27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
8/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Came from off the pace to record a decisive C&D success in January; ran no sort of race over 5f here in February, always behind after a slow start; better than that and no surprise to see him rebound. |
16/1 |
|
13th 4 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Hold-up performer who needs things to fall right but they did just that when he surged home in a good 6f handicap here three weeks ago; up 5lb but not impossibly treated on last season's best and the return to 5f won't be a negative. |
8/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Solid efforts in defeat here on his last two starts; returning to 6f in his favour and he could go well at a big price. |

Not beaten far on his last two starts but he has still finished down the field; drops in class today but others arrive in better form. |
12/1 |

7th 5 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Bits of form last year that bring him into the reckoning off his reduced mark; return to 1m may help but others appeal more for win purposes. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Both turf wins on soft and stepped up on more favourable conditions with two decent efforts at Ffos Las in June, latest when fifth of 12 (7.5f, soft); has place claims at least. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 16lb lower than when winning at Ascot (6f, good to firm; also suited by 7f) on stable debut last spring, but finished well down the field in all four AW sprints since December and returns to turf with lots to prove. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This his time of year, with two May wins in 2024 and a hat-trick last spring; arrives off the back of a string of modest efforts, though, the returning visor not making much difference last time. |
20/1 |
|
11th 2 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for the visor first going on last spring (won twice in May the year before too); well held in two AW runs from wide stalls this winter and can do better at this lower level with the visor back in place. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Admirable 6yo who has won eight of her 52 starts (including on soft); however, she goes up in grade this afternoon and would be a shock winner. |
100/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
As good as ever as a 6yo judged on her near miss at Lingfield (7f, AW); latest Newmarket third probably not the run to judge her on and she can't be ruled out, for all stall 1 isn't ideal. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent on AW this year but she was short-headed at Lingfield (7f) in February and denied a clear run when third at Southwell (6f) last time; has won here and she might not be far away if she's on a going day. |

6th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran his best race for this yard when third of ten at Wolverhampton on Monday (6f), leading in the straight but hanging sharply to his left and causing chaos in behind; stays this longer trip but he'll need to keep straighter to win. |
6/1 |

3rd 10 (3) |
4th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
reared in stalls before start, soon pressed leader, joined leader from under 3f out, led narrowly over 1f out, soon hung left, headed inside final furlong, kept on |

18th Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-14 since successful at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) on his second start as a 2yo when trained by Kevin Ryan; first-time blinkers join the tongue-tie, but this looks an inadequate test for him now. |

9st 9lb |
All three wins over 7f on AW, the latest with a tongue-tie; well beaten back on turf at Doncaster last time (7f, soft, blinkers back on); cheekpieces this time (no improvement last time he wore them); others preferred. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

She hasn't recaptured her best since returning to the AW in October; Rossa Ryan is a notable booking but there are risks attached now she's dropping back to 5f. |

28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Good chance on her spring form but she's gone off the boil more recently; continues to drop in the weights but others look safer. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Couple of 6f wins at Brighton last term; proved resurgent over C&D (good to soft) last week, going down by only a whisker; now 2lb lower and due to go back up 6lb in future; leading player. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice here (6f) last year but on a downward trajectory since then; shaped okay here (fifth) on return from a 266-day absence in early September but his more recent AW efforts (6f-7f) have failed to offer further encouragement. |
20/1 |

11th 12 (1) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Scored three times off higher marks last year but has a doubt over current form, having posted two substandard efforts since belatedly returning to action. |
