Third in first-time visor (retained since) at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) last month and runner-up at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) since; solid claims. |
7/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins at 1m and the latest was in May of last year; however, competitive in 1m/1m2f handicaps for current yard and unlucky not to be closer than 2l at Chester last time. |
4/1 |

3rd 8 (11) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His last win was 16 months ago but that was off 3lb higher at Newmarket (1m, good); held in fourth of ten on stable debut at Chelmsford (7-2) last month but he had to use up some energy to get a prominent position from a wide draw; looks worth another try at this trip and he's not ruled out on second run for James Owen; visor added. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has gained his only two British wins in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket but since the latest one in July he has been placed twice over C&D and an unlucky second at Newbury (flew home from a difficult position, amid interrupted passage); each-way possibilities. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a second Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in July; has followed that with two creditable thirds at Ascot (including the International) and a bold bid is on the cards under Ryan Moore. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |

His last two wins have come in the 2024 and 2026 runnings of the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket but he proved his effectiveness at Ascot when third of 16 in the International Handicap over C&D (good to firm) in July; strong claims. |

Won two in a row at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August but he's been well held in last two runs including when last of five at Newmarket (1m, soft) last week; has quite a bit to prove again and others are preferred. |
9/1 |

5th 6 (12) |
27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Consistent turf form this year includes two wins at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August; better than bare result (hampered) last time; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in grade. |
14/1 |

8th 1 (8) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Two Pontefract wins this month and he turned in another solid effort when third at Redcar last week; effective over C&D and should make another bold bid. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dual Newcastle winner who's generally struggled since returning from more than a year off; his only below-par effort on Tapeta came when not seeing out 1m6f, however, and the handicapper's given him every chance. |
10/1 |
|
13th 10 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Often a front-runner; 13lb below last winning mark, but patchy form in five starts since returning from 14 months off in October; others make greater appeal. |
33/1 |

8th 6 (7) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |

Handy sort who was off for 14 months before returning for this yard in October; third of 11 when stepped up in trip at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago, but this will test his stamina further. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Spent nearly all of his long career with Ed Dunlop but lost his form in 2025 and has not staged a recovery in his two starts for new yard this term; well down the weights but others are more persuasive. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |
10/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |

8yo who is 0-10 this year but he was a good third here (7f, soft) last month and also ran well when runner-up off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) last Wednesday; might not be far away. |

Losing run goes back to C&D win in March 2024 but in good form on this track for his last yard, albeit he didn't help his mark by running well from out of the weights in July and he's now 4lb higher than for a defeat here the time before; likely to go well for new stable, even so. |

Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |

Hit the ground running for this yard when scoring on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) in July; yet to match that in three subsequent starts, including when beaten 15l over this trip at Pontefract last time; that came in a higher grade, however, and he's already 1lb below his Ripon mark. |

His only win came in a 7f Doncaster maiden as a 2yo; struggled for David Evans thus far but he's dropped 22lb since August and many of those runs have come over an inadequate 6f; the booking of Rossa Ryan and the addition of a visor point to a better showing this evening; confidence would increase if backed. |
