29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran with 11 wins but the most recent was back in October 2023; starts this campaign off a reduced mark but others look safer. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who made a pleasing return from a three-month break at Haydock last month; not so good at Redcar 17 days ago and others appeal more. |

4th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Handled testing ground when trained by Bryan Smart (ran well over C&D on soft as a 3yo); generally raced on a sounder surface for current stable, winning on good at Ayr in June; ran poorly at Yarmouth ten weeks ago but can go well fresh and he's not out of it. |
9/1 |

11th 3 (10) |
27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Positive start for new stable, building on his Beverley reappearance second in April when going one better at Ayr (5f, good) eight weeks later; the Ayr form looks solid with the second and fourth successful next time; has won on soft; bold show likely. |
4/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 in top form, winning twice at Beverley (5f, soft), but she has looked rusty on both her starts this year; absent another seven weeks since her last run and probably best watched. |
50/1 |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
In great form on soft ground last autumn but was punished by the assessor for a Listed effort that possibly flatters her; never figured in AW event two months ago; current mark seems difficult. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Chelmsford in December; 2lb higher mark and stronger opposition might find him out back from five months off. |
12/1 |

5th 10 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good efforts on his last three 5f runs but in between there have been two lesser efforts over 6f; did win over C&D off 1lb higher last November though and he can't be left out of calculations. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Refound some form last two outings for first and second at Yarmouth; best efforts last year were better still but, despite form on testing ground earlier in career, she came last of six on last season's two runs on soft. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular. |

4th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Failed to win in seven runs for Richard Fahey (promise on soft); stayed on well to do best of the stands' side group at Goodwood on his stable debut nine weeks ago (5f, soft) but he looked a tricky ride there and wouldn't be sure to build on it. |
