25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Eight AW wins but just one on turf, at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last May; no match for well-treated reviver there 18 days ago but he saw the race out nicely to take a late second; can play a part. |
13/2 |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored at Chelmsford (6f) in December and not so bad as his recent form figures suggests, challenging wide when ninth in 6f Southwell handicap last month; this C&D winner is not out of things. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Gained three 6f wins on the AW last spring but he went off the boil and refused to race in the Ayr Silver Cup on his final outing; hard to see him breaking his turf duck after eight months off. |
25/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
He had a very good run on AW in the spring, winning three in a row over 6f, but was last to finish on his latest start in May; it's hard to see him breaking his turf duck off an 18lb higher mark than his most recent defeat on grass in June 2024. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Most effective on AW (4-25) and was beaten 15l (tenth) in the Grey Horse handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; 40-1) last month; needs this change of headgear - has won in first-time blinkers previously - to spark a revival; easing mark but poorly drawn. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Close third in this last year (good) and he won twice at Kempton (6f, AW) in the winter; below par on his last two starts but runs off his last winning mark and is not written off. |
16/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In good form at Kempton over the winter, winning twice in blinkers; had a three-month break prior to his midfield finish at Salisbury last month; should be happier back on AW and with blinkers back on (wore cheekpieces latest); solid contender. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Two AW wins (at 5f and 6f) last year for Jonathan Portman; has run well off marks in the mid-70s; now a modest 60, having shown very little in four runs for this stable, including a 7f claimer at Dundalk last time; definite chance on his old form; worth a market check. |
7/1 |

11th 12 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; hard to fancy on recent form (blood noted at both nostrils on comeback run), too keen at Ayr latest; first-time tongue-tie. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; blood noted at both nostrils after a poor run at Down Royal (7f) for May's stable debut and he beat one home back there (5f, also good) having stumbled last time; risky. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not as good since missing more than a year, does most racing over 6f and will always come with risks, given a propensity to blow the start and/or pull hard; this is easier down to 0-50 company for the first time, though, and he's capable if it falls right. |
8/1 |

8th 5 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up performer who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January but he's not hit the same level since and has finished eighth in his three runs (Tapeta/turf); on dangerous mark but he has something to prove and slow starts can be an issue. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won two of her first four starts but her progress has stalled since a Lingfield handicap win in April (6f, AW); others look safer now she returns to turf. |

2nd May 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Five wins at Southwell but didn't run much of a race there last time and it's a long time since he was successful on turf; others appeal more. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time course winner at 7f and 6f who has run well at Doncaster on his last two starts, most recently when fourth (beaten a length) 19 days ago; just 1lb higher than his win here in February and has claims. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's a prolific winner who bounced back with a fair fifth over C&D (good) three weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and last success was off a similar mark. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break. |
20/1 |

2nd 1 (10) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not firing on all cylinders since a wind op in July; returning to AW may help but this looks a competitive race in which to try and bounce back. |
14/1 |

11 (12) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today. |
