22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 13 months ago but he's run two promising races for James Owen this spring and was beaten less than 2l when sixth at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last time; remains well handicapped on his old form and he shouldn't be far away. |

On a long losing sequence (for Darryll Holland) but he made a promising start for James Owen after a three-month layoff when second of 12 in 1m AW Lingfield handicap nine days ago; big shout nudged up 1lb. |

Signed off for Darryll Holland with a below-par run at Kempton in January but had gone close off today's mark over C&D a few days earlier and it will be interesting to see what James Owen can do with him (same owner). |

20-1 for her stable debut here two weeks ago but she kept on well to see off nine rivals (1m, firm); still has plenty of handicapping scope and she could be the answer. |

Not straightforward and was tailed off after missing the break at Ffos Las last month but he won by 4l there (6f, heavy) on his penultimate start; has claims if he can recapture that form and he has won off a higher mark in the past. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard. |

Dual winner for Jamie Osborne last year, the latest at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in October; regressive in three starts over 7f here since returning for this yard in March, though, and will need the switch to cheekpieces to make a difference; yard also runs Golden Pharaoh. |
