6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Close to a career best when winning over 6f here (Class 3; 2-1 favourite; from 3lb lower) over Christmas; free and a beaten favourite twice since, so will need to drop the anchor if to make his presence felt over today's longer trip; others make more appeal. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (2) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a gamble over C&D in December, his first run after a gelding operation; only third off this mark at Kempton last time where he was hamstrung by a refusal to settle; still lurks on an interesting mark and he is one to take seriously, even with the stable on a losing run of 25. |
9/4 |

3rd 7 (3) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Landed a gamble at Wolverhampton six weeks ago (6f), his first run since a gelding operation; well on top at the finish on that occasion and a 4lb rise looks extremely fair given the second, fourth and fifth have won since; good draw and lots to like. |

1st 1 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
AW winner (5f) for Karl Burke as a 2yo; ran well over C&D on last season's reappearance and his fourth in a big field at York on his handicap debut came off a 3lb higher mark; two subsequent efforts are excusable (Listed company and then 7f on slow ground); sold for 32,000gns in October; unexposed as a sprinter and now drops in class; stable also runs Sixtygeesbaby. |
8/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Speedily bred 3yo who has fairly useful form over sprint trips on home soil; came up short in French Listed event most recently; not certain to see out this stiff 7f. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He has yet to start at a bigger price than 9-4 in his nine races but he has won only one of them; hard to fault his consistency but he is edging up the weights and might prove vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Most consistent since his debut a year ago (22331323); gelded since beaten two necks into third of four at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) a month ago; possesses plenty of early pace and this sharp track may prove ideal. |
2/1 |
|
4 (7) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Never out of the first three in seven starts, making a winning reappearance in a Catterick novice (5f, good) in May and going down by only a neck in a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; up 1lb but still a major player. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Landed his fourth AW race when scoring narrowly at Kempton (6f) in March; has dipped below that winning mark after three lesser efforts and blinkers go on for his eighth race on turf (0-7). |
7/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has broadly done well on AW since December, winning four times; needs to prove he can transfer the pick of that form back to turf; 0-6 in this sphere and is 5lb higher than last attempt. |

16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Glimpses of ability in three attempts in 5f-6f novice/maidens; an opening mark of 58 looks fair, so it will be interesting to see how he does over this longer trip as a half-brother to the 1m4f winners Ouja and Ambling. |

5th 4 (6) |
13th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Take out the long odds-on winner and it was a modest race in which he finished an 11l fourth at Nottingham (6f; good); bred to want further than this. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame in all four starts on the AW, but yet to win after 12 attempts; returns from 191 days off having undergone wind surgery and he may be best watched despite having run well fresh in the past. |
10/1 |
|
9 (15) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-11 but runner-up in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ascot (7f, soft) last month and did well to finish sixth of 17 there (7f, good to soft) last time having been slowly away; wears first-time blinkers and could have a big part to play. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Landed a gamble over C&D 12 months ago (in this combination of accessories for the first time); ended 2025 quietly and he was well beaten on last month's return to action (no accessories); has plenty to prove but it wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue were he to revive. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole victory came first time up last season, back from a similar break, so has that in his favour; lost his way in 2025, however, and the usual hood and tongue-tie are both missing. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten just over 2l when an encouraging seventh of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) at the start of the month; both of last year's wins came at 6f on a sound surface so has conditions to suit and he's a candidate to step forward. |
7/2 |

7th 8 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Effective at 5f but last summer's two wins came over 6f; not beaten far at Chelmsford (5f) when last seen in December; still has relatively low mileage. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
His last two wins have come when making all in Class 6 handicaps at Kempton over 6f; yet to win on turf but he has gone well on fast ground in the past; Rossa Ryan booked and he should give it a good go from the front. |
7/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made all when winning at Kempton early last month (said to have appreciated being able to dominate); unable to get to the front down to 5f here next time and is another 3lb higher tonight; a lot will hinge on how things play out early. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) last September and back to form when doing likewise there (6f) 11 days ago; has also won here; did it decisively last time and a 5lb penalty may not stop him if he can back that up. |
