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. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Below par at Thirsk (6f, good) last Friday and unproven at 7f; however, he's produced some strong finishes over 6f this term and is not discounted. |
9/1 |
|
14th 5 (13) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Made a winning start for this yard at Pontefract (6f) in April and has continued to run well; not seen to ideal effect when fourth of nine back there (6f) 12 days ago; very much one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Won on stable/seasonal debut over C&D (good) in April and he ran really well in defeat last month, beaten only 1l when fourth of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; solid contender. |

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. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Had a purple patch during the last AW season, winning four times over 6f (twice here) when trained by Richard Hughes; has form over 5f but an extra furlong would be preferable; not shone in two runs for new stable but his handicap mark is tumbling. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f AW winner last winter for Richard Hughes; went without usual cheekpieces when a fair fourth of seven for his new handler at Lingfield (5f) 20 days ago; not out of things. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-11 on turf but finished well to snatch second in a C&D handicap (good to firm) last month; left Richard Hughes for 15,000gns since; on same mark as last time and he's a player if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces are removed. |

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. |

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. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has won two of his last four races, with the latest at Lingfield (visor remover; 1m, AW) quite decisive at the finish; carries no penalty and he's 6lb well in; 0-9 on turf but effective on the surface. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of a career-low mark when scoring here (7f) last month; a shade unlucky when beaten a short head at Southwell (7f, AW) since and should not be far away. |

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. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has plenty of handicapping experience but better than ever when winning quite convincingly over C&D (good to firm) recently; on a career-high mark against stronger opposition but it's not too late for him to do better. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (6f) in May but he's twice failed to build on it, only seventh of 11 at Ascot (6f) 17 days ago; needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (13) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two 6f wins last year and registered a third when coming out on top in a good tussle at Yarmouth (good to firm) in late May; up to this grade and caught a little wide when last of seven at Salisbury ten days ago, however. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Prominent racer with two C&D wins on his record; not at his best at Bath in July but this track should see him in a better light; needs taking seriously. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His form has been up and down this year but he won at Kempton (6f, AW) in March and was back to his best when making all over this C&D (firm) in May; key player if at the top of his game after a 50-day break. |
