11th 2 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Had wind surgery prior to 6f success on finals day at Newcastle last time, taking AW record to 4-9; no certainty to follow up, being only 1-8 on turf and back on a tougher mark. |

1st 11 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Smart form in 2024, including over C&D; only ran once in 2025 and he has finished out of the places in all three starts this year but that doesn't tell the whole story as he made some striking late headway into sixth over C&D in January; he has undergone wind surgery since last seen and now sports a tongue tie; looks on a dangerous mark and could be a major player if he can avoid forfeiting too much ground at the start. |
6/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has bundles of ability but slow starts have become a feature and he hasn't been able to get away with it in good company; latest Newcastle effort offered hope of a revival and he has won over 7f in the past; handicapped to win and one to keep a close eye on, especially with Newcastle on Good Friday in mind. |

18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-8, but placed six times on turf/AW; didn't appear to stay when seventh of 11 at Bath (1m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month and this trip should be more suitable, but a bit more is needed; visor given a go this time. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Still a maiden (0-7) but has finished no worse than third in his four handicaps and first-time cheekpieces could him a lift; unraced beyond 1m+ but should stay okay. |

11th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Promising start on AW over the winter, winning Wolverhampton maiden and Newcastle novice (both 7f); makes handicap and turf debut back from 118 days off; given who trains him this might have been the target for a while. |
12/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
13th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Third over 7f at Wolverhampton on debut and beat a long odds-on Godolphin rival to win another maiden over that same C&D two weeks later; saw the trip out well on both occasions and apparently has just one serious rival today among those who have run. |

0-28 over various distances; no match for the odds-on winner over 1m1f at Carlisle last week but was 7l clear of the third. |
6/1 |

2nd 8 (6) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
27-race maiden; creditable third over 1m4f at Hamilton in June (good) but well beaten since; drop to 1m1f may not be ideal. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

A longstanding maiden who has performed moderately the last twice, but with a good few places to her name she can't be dismissed. |

9th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on the form she showed as a 2yo for Ralph Beckett; poor form in three runs for current stable (6f-1m); down in the weights/class but others much safer. |
33/1 |

10th 10 (6) |
28th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Chance on the Chelmsford fourth of her last start for Ralph Beckett in the winter (1m); too free on her stable debut two runs ago and no such excuse available latest; cheekpieces need to get her back on track. |

22nd Jan 2024 Frozen 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Disappointing maiden on the Flat, including two runs for current stable, and the change of code will need to have a dramatic effect. |

11th 11 (3) |
20th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Didn't progress for Hughie Morrison; nibbled in the betting for his stable debut at Chelmsford four weeks ago but still ran to just a modest level; hood and tongue-tie tried together for the first time (both have been worn independently). |

1st Jul 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
9.4f win off 3lb lower here in March 2023 on final start for Andrew Balding; close fifth of nine at Chelmsford (1m2f) this May on first run since, which was followed by a lesser show behind Goblet Of Fire at Kempton (1m3f) 19 days ago; cheekpieces are now given a go. |

9.5f win at Wolverhampton on final start for Andrew Balding in March 2023; he was having his first run since when a close fifth of nine at Chelmsford three weeks ago (1m2f), keeping on well; Oisin Murphy takes over today; not fully exposed. |

Ex-Harry Eustace; lightly raced maiden at up to 1m4f on the Flat (tailed off on AW after 424-day break on stable debut two weeks ago); plenty to prove on his jumps debut. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Boasts a decent record in handicaps round here (two wins and two seconds from six starts) and ran better than his final position suggests over C&D from a wide stall two weeks ago; one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, but his record in handicaps around here reads 21412, his latest win coming over this trip in November after six months off; still just 1lb higher and respected; stable also runs Bungle Bay. |
6/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed from six months off with a 7f Wolverhampton handicap win in November and backed it up with a good second of seven there last month; this C&D scorer must enter calculations. |

4yo maiden who recorded his peak effort over 1m4f on AW in February; however, ran respectably over C&D (good) last time and has frame possibilities provided that effort is repeated. |

Maiden (0-10); runner-up in a first-time hood at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last May; has struggled since, including in three runs (9.5f-1m4f; headgear recently removed) in 2024; no reason to anticipate revival. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |
8st 10lb |
All six wins came on the AW when trained in Britain; standout run for this yard came on opening day of season when runner-up in 26-runner Curragh handicap (heavy), most recently didn't seem to get home over this trip at Gowran last month (soft); stamina concerns remain. |
