1st 5 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his handicaps on AW, winning three at 7f and 1m, but the return to turf is working quite well of late, gaining a first win on the surface at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June then checked in quite a promising run at Sandown (1m, good to firm) since; can be competitive off the same mark. |

Three-time AW scorer at Kempton; opened his turf account in apprentice event under Oliver Carmichael at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) most recently; may remain competitive, back up just 2lb. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

A 1m maiden winner for Ed Walker; no worthwhile form over hurdles or on the Flat (two handicaps) for this operation. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

A fair 1m maiden for Ed Walker; last of 13 for his new yard on his handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f) in February, though, and well held over hurdles at Kempton since. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins for Alice Haynes were on ground slower than good; had lost her way but the signs have been a tad more encouraging for James Owen and she's on a dangerous mark. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Triple winner for Alice Haynes including over C&D; went the wrong way in five runs for Hugo Palmer last season but she reappeared with a creditable third on stable debut at Musseburgh (1m, good) last month; that was off 2lb lower than for her last success and has claims if she can back that up. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced last year and ended the season quietly, but she is 2lb below her last winning mark and, although off six months, she can go well fresh; well worth a market check now starting out for another new yard. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this term; doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; back in form when fourth at Goodwood last month and Jack Callan gets on well with him; yard going well; player. |
5/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
He's 2-5 for this yard, the wins over 1m on good to soft and good to firm; a slow start was no help last time at Thirsk but he might be high in the weights now. |
5/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him. |

8th 4 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Landed seller on final start for Karl Burke at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in February in first-time cheekpieces; headgear absent when fifth of nine at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago on stable debut; cheekpieces back on; stepping up in trip but may need to come down in the weights. |

8lb below his last winning mark and ran respectably when third at Newbury 18 days ago, finishing one place behind Documenting; more appealing than some. |

3rd 5 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
7lb below his last winning mark and didn't run badly when fourth of seven on his third start for the yard at Salisbury (7f, good) nine days ago, but he gave plenty of trouble beforehand; others preferred. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

Completed an AW double last autumn but not in the same form since, latterly back on turf for new stable; hasn't scored in this sphere since 2023 and can be opposed. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won on good and soft ground as a 2yo; nearly added a Newmarket 1m handicap during a light second season and fast ground (for which she's been withdrawn before) was perhaps not ideal when down the field 13 days ago; better expected. |
9/2 |

9th 7 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Dual winning juvenile (maiden/nursery) who was off for 324 days before showing mixed form in three starts from September last year, just failing in Newmarket handicap (1m, good) but lesser shows either side of that; she missed two runs on account of the ground (good to firm) last month; tongue-tie now added; looks on a handy mark. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over this trip last year, twice from the front on turf, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; well held in two runs back but this is less competitive under Billy Loughnane and he may well be able to get his own way in this smaller field; possibilities if so. |
6/1 |

8th 7 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won three 1m handicaps (AW/good) last year and was fourth in an earlier race on this card 12 months ago when the ground was good to soft; the clear negative is complete no-shows in his last three starts. |
13/2 |

11th 10 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won three 1m handicaps (AW/good) last season but he ended his 5yo campaign with heavy defeats over C&D and at Chelmsford; has bit to prove after six months off and he doesn't have a great record when fresh. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Sandown (1m, good) last time, registering a first success on turf; back up 3lb but remains well treated on the pick of his AW form; gained his other wins back-to-back. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has broadly respectable form since returned to turf, notably a good effort behind Dovey Moon; however, still may be more interesting when back on Chelmsford AW; 2-2 there compared to 0-18 elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
7th 11 (11) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins on Chelmsford's polytrack but placed efforts at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) and Salisbury (1m, good) show he's well capable on turf; making headway when clipping heels and unseating his rider approaching the final furlong at Goodwood last week. |
