Didn't show much at a big price in sole 2yo run and same story when last of six on recent stable debut at Thirsk (1m, good). |

All eight wins have come here, five over this trip including in a 0-55 handicap six weeks ago; 1-1 at this level and very much respected. |

All eight wins have been at this track (five over C&D) but has been below his best this year and doesn't look ready to strike. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
A 7f AW winner as a 2yo but just minor form in handicaps at 6f to 1m6f for this yard since April 2025; others are much higher up the list. |

7f AW win as a 2yo for Philip Makin; generally struggled for current stable though and steps up markedly in distance with a point to prove. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
4yo who had five runs for Charlie Fellowes last year and she found improvement when a strong-finishing third in a Kempton handicap (7f) in October; looks interesting on that form but that is her standout effort and she failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Kempton (1m; tongue-tie added) in March; comes with risks attached after another break. |

4yo who had five runs for Charlie Fellowes last year and she found improvement when a strong-finishing third in a handicap here (7f) in October; on same mark on return for new yard and she's an interesting contender on this step up to 1m; tongue-tie added. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Struggled in two bumpers (wore eyeshields) in the autumn and three subsequent AW novice races (7f-9.4f; no headgear); had refitted eyeshields and first-time blinkers when 150-1 and beaten 8l in Newcastle classified (1m, Tapeta) last month; still fairly early days. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Struggled in two bumpers (wore eyeshields) in the autumn and three subsequent AW novice races (7f-9.4f; no headgear); has more realistic chance to get competitive in this basement grade but still makes very limited appeal; sports refitted eyeshields and first-time blinkers. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five turf wins at 6f-7f, the latest two over the latter trip on this track; he's had some excuses for low-key reappearances in the past but it's still a stretch to expect him to be on song for this one. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he didn't shine back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and that took his overall record to 1-28; mixed messages. |
33/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win from 27 starts but that came at Lingfield (7f) in January and he's finished a close third there in last two starts; remains feasibly treated off same mark as last time but he still has something to prove on turf and his best form has been at 7f. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Favourite when last of five on handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, soft) in September and was down the field at Southwell (6f, AW) next time; off 238 days since and has blinkers added for her reappearance. |
25/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Modest form in three novice runs at up to 7.4f; strong favourite for her nursery debut at Chepstow three weeks ago (1m, soft) but she never landed a blow, eventually finishing last of the five runners; now reverts to sprinting on her AW debut. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Poor form in four runs for Archie Watson last year; the new hood needs to make a big difference on her seasonal and stable debut. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Has weak claims on form but may take a step forward now qualified for a mark; one of two handicap newcomers for this yard and the betting may offer further guidance. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

12-race maiden but she was placed in her two runs last month, both on Tapeta (1m and 7f); more to prove on turf but further progress can't be discounted. |
