30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

Nine-time winner but beaten 7l and 10l since changing trainers, latterly at Laytown when backed into favouritism for a claimer. |

Nine-time winner scored at Navan (6f, good) in May off 60, his first win since 2022 and his fifth on turf; weighted to confirm recent Curragh form with American In Paris; trainer is back in business after 12 years without a Flat runner and saddled a 33-1 winner at Tipperary on Sunday. |

Has been a superb servant, winning 16 of his 99 starts, including three this year; comfortable scorer at Haydock (6f, good to firm) latest, for which he has gone up 6lb; has won over C&D and looks a player again. |

Beaten on his last 16 starts going back to March 2022; however, having dropped down the weights he's been in good form of late and was second off this mark at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time; could be thereabouts. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

Well beaten on reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) 30 days ago and needs to be an entirely different proposition today; however, he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts and his C&D form figures read 123, with all three of those runs coming in cheekpieces (which go back on). |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Spent last year in the grip of the handicapper after seven wins in 2024; more leniently treated now and ran respectably when sixth of 28 in the 7f Victoria Cup at Ascot; seemed unsuited by drop back to 5f next time; this intermediate trip is probably ideal these days and he commands respect. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Nine course wins to his name from 22 starts here (3-7 over C&D); in good form of late, having spent last year in the grip of the handicapper, but that was over 7f and whether he still has the toe for 5f, at his age off this mark, is the question; yard also runs Woohoo. |

Veteran who had raced only over sprint distances until a resurgent effort (second of 18) upped to 7f at Newmarket last time; goes back up in class and seems unlikely to land a Victoria Cup aged ten; gained last five wins, all in 2024, at Hamilton. |

Seven times a course winner; 40-1 for last week's stable debut at Windsor (after 232 days off) and could only manage ninth but that hardly tells the story as he was stuck behind a wall of horses for most of the straight; good mark and one to take seriously. |

Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Always had his quirks and again hung left when a beaten-favourite at Southwell last time; usually dropped in and that will likely be the case again from the outside stall, in which case he'll need things to pan out ideally down from 7f. |

6th 4 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

0-13 on AW but he is fully effective on Tapeta; the step up to 7f didn't yield instant dividends at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he didn't get chance to show his true colours, tight for room inside the final furlong and having to switch right before keeping on steadily; this more spacious track could see him in a better light. |

A string of good runs at Brighton before collecting by 3l over C&D in a race that panned out to perfection; bled from the nose when disappointing at Brighton last time but he's 7lb higher than for his penultimate run and could have competition for the lead back on AW. |
