16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and didn't show enough in two Carlisle outings for new yard over the summer to be overly optimistic about his prospects back from 99 days off. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and he could only manage a midfield finish here (7f, soft) on last month's stable debut; dropping down the weights but others are stronger. |

Poor strike-rate; eventually lost his form during spring spell with James Owen and was sold for 2,200gns since last run; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |

All starts at 6f; contested a useful race at Goodwood on debut and then finished third at Carlisle, not far behind subsequent Group 3 winner Barefoot Angel; backward step at Haydock last time but no shock were he to resume his progress now handicapping up in trip |

0-7 but went close in handicap at Leicester (7f, soft) in April; well beaten at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks later; worth a go at 1m but needs overall improvement. |

0-6 but should have races in him and his latest second of six at Leicester (7f, soft) represented further progress; drying ground shouldn't be an issue but he is creeping back up the weights. |

Sole win came for Olly Williams at Catterick (6f novice) in July 2022; has struggled for form since joining Jessica Macey (0-9) with no obvious uptick for wind surgery; difficult to consider. |

9st 8lb |
Not straightforward and was tailed off after missing the break at Ffos Las last month but he won by 4l there (6f, heavy) on his penultimate start; has claims if he can recapture that form and he has won off a higher mark in the past. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard. |

Made all when winning over about 5f at Brighton last May (good to firm); mixed in handicaps after but now 13lb lower than his latest 5f attempt in July; a turnaround could well be in the offing. |

On a long losing run but made the frame at Ayr (1m, soft) 12 days ago and ran another good race when second back at Ayr yesterday; should go well again. |
7/2 |

2nd 8 (1) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
His losing run goes back all the way to May 2024 and he's regressed this year; however, his recent third here (1m, soft) was a step back in the right direction and this two-time course winner is another 2lb lower today; might be in the shake-up. |
11/2 |

3rd 9 (2) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Four-time winner (two here) who is stuck on a losing run and hasn't been in great form this year; merely mid-division in a first-time visor (retained) here yesterday. |
