7th 4 (1) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often front-runs; without a success since landing a Group 3 as a 2yo; however, he has posted some good placed efforts and ran well when sixth of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) in July; has been dropped another pound and has to be considered. |
5/1 |
|
6th 14 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
He's on a long losing run and can be inconsistent, but this front-runner was third of 22 over C&D (good) in May and wasn't beaten far when seventh of 20 over C&D (good) last time; each-way possibilities from low draw. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Smart earlier in career; yet to win for this yard but gave it a good shot from the front when third over C&D (good) at the Dante meeting and bounced back from a lesser effort over 6f here when third (Inspired fourth) of 14 at Wetherby (good to firm; made running again) last week; each-way claims again. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Dual Tapeta winner last year who's looked to find this mark just beyond him in three runs back; pulled hard and didn't see it out last time (7f) but this will be more about speed on his first ever crack at sprinting. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of his five races since gelded, both over 7f on the Southwell Tapeta; latest fourth at Newcastle (7f) was a fine run as well, with the first three ridden handier and he found some trouble in running; should get involved if as effective back on turf. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Belatedly exploited his drop down the handicap at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in July and he added two more wins over that C&D in the next fortnight; came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Doncaster three weeks ago; not handicapped out of things though and could bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
10th 2 (11) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back in fine form this summer since stepped up to 7f and he narrowly completed a hat-trick under a 7lb penalty at Ayr 19 days ago; this strong traveller merits serious consideration despite a further 3lb rise. |
100/30 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this in good form having won over C&D on last two starts (good to firm), last week scoring by 3.5l when an 8-15 shot; 7b higher here, but should go well again. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives in decent nick without winning, fifth of seven in 7f Lingfield handicap three weeks ago; possibilities off a 2lb lower mark now. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
7f AW novice win two years; landed odds of 1-10f when easily winning a four-runner claimer at Lingfield in May, his first run for 591 days; well beaten in two handicaps in June, after which he left James Fanshawe for just 1,000gns; not easily recommended at the weights. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (10) |
25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won novice here at two (7f); confidence-boosting win at odds of 1-10 in 1m2f Lingfield claimer in May following monster layoff; suffered heavy defeat on handicap/turf debut at Chester latest and this is quite a quick turnaround; drops back in trip; safer elsewhere. |
20/1 |
|
13 (8) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Just the third start of his career (all AW) when returning from a long absence to land odds of 1-10 in a 1m2f Lingfield claimer 16 days ago; has potential as an unexposed sort but is in a much more competitive environment for this turf and handicap debut. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent gelding who was below par in three runs in the spring; has gone well fresh more than once, though, and returns from three months off on a career-low mark, so no surprise to see him fare better; keep an eye on the market. |
12/1 |
|
12th 16 (14) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 1m selling handicap (good to firm) at Thirsk when with George Boughey; has gone close a couple of times for this yard, including here (1m, good) 12 months ago when 3lb higher; below par in both starts this season but not written off. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (10) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Went close off this mark over C&D last backend and a good test over this trip is fine; quiet on his turf comeback and only has a selling handicap win to his name but he's quite capable. |

23rd Jul 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Best efforts so far when second of 11 at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in May and third of eight here (8.6f) last month; lower in the weights than for each of those runs, but she didn't seem to stay over C&D last time which is a worry, as is the outside stall. |
10/1 |
|
9th 13 (11) |
30th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-8 but placed in two of her five handicaps, including on latest outing when rather blowing the start but running on into third of eight here on the step up to 8.6f; that gave some encouragement for this trip. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
12st 9lb |
Three wins have come at Leopardstown up to 1m1f; this trip is likely to stretch him. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
All three wins have come at Leopardstown, including last time over 1m1f (good) when a comfortable victor after being allowed to dictate the pace; 5lb rise for that seems fair enough and he's in good form but must win away from his preferred track. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Both wins have come at this track over 1m in varying ground conditions; cracking effort back here last time over that trip; up 3lb but the extra furlong is a question. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Arrives here on the back of three very solid runs, winning at Windsor (2m, good) and going down narrowly since on soft and good ground; off the same mark as last time and it's just a question of whether he'll stay this far (Flat bred). |
6/4 |
|
3rd 1 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed improved form in January, winning readily on good ground at Windsor then clear second on softer going at Catterick; hit with another rise in the weights but Benjamin Macey takes off a useful 5lb; respected. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Improved upon previous hurdle form to get off the mark at the 11th attempt in this code at Windsor (2m, good) on New Year's Day; did it readily and there remains mileage in his mark (now 9lb higher) judged on his Flat ability; has shown hints of promise on soft/good to soft ground. |

24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Four poor efforts since joining from Mark Loughnane, latterly when tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on his first crack at this trip; hard to recommend, even in such a weak affair. |
16/1 |

10th 5 (8) |
4th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Wears first-time headgear and the dam's side of his pedigree hints this step up in trip may suit, but he's been well beaten in his first two handicaps (1m/7f, AW/soft) and needs to raise his game. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
On a handy mark again now and his first three runs of this campaign confirmed he retained plenty of enthusiasm; off the boil more recently but he drops in class with Henry Callan booked; one to be interested in. |
9/2 |

4th 5 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won twice over C&D (good/soft) last summer; has reached the frame on four of his five 2026 starts but beaten 6l when fourth at York latest and the return to Sandown needs to help him recapture his peak form. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done well with cheekpieces, winning twice at 1m2f at Sandown (good/soft) last summer; started 2026 with three creditable in-frame efforts (including good to firm) but needs to shrug off a lesser effort over C&D four weeks ago. |

23rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has a patchy profile but he improved his record to 2-12 with a last-gasp win over 7f here last time; this is a different test from a wide draw but he's only 2lb higher than last time and looks worth a try at this new trip; dangerous. |
7/2 |

1st 10 (5) |
9th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
7f win at Kempton for Jamie Osborne; not matched that form for this yard and others are more appealing in this field. |
