30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Seen more often on the AW (3-21) than on turf (1-7); back off his last winning mark, but needs to improve on his last couple of efforts. |
13/2 |

8th 2 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in February; wasn't far off that level in next three runs but his form slumped at Lingfield three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for last success but he needs to bounce back on this return to turf. |

7th 2 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored off 2lb lower over C&D in February and has remained in good form, most recently when fourth of 15 on turf (8.3f, good) three weeks ago; ought to be on the premises again. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three AW wins at 1m and 7f in midwinter and he wasn't too far off his best at Wolverhampton recently but his two turf runs, most recently at Yarmouth in May, leave him with some questions hanging. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won three times on the Lingfield Polytrack (7f/1m) during the winter and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but not at his best lately; others more solid. |
16/1 |

7th 5 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins at Lingfield (7f-1m) over the winter; his form has cooled more recently and he returns to turf (well held in one attempt) with a point to prove; can blow the start. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

C&D winner but below par of late, beating one in 1m handicap here two weeks ago; it's now 13 starts since that victory too. |
9/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Regularly on the premises but he has just one win (over 7f on this course) from 18 attempts, and first-time cheekpieces failed to galvanise him over 6f here last time. |
15/2 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well on his first three starts for this stable but last week's Wolverhampton effort was disappointing; connections now turn to cheekpieces. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Career best when making all in Newcastle classified (1m) last month; hasn't matched that in three subsequent starts but he lost a shoe when back in a classified last time; probable contender with Billy Loughnane taking over. |
7/1 |
|
5th 10 (3) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark in classified event at Newcastle (1m) in February and has continued in good form, fourth in 1m handicap there ten days ago; big shout at these weights. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Opened his account in classified event over C&D in February and not discredited back in handicap company when fourth of nine at Lingfield (1m) 13 days ago; possibilities despite 3lb weights rise. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Perhaps handled the good to soft ground better than his rivals when a clearcut winner at Bath last time and shot up 8lb for that; effective here under these conditions but new mark is a worry. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; consistent this season with the exception of his penultimate run, but bounced straight back from that three weeks ago at Brighton (1m, good to firm) and the runner-up ran well this week; 2lb higher. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Out of sorts over hurdles this summer; kept on well over 6f here on his return to the Flat two weeks ago and this trip should suit better; longstanding maiden though and others appeal more; comfortably held in the 8.15 Kempton Monday. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (11) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
17-race maiden; pulled-up (always behind) when returning from wind surgery over jumps at Cartmel (2m1f; 66-1) recently; nothing to suggest he'll prove competitive over 6f on first Flat appearance since March. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
12-race maiden who was well held in a novice hurdle last time but he finished runner-up in a Southwell handicap (1m3f, AW) on his penultimate run; returns after five months off but he needs checking in market back in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
4th 8 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Tailed off in all three runs over hurdles; also a maiden on the Flat, though was runner-up in a 1m3f AW handicap on final run in March; others are preferred. |
40/1 |

2nd 3 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Maiden who has raced mainly over 1m; ran respectably from the front at Kempton most recently; doesn't appear to be crying out for this return to a middle distance. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't gone on since making an encouraging debut when fourth at Lingfield (1m, AW) last April; steps up in trip and hood worn last time is persevered with. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (11) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't gone on since making an encouraging debut when fourth at Lingfield (1m, AW) last April; eighth of nine on handicap debut back there (1m) last month and first-time hood is now applied. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (5) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Encouraging debut over C&D last April; two heavy defeats over 1m2f followed; not obviously thrown in for her handicap debut/return from eight-month absence but Rossa Ryan is booked and she needs a close market check. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Finally got off the mark on just his second run for his new yard in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in August; backed it up with a very good second of 12 at Bath (1m2f) 16 days ago; weighted to go well nudged up 1lb. |
5/2 |

2nd 6 (12) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Bettered underwhelming stable debut when keeping on well for narrow win in Lingfield classified (1m2f, AW) last month; still unexposed over this trip and has good claims if able to transfer that form to turf. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton as a 2yo; struggled badly in handicaps, including his stable debut (1m, good) two weeks ago; now drops into a 0-50 classified for the first time but his stamina isn't assured and there are risks attached. |
20/1 |
