30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Recent form includes a turf success but he's only 1-19 in this sphere and still has a much better strike-rate on AW; below par at Brighton last time. |
3/1 |

5th 3 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific AW winner; off the mark on turf with a last-gasp success at Goodwood (5f, good) last month; would have finished hot on the heels of Moulin Booj at Windsor last time but for meeting late interference; in the mix again. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't have to improve to make a winning stable debut at Leicester in July (5f, good); caught wide when down the field at Chester last time but not sure he's handicapped to win. |
20/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won Leicester maiden (5f, good) last month on stable debut; not at the top of his game at Chepstow next time (5f, good to soft; sole run on slow ground) but fourth of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) since in first-time tongue-tie (retained); might not be far away if absence of hood isn't an issue. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His four wins have all come over 6f on the AW and he's 0-10 on turf; having a rare start over 5f tonight and will need to improve on recent efforts. |
8/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been over 6f on the AW, the most recent at Kempton in March; below his best on turf in recent starts but did have an excuse (saddle slipped) at Bath four days ago; best watched. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ran out of puff having lost a shoe at Windsor on his comeback last month and he again faded having attempted to make all over C&D (good to firm) 19 days later; becoming attractively handicapped, however, and could be building up to something bigger. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His wins have come from the front in the summer, including this time last year on his second run back; turned in a satisfactory comeback at Windsor, when losing a shoe, and is entitled to have come on for that first start in seven months; shortlisted. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Poor effort last time will need forgiving but he's always been capable of the odd stinker; better drawn than for two runs here early in the year and it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Only 1-14 but he's a strong traveller who only narrowly missed out at Lingfield (6f) and Goodwood (5f, good) before a midfield finish at Windsor where never really involved; has a big effort in him. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten around 6l in two novice events at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last summer, with RPRs in the 50s on both occasions; has had wind surgery but she needs a transformation dropped in trip after a year off. |
9/1 |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Led early before weakening over C&D 16 days ago when behind Jowalla; may improve but has to. |
