1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Rated much higher when joining this yard in autumn 2024; remained consistent enough off a sliding mark during the winter but needs more if he's to snap the losing run. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins when trained by Hugo Palmer; now finding it difficult to get his head in front and has dropped to a career-low mark; may get in the firing line but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |
10/1 |

5th 3 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in September 2024 but that was off 19lb higher at Chester, and he ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still lightly raced on turf and has possibilities if he handles the conditions back in this sphere (best form has been on soft ground). |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Awarded the Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last March and he's fully 12lb lower today; ran well in defeat at Ayr last month on first two starts for this yard (1m/1m1f, good to firm) and he's on the shortlist. |
11/4 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won six for Darryll Holland, most notably when awarded the Spring Mile in March 2025; lost his way thereafter, and Gay Kelleway (0-4) couldn't rejuvenate; joined Jim Goldie for 13,000gns and there were positive signs when third over 1m here (stable debut) recently; is dangerously handicapped. |
9/4 |

3rd 1 (3) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fairly useful for Darryll Holland, then form went markedly awry during a brief spell with Gay Kelleway; sold for 13,000gns since last run; market may prove instructive on debut for another new yard. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Chance on this winter's AW best but he failed to fire back on turf at Goodwood last week (5f); return to 6f can help but others are stronger. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran on well to win a Class 4 over C&D in January; respectable efforts since, including when sixth of seven behind Em Four and Brazen Idol here two weeks ago (held up in a race where the front two dominated); still feasibly weighted. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won two of his first four races, the handicap over Chester's extended 7f on good to soft; raced freely back there last month after a break and can improve on that form. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made a pleasing start to his career when winning a Doncaster maiden (7f, good to soft; 7-2) in May, but only fourth under a penalty at Wetherby next time and has since bombed out (last of six) on fast ground at Newmarket (1m; on handicap debut); questions to answer. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 60y |
9st 4lb |
Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
10st 2lb |
Only two wins from 40 starts, but placed 16 times; last won at the Curragh (6f, heavy) in April 2024 off 3lb lower; generally below best last year apart from Listowel fourth and Currgah second in the autumn; has a preference for soft/heavy |

3-39 overall, last winning in August 2024; close C&D third last May on sole start here; previous campaigns suggest he's best watched first time out. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Losing run is mounting up but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 2l at Ayr (1m, soft) on Tuesday; hard to rule out another good run but this is a quick turnaround and that latest form was in a Class 5. |
16/1 |

5 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Losing run is mounting up but he ran respectably in most recent 1m attempt and this is a drop in grade; 8lb below last winning mark and Jake Dickson removes a bonus 7lb. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Into the veteran stage but in the form of his life this winter, finishing third over C&D before a Wolverhampton win and a Southwell second; likely vulnerable to an improver but should give his running again. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |

10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |
