26th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 143y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Has a patchy record but he won on his stable debut here (6f) in December and returned to form with a close second behind Sennockian at Lingfield 15 days ago; that was on his step up to 1m and he's respected off only 1lb higher here. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Looks well treated on this year's AW form but failed to transfer it back to turf (in Group 3) last time when bidding for a 6f hat-trick, and still has a weaker strike-rate in this sphere; bit to prove back at 7f and doesn't look the percentage call. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Dead-heated with Diligent Harry in Listed grade to complete a Lingfield 6f double in January and take AW record to 4-8; effective when fresh but is by no means certain to transfer the improvement back to turf; only 1-9 in this sphere; tongue-tie applied. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
He returned from a 73-day break with an emphatic C&D win two weeks ago; held a class advantage over those rivals and that isn't the case here but he did finish his race off extremely strongly and he shouldn't be underestimated. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning stable debut at Hamilton (8.5f; 20-1) last month; backed that up, splitting a Jim Goldie pair (third has won since), under a 5lb penalty there (1m1f) next time; 1lb lower now and has no issues with this AW track (311224); interesting. |

AW winner; placed in the Legends race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in September but never involved next time at Ayr, which made it 0-12 on grass; has since left Richard Fahey. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all in 7f handicap at Lingfield off 2lb higher in December; some fair efforts in defeat since, including fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (7f) four weeks ago; this former C&D scorer is handily drawn for a prominent racer; reasons to be positive with Jack Nicholls taking 5lb off. |

No Nay Never filly; dam, 5f/6f 2yo winner (Group 3; RPR 107), is a sister to 5f 2yo winner Mia Diva; yard can ready them, so this speedily bred newcomer rates a player, especially if the market vibes are positive. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Near miss at Wolverhampton last week (7f), keeping on well having encountered traffic problems; a clear run is no guarantee here either but he's handicapped to win. |
