9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of eight of his 22 starts, the latest success coming at Kempton (1m4f) off a 2lb lower mark; ended 2025 with a couple of lesser runs and might be best watched on return. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Has gone 2-2 in the cheekpieces, nicely on top late on at Windsor and Kempton (1m4f); two 5lb rises asks a question of him but something seems to have clicked. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Overall record is 7-18; took well to first-time cheekpieces at Windsor (11.5f) most recently and may have more to offer in the retained headgear; effective on AW. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
10st 2lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f; nothing for this yard at big odds until mildly encouraging run at Bellewstown last time; drops in class now and has his ground, worth a market check. |
9/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |

Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f; well treated on that form but he's failed to beat a rival home in four runs for this stable; hard to fancy. |

22nd Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time AW scorer who has proved consistent, including on grass, since most recent success (in May); went close off this mark at Chester (good) on last turf attempt; in the mix. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over 1m2f on Polytrack in the spring and has continued to run well, most recently runner-up at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack); that surface may suit better than Tapeta but he's not discounted here. |

15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Lightly raced but has finished last in both handicaps and was well beaten on recent hurdle debut; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

2nd Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Very respectable 12-76 record for one who plies his trade in this sort of grade; vast majority of those wins came on AW but he can do it on turf and latest third over C&D (good to firm), while beaten a fair way, wasn't a bad effort; has dropped back down to his career-low mark. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
11-time AW scorer but sole turf win was three years ago; some creditable efforts on Polytrack for new yard this year but he's been out of sorts at Wolverhampton in last two runs; has some questions to answer and he looks opposable back on turf. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
12-74; sits below last winning mark and filled the runner-up berth at Lingfield (1m2f) on penultimate start; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) over 8.5f here latest; trainer also saddles Three on Thursday. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat who showed some promise when fifth of 11 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but has endured heavy defeats in both starts since; not out of the question he could bounce back on handicap debut, though. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only 1-17 and hasn't been at her best this year, especially so last time at Leicester; however, she's never been lower in the weights and this is a drop in class; couldn't rule out. |
13/2 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Has won just one of her 16 starts and hasn't been at her best this year; however, she hasn't run badly the last twice and continues to drop down the weights; this is a modest contest and she could be thereabouts. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole success in 14 starts came off 9lb higher at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year; hasn't shown much in five starts since returning from eight months off in June and another 3lb drop not enough to tempt; can take a keen hold. |

Hindered by often failing to settle but is well handicapped granted a return to best; sole success came off 6lb higher. |
