4th 1 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has never run on ground faster than good (and taken out before on account of unsuitable good ground), so conditions could be a worry; hard to place after a Listed win in Italy last autumn ruined his mark and has struggled in three runs for this yard. |
6/1 |
|
17th 9 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good ground or slower; won a 5f Listed race in Italy on his final start for a French yard; big prices and finished down the field in two 5f handicaps last month; dropped 7lb for his troubles but he arrives with a point to prove. |
50/1 |
|
8th 5 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 5f winner as a 2yo for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he also scored three times in France/Italy last year; raised his form to a new level in the second half of last season but he failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Goodwood 17 days ago; comes with risks attached after that and he needs to bounce back. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ended a long losing run when cosily making all in five-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) three weeks ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly in his current mood. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice (5f/6f) last May and took a step forward with third of seven in 6f Catterick handicap 20 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |

9st 7lb |
Scored at Redcar (6f) last May and signed off for 2025 with a good third of 13 over C&D in October; needs to hit the ground running after nine months off though. |
10/1 |
|
10 (3) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly at Pontefract 17 days ago (6f, soft) and he's not handicapped out of things on the best of this year's form; this might be a shade too competitive though. |

15th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who won twice in the spring, including a C&D handicap off 5lb lower; in and out since and although she's well drawn here, an easy lead is unlikely. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win last season and absent since 17l defeat in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on AW in November; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
11th 11 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Won three times last year but he has gone without success in 12 runs in 2025; down the weights and last month's Pontefract effort can be upgraded, making up ground towards the middle of the track (slowly away after the blindfold was removed late too); dropped 1lb despite the promise of that effort and his dam was an AW winner; cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn on his last two starts; could be interesting. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins have been on AW and latest was at Southwell (5f) in January; 0-12 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and is well handicapped on his close second over C&D (good) last summer; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made bold bid after a short break. |
13/2 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three front-running C&D wins between last May and January; below best on last two starts but he might just have needed the recent sharpener following a break and can't be passed over too lightly. |
3/1 |
|
10th 6 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer with three C&D wins on his record, including on his penultimate start in January; not so good behind Okami five days later; has tended to come on for the run after breaks in the past. |

13th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Second of eight, beaten over 4l, on her nursery debut at Chelmsford ten weeks ago (6f); however, dropped away to finish last of 12 at Southwell on Thursday; needs to leave that behind her if turned out quickly. |
8/1 |
|
12th 6 (10) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Absent since her creditable second, albeit no match for winner, over 6f at Chelmsford (AW/handicap debut) ten weeks ago; open to progress at this level and enters calculations off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
2nd Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Trainer has been among the winners, including with a couple of 2yos, and Billy Loughnane (first ride for him) is a positive booking; starts nursery life off a basement mark and is one to consider. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |

6th 3 (7) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins in the first half of 2025 and latest was off 1lb higher over C&D; returned after wind surgery with a promising effort in a Class 4 here (7f, good to firm) last month and he looks interesting on this drop back in grade. |

31st May 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Showed some ability when trained in UK and again in two Irish maidens over slightly longer trips; looks quick enough for the minimum and could have a future in handicaps off this low a mark. |

21st May 2024 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

Won in this grade on turf in summer 2024 but is 0-26 on AW; made the frame twice off her basement handicap over C&D in the autumn and didn't run badly when seventh in this grade here last month but others look stronger. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

7th 8 (3) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on AW (0-25); far from convincing since finishing fourth to Bishop's Glory over 6f here (7-1) in November; last of seven over 6f here ten days ago; clear and obvious risks. |
