15th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; respectable third on similar surface at this course (1m1f) most recently; has slipped back to an attractive mark and enters calculations. |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 4 |

Similar type to Junkanoo, having recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; not disgraced over 1m1f three starts back; on a workable mark and looks one to consider. |

On a long losing run; good third over 7f at Chepstow (good) a month ago but hasn't run quite as well on his two outings since. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Infrequent winner who's found his level again in lesser handicaps of late having missed almost a year; gave his running once more behind Ajrad over C&D 11 days ago and is 7lb better off but the winner had a good bit in hand that day. |
12/1 |

2 (10) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Without a win since September 2022 but comes here after two good efforts at Windsor (1m, good to firm/soft) this summer and holds each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
14 (3) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
11 months off before this season and returned to some form when second of 13 over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; capable of better last term, including on soft, so he's back in place contention, but no win since 2022. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Had been off for almost a year when making a successful stable debut in an amateur riders' handicap at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; 4lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he looks the best alternative to Typical Woman. |
5/1 |
|
5 (1) |
7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Two-time winner who is one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark on stable debut; however, he struggled on his last few starts last season and was sold for 1,000gns last September; plenty to prove on return. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Versatile regarding the ground but a respectable effort at Brighton (1m, good to firm) in July has been followed by two lesser ones and although temptingly treated, he needs much more for the adding of a tongue-tie. |
12/1 |

8th 3 (7) |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
4yo who has regressed and is on a 23-race losing run; however, he went very close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month and was a fair fifth at Doncaster (1m) eight days later; effective on Polytrack; chance. |
5/1 |

9th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
On a near two-year losing spell but he's in fair form having made the frame a couple of times in recent starts; on a reduced mark and drops to Class 6 for the first time, so can't be dismissed. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Normally starts slowly; goes well fresh so would like to have seen more on reappearance at Bath and didn't fare much better there four weeks ago; fourth is the best he's managed on AW; passed over. |
20/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He made a winning reappearance here in 2024 and 2025 so it's disconcerting he was well beaten on his comeback here 24 days ago, and he could do with breaking sharper; however, it's possible he needed the run this time and, having won three times last year, he's entitled to respect. |
7/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two of his eight wins have been over C&D and they were first time out in April 2024 and April 2025; two wins last summer ensure that he remains much higher in the weights but that reappearance record here is striking. |

12th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success in 14 starts came at Windsor (1m, soft) in the summer of 2021 when trained by Richard Hannon but not shown much since returning for this yard in May last year; finished tailed off at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month and cheekpieces will need to make a dramatic difference. |
14/1 |
|
8 (3) |
13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well treated on his 3yo form for Richard Hannon but he's struggled for current connections, including when more prominent in the betting at Nottingham last month; others look safer. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a soft-ground Windsor novice (1m) for Richard Hannon in July 2021 but he's not seen much action since and has been well held in three runs for new yard this spring; mark continues to fall but he has some work to do back up in grade. |

5lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) a year ago, but that his only win in his last 22 starts; well beaten on last month's stable debut under Alexander Woodford at Southwell (6f, Tapeta); others preferred. |

15th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Absent since below-par run last June on final start for Ivan Furtado; others arrive with less to prove but this course winner is one to watch in the betting, with his new stable also running the bang-in-form Piperstown. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Acts of firm and heavy ground; triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in January but he's been quiet there in last three runs; has bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark back on turf. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Gained the latest of his nine wins in a C&D handicap in January; good second here next time but his form has cooled in classified events over C&D in last two runs; bit to prove and he needs to get back on track. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who's had ten wins overall and has a 3-22 record at Windsor, which also includes five seconds; he's not sparked this season but the best of those performances was a C&D third on reappearance and he's now 8lb lower, racing off a career-low mark. |
10/1 |
|
1 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
10yo who is a ten-time winner, but he's not posed a threat in four runs this season and was beaten 8l at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) last time; mark continues to fall but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
3-41; 7lb lower than when making a successful reappearance at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) around this time last year and he has offered a little bit of encouragement in his last couple of outings; off 11 weeks, but could go well at a price. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he hinted at a revival under a patient ride when fifth of 13 in C&D handicap last month; he must enter calculations on these terms. |
9/1 |
|
7th 10 (11) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often runs well fresh, so the break looks in his favour, and two of his wins have come at big prices; capable of popping up off a career-low mark but he'll need to bounce back after a poor summer. |
