26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-French 4yo who is 1-7 for current connections, easily best of those outings all from off the pace over 2m on Kempton AW; five-day break was blamed when he tailed off on turf (2m, good to firm) on latest outing, but that still leaves him with something to prove. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Ex-French; no questioning his stamina with the form of his last three starts at Kempton (2m, AW) reading 122; has something to prove under these conditions, though. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-16 on the Flat, both wins over 1m4f/1m6f on the AW earlier this year; those were at a moderate level and, while he should stay okay over hurdles, he's unlikely to be good enough here. |
50/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark at Lingfield (1m4f) in January and he scored by 5l at Chelmsford (1m6f) in March; another good effort when runner-up at Kempton but his form nosedived at Lingfield (2m, AW) last time; still unexposed on turf but he has bit to prove back in this sphere after a break; regular cheekpieces are removed. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark here (1m4f) in January and added a Chelmsford handicap victory (1m6f) in March; below-par fifth off 7lb higher mark at Southwell (1m6f) last time though so more is needed here. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Multiple winner, mostly at about 2m and is 1lb higher than when scoring over C&D in March; matched that effort back here next time, before a below-par effort on soft at Haydock latest; will be a player if bouncing back. |
15/2 |

5th 3 (2) |
21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Kempton (2m, AW) in March and solid third there (2m, AW) last month; rarely seen on turf nowadays but he was effective on grass early in his career (particularly on slow ground); visor replaces cheekpieces; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Stuck on a long losing run and has been pretty much tailed off in his last two races (2m4f/3m2f); reduced mark offers some hope. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Has gone 34 races since he last won three years ago but steps up in trip on a career-low mark in this sphere; may well show more. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

On a long losing sequence but returned to some form when back from a break and finishing a 12l third of five over C&D 12 days ago, ridden by Rian Corcoran; respected off 4lb lower. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A five-time winner who was placed over C&D in June but he was beaten 7l that day and hasn't been overly threatening in the meantime. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Second to Golden Flame over C&D (good) before doing some hanging on fast ground at Nottingham; any rain would aid his chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Adaptable regarding ground and tactics; this looks less competitive than the Ffos Las 0-65 in which he finished second last time (hampered; two of these behind) and his claims are obvious. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-36 on the Flat and 2-30 over hurdles after signing off for Paul Flynn with a Punchestown win last October (2m, good to yielding); has been running okay on the AW for this yard; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 2m at Tramore last August for Paul Flynn; yet to reach that form for his new stable, just fourth of five in 1m6f handicap at Southwell 19 days ago; more is required despite an easing mark. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner in Ireland (hurdles/Flat) but he was well held in two starts for this yard at the end of last year; however, he seemed to be going quite well at the top of the straight before weakening into seventh at Kempton (2m, AW) 17 days ago and may take a step forward from that return to action. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Needs to better his recent efforts but is now 4lb lower than when going very close at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May and it's worth remembering he landed this valuable prize last season; dangerous to ignore. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Polytrack winner who scored twice over this trip on turf last autumn; wasn't helped by being pestered for the lead when a well-held third of four at Salisbury (1m,6f, good to firm) last month, but still 3lb above his last winning mark; more will be needed. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gained his most recent success in C&D event (good) last October; best effort this term when going close at Salisbury (1m4f) on penultimate start; not disgraced in higher grade here latest; fighting chance returned to Class 5 and back up in trip. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, coming 22lb down the weights in the past year; a long time since he wore headgear, which is likely fitted more in hope than expectation. |
20/1 |

6th 8 (4) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Veteran who is 1-29 on the Flat and has completely lost his way, including when last of nine (behind two of these) over C&D four weeks ago; opposable from 1lb wrong. |
