13th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Fair form on first two starts and better when he got off the mark at 2-5 in a six-runner novice at Chester (6f, heavy) on latest; leading claims, especially as he goes on the ground. |
5/4 |

1st 4 (4) |
13th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Very promising fourth of 15 from off the pace on debut at Newmarket (6f, good) last month and put in good front-running shift before fading into fifth in what looked a useful Sandown maiden (7f, good) a fortnight ago; major player in this easier race. |

22-1, slowly away and green in Newmarket maiden (6f, good) three weeks ago but ran on into fourth of 15; that showed plenty of ability and promise. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has gained both wins over 6f, including narrowly at Carlisle (good to firm) last time; back up only 3lb he may remain competitive, provided this drop to 5f proves no issue; opening mark was 13lb higher. |

1st 5 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Had some fair form for Richard Hannon last season; running creditably for current stable without really threatening; now drops into a Class 6 and he is one to note for market confidence. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A fair 6f winner for Richard Hannon in 2025; yet to reach that form in five runs for Sam England though, again slowly into his stride when eighth of ten in 6f handicap at Pontefract 12 days ago; others are preferred. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden but he was runner-up three times last season and wasn't beaten far when fifth in new headgear at Kempton (6f, AW) 11 days ago; that was eye-catching from off the pace and he's in the mix back up in trip. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
15-race maiden but he did finish runner-up on three occasions last year (twice on the AW); however, he's been down the field in three starts this year and drops back in trip with a bit to prove; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
9/1 |
|
8th 8 (1) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; no impact in his two runs this year (following a wind operation) and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
AW maiden winner as 2yo but 0-20 otherwise; went handicapping off a high mark and his 3yo season was a write-off; fortunes have turned somewhat off basement marks this term but he's more persuasive on AW. |
20/1 |
|
5th 9 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
AW maiden winner as 2yo; went handicapping off a high mark and his 3yo season was a write off; on a lowly mark now but although he's been thereabouts in AW races at 7f this year he needs more for the return to 6f on turf; has been wearing blinkers and cheekpieces, now goes in a visor. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressive for Thomas Faulkner in various forms of headgear before switching to this yard in early spring; pulled hard on turf last time and returns to cheekpieces back up from 6f. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Very well handicapped on last summer's exploits but he's been a long way below that level this year and a major turnaround is needed. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 6f handicaps on good ground last summer when with Hugo Palmer; quiet in two runs for current yard (cheekpieces then a visor) and soft ground might not be what he wants. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Made a winning start for Michael Dods over C&D in April but he failed to beat a rival in 7f Mussleburgh handicap 26 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Game effort to win a 7f handicap at Thirsk on his seasonal and stable debut last month; only fifth back at Thirsk this month but the drop to 6f may have counted against him; not discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Better than ever when making a winning start for the Michael Dods stable over 7f here (good) a fortnight ago; 6f winner for previous yard last autumn so the return to sprinting shouldn't be an issue; respected off just 2lb higher. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Triple-figure odds and poor form in five starts, including when well behind three of these over C&D 13 days ago; no appeal. |
100/1 |
|
12 (12) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who has been well beaten at triple-figure odds on all four starts, most recently an AW classified following an absence. |
50/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Struggled at massive prices in novice/maiden events last autumn, with a best RPR of 31; now switches to a classified event but she needs a transformation after a lengthy absence. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won maiden/novice races on turf last May/June and was a promising fourth of 14 at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March on his stable debut; however, not quite at the same level there (6f) since and he's up in grade this afternoon; others are more compelling. |
50/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice on turf last summer for Ed Bethell; 33-1 for last month's stable debut but he ran a fine race, fourth past the post but doing best of the far-side group; solid claims off the same mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Pair of 6f turf wins for Ed Bethell last summer and ended his time with that stable with a close second in 6f Wolverhampton handicap in October; his new yard has made a good start to the year. |
