22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Signed off last season with a head success off this mark on the Rowley Mile (6f, good); he appeared to be running into form before the new cheekpieces backfired at Doncaster; makes the shortlist. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a win off just 1lb lower; has steadily found his form this term, creditable third over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for this stable at Newmarket in September; lively in the betting for both starts this spring and he built on a midfield finish at Newbury when fourth of ten at Ascot (again 6f, good) four weeks ago; respected from the same mark. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Had a fair bit of racing but back to her very best with cheekpieces refitted, going back-to-back over C&D on soft and heavy ground; did it comfortably enough last week to seriously consider under a penalty (effectively only 2lb higher with Pippa Brown claiming 3lb). |

1st 7 (6) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

A switch to cheekpieces saw her bounce back to top form when winning over C&D (soft; five of today's rivals behind) 18 days ago; up 4lb but respected with underfoot conditions to suit. |

Won the Class 6 C&D handicap on this card 12 months ago; added to her tally at Thirsk in June but unable to build on it since; hopes appear to rest on a headgear change giving her a lift. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 207y |

The pick of her form is a fourth in a Gowran handicap from a 13lb higher mark in June last year; her runs since then have been poor and she was last seen finishing a 32l ninth of 11 at Clonmel in May; cheeckpieces go on but they need to spark huge improvement. |

His five AW wins include one over this C&D; below his best at Bath (5.5f, good to soft) last time on his first start for 74 days but he was running well prior to that and returns to the AW off a handy mark; cheekpieces, worn last time, are discarded. |

Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted. |

5yo who has had several different stables during his light career; well beaten at Galway last autumn on final two outings but he's well worth a second look today given he's 2-2 on AW, the latest of those wins coming over C&D last February; makes stable debut with new trainer's horses running well. |
