25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Completed a double off 4lb higher at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last June but he's been well held in three runs this season; seems versatile regarding ground and tactics but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
16/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
At his best this time last year and is now 2lb lower than when last successful; well held in two runs back this spring, however, and didn't shine in two previous starts here, so has a bit to prove back from six weeks off. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |
4/1 |

6th 9 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won a less-competitive renewal of this last year under Oisin Murphy (currently 2-2 on him), to further enhance a good course record; arrives in good form, remains on a workable mark and holds decent claims once more. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; back from a break with a near miss at Nottingham and a length defeat at Goodwood, again over 5f on good ground; should run well again from stall 4; has form on all sorts of surfaces. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all over 5f on seasonal debut and finished second on both starts since, latterly under Cara Tuke in 14-runner C&D (soft) contest 16 days ago; evidently in good nick; ought to give another good account. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
He has returned from a break in top form, winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) before a solid second at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; returning to 6f no issue and he will be fine if it rains; should go well. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two encouraging runs in France and she ran out the ready winner of a 7f novice at Salisbury (soft) on her stable debut two weeks ago; not obviously thrown in on that form but she did travel strongly and could have more to come as a sprinter; interesting. |
9/4 |

1st 8 (4) |
15th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
200,000euros yearling who's a half-sister to Fearless Bay (0-6 on turf; 4-6 on the AW); not seen in seven months since finishing second in a Polytrack maiden for Jean-Claude Rouget at Deauville last winter; the market will doubtless tell a tale. |

19th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-21 but regularly running to an RPR in the 70s over the winter; form has dipped more recently but he's been given a big chance by the handicapper and could have a big run in him from the inside stall. |
9/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
20-race maiden; not beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor in July (5f, good to firm), but soundly beaten last two starts; now tried in blinkers (fair effort in first-time visor); others stronger. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
19-race maiden; several near misses on AW over the winter; well beaten at Wolverhampton last time and others look safer. |
