Charlie Fellowes in 2024; continues to plummet in the weights and others are preferred. |

2yo win came over 7f and he's regressed since joining this yard; ran well down to this trip in March (AW) but typically failed to back it up next time and has been off for a few months since. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seven wins on the AW elsewhere; surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten half a length into second of five at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and a 1lb rise still leaves him 6lb below his last winning mark; shortlisted. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins in 2025 include one over C&D; has shaped as if back in form on his last two starts, including when a front-running second of five at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; should go well. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins in 2025, including C&D, but rather going through the motions this time around; showed a bit more spark with his front-running sixth at Kempton in May; on a manageable mark and the type to come good again soon. |
