18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner, two of them over C&D, and he's tumbling down the weights; one to keep an eye on in the betting but he's struggled to get competitive since December; major turnaround needed in a switch of headgear. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner but his last success was 19 months ago and he's struggled in four runs for current yard; mark is tumbling but he needs a big turnaround back up in trip; cheekpieces return. |
8/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner who was also successful on turf at Musselburgh (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in August 2024, but he's struggled in three starts since joining this stable; dropped another 3lb. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has dropped to Class 6 the last twice, showing signs of a revival at Ayr then never figuring at Catterick; current mark reflects a broad decline in his form this year. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A dual 7f winner early in 2026 and he's holding his form well, beaten a nose when second of five in 7f Ayr handicap 25 days ago; this C&D scorer can make his presence felt. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has won twice over 7f this year, the first at Newcastle in January, the latest at Musselburgh in April (good); creditable third on last three starts, latest over C&D three weeks ago; each-way chance. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple wins include three over C&D earlier in his career; has run well on occasions since a narrow Musselburgh win (7f, good) in April off this mark and a recent never-nearer third of eight there under Jake Dickson puts him in this picture; yard runs three. |

Career win number seven when beating Lady Arwen here over 7f last month (soft) off 74 for today's rider; just okay runs twice since off revised mark; more needed. |

Career win number seven when beating 14 rivals at Galway (7f, soft) and not a bad last run at Listowel when upside Midnight Strike, given that he came from well off the speed. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, including this race on good (made all) last year; latest success came in Bahrain in January; well beaten in the John Smith's Cup on his return to Britain but bounced straight back with a career-best second of 11 over 1m at Thirsk (good) under Lexie Clarkson three weeks ago; going softer than good would be a slight question mark. |
33/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, the most recent in Bahrain; well held in major handicap returned to home soil last time; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; Lexie Clarkson claims 7lb but has limited experience. |
25/1 |
|
18th 9 (21) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten in Bahrain in February when last seen and a wide draw could prove tough for this front-runner; however, he won two C&D handicaps last summer (good/good to firm) and was back on the scoresheet in Bahrain in January; unbeaten at York and could make a bold bid at a big price. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has been kept busy since winning over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in December; went in again at Southwell on Tuesday evening and needs respect. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |
8/1 |
