16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Reappeared with a win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March and got up in the final strides to follow up at Southwell (7f, AW); won over 1m last summer and versatile ground-wise; this progressive 5yo is climbing the weights only slowly and could play another leading role. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well backed at Doncaster (7f Class 4, good to soft) just over a month ago and that support was justified, as he drew clear of his 15 rivals; 4lb higher but no issues with AW and this long home straight should play to his strengths; the one to beat and he has Silvestre De Sousa in the saddle. |

Was becoming frustrating and only beat two rivals at odds-on in a 6f Southwell maiden 22 days ago; however, has the ability to threaten off this mark should that be a springboard to better things. |

0-10 for current stable; made the frame three times last May but wasn't in the same form afterwards in 2025; turnaround would give him a good chance off current mark. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Produced a strong finish to win a competitive 7f handicap here as a 3yo; first win since when making a successful stable debut at Chelmsford in January (7f); in and out since but he's on a winning mark and the ability is there if things pan out favourably. |
14/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Fairly useful handicapper whose AW form this year for new yard features a 7f success in January and a creditable effort last time; effective on turf in the past but seems weighted to the hilt back in this sphere. |

Course winner but over 5f; nothing to suggest he wants this far though and easy enough to look elsewhere. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Former sprinter who finished well behind Desiderata back from a break last Monday; never gone beyond an extended 1m, so stamina is an obvious concern. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best. |
40/1 |

15th 2 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ran well on his stable debut at Kempton (6f) in March but he was down the field, albeit in Class 3 company, at Newbury three weeks ago; now tongue tied; others appeal more. |
33/1 |

15th 14 (11) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
40-1 for his stable debut at Kempton (6f, AW) last month but he ran a cracker for second, beaten a nose; up in grade today but not out of it on last year's turf best. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
He went desperately close at Newcastle (6f) in December off a 6lb higher mark; well beaten since and unseated his rider having reared as the stalls opened (not for the first time) at Southwell 18 days ago; capable but too risky for comfort. |

All three wins have been at 6f but she ended last season with a creditable second over this trip at Newmarket (good); has gone close when fresh in the past and she's a player if she can pick up where she left off. |

21st Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up in two of his six starts on turf, the latest at Salisbury (7f, good) in May, and he may have just needed the run at Lingfield (7f, good) 11 days ago; one of his half-brothers won on the AW and so did his dam, so he may find a bit more improvement for the new surface. |
