8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A dual 7f/1m winner in 2024; lightly raced this term and got back on track when fifth of 11 in 7f Haydock handicap 12 days ago; one to consider off an easing mark with blinkers added. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice last June (7f, soft/1m, good to firm) and he is now 1lb lower than for the second success; only midfield in two starts last month (after a year off) but he has the ability to feature. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Held by Kodi Lion on Haydock running but may fare better with that reappearance effort under his belt; however, perhaps ideally needs a drop back in grade, having never won above Class 4. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
took keen hold, led but pestered, increased tempo 3f out, headed inside final furlong, soon lost second and no extra |
6/4 |

1st 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two in a row last winter (1m4f/1m3f, AW) and returned to form when going close in first-time blinkers (retained) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) recently; able to run off 2lb lower today (due to be 6lb higher in future) and can be bang there if confirming that latest promise. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
17th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
AW wins in the winter came over middle distances and he's been expensive to follow since handicapping; has still to prove he's as good on turf and it could well be all or nothing coming right back in distance in first-time headgear. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Usually slowly away but she made virtually all when 50-1 winner of a Listed race at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago, scoring in clearcut style from Rainbows Edge; that was a huge career best but, under a 3lb penalty, she probably needs better still to follow up. |

14th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Habitual slow starter and that considered she's been doing well to finish on the scene in Class 4 handicaps; however, this is a massive rise in class and she's unlikely to be good enough even with a level break. |

Not won on turf since Windsor success in May 2022 (1m, good to firm); has won on AW since; back on a good mark, fair fourth at Windsor last time (1m, good to firm) so could go well. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Multiple winner on turf/AW but his form has dipped since a July double over 7f on good to firm; others are preferred . |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Went up the weights for back-to-back 7f wins on turf in July and held since despite Toby Moore claiming his allowance; Billy Loughnane takes over but could be vulnerable off current mark. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner (1m/1m2f) but he's struggled since returning for this stable in January (refused to race on one occasion), albeit he did have a wide trip last time; has dropped to a career-low mark but has a bit to prove. |
12/1 |
|
12th 2 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time winner on Polytrack (1m/1m2f), but yet to click since returning for this yard in January, refusing to race on one occasion; has dropped a long way in the weights, but risky. |
25/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
AW wins at 1m and 1m2f and he's 0-8 on turf; refused to race on second run back from an absence and, following his fading fifth at Redcar (1m2f) recently, a further drop in the weights could be in order; at least this is a drop in grade, though. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good for Chris Gordon at third attempt, with emphatic win in Class 2 handicap at Perth (2m, good) in August; raced too freely and managed only fourth of five when favourite to follow up over C&D last month but remains of strong interest. |
11/4 |
|
4th 5 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Second in this last year when trained by Alan King and he won at Perth (2m, good) last month on his third start for this yard; hit with a 7lb rise for last time but 5lb claimer Fern O'Brien retains the ride and his trainer has won two of the last three runnings of his race; he's one to consider. |
4/1 |

1st 6 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Kempton (7f, AW) in February and has a lower turf mark; however, well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Ascot, and this 9yo is now 0-23 on grass; others are preferred. |
16/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner on Kempton AW, most recently in February (below par there since); has form over C&D but the 9yo is 0-22 on turf and not the percentage call. |
