5th 5 (2) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner, two of them over C&D, and he's tumbling down the weights; one to keep an eye on in the betting but he's struggled to get competitive since December; major turnaround needed in a switch of headgear. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner but his last success was 19 months ago and he's struggled in four runs for current yard; mark is tumbling but he needs a big turnaround back up in trip; cheekpieces return. |
8/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner who was also successful on turf at Musselburgh (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in August 2024, but he's struggled in three starts since joining this stable; dropped another 3lb. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Stayed on well to win a 5f handicap here in November; handicapper on top since but his latest 5f run here was in a better race and he was keeping on late; one to consider. |
7/4 |
|
4th 7 (9) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ran on well when justifying favouritism over C&D (Class 6; from 5lb lower) in November; third to Our Absent Friends next time, before being disadvantaged by a wide draw at Wolverhampton (6f) latest; this is potentially asking a bit too much. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went close off this mark over C&D in November; good run at Kempton on his penultimate start and he will find this more manageable than the hot Kempton handicap he contested on Friday; respected. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Two-time C&D winner; has been competitive off this sort of mark in recent months, beaten two noses into third over C&D 24 days ago (blinkered first time); up in class but likely to give it another good go. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Won his third race when taking a Killarney handicap over 1m last July off this mark; some solid runs since, including when third of 13 at Gowran last week (1m2f, soft); inside draw and good amateur aboard. |
15/8 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 1f 100y |
10st 2lb |
Won his third race when taking a Killarney handicap over 1m last July off this mark; some solid runs since and should improve from recent Curragh return; a player. |
9/2 |
|
9th 1 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

Won at Killarney in July over 1m on yielding-to-soft; also ran well to take third over the same trip at Ayr; stable had a handicap winner at Naas last week. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple Tapeta winner over 6f/7f; inconsistent since winning at Newcastle in November and was a beaten favourite in this grade latest; one of his better efforts would see him involved again. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins at this track, one over 7f and two over 6f in 2025; respectable third over 6f three weeks ago; drops in trip and likely to give another good account. |
4/1 |
|
5 (11) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Last two AW attempts comprise wins over C&D in March and in latest start, taking record in this sphere to 3-12; remains well treated on historical data; respected kept to this scenario. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark in 1m Windsor handicap last May but he's had only three runs since and has struggled in all of them; now back on his winning mark but he flopped when favourite at Leicester in April and needs a major revival after a break. |

15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Modest form both starts (6f, AW/good) and could fare better for a switch to handicapping in future; dam was a Listed-placed 7f-7.5f winner (RPR 104), so it is likely that this seventh furlong will suit; less easily fancied than stablemate Our Havana. |
33/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
31st Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Having been outpaced he stayed on for a soundly beaten seven of 13 at 50-1 on recent debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW); in good hands and could be much sharper for that experience, but he has plenty to find here. |
20/1 |

7th 11 (9) |
14th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

80,000euros half-brother to winners Archies Lad (7f; RPR 74), Canzone (5f AW; 71) and You Saw Brigadoon (8.6f/1m2f AW; 63); dam Listed-placed 7f-7.5f winner (104), half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Balisada; stablemate of Salamanca Lad and market should be informative on debut. |

12th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Some promise on his debut in July (6f, good) but backward steps in two runs since; not bred to need this trip but he makes his nursery debut at a realistic level. |
8/1 |
|
8th 8 (11) |
14th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
22-1 in two 6f novice events at Windsor (good) last month; showed some promise when fifth of 13 on his debut but was well below that form last time and others are preferred. |

11th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
6f Polytrack and 7f Tapeta winner; largely consistent earlier in the campaign but the handicapper looks to have gained control on his last couple of starts. |
11/2 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
9th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D win in July; couldn't muster sufficient pace in a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago (tried in cheekpieces which are now left off); not discounted back up in distance. |
9/2 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well on top at the finish in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; 3lb rise not excessive and cheekpieces could help; will need luck in running back at 6f but he's capable. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner; completed hat-trick in 1m handicaps in the summer, and ran creditably again when fourth of eight over 1m2f at Sandown last month; just as effective on AW; should give another good account of himself. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer, the last leg at this track; disappointing at Haydock next time but better than ever when beaten a head at Southwell (1m, AW) 16 days later; all his improvement has been at 1m, having tried 1m2f twice in the spring before he was tongue tied, so this step back up in trip asks the key question. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer but he came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Haydock 16 days ago; promise in one C&D run in March; another career best required to win. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has bettered novice/maiden form in nuseries and shaped at Wolverhampton last time as though he'd be suited by the return to this trip; claims with Hollie Doyle up. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
3rd Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Well beaten in his first three starts but there was more promise when third of seven in a Brighton nursery three weeks ago; wide draw back at 5f though and he'll need further improvement to win. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
11th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Struggled in his three maiden/novice events, most recently when 11th of 13 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; 150-1) last month; still early days but he needs to do much better on this switch to a nursery. |

14th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Half-sister to a Listed sprint winner but she made a low-key start in a small field at Yarmouth (5f, soft) in April; goes up in trip after a break but she needs to leave her initial form a long way behind. |

Yet to record any worthwhile form, cheekpieces fitted when only ninth in 6f nursery here a week ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

9th 18 (5) |
10th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
