28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |

C&D winner on his stable debut in January; unable to build on that effort in three runs in January; others are preferred for win purposes. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
First two wins at 6f but it was only a matter of time before she won over 7f and was a clear winner over this C&D recently (good; fourth has won big-field York race since); up 5lb but on the crest of a wave. |
4/1 |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins at 6f, including Pontefract handicap (good; first start after wind surgery) in April; ran well over 7f when second at Musselburgh in June but was below her best over this trip at Chester 19 days ago; just 1lb lower. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice at Yarmouth last season; returned with a good third at Yarmouth in April off a 13lb higher mark; subsequent efforts less persuasive and he was well beaten as favourite on his only visit to Brighton. |
8/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner last year; yet to hit top gear this season but returns to more suitable trip after last month's 6f run and has slipped to a tempting mark; could be dangerous under Oisin Murphy. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Better effort when fourth of ten at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) this month and now 2lb below his last winning mark, but he is just 1-42 in Britain. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Low-key run at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; return to a longer trip is in his favour but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
11th 12 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Lingfield (1m, AW) in January; up and down since that success and could prove vulnerable back sprinting. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, the most recent coming off this mark at Kempton (7f, AW) in March, and he ran a solid race when fourth of eight at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; each-way contender. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his record to 6-16 when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well below form in three subsequent runs; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs to get back on track |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March on his reappearance but he's been below that level in both starts since, including at Newbury three weeks ago; drops in grade but others have stronger claims. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won his maiden over C&D as a 2yo for Amanda Perrett; turned in three poor efforts earlier this year, back from a lengthy absence, before being sold for 1,200gns in May; hard to recommend. |
50/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
First and second in two 7f novices at Lingfield the winter before last, but having been off for a year, he's trailed home last in 1m/7f handicaps (tried a hood and blinkers last time); makes turf debut with lots to prove. |
