Resumed winning ways at Thirsk (6f) in May but comes here on the back of a below-par fifth of nine in 6f Pontefract handicap two weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Triple turf winner who made it 3-5 on AW when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f; tongue-tie added) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he beat a clear second last time and he's respected back in this sphere. |
4/1 |

9st 7lb |
Currently 2-3 on Tapeta but he's generally struggled since leaving Karl Burke, his only win coming when allowed his own way in a small field last summer (been dropped in lately); the first-time tongue-tie will need to make a difference. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Several good efforts during her 2yo campaign, including a Wetherby maiden win and close fourth of 15 in a Doncaster (6.5f, good) nursery; looks interesting on that form but she's been out of sorts in both runs this season and needs a major revival. |

May have needed her recent Chester comeback, when never involved over 6f having been easy to back; would want to see some support this time. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Some promise on 6f debut at Ascot (soft) and didn't need to come on a ton to win a 7f Chelmsford AW novice next time; has not looked ahead of his mark in two AW handicaps this year but perhaps he'll do better back at 6f on soft turf. |

6th 7 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Underwent wind surgery not long after winning a Chelmsford novice last September; last of ten off 1lb higher than this on his Polytrack comeback ten days ago and has something to prove in first-time cheekpieces. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrice-raced filly who most recently prevailed in Southwell maiden (6f; kept to AW) on seasonal debut; pedigree suggests she should do better still and prove as effective on turf; respected handicap debutante. |
7/2 |
|
1st 13 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Came away with a subsequent winner, despite needing the experience, on her 6f Newcastle debut last September; didn't look to see out 7f from a wide stall when a beaten favourite on her next start here and retains potential for a yard in good form. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Useful debut run at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last May; turned over at a short price on only subsequent 2yo start but he made some late progress at Salisbury recently when returning from an absence; on a fair mark on handicap debut if debut effort is taken at face value; now tongue tied. |
11/2 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Close second here on last May's debut (5f, good to firm); raced too freely when beaten at odds-on at Nottingham last June; gelded since; not yet exposed and he's one to take seriously back from his absence. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
No impact in two Listed races after winning a fillies' maiden at Ripon (5f, good) for Archie Watson last June; hasn't threatened in three starts on the AW since joining this stable and has been dropped 2lb since last seen 80 days ago; others preferred. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All starts at 5f; no impact in two Listed races after winning Ripon fillies' maiden (good) for Archie Watson last term; sights lowered for this yard but form of three handicap runs on Wolverhampton's AW suggest this extra furlong will need to give her quite the boost. |

Just one win to his name after 26 attempts; dropped 5lb during his 426-day absence but others still bring more pressing claims. |
