26th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 143y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Has a patchy record but he won on his stable debut here (6f) in December and returned to form with a close second behind Sennockian at Lingfield 15 days ago; that was on his step up to 1m and he's respected off only 1lb higher here. |

4th 10 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Finished eighth behind Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 4lb lower; he is a better horse now, as emphasised by two 6f AW wins in January and a fine second in the Wokingham (cheekpieces first time) but he finished behind Two Tribes at Ascot last week and others look more appealing for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
13th 2 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to form when dropped back in trip in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in the Wokingham here (6f, good to firm) last month, finishing fast under Ryan Moore for a head second; on that evidence the return to 7f could be a good move and he's one to consider. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

No further progress since his successful yard debut over Hamilton's extended 1m in May and others look on better terms with the handicapper. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a long losing sequence (on his yard debut) over C&D in May but comes here on the back of a below-form sixth at Newcastle (1m) last month; needs to get back on track. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-35, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December off a mark 8lb higher than today's; never featured over this trip at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and better is needed. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |

No Nay Never filly; dam, 5f/6f 2yo winner (Group 3; RPR 107), is a sister to 5f 2yo winner Mia Diva; yard can ready them, so this speedily bred newcomer rates a player, especially if the market vibes are positive. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a dangerous mark and he could get away with this trip in a well-run race but he took a nasty fall at Chepstow seven weeks ago and perhaps best watched on the back of that. |
8/1 |
|
2 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (6f) who won decisively on AW (7f) in November off a 3lb higher mark; recent return to action should have sharpened him up; one of two strong contenders for his trainer. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Has won on turf but is happiest on AW; expected to be caught out by this shorter trip on his return from nearly five months off. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner (similar mark) on Boxing Day; not the easiest to predict since and his respectable third at Perth (2m4f) last month was followed by a laboured performance at Cartmel (2m6f) 18 days later; place claims at a minimum if putting his best foot forward. |
11/2 |
|
8th 6 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
2-17 over hurdles; not yet proven over quite this far but posted good effort when third at Perth (2m4f, good) this month and didn't run badly over 2m1f on only previous visit to Cartmel; could have a say. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
C&D winner off 6lb lower at this meeting last season when with Adam Nicol (good); has since won at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) but has a bit to find with Betteryouthanme on recent Hexham form. |
16/1 |
