1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Rated much higher when joining this yard in autumn 2024; remained consistent enough off a sliding mark during the winter but needs more if he's to snap the losing run. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Gained reward for his consistent efforts on the AW when beating 15 rivals in a Chelmsford novice (1m, Polytrack) in May; has run well on Tapeta including over C&D, but could only manage sixth of 12 back in a handicap at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last time; off ten weeks since and needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
26th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
No show in one start on turf, but has proved consistent on the AW including when beating 15 rivals in a Chelmsford novice (1m, Polytrack) last month; bit more needed back in a handicap, but he remains open to improvement. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Knocking on the door in recent starts; raised 3lb for short head defeat at Leopardstown on latest (7f, good); has run well on yielding to soft; in the mix again. |
9/2 |
|
2 (2) |
21st Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 30y |
10st 0lb |
Regressive in Britain; has been consistent in maidens since joining Johnny Murtagh; Irish handicap debut at Naas provides plenty of encouragement; runs from a mark 13lb below her original assessment as a juvenile. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Close up in a maiden last time when the winner was rated only 63; consistent though and this is her first handicap for Jonny Murtagh. |

20th Oct 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Record of 3-27 with the last of those coming over this trip at Killarney in 2025 on soft; is now 4lb lower than for that win and has been consistent on last three starts; a player despite a wide draw. |
11/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 195y |
10st 0lb |
Three-time winner and 2lb beneath his last winning mark; beaten about 4l in his last two races at 1m1f so not in bad form and he might get a good pace to chase, which helps him. |

Runner-up on Polytrack at three for Andrew Balding; after best part of two years off, 80s when well beaten on yard debut here. |

13th 1 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Showed ability for Andrew Balding but sold cheaply in October 2024 and hasn't been seen since; best watched on stable debut. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden who hasn't progressed from a close fourth on the AW last winter; hopes rest on the visor turning things around on this step up in trip (cheekpieces didn't do much for her). |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well in all three starts over 6f/7f on the Newcastle Tapeta late last year, but has gone the wrong way since including on last month's reappearance/turf debut; enough to prove in the returning cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
10th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Solely raced on Tapeta, though on pedigree turf will suit; 3lb lower now than for December's close Newcastle fourth (7f), but refusal to settle three times either side of that tempers confidence in her capitalising. |

9th 9 (6) |
4th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten a neck at Bath (1m2f, good) last month on second handicap start and another good run when close fifth at Lingfield (1m1f, good) last time, when those ridden more prominently held sway; unraced on slow ground; solid claims for trainer who won this two years ago. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner (similar mark) on Boxing Day; not the easiest to predict since and his respectable third at Perth (2m4f) last month was followed by a laboured performance at Cartmel (2m6f) 18 days later; place claims at a minimum if putting his best foot forward. |
11/2 |
|
8th 6 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
2-17 over hurdles; not yet proven over quite this far but posted good effort when third at Perth (2m4f, good) this month and didn't run badly over 2m1f on only previous visit to Cartmel; could have a say. |

29th Jul 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden; similar form in two 6f runs at Ripon this month; improvement needed now dropping to 5f for the first time. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
20th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Best form so far when third in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in February; fair fifth over C&D on third turf start last time (good); more needed. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
8th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden; best form on the AW with a visor; tailed off on both turf starts this season, the first with cheekpieces tried (6f) and most recently over 7.5f with a visor back on (retained); others look stronger. |
16/1 |
