9st 8lb |
Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; second over 1m here in March; took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer over this trip at Limerick in June and followed up in a Ballinrobe handicap; held since, but back on a fair mark. |

9st 10lb |
Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap; two fair runs at the Galway festival; moderate display at Tramore; cheekpieces on now. |

10st 1lb |
Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade and forceful tactics when winning a claimer over this trip at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap off 72 (1m2f, yielding); not too bad in two runs at the Galway festival; good claimer takes off weight and this track may suit. |

9st 9lb |
Placed in all three course runs over 7f; best efforts of 2026 when returned to 6f on last three starts, beating a big field at Ripon and running well with excuses since (all on good ground); thereabouts. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good) last month; good third of 18 at Thirsk (6f, good) off this mark since; capable of going well again. |

9st 9lb |
Has some fairly useful form on his CV but was largely disappointing for Nikki Evans last summer and has finished well down the field on both starts for new stable this year (7f/1m); revival needed. |

Twice runner-up for Andrew Balding but left that yard as a nine-race maiden after disappointing in new blinkers at Sandown in July; 33-1 and only mid-division on stable debut in the Legends Race at Doncaster. |

8st 10lb |
Eight-race maiden; runner-up twice at Ffos Las (7.4f) last August; holds weak claims on 2023 form; chance depends on how well he responds to change of headgear (blinkers replace the visor worn last twice). |
