24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times last year (including C&D on good to soft) and he's just 1lb above his last winning mark; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game this season and first-time cheekpieces need to prompt something extra. |
20/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in second half of last year (7f-8.6f, good to soft/AW); his progress has stalled this season, with two mid-division finishes (1m, AW), but his Newmarket trainer is 3-15 here and he may yet be capable of better. |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Emerged from midfield to win with a bit in hand at Southwell (1m) in October; only 4lb higher and his midfield finish at Kempton was after 206 days away; still appeals as a horse who could have more to offer. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Stuck his neck in front in the final strides over C&D (good) on seasonal debut, ending a three-year losing spell; still well handicapped on peak form and commands respect under very promising young amateur Henry Callan, who has built up an impressive strike-rate. |
5/2 |

8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

No wins since 2023 and although he was running well when last seen, that was late last year; probably one to watch unless backed. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a long losing sequence (on his yard debut) over C&D in May but comes here on the back of a below-form sixth at Newcastle (1m) last month; needs to get back on track. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
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. |
11/2 |

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. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Won his third race when taking a Killarney handicap over 1m last July off this mark; some solid runs since, including when third of 13 at Gowran last week (1m2f, soft); inside draw and good amateur aboard. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |
14/1 |
|
10th 12 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off. |
20/1 |
|
5th 12 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two clearcut wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) last autumn but he wasn't at his best on Tapeta during the winter; has scored over C&D in the past but he's never won a Class 4 and this is competitive on his return; others preferred. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

2 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |
8/1 |
|
10th 12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |

Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

High in the weights after three wins this year but not disgraced the last twice and claiming 3lb through William Carver can aid his cause; won't be far away. |

31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins this year, the latest at Newmarket this month (1m, good); solid effort in a Racing League handicap 16 days ago; not handicapped out of it on last year's best but a lower draw would have been preferable for one that likes to race prominently. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took a while to put her head in front but having got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f; blinkers first time), she followed up in emphatic fashion at Newcastle last week; escapes a penalty for that win and she's due to be 9lb higher in the future; obvious claims. |
15/8 |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made her breakthrough at the 13th attempt when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f; first-time blinkers) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and she's still unexposed on AW; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; regularly run well in defeat this year, going down narrowly over 1m at Thirsk three weeks ago; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |
9/2 |
