5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Recorded his first handicap success when landing a 7f event a Musselburgh in June; only fourth at Carlisle 17 days ago but that doesn't tell the whole tale as he anticipated the start and ended up losing a lot of ground as a consequence; hadn't had any issues at the start before that and he is treated as still being in top form; good chance. |
11/4 |

4th 8 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his 2yo novice win when making all to justify support at Musselburgh (7f, good) in June; this is a deeper race but a 3lb rise looks fair and he's well drawn to attack; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Still seeking his first handicap success and he has been beaten as favourite in both starts this year; on a dangerous mark and likely to be popular again. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Good second over C&D in June before winning decisively at Pontefract the following month; not at his best here last month (5.4f, good) but he wasn't ideally drawn; still has relatively low mileage and needs consideration. |
10/1 |
|
6 (11) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in small fields this summer and only six ran when he was second at Pontefract three weeks ago (5f, good to firm); showed he could be effective in a bigger field when second of 15 over 5f here in June but he's 9lb higher today. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
17th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Had a near miss in a big field at York in June (5f, good to firm); hit with a 5lb rise for that but made light of it with a ready C&D win last month (good); failed to pick up on slower ground when favourite at Goodwood 17 days ago but wouldn't hold that against him; unexposed at 5f. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Progressive for William Haggas last spring; dropped to 5f at Newmarket two weeks ago and he ran on well to win in Class 4 company; up 3lb in a better race but he could have more to offer at this distance. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Completed 6f hat-trick for William Haggas in spring 2025; midfield on both starts for new stable this summer but looked unlucky not to finish close to the target here (6f, good to firm; denied clear run) a week ago and has possibilities if suited by this drop in trip. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Completed a 6f hat-trick last spring but signed off for William Haggas with last of 13 at Newcastle in November; had been gelded before racing too freely on his stable debut/reappearance 19 days ago; that should have knocked some freshness out of him and he's back on his last winning mark. |

11th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
8,500gns yearling who went for £25,000 at the breeze-ups; stamina on dam's side of pedigree and interesting to see how he gets on over this trip on debut. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win from 17 starts came at Wolverhampton in 2024 when trained by his previous stable and he's mostly struggled since joining this yard; off for 168 days and is best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
20/1 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has dropped 11lb lower than when making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last December, for a reason though and his last three starts (including two since a second wind op) were particularly poor; swaps cheekpieces for a hood. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-21 but a few of her recent efforts, including when fourth of nine in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (first-time visor) ten days ago, give her each-way claims. |
7/1 |

4th 7 (7) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Formerly with Tim Easterby and now 0-20 after making it 0-5 for this yard when well held in a classified race at Southwell five days ago; switches to a visor. |
16/1 |

4th 7 (3) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 for Tim Easterby and beaten four times for new stable since December 29; latest effort was a bit better but she will need to raise her game again to take this. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden who was beaten 24l at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (replaced by first-time visor here); steps back up in trip and sliding down the weights but difficult to make a case for. |
16/1 |
|
11th 13 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was a well-beaten 33-1 shot at Southwell (2m; first-time tongue-tie) in January; this is more realistic than the Listed hurdle she tackled here last time but she's still hard to make a strong case for; has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-tie now. |
