12th 7 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Exploited his reduced mark in fine style at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last month; came up short off an 11lb higher mark in Ireland 13 days ago, hanging left; minor placing perhaps his best hope this time. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Made all for an emphatic 5f Doncaster win early this month, his first success since August 2024; up 11lb for that; however, he had a higher mark early in his career when trained by Brian Meehan; definite chance, given the depth of the sprinting division in Britain, relative to Ireland. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
His last win was in August 2024 but he went close off a reduced mark in a 16-runner handicap at York (5f, good) last month; back up 2lb in the weights but that was a bold bid last time and he's respected. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched. |

8th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins on good ground, latest at Bath (5.7f) in May during a consistent spell; form dipped in last three runs, latest with tongue-tie applied (retained); needs to rebound. |
10/1 |
|
8th 14 (5) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins on good ground, latest over C&D in May during a consistent spell; form dipped the last twice; chance of rebound depends on how well he responds to first-time tongue-tie. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has been placed on soft but both wins on good, most recently at Bath (extended 5f) in May; mostly consistent otherwise but he was nowhere near his best at Brighton recently so that needs overlooking. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who completed a hat-trick when seeing off 12 rivals at Thirsk (1m, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up franked the form with a good second at Epsom last week, while reopposing third Frankie's Dream has also run well since; the draw hasn't been kind given his run style but it's likely his mark is still workable. |
7/1 |
|
1st 9 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins for this yard at about 1m2f on a wide range of surfaces, most recently when making a winning return to action at Haydock (made all, just hung on) in April; also effective at 1m but raised 4lb to a career-high mark; non-runner 2.55 York on Friday. |

9th 5 (9) |
18th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable third in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, tongue-tie added) on Boxing Day but he didn't match that form at that same track 16 days ago; record is now 0-8 and he needs more progress at this new trip. |
7/2 |
|
3 (5) |
2nd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Heavily backed on his nursery debut at Lingfield four weeks ago but he was disappointing in sixth, finishing behind a couple of today's rivals; better when tried in a tongue-tie here last week, keeping on for third having been tapped for speed in the straight; progress required to win. |

23rd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
11-race maiden but he's run some fair races this winter, including one run in blinkers at Lingfield last month; latest C&D run (cheekpieces) was a backward step though. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
21st Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
bumped start, midfield, outpaced over 2f out, brought down over 2f out, hung left over 1f out, soon no impression |
9/1 |
|
5th 10 (9) |
6th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Comparatively exposed, being a nine-race maiden, but is in good form having been placed at this course (close second over 7f) and Wolverhampton (third over 6f) the last twice; possibilities if finding a bit extra in first-time headgear. |

16th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Well beaten in all five starts, the last two in nurseries; blinkers go on but can only watch. |
25/1 |

8th 8 (4) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Modest form to date, although showed a little more promise when 8l fifth in an Epsom nursery last time (7f, good); not sure to be suited by this step up to 1m; stable in fine form. |
20/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
8st 2lb |
Huge prices and not beaten many home in his three runs in novice/maiden company; this is more suitable but still not easily recommended. |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
All four wins have been on the AW at Lingfield (6f) but she's posted good efforts on turf on her last two starts, latest when the blindfold came off late at Bath (5.5f, firm) two weeks ago; slower ground probably wouldn't be ideal. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Four-time AW winner but 0-9 on turf; ran her best race on grass when second at Windsor 19 days ago (6f, good to firm) but there were no excuses and this is a higher grade. |
11/4 |
