25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at seventh attempt, keeping on well in first-time cheekpieces at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month; moves up from Class 5 today, though, and others have more compelling form. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fairly useful 1m6f Flat winner for Andrew Balding; in good form for new yard over hurdles in the spring but came in a remote fourth in 2m4f Southwell novice in June; more is needed in first-time cheekpieces after a break. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful Flat racer who made the frame on four of his five hurdling starts for Donald McCain last season, most notably when third in valuable series final at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in March; well beaten in good-quality Flat handicap last month but ought to play a significant role in this. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden, with in-and-out form when sent handicapping on last four starts; stays 1m6f on good to soft but not so hot when finishing 13l behind the winner on heavy ground latest outing and he was also below form on sole attempt at 2m; today's switch of headgear might be a positive. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW debut (20-1) over 2m last time did not go well but he showed fair form in four of five previous races, including when staying-on fourth of six in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f) on penultimate outing; now swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and he's not entirely ruled out. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in August and at Ripon (2m, good) last month, appearing to idle in front on the second occasion having travelled extremely well; stayed on for fourth at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) subsequently and the return to 2m could be a strong positive; major player. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in Class 6 on soft and good to soft last year but withdrawn from good to soft on Thursday; first six wins were 1m6f, including at Newmarket this August, and he travelled much the best at Ripon (2m) one week ago before scraping home in front; up 3lb but return to 1m6f is clearly no disincentive and two of his wins last year were separated by only five days; player. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won this race last year (good to firm) in good style and has a 1lb lower mark today; 2026 build-up has been far less auspicious than last season's, however, and the first-time visor of latest start is now replaced with a first-time tongue-tie. |
20/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won here (2m, good to firm) in July but an 8lb rise signalled a reversal in his fortunes and he's beaten one horse in both starts this term; nothing wrong with this mark if the visor prompts a turnaround, though. |

Won a soft-ground novice for Charlie Johnston in September 2023 but has come up dry since; back from mammoth layoff with moderate run in Limerick claimer before eighth of nine at Leopardstown, albeit not beaten far. |

Won a soft-ground novice for Charlie Johnston in September 2023 but has come up dry since; back from mammoth layoff with moderate run in a Limerick claimer on debut for this yard in June; may need another run or two to hit top form. |
