17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive last year, with the second of his two AW wins coming over C&D in December; this is his first run of the year but he has to be of interest. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went very close in a Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) last November but after being gelded, he's had two heavy defeats in handicaps (1m2f/1m4f) this season; still unexposed but he needs a major revival with visor now tried. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best two efforts from five starts have been on AW and he's been off since finishing last of six in a class 3 at Doncaster (1m2f, good; beaten 24l) in March; drops in grade and steps up in trip with a bit to prove. |

9st 10lb |
Of his five AW wins, two have come at this track, one over today's distance; respectable third at Chester (2m, good) on his reappearance in May but needs to be at the top of his game here as he is 5lb above his last winning mark. |

10st 0lb |
Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returning to the Flat for the first time this year when the race was voided at Wolverhampton; he was 50-1 that day. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returns to the Flat for the first time this year after a couple of runs over hurdles; down to a career-low mark and has had wind surgery but others are preferred. |
25/1 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat; lightly raced in this sphere and made an encouraging start for his new stable after eight months off when fifth of ten in 2m3f Warwick novice 40 days ago; can take a step forward on his handicap debut with cheekpieces added. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Out of her depth in Listed company at Pontefract (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but suggested she retains ability after returning from another lengthy absence in March; return to a longer trip may suit and respected down in grade. |
5/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't won since landing a Doncaster novice in July 2024 but has been fairly consistent in handicaps; out of her depth in a Listed contest at Pontefract last time but should run her race here. |
7/1 |

9th 3 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has fairly useful figures but an underwhelming strike-rate and this is the most difficult task of her career (has the worst chance at the weights); fifth in the Thirsk handicap won by Brielle most recently. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Bit to prove on softer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; made most when well beaten trying 2m4f in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago but has a competitive mark in this Class 4. |
3/1 |

6th 14 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Not proven on firmer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; has a competitive mark and possibilities going beyond 2m, but this is also a better race. |
10/1 |
|
5 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won back to back over 2m for Emma Lavelle last autumn and ran well to make the frame despite racing freely in a couple of Goodwood handicaps in May; one wonders if the drop back in trip will play to his strengths on stable debut but he makes greater appeal than most of these. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win at Nottingham at about 1m (good) in April 2025 but he has C&D form and a close call with Zachary Hickes at Yarmouth (about 1m3f, good to firm) for new yard puts him in this picture; may well improve further even though he's not obviously ahead of his mark on past efforts. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came over 1m in April 2025; in good form this season before his form dipped when fifth of ten in 1m4f Epsom handicap last month; latest race was voided and he's left Richard Hughes since; very much one to consider in a change of headgear for his new yard. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |

Sole success came in April 2025 when trained by Darryl Holland; has performed with credit on several occasions since, resulting in him being still 6lb higher than his winning mark; place claims. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Edging back down the weights and now 3lb higher than for the latest of two wins over 1m6f last September; wore cheekpieces in a void race last month, but this is effectively his first start in them; shortlisted. |
8/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Has three wins on turf but has gone off the boil on his last two starts; swaps a visor for first-time cheekpieces on AW debut; not out of this but new headgear needs to have an impact. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |

Won twice over this sort of trip in September but was not quite in same form in two four-runner races last month and needs to up his game. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
All six wins have been on AW, the latest over C&D last November off 3lb lower; not so good on turf but was runner up at Carlisle (1m6f, good) last Tuesday which holds her in good stead for this return to AW. |
13/2 |

2nd 4 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A three-time AW scorer (at up to 1m6f) in 2025; largely in good form this season and recorded a solid third of 11 over C&D in June; not out of things after a break. |
13/2 |
