25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful for previous yards; 0-4 this term for new stable but penultimate effort shows that he retains plenty of ability and today's assignment looks a touch easier than his latest one. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
6f German Listed win for Archie Watson last June and looked as good as ever when 1l third of 13 to Strike Red in recent Leicester handicap (good to firm), when back up to 6f on his third run for this yard; may not be far away. |

3rd 4 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Listed winner (5f/6f) for his previous yards and he's run respectably in two 5f handicaps for his new trainer this spring; needs to find some extra spark but he's edging down the weights and this step back up in trip looks a good move. |

16th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came over 5f at Chester (soft) in May and ran well returned to that C&D (good to soft) last month; not disgraced in 6f sales race at York two starts ago; hard to dismiss at this level. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
16th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Highly tried since winning a maiden over C&D (soft) in May, but twice placed in Listed company and not disgraced when seventh of the 22 runners in the valuable sales contest at York (6f, good to firm) last time; makes his nursery debut, but the outside stall does make things a bit tricky. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Holds poor claims on his Redcar form this season for new yard; AW record isn't particularly convincing; enough to prove. |

14th 7 (1) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Sandown novice (5f, good to firm) for Sean Woods in June 2023 but gradually lost his way after being gelded last year and has been campaigned sparingly by this yard in 2025; on a career-low mark but still tough to consider. |

9th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Beat the smart Big Evs on his second run but was behind that rival at Royal Ascot and has since had his limitations further exposed; while he didn't run at all badly in the Gimcrack, others appeal more here. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Respectable effort in Group 3 on this track (7f) in April but ended time with previous yard on a low note, and after going close over 5f at Doncaster on debut for this stable she was down the field in a top handicap there last month; has a big corner to turn. |
25/1 |

16th 15 (7) |
14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
3yo who was a fair sixth in the 7f Group 3 Nell Gwyn on reappearance and bounced back from two lesser efforts when coming from the rear to finish second in handicap here (5f, good to firm) on last month's stable debut; back up in grade today but the extra yardage could be a plus; chance. |

11th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5f maiden winner on turf in June; ran as well as she ever has when a front-running third in a Goodwood nursery four weeks ago (7f, soft); more will be needed to defy her penalty here. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth at Newcastle (6f) but has taken two backward steps since; has his first run beyond sprint distances here and needs to bounce back after seven weeks off. |
9/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth of 14 over C&D in January but failed to build on that when only sixth of seven at Lingfield (6f) four weeks ago; bounce back needed. |
11/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Excelled as a 3yo but found the handicapper in command last year; promising reappearance at Newcastle six weeks ago (first run after wind surgery) and he is on a dangerous mark; widest stall to deal with but foolish to discount. |
