29th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a four-timer over 1m4f/1m6f on Polytrack at the end of 2021; 0-14 since, but he's finished a respectable fourth at Kempton (2m) in his last two runs and is now 1lb lower than for last win; shouldn't far away. |

13th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Completed a four-timer over 1m4f/1m6f on Polytrack at the end of 2021; 0-13 since, but was back off his last winning mark when a close fourth of 12 over C&D in January (runner-up has won since); possibilities in the returning blinkers. |

6th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Winless since 2021 but his AW record is a solid one and he shaped nicely after a break when fourth of seven over an inadequate 1m4f at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; returns to a more suitable trip and high on the list. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten under 3l in the Shergar Cup Stayers last time and is possibly running into form; however, usually races over further nowadays and this drop back to 1m4f looks a negative; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Only eighth of ten in a 1m6f handicap at Newmarket a month ago in which he was second in 2024 and won in 2025 (on good to firm); that was yet another below-par effort and hopes rest on the tongue-tie making a difference. |
20/1 |

8th 9 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Second in this race in 2024 and won it last year (good to firm); now he has a 4lb lower mark than last year; that's having failed to finish in the first six in any of his seven races since, but at least his latest start was better than reappearance and it's not unheard of for runners from this stable to surge back to form. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran whose last win was in August 2021; second off a career-low mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW; second run since wind surgery) on penultimate start but he's lightly raced on turf these days and has not made a significant impact in this sphere for a long time. |

Veteran who is on a three-year losing spell, has something to find on 2024 efforts and has stamina to prove back up in distance; enough reasons to oppose him. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
11st 0lb |
In terrific form of late, winning 2m3f Market Rasen handicap hurdle in May (good) and returned from a short break when strong-finishing neck second (clear of remainder) of 19 in 2m1f flat handicap here on Wednesday; clearly handles the track, should go well. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
9st 7lb |
Three flat wins for various trainers in Britain and off the mark over hurdles for current trainer in 2m3f Market Rasen maiden in late May (good); had earlier not looked a straightforward ride on occasions; has had a break since. |
14/1 |

1st 4 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has some useful Flat form and kept on steadily from a long way off the pace to take third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; subsequent Grade 2 defeat is easily overlooked but he has become a very awkward ride, often refusing to settle and/or hanging; comes with risk. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Dual-purpose performer but his last Flat win was in December 2023; some creditable efforts off a falling mark on AW (2m) and turf (1m6f) this season but he was tailed off at Newbury last time and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten half a length or less in his last two starts at Newmarket (1m2f/1m4f); has winning form on Tapeta (at Wolverhampton) and is 8lb lower than when last on the AW, but losing run up to 14; needs a bit more. |
11/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future). |
