7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sprung a surprise at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in February and made it three wins from his last four starts when winning over this C&D 26 days ago; runner-up has won since and this 6yo is a contender off this 3lb higher mark. |
5/2 |

1st 7 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Made it two wins in his last three starts in 7f handicap at Chelmsford 16 days ago; up 4lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

1st 11 (7) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Looks one for in-play punters as the only time he has dominated from the outset resulted in sole success, which was gained at Chelmsford (1m; set fast pace) on penultimate start; unexposed under such tactics. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A fairly useful 7f winner at his best; gambled on for his new yard and and shaped well when second of 11 in 7f Chelmsford handicap 26 days ago, just edged out having been set plenty to do; up 3lb but he can make amends with cheekpieces refitted. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 (8) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of sorts last year for Martin Dunne but was previously a dual winner for Roger Teal, including under Adam Kirby who has recently commenced his training career and now houses this gelding; interesting off reduced mark dropped in class, with a revival possible. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two 7f handicap wins on the AW, the latest over C&D in April under Charlie Tucker, but he was disappointing on the turf track here (7f) since, given that he's handled that test in the past; shade to prove this time. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (9) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to score on turf but last month he recorded his second AW win, at this track (7f); holds claims if he can reproduce his best back on turf. |
9/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Often misses the break and can pull hard, so will always come with risks attached; has resumed in good form, though, latterly behind a couple of subsequent winners at Chelmsford, and is quite capable off this mark if things fall his way. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
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. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
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 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

3rd 1 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Mostly campaigned on AW but he's now 2-9 on turf having landed C&D classified (good to firm) in June and Lingfield handicap (7f, good) last Tuesday; took advantage of a golden highway that day but did well to pick his way through from the rear and he's respected under a 5lb penalty (1lb well in). |
7/4 |
|
1st 7 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice on the AW at Chelmsford in January over 7f; outpaced on his return to turf here (5f, good to firm) ten days ago until staying on well for fourth; back to a more suitable distance and not out of this. |
11/2 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
In good form in the depths of winter, winning two 7f handicaps at Chelmsford; edging back down the weights after some below-par runs but returning to 5f, even in a race that is highly likely to be run at a fast pace, is unlikely to revive his fortutnes. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

His fourth win (Brighton last September) temporarily halted a downward trajectory but he hasn't been placed since; best to look elsewhere. |

7th 8 (9) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Scored off 3lb higher on turf in September; however, far from consistent otherwise for current stable, latterly at Lingfield since returned to AW; well weighted but isn't a solid option. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Hurled in on what he achieved as a 3yo and belatedly returned to form when a length winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f; backed into 9-2); raised just 3lb and he has form here. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thrown in on his 3yo form but he has gone the wrong way in a hurry and a wind operation last November hasn't arrested the slide; drops into his first 0-55 and has a good apprentice booked so a revival isn't completely out of the question. |
8/1 |

14th 7 (14) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

5th 4 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

9st 5lb |
Four wins (one on turf) include two at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) for Ivan Furtado; tried this headgear combination for the first time when fourth back there (5f) last month and subsequently joined this yard for 2,000gns; acts with ease in the ground and nothing wrong with this mark. |

4th 5 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won two 6f handicaps here last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the latter win; more recent efforts leave him with a point to prove but the fitting of a tongue-tie could give him a lift and Silvestre De Sousa is a positive booking. |
7/1 |

9th 1 (5) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Raced freely, switched from cheekpieces to a first-time visor, and didn't see out 7f last time; a 2lb drop for that sees this dual C&D last autumn back on a workable mark; each-way claims. |

Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better. |
