26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Two wins apiece on Flat and under this code, notably in 4yo Listed hurdle; subsequently ran well in substandard Adonis then had a straightforward task at Stratford; this assignment demands best form yet. |

11st 2lb |
Dual Flat winner who has raised his profile over hurdles, winning the Scottish Triumph at Musselburgh (good to soft) before finishing runner-up in the Grade 2 Adonis at Kempton; he probably faced mission impossible that day in conceding 5lb to a really smart prospect; hard to beat. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Recent form has been patchy, but he's now 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in May; each-way claims if he can reproduce that sort of form; stable also runs Hosanna Power. |
16/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins at 1m2f, on good to firm and the AW; third at Beverley last month before struggling in a Class 4; could go well, though has mostly steered clear of slow ground. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort. |
12/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time Wolverhampton winner for Shaun Lycett, all off lower marks; pulled up here last September, having clipped heels on his first run in five months and for this yard, and has been absent since; this trip a bare minimum now. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |

Five Wolverhampton wins to his name for Shaun Lycett, all during the winter months, and never off a mark this high; has gone well here too but possible he'll need this for his new yard after five months off. |

3rd Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-race maiden who's performing consistently but the exception came as 2yo on her only start on heavy going; her sixth when favourite trying 1m6f and cheekpieces (both for the first time) on latest outing was not her best form and today she sports blinkers. |
9/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 but performing consistently, the exception on heavy going as a 2yo (her only run on softer than good); needs a little extra for the breakthrough win but this longer trip looks worth a go; she also now tries headgear. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (8) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fair form in three handicaps this season, most notably when third at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) on first occasion; not really favoured by the weights in this maiden but still considered each-way. |

Won maiden handicap at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in May off 1lb higher mark; inconsistent since and first-time blinkers are now worn; needs more. |

14th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) in May off 2lb higher mark; has only been placed once in seven starts since and finds himself on a career-low mark; doesn't seem ready to take advantage and best watched. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Still just 1lb above his last winning mark and far from disgraced when fourth of 12 in a 0-80 at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last time; each-way claims if seeing out the longer trip. |
