24th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (off 2lb lower) on stable/seasonal debut but has regressed since; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Well backed when making winning stable debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) in April but hasn't repeated the form in two runs since, favourite each time; just as effective at 6f but needs to get back on track. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Carries top weight but can deal with her current mark which is 2lb lower than when second at Newbury three runs back (7f, good to firm); she raced alone for a large part of the race when back over 6f at Salisbury and then got behind after flyjumping the start last time (7f); has the ability to feature, provided she doesn't fluff the start (happened more than once). |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; back-to-form second over C&D (good to firm) last month and may not have been helped by racing alone during the first half of the race when well held over 6f at Salisbury since. |

7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Veteran who showed his best form for a while when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; below his best on turf at Goodwood 19 days ago but cannot be overlooked back on AW. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Campaigned mostly over 6f and on turf; not particularly solid on his form this season for new stable; enough to prove back at 7f for the first time since 2020. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has gained most wins at Windsor; made the frame there last time (second run for new yard) but was beaten 6l and needs to raise his game; losing run is mounting up. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Solid sprint handicapper for the Channons over the years but only occasional flashes of his old self in 2024; has dropped down the weights but he reappeared for new yard with tailed-off effort at Ascot 16 days ago and can only be watched after that. |

9st 9lb |
Conditions are no problem but he's on a long losing streak and has not made an impact in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 1-34 on turf and others are preferred. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

21st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Bolted up in a 6f fillies' h'cap at Windsor 12 months ago on good-to-firm for George Boughey; last of 14 on yard debut at Naas early this month after a 303-day absence so entitled to come on for it but this trip probably stretches her. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 3lb |
Bolted up in fillies' h'cap at Windsor 12 months ago on good-to-firm; two lesser efforts on easier ground since; has to defy a 303-day absence on stable debut but is still lightly-raced and would appreciate quick ground. |

Has claims on her clearcut win off 6lb lower at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in August but she then ran poorly over the same C&D three weeks later; easier ground was blamed but she does have form on soft. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has a good Windsor record, notching two more 6f wins (good/good to firm) this summer; soft ground provides an excuse for a below-par run there last time; campaigned mainly as a sprinter in recent years but was a 7f winner earlier in career. |
22/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Excels here and ran another good race at the track when a closing third behind Under The Twilight, having got behind; a faster pace today would play to his strengths; no ground concerns. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

9yo who's an eight-time Windsor winner, including this May and June; beat Amazonian Dream in the latter race and runner-up to him here next time, before not disgraced on a first crack at Brighton; reliable sort from off the pace and he has each-way claims again. |

Currently 1-33 and the fact he's been beaten at 7-2 or shorter ten times tells its own story; will again be popular under Rossa Ryan after a solid second to Arlecchino's Rex in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago though. |

3yo who is in and out and was well beaten at Windsor last time; however, prior to that he was a close third at Nottingham (6f) and he's also effective on Tapeta; not written off. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Back to his best when a close third of eight at Nottingham 11 days ago, a slow start not aiding matters; capable of better and won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |
