On a good mark and knows how to win; however, three of his four runs since a break have been underwhelming. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner last year, latterly off 4lb higher, who's running in a 0-65 for the first time; finished last on his latest start but wasn't beaten far and Cieren Fallon (0-5 for the yard) is a positive booking; ought to fare better. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In and out since winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April and he was beaten 8l after a slow start at Newbury last time; now only 1lb higher than for that last success but he needs to raise his game back up in trip. |
7/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In and out since winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April and was disappointing at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) 11 days ago given he has won over that far and in testing ground; has plenty of form on good to firm, but has a bit to prove; often misses the break. |
14/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Three of his six wins have come over this trip elsewhere and he will appreciate going back up in distance after finishing third of eight at Newmarket (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (runner-up won next time); goes on any ground and respected off the same mark. |

Versaatile 10yo with 15 wins on his CV; not firing on all cylinders this season, the last twice over fences, but has dropped to a dangerous hurdle mark and will appreciate this ease in grade. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won back-to-back races at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but he's been generally disappointing since; on dangerous mark on this step back up in trip but needs to turn things around; tongue-tie added. |
9/2 |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Won back-to-back at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but has been below par of late; paid the price for doing too much too soon when a weakening fifth to Stellarmasterpiece (1m4f, here; beaten 2l) on penultimate start; easing mark helpful. |
11/2 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |

Made all when winning in a small field at Musselburgh in April (2m, good) and he followed up in Jersey 19 days later; poor run at Doncaster last month but he bounced back with a solid effort at Catterick last week (1m4f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Formerly smart on the Flat (fourth in 2022 Derby) but was knocking about in low-grade handicaps last year; well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in May but shaped with much more promise when third over C&D (albeit well held in the end) later that month, and might collect another minor prize today. |

3rd 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Low-grade Flat performer who joined this yard for £5,000; 25-1 and tailed off in a good-ground maiden at Hexham. |
14/1 |

6th 2 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a long losing run on the Flat but he ran creditably when last seen, finishing second at Redcar (1m2f, good; final outing for Tim Easterby) in October; changed hands for £5,000 soon after; going hurdling rather late but not without hope. |

A fair 2m winner at his best but he came in last in 2m Newcastle handicap in December; won a point last month though so is no forlorn hope. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
All six wins have come on AW but she is still 3lb above her last winning mark; her recent third at Carlisle (1m6f, good) was encouraging but she needs to step up more to win again. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |

6-19 on AW but 0-11 on turf; comes here after two down-the-field runs in blinkers (now removed) at Chester last month (1m4f/2m); not the most obvious answer. |

10st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m-1m6f) for Richard Hannon; having only his fifth start over hurdles when scoring by 15l at Southwell (2m, good) eight days ago; 7lb penalty shouldn't preclude another big effort. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won here in 2020; ended a long losing spell with a win at Newbury (1m3f) in June but finished last on both starts since; has not seen much action beyond 1m4f but ran creditably in a muddling 2m race on Kempton AW last November; others look more solid. |

9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Disappointing favourite when last of four over 1m2f last month but ended long losing spell with quite comfortable win at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) two starts ago and will be fine over today's trip; big player if back on song. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (1) |
4th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Was winning for the first time since February 2021 when successful in another apprentice event at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) nine days ago; just 1lb wrong under his penalty and a contender now that he is back in form; wouldn't want rain, but he's not alone there. |
