18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All six wins have been on the AW and was out of form when once tried here, and when previously fitted in a hood; on too good a mark to ignore on this return from a break. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
6-31 on AW, four of those wins gained over C&D and the most recent a ready success from a 1lb lower mark last December; failed to settle on outer when only eighth of 12 (Jersey Maverick sixth, State of Madness ninth) at Kempton three weeks ago; others arrive in better form. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Best known for his Southwell exploits, but has run well here including a win over this trip; the outside stall is not ideal, though. |

Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A regular at Southwell, where he has a win and five places; had slipped in the weights before creditable efforts over 6f and 1m last two starts; today's intermediate trip should be ideal and he's high on the list. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 1-31 on AW and was well held back in this sphere at Southwell (7f) last week; cheekpieces are now added but he has work to do on this return to sprinting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Rather a modest third returned to turf last time; only 1-30 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off current mark) and holds a fighting chance back here. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Only seen once since leaving Andrew Balding 18 months ago, when well held last October; won his novice over C&D and the hood going back on should help but it's hard to know whether he's still up to this sort of mark. |
12/1 |
|
9th 8 (4) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins for Andrew Balding last year, a Lingfield novice (7f, Polytrack) and a Ffos Las handicap (7.4f, heavy); makes his stable debut (same owner) after a year off with the hood removed; watch market. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and didn't show enough in two Carlisle outings for new yard over the summer to be overly optimistic about his prospects back from 99 days off. |
12/1 |
|
10th 8 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and he could only manage a midfield finish here (7f, soft) on last month's stable debut; dropping down the weights but others are stronger. |
20/1 |

6th 3 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate; eventually lost his form during spring spell with James Owen and was sold for 2,200gns since last run; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
13yo who reappeared with a win at Southwell in May before a good third over this C&D next time; however, he was well beaten at the former track last time and needs to bounce back. |
20/1 |
|
9th 9 (1) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
13yo who reappeared with a C&D win in May before a good third at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; most of these have something to prove whereas he arrives with very solid credentials. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often slowly away but has plenty of Southwell form, including four wins off higher marks; posted a resurgent effort (third of 13) over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes to new headgear. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 10lb below his last winning mark, which came over C&D (Class 5) in January; probably a bit better than the bare facts (slowly away and met trouble) when seventh of 12 over C&D one week ago. |
16/1 |

7th 14 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

66/1 |
|
8 (13) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won four in a row in 2023 but he's not seen much action in recent years and has failed to beat a rival in last three runs; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove and he needs a big turnaround after wind surgery. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His mark continues to fall and he has lots of good form on soft and heavy ground; won at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March but this 9yo has struggled more recently and he needs to turn things around. |
25/1 |
|
5 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won narrowly off his lower AW mark in March; returned from layoff with down-the-field AW run this month but combination of refitted cheekpieces and heavy rain could prompt a more dynanic performance. |

13 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won a Southwell maiden back in 2023; stable in fine form, so following a good third over this trip at Beverley last time (good) is one to consider. |

3rd 2 (6) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Dual 7.5f course winner; turf wins on fast ground but acts when it is slower; not disgraced on his last two starts but more needed despite his reducing mark. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who has yet to hit top form since returning last month, but is 1lb lower than when last successful at Beverley (7f, good to firm) a year ago; has won around here (1m) and worth a second look. |

Drops into a Class 6 for the first time on the AW, but has been running poorly lately and his record of 1-30 is another negative; needs the blinkers and returning tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win in 29 starts came over two years ago and hasn't been at best on last three starts, remains to be seen whether drop back to 5f will be in his favour. |

2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual winner from the front this season, including over C&D in April off 12lb lower, who hasn't been able to dominate the past twice and has been eased off each time; needs to bounce back and also show this mark within range. |
12/1 |

13th 5 (8) |
2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Successful under positive rides over C&D in April and at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in June; taken on in front when last of nine at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days later; not many confirmed front-runners among this opposition, so he could be dangerous if allowed his own way. |
