10st 0lb |
Six AW wins on his record, three of them at this track; solid third at Lingfield on Good Friday, on second run for this stable, and he's undergone wind surgery since; promising apprentice takes off 5lb and he's one to consider. |

Ran creditably on his stable debut at Southwell 12 days ago and returning to 6f won't be a problem; not sure he's ahead of his mark though. |

C&D winner for Clive Cox in August 2024; down the field in two runs for new connections after 418 days off but has looked to retain some ability; this race should prove a better guide as to where he is at the moment. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Four-time AW winner in Britain; pleasing start for this yard when staying on third at Leopardstown (7f, good) in August and excuses following month when disappointing favourite at Fairyhouse (ground, too keen and not clear run); drops in grade for AW return, Keane booked. |
4/1 |

Pleasing start for this yard when staying on from the rear for third at Leopardstown (7f, good); nine-time winner dropped 2lb for that and has won off higher marks in the past; best turf form is on good ground. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His losing run is gathering momentum and he has not won over 5f for three years; went close at Goodwood last month (5f, good) though and he should remain a potent force at this level. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice at Newmarket (6f, good) in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since; finished runner-up on stable debut at Leicester last month but he was 6l behind the winner and and is only 1lb lower on this drop back in trip; well-beaten sixth in the 4.25 here on Friday. |
9/1 |

6th 9 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
On a long losing sequence but he made a good start for his new yard (formerly with Darryll Holland) when second of nine in 6f Leicester handicap 18 days ago; more is needed from 3lb out of the handicap here though. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
One of his two wins came over C&D and was a close fifth here a month ago, backing up two good runs on the AW; possibilities, especially should the new cheekpieces give him a lift. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Beat Equity Law over C&D last June but the tables were turned when the pair repposed here in August; two solid efforts on AW in March; should give his running. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He was returning from a 167-day break when third over C&D two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride and he is one to take seriously. |

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. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
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. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three turf wins at 5f and 6f, the latest off this mark in September; big prices and well held in four sprints here for new yard and, although this is a drop in grade, he may be best left until back on grass. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three turf wins but 0-9 on AW and he's been well held here (5f/6f) in all three runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but this is competitive and others are more convincing; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

Campaigned over sprint trips for former yard, winning over 6f here 11 months ago; in and out this year but he's been gelded since last seen and starts out for Ed Walker off a reduced mark; stamina the unknown. |
