3rd 8 (12) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Disappointed at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (no headgear) but all his best form is here and has been close up in three visits since June (hooded for all those), including the John Smith's Cup; again behind the winner of that race here 15 days ago but it was another sound run; he's handicapped about right but has solid claims. |
9/2 |

5th 14 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won on soft as 2yo; good C&D record includes a third in this race last year and two placed efforts (latterly John Smith's Cup) in a hood this summer; the hood was left off when well beaten over 1m4f at Ascot a fortnight ago but returns now; capable of bouncing back with each-way claims at a venue which suits, particularly with the yard going well. |
18/1 |

9th 7 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can race freely and hooded for his last two races at York, in the latest finishing a highly respectable third (promoted from fourth) in the John Smith's Cup (extended 1m2f; good to firm) for which he was 4lb well in; now 3lb higher and surprisingly goes without any headgear, but he's got some momentum behind him. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Seized the chance to dominate from the front at Lingfield (1m2f) this month, opening his account at the 18th attempt; only fifth of nine there (1m4f) since, though, and overall profile remains unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Lingfield last month before going one better here a week ago (again 1m2f), beating six rivals to notch his first success at the 18th attempt; a 5lb penalty still leaves him well treated on his previous form but he's yet to fully prove himself over this far. |
3/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Had dropped a long way in the weights when beaten just a neck over C&D 17 days ago; that took his record to 0-17, but a repeat would give him every chance in this company; may be worth chancing. |

2nd 4 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Following a 36,000gns sale he was tailed off in a first-time tongue-tie (left off today) on his stable debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm); however, this useful Flat performer signed off for David O'Meara with a win in June (1m4f, good) and has the credentials to be a force in this code. |
11/4 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Signed off for David O'Meara with 1m4f handicap success at Ripon in June; changed hands for 36,000gns subsequently and not out of things for his new yard with tongue-tie added. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins over 1m2f (good/good to firm) last season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he hasn't been in peak form in four starts this term; still unexposed at this trip but he needs to raise his game. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
4yo who has shown ability on the Flat and it's still very early days over hurdles; however, he was soundly beaten on his handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile hurdler who may show improvement off his opening hurdles mark; 0-9 overall but looks favourably treated with his Flat rating in mind and Gregor Walkingshaw takes off a bonus 10lb. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on the Flat and failed to progress; ran okay when sixth of ten at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day on his second hurdle start but others have achieved considerably more. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
1-22 on the Flat and lowly rated; her third at Market Rasen 17 days ago was remote and she went off 80-1; opposable, despite the booking of Sean Bowen. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
1-22 on the Flat, with that win coming over 7f on the AW in December; has been running consistently at up to 1m since returning from a break in July but has stamina to prove on this switch to hurdles. |
14/1 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Sole success from 21 starts came in first-time blinkers at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last December; fourth in a C&D classified event last month before a solid third of nine in Brighton handicap (1m, good to firm) next time; has claims. |

8st 13lb |
0-7; beaten 3l when third of four at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April but he failed to build on that back on turf at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) 63 days ago; better needed. |
