9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row over 6f last May and July (good and good to soft) but he's had just three inconclusive runs this year, again slowly away but finding little and eased at Newmarket 25 days ago; has something to prove. |

Won off a 2lb higher mark at York last summer (6f) but little to shout about since then and can only be watched for now. |

Three-time winner in the UK; some promise in Platino Bianco's race last week for all that he was only tenth. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

All three wins came when trained in UK; has been below form for this yard and has to stage a revival even from a dropping mark. |

Won twice over 5.5f at Bath in 2023 but has come up dry since; no show in three starts for this stable but handicapper relenting and Colin Keane is 2-9 for this yard. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who is without a win since October 2023 and has finished soundly beaten in Class 5 handicaps on her last two starts; however, before those she went close in one at Chepstow in May and if rediscovering that form she'll be very tough to beat now dropped into a classified. |
7/2 |

19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

On the downgrade in recent times and no surprise to see her fail to build on her Chepstow second when well held at Hamilton last time; the blinkers come off again tonight. |

7th 7 (3) |
18th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Handles most ground and went close off this mark at Nottingham (5f, soft) in July but he's not hit the same level since including in two runs for this yard; now drops back in trip but he needs to find more. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
4th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Handles most ground and both his wins have come at this track (5f); only 1lb higher than for his close second here in July and he made a decent start for this yard when a rallying second of four at Brighton (6f, soft) two weeks ago; now goes back up in grade but he's not ruled out. |

5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winning for the third time at Wolverhampton, and his first over further than 7f, when landing a C&D handicap in March; his stamina looked stretched by 9.4f when fourth 18 days ago; not ruled out back down in distance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His third win here when holding on grimly last month (8.6f), ending a two-year losing streak; only 2lb higher but he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up and has never raced over quite this far. |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins at 7f, two on this track, but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in January (Lhebayeb third); found less over 1m at Newcastle (favourite) last month but is of more interest back at Wolverhampton. |

16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win in 2024 but he's run some sound races in defeat; rarely seen on AW these days but his last run here saw him record an RPR of 71 over 6f (March 2023); not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner down the years and served notice that he was ready to add to his tally when a close fourth over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; closely matched with My Delilah and Some Nightmare on that run; rain no hindrance; contender. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins in 2023 (extended 5f, good to soft; 6f, soft), the latter off 2lb higher; slow to get in the swing this year but he put up a better show when third of five at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last time, when persevering well; this slower ground should suit; weights chance. |

9st 9lb |
Sole win from 35 starts came at Yarmouth (7f, soft) in September 2023 but she's been poor there on her last five starts, including on her only previous try at this trip; others preferred. |

11th 6 (3) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 34 starts came in a 0-65 handicap here (7f, soft) just under two years ago; poor in her last four starts and a hood (worn previously) replaces first-time blinkers; hard to fancy. |
33/1 |

4 (4) |
3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 33 starts came in a 0-65 handicap over C&D (soft) just under two years ago; poor in her last three starts and the switch to blinkers needs to make a big difference. |
