2nd 3 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out. |

12th 7 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lost his way over hurdles last year and made only a mildly encouraging return to the Flat when keeping-on fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time hood) last month; not the most obvious answer. |
40/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Lost his way over hurdles, running poorly in two runs back from a break last November; the usual cheekpieces are replaced by a first-time hood and it's hard to believe he's still up to this sort of mark on the Flat. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist. |

2nd 1 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Sole success came on the Flat in a Sandown maiden in 2023 when trained by Alan King; beaten 29l on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 18 days ago in his first handicap hurdle; best watched. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Sole success on the Flat came in a Sandown maiden in 2023 when trained by Alan King; no joy in three runs over hurdles; sold for 10,000gns to join new yard in October; makes handicap debut and probably best watched for now. |

12th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Winning debut as 2yo (good to firm); gave it a good shot when a close third of seven on handicap debut at Ascot in May (1m2f, soft) but hasn't found a thing in two subsequent runs on similar surfaces; others preferred. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won on fast ground as a 2yo and belied 40-1 odds when keeping on well for close third on handicap debut at Ascot (1m2f, soft) in May; not in the same form when a well-held third at Salisbury (1m2f, soft again) two months later but it's still early days and William Buick does the steering. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Kept on for good third at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month and edged ahead close home to win at Ripon (1m4f, soft) last time; this 3yo is open to further improvement now up in trip and he's a strong contender. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten in three runs for new stable (Flat/hurdles) this spring; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival; blinkers return and visor is removed. |
25/1 |

11th 10 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten on both starts for new stable last month (hurdle/Flat); might be aided by refitted visor and/or first-time tongue-tie here but has lots to prove. |
33/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Struggled early on for this yard (at huge prices) but he was dropped into a Class 6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 12 days ago, backed into 11-8 favouritism and duly returned to form, finding only an in-form rival too good; 1lb rise not an issue given what he was capable of last year; key player. |
2/1 |

2nd 2 (8) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins (1m2f/1m4f) in 2025 for previous yard, but he's raced in the rear and stayed there in all five runs for this trainer; on dangerous mark on this drop back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Second at this meeting in 2024 but only eighth in this race last year; had an excellent autumn on AW and won again in January, but he's struggled to make an impact in recent AW starts and his record is a lot stronger at up to 1m3f than at about 1m4f. |
33/1 |
|
14th 3 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's never won off a mark this high and he needs to produce more than he's managed at Kempton and Lingfield on his last three starts; however, before those he won a 13-runner handicap over C&D with something to spare and the return to Newcastle could be in his favour; not ruled out each-way. |
