24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Solid form in victory and defeat this year for James Owen; left that yard for 5,000gns and he made a quiet debut for current connections in May. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Two AW wins at Wolverhampton and he went close over 7f in February in sole course start; not yet hit his stride in two runs for new yard back from a break though and returns from another one today. |
16/1 |

9th 11 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins on AW and his turf form leaves him with more to prove; can build on recent stable debut but others look stronger for win purposes. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not easy to win with but he has a C&D win on his record and he didn't run badly here on his penultimate start; usually worth taking on. |
10/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins from 23 starts include one here over 7f at April; left the impression he's still in form after missing the break here over 7f last week but he's been well beaten in two previous tries over 1m; stamina to prove. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Does a lot wrong in his races (often misses the break and/or pulls too hard) but he has two 7f AW wins to his name, including off this mark over C&D in April; others are more appealing this time. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
All five wins have been on AW at Lingfield and she's finished third there (7f/1m) twice last month; 0-15 on turf and she beat only one rival home at Sandown (1m, good) two weeks ago. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins have been on AW at Lingfield and she's finished third there (7f/1m) in her last two runs; 0-14 on turf but she had some placed form at Windsor last summer and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; not ruled out |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been at this track, with one coming over C&D, the most recent coming off 1lb higher in February; can miss the break, just as she she did when keeping on into third here over 7f last time, but drops in grade and makes the shortlist. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since August 2024 and he wasn't in much form when last seen; drops into 0-60 company and worth a market check. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not beaten far on his last two starts but he has still finished down the field; drops in class today but others arrive in better form. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Bits of form last year that bring him into the reckoning off his reduced mark; return to 1m may help but others appeal more for win purposes. |
