12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Only beaten a neck at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago (has won on soft); 2lb higher and has to prove his stamina over this far on the Flat. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out. |
14/1 |

12th 7 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lost his way over hurdles last year and made only a mildly encouraging return to the Flat when keeping-on fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time hood) last month; not the most obvious answer. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Useful on the Flat; back over hurdles for new stable this season, with by far the best of three runs a close second at Warwick (2m, good) two starts ago; pulled up over 2m1f since and not easy to predict over this new trip. |
9/2 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist. |

2nd 1 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Sole success came on the Flat in a Sandown maiden in 2023 when trained by Alan King; beaten 29l on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 18 days ago in his first handicap hurdle; best watched. |

12th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Winning debut as 2yo (good to firm); gave it a good shot when a close third of seven on handicap debut at Ascot in May (1m2f, soft) but hasn't found a thing in two subsequent runs on similar surfaces; others preferred. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won on fast ground as a 2yo and belied 40-1 odds when keeping on well for close third on handicap debut at Ascot (1m2f, soft) in May; not in the same form when a well-held third at Salisbury (1m2f, soft again) two months later but it's still early days and William Buick does the steering. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Kept on for good third at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month and edged ahead close home to win at Ripon (1m4f, soft) last time; this 3yo is open to further improvement now up in trip and he's a strong contender. |
2/1 |

Had plenty of racing under both codes and has been regressing for a while now; chase debut. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Been around a bit and has regressed sharply for this yard, mainly over hurdles; Sapphire Sirocco looks the more likkely of the stable pair. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Creditable third off 9lb higher over C&D on soft ground (acts on good to firm) last September in his only Epsom race; AW campaign in the winter for new yard did not go at all well until he perked up a bit in February on his last two outings; needs to build on that after his break but he's too well handicapped to be ignored. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Struggled early on for this yard (at huge prices) but he was dropped into a Class 6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 12 days ago, backed into 11-8 favouritism and duly returned to form, finding only an in-form rival too good; 1lb rise not an issue given what he was capable of last year; key player. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins (1m2f/1m4f) in 2025 for previous yard, but he's raced in the rear and stayed there in all five runs for this trainer; on dangerous mark on this drop back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Took form to new level when collecting good prize on AW in January, his 14th career success; below best on turf lately but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is too well handicapped to rule out. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2025 with 1m2f handicap success at Newcastle in January, but he's failed to beat a rival on his last three runs, finishing last of 16 in 1m2f Epsom handicap 22 days ago. |
