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). |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f at Ayr (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts back at Ayr twice since; this former course scorer enters calculations. |
13/2 |
|
6th 8 (14) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Already a dual winner for current yard, going in over C&D in July; posted another solid effort with fourth of five over C&D last time; can't be discounted. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time turf winner who made 2-6 for Jim Goldie when justifying favouritism over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; respected. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Reliable 5yo who was too strong for Dion Baker here last month and now bids for a hat-trick off 4lb higher; solid chance. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf. |

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. |
10/1 |

1st 7 (4) |
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 Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
9st 1lb |
Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |
12/1 |

8th 16 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 4lb
|
First reserve; has run well in both starts this season; beaten 2.25l when runner up at Listowel when last seen in May; has gone well fresh before and C&D form figures read 224; chance if gets a run. |
|
|
2nd 9 (3) |
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. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dug in to repel Qitaal over C&D (good; from 5lb lower) in June and lost out narrowly to stablemate Poet's Dawn back here the following month; met with trouble at Musselburgh (1m1f, selling handicap) latest; Rhys Elliott takes off 3lb. |
5/1 |

6th 1 (2) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comes here in decent form having won at Ripon in June and finished a close second to a stablemate there last month (also 1m2f, good); contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
8yo who capitalised on a reduced mark to win over C&D (good) last month before 7l second to easy winner in amateur jockeys' race at Pontefract (1m2f, good); he's not ruled out back here. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
A sixth win here when beating five rivals in March on latest outing (7f); went up only 2lb but lacking a recent run is probably not ideal in this much deeper race. |
14/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
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. |

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. |
