30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Often front-runner; doubled his tally over this C&D when winning in first-time cheekpieces in April but he's struggled in both starts since; others look stronger. |
16/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Flopped over C&D 51 days ago when reportedly unsuited by being unable to dominate; he had earlier won twice over C&D this year and he's not impossibly treated; goes without cheekpieces this time. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back on form when second in a C&D handicap last month; possibly unsuited by a drop to 6f for the first time in well over two years when seventh at Kempton since; good shout if recapturing the previous C&D form. |
3/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Raced over further since handicapping and his sole success came over 1m last May; second of seven at Lingfield last time (7f), well positioned in a race that was steadily run to halfway; on a competitive mark but dropping to 6f is the query. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-12 when trained in Ireland; returned from break when creditable second of 15 at Bellewstown (1m, good) in July but two disappointing efforts followed (1m/1m2f); drops back in trip for stable debut; market may guide. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Maiden whose best runs have come over 7f-1m; good second on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (1m, good) but bombed out at Killarney on latest (reportedly clinically abnormal post-race); a hood now goes on; risky. |

14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Successful in a 6f handicap on Wolverhampton AW on final 2yo start but it's been a grind this year despite dropping 9lb since reappearance; up against it for now. |
14/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Nursery win last backend (Tapeta) came in first-time cheekpieces; maybe the switch to first-time blinkers will do the job but it's hard to find any other positives, with him struggling this year and having stamina to prove. |

Sole success came in a handicap over C&D in March, but last three efforts not amongst his best; dropping to this grade for the first time one reason for optimism. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

1-23, the win coming in a nursery here (6f) at the end of 2024; will need to improve on recent efforts if he is to double his tally. |
25/1 |

8th 5 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win was in December 2024 but that was over C&D; finished down the field in three runs for current yard but the saddle slipped at Brighton (7f, good) last time and he was only beaten around 2l; could go well on this drop back in trip and he's not ruled out. |

Both wins have come over 5f, including one here; losing run is up to 20 and little to suggest he wants this far. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Remains on a losing spell that goes back to his novice double in 2024 and has regressive results since switched to classified level, albeit perhaps needed latest run (back from break). |

Down the field in one run over 6f for Ed Walker and tailed off over Nottingham's 1m on recent yard debut. |
100/1 |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
50-1 when well held on her 6f Polytrack debut for Ed Walker last September; yard's Flat wins in recent times have all come with older horses and it would be a surprise to see her take this. |
