26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Narrow maiden (soft) and novice (AW) wins over 7f in May and June 2023; has yet to get a regular foothold in handicaps (hampered early on latest) but this is a drop in grade from last time and he is falling in the weights. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Back-to-back wins in minor races last season but handicaps are providing a tougher challenge; beaten under 4l in a Racing League event last time and that was after an absence (gelded), but whether he'll build on that remains to be seen. |
10/1 |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won twice over 7f in maiden/novice company last season (including Tapeta) but he came up short once handicapping; gelded since last seen; can do better this year but he's into a competitive race after 317 days off. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Realistically weighted on his best efforts last year and his second run in March was better than the first; however, his AW exploits are unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1m on good to soft ground no problem and he is feasibly weighted on his best efforts last year; should be sharper with his recent return to action under his belt and he has the assistance of a leading amateur in the saddle; one for the shortlist. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Arrives in top form having won really well under Zac Lloyd at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time, building on his reappearance effort and taking record in cheekpieces to 4-10; that sets him up perfectly for a crack at a bigger prize and further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |
16/1 |
|
1st 7 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Turf maiden winner who won two AW handicaps last autumn; his last success was off 7lb lower but he reappeared with a good third at Newmarket (7f, good) last month and he's still lightly raced on turf; in the mix. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Turf maiden winner who scored in fine style in a handicap at Newcastle (7f, AW) last October; on that evidence this 7lb higher mark isn't necessarily beyond him, but he needs to improve upon what he produced on his last two outings in November and December. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who completed a hat-trick when seeing off 12 rivals at Thirsk (1m, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up franked the form with a good second at Epsom last week, while reopposing third Frankie's Dream has also run well since; the draw hasn't been kind given his run style but it's likely his mark is still workable. |
7/1 |
|
1st 9 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins for this yard at about 1m2f on a wide range of surfaces, most recently when making a winning return to action at Haydock (made all, just hung on) in April; also effective at 1m but raised 4lb to a career-high mark; non-runner 2.55 York on Friday. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and was a solid second over C&D in March; blew the start but ran respectably when fourth on turf at Chester a fortnight ago and he's handicapped to be competitive again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Captured a third success when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December but he's still 3lb higher despite going 0-12 subsequently; has run well on plenty of those occasions, and today's conditions should be fine, but others are more interesting for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept busy in 2026 and running well without winning, in the frame for the sixth time with third of nine in 1m2f Haydock handicap 19 days ago; not out of things on his Polytrack debut. |

9st 13lb |
Narrowly beat Individualism when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in June (good to firm); excuses for two lesser runs since (soft ground; too free); contender. |
6/1 |
|
2 (9) |
10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for below-par effort last time; solid record (1333121) otherwise for current stable and gained the most recent success, at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm), in game fashion; remains of interest. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (12) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Record of 0-9 this season but she's much better off with Jannas Journey on C&D running four starts ago; successful off higher marks in this race for the last two years; very attractively weighted and warrants respect. |
11/2 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Soft-ground winner who is below her last winning mark and ran some pretty good races in defeat last month; however, she made it 0-8 for the year when finishing last here (7f, soft) last week and has to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9 (4) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

In reasonable form, having made the frame in last three starts, latest over C&D when one place behind Quest For Fun; 2lb below last winning mark; enters the reckoning. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

On a tough mark after a big-race win in Bahrain in January; no impact in two runs this month and he is due to be 3lb lower from the weekend. |
33/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Three course wins, two over 6f, the other at 5f; this season's win was a 13-runner event at Bahrain in January (5f, good to firm); hasn't run quite as well since, but may have needed it when 5.25l tenth of 20 in the Epsom Dash last time (5f, good to soft; 66-1); a possible. |
7/1 |
|
10th 2 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on any ground; having dropped in the weights he enjoyed a revival last August/September, rattling off a four-timer (5f-5.3f); had a stint in Bahrain over the winter, unplaced on four occasions but recording a career best when winning a 5f event (good to firm) in January; looks on a tough mark back in Britain. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

Four wins last year, three on AW (6f/7f); some fair form since but has a bit to find with Instant Bond on recent form at Newcastle (6f); 4lb lower than last winning mark; first run here. |
11/2 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual C&D winner who is on a dangerous mark and he didn't get much luck when third here (6f) last Thursday; could be a big factor if things go more to plan this time and his last three wins have been on Tapeta. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual C&D winner for Lauren Young, who's back up today, last autumn, latterly off a 2lb higher mark; expensive to follow since but won't mind coming back down from 7f and a case could be made. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (10) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Way down the weights now but hasn't won since October 2024 (C&D) and had a quiet end to last season. |
