30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Has started 2026 in very good nick, third of six in 6f Southwell handicap last month; not out of things eased 1lb. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Racing League handicap off this mark last summer; three solid efforts this year, including a third at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month and a close fourth in big field at Ripon two weeks ago; remains lightly raced on AW and he's a key player back in this sphere. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Record of 0-5 this term for new yard but has been working her way into form, including over C&D; not dismissed off current mark. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Caught the eye dropped to a 0-70 for the first time at Kempton (6f) four weeks ago, beaten only just over 2l despite being repeatedly denied a clear run; the return to 7f should help if anything and Patrick Chamings is among the winners so there are reasons to be hopeful. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

She has slipped down the weights and there was more encouragement to be gleaned from her Goodwood fifth last month (7f, soft); drops in class today and Jim Crowley is booked; interesting. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Capable of being involved but is by no means certain to shine in this spring reappearance, having shown his best handicap form in autumn months; the market signals may offer further guidance. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on heavy ground; prevailed by a neck at Ripon (6f, good) most recently, building on his third-place finish in the Ayr Silver Cup and taking record to 4-21; this in-form contender is one for the shortlist. |

All three wins on turf when trained by Kevin Ryan; beaten a head over C&D in February but below that level twice since; may do better back at this track. |

Weighted to reverse October's Pontefract form with Fine Interview; best run for new stable came when second at Kempton last month; raced too freely at Newcastle since; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

Still 3lb lower than when second of eight at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, but losing run up to 15 and he does seem best at shorter. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent sort who was soundly beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and his losing run continues; however, he kept on well for second at Pontefract (6f, good) two starts ago and is not written off. |

Won two in a row in the spring (soft/good to soft) and returned to form when second at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month; however, she was soundly beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently and has to bounce back. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
It's a long time since he won but he was a close third over C&D (good to soft) last September and was an encouraging sixth of 18 on reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); refitted with cheekpieces (which are combined with his tongue-tie) for the first time since a win at Nottingham in autumn 2023; non-runner here on Sunday with a vet's certificate. |
