13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Peak efforts have been on soft or heavy ground, including two wins as 3yo and a creditable place last June when last seen (1m3f; not proven over this far); only eight races in total and he could still have more to give, but substantial rain may be needed; withdrawn twice recently when it didn't arrive. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but he's finished in the first three on 11 occasions, including in each of his three starts this year; beaten a neck here over 8.5f last summer and he's a solid contender once again. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-16 but he'd gone close at 1m and did so again over 1m2f when third of 13 at Yarmouth (good; Beach Point fourth) on his reappearance last month; returning cheekpieces did little harm when second to unexposed sort over that C&D (good to firm; Beach Point third) a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-15 but involved in some tight finishes at 1m and also over C&D recently on his second go at 1m2f (one place ahead of Beach Point); off the same mark, he should be seriously involved if the returning cheekpieces (worn on penultimate start last term, ran creditably) don't have a negative effect. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Half-sister to five winners including Sextant (1m3f-1m4f including Listed; RPR 111); promising third at Windsor (1m, soft) on her second start and she ran to a similar level when fifth of 12 in a Nottingham novice (1m2f, good) six weeks ago; still has untapped potential and she's an interesting contender off what looks a workable mark on handicap debut. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Bath (1m5f, soft) around a year ago but largely kept to AW since and went back-to-back in that sphere (1m6f/2m) across May and June; lesser effort at Kempton three weeks ago but he's not ruled out on this return to turf. |
13/2 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won well over C&D in June, completing an AW double, and posted a solid effort back here last time (odds-on winner has boosted the form since); likely player off unaltered mark. |

15th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May; below that form off 4lb higher mark at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) last month; steps up significantly in trip but not out of this on AW debut. |
7/1 |

14th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Still signs of inexperience when appreciating the step up to this trip on her handicap debut three weeks ago; hood comes off and there could well be more to come for a yard that continues in good form, so holds decent claims upped 4lb. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (7) |
25th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |

Well held in her qualifying runs, hooded for the latest; this Cracksman filly is still interesting with this longer trip likely to suit on handicap debut. |

15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Finished a long way off the winner on her handicap debut 11 days ago but she offered more without looking to see out 1m2f; has fewer convictions than most and is worth a second look. |
20/1 |

4th 13 (11) |
4th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Her dam had ability and she's one to watch in the betting now up in trip off a basement mark on handicap debut; however, she showed very little this spring on her first three starts and improvement is needed. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Maiden under both codes; left James Ferguson after finishing tailed off in Windsor handicap last June and has suffered some heavy defeats over hurdles for these connections too; returns to the Flat with plenty to prove. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |

Hinted at ability over hurdles last November, but has gone the wrong way since; a second wind operation will need to have made a difference. |

10st 1lb |
Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance. |

Useful AW form in Britain, winning four times; well below his best in final runs for Laura Morgan and poor form has continued in two outings here for new yard; Colin Keane takes over for the first time now. |

10th 4 (8) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Useful overall AW form in Britain, winning four times; a long way below best since Southwell win last August; never threatened in a 7f handicap here on Irish debut. |
