18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily progressive and has a largely solid record; won well in his last handicap attempt, then ran well in Listed grade; gelded since; has C&D form and looks an interesting contender on seasonal debut, with further improvement a possibility; market support should be heeded. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Reliable sort who's found some improvement in recent starts, on last two occasions taking second at Ascot (7f, soft) and winning well in a handicap at Haydock (1m, good to soft); first crack at 1m suited him very well last time but another step forward is required. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 6f novice (heavy) here as 2yo but a long way from repeating that promise in 2025 and now tries something new, a drop in trip in first-time headgear. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Promising 2yo who was well suited by slow ground; struggled in three runs this year but should get his ground today and a revival could be on the cards. |
4/1 |
|
3 (7) |
12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All races at 6f; progressive 2yo who ended the season with a novice win at Leicester (heavy) but he's had a very slow start to 2025 and has been gelded since last seen in May; some questions to answer over new trip. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Second to one who went on to complete a hat-trick next time before being demoted to second after dead-heating over C&D; beaten a little over a length, but managed only fifth, in muddling contest just four days later; this test should suit better. |
9/2 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 but he was was demoted to second after forcing a dead-heat in 1m handicap at Kempton on Monday (bumped rival close home); 2lb well in off the same mark here and he chased home a subsequent winner at this track (8.6f) on his penultimate run; big player. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 in handicaps since joining this yard, but a much better effort when chasing home a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; a player from the same mark. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Nothing wrong with the form of his C&D win in March but he has struggled since, including after wind surgery in May; tongue-tie added for the first time and cheekpieces replace blinkers; not discounted. |
13/2 |
|
9 (12) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Can make the running as when gaining his sole success at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March, but his three efforts since returning to turf have been underwhelming; 1lb lower than for his win, but still has enough to prove. |
20/1 |
|
7th 11 (6) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Made all in a Newcastle handicap (5f, AW) in March but he's been disappointing in both runs since, including after wind surgery at Pontefract two weeks ago; blinkers are now added and he has quite a bit to prove again back up in trip. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who made it four wins from his last six starts when scoring at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) last month; also effective on good/good to firm ground; a 3lb rise should not prevent another big run. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (9) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won reappearance, completing the hat-trick, at Thirsk (7f, good; from 4lb lower) in April; pressed the winner hard at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is a slightly longer trip; useful claimer in the saddle. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Showed only minor promise in three 2yo races (6f-7f; gelded since) and makes handicap debut after a one-year absence, but today's trip is more in keeping with his stamina and he needs close attention in the betting. |
3/1 |

6th 7 (1) |
11th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
33-1, slowly away and always in rear on last month's debut at Newbury (7f, good); however, he represents a powerful 2yo stable and it will be interesting to see if he's stronger in the betting on this second start. |

8,500gns yearling who went for £25,000 at the breeze-ups; stamina on dam's side of pedigree and interesting to see how he gets on over this trip on debut. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Southwell winner (7f); couldn't hold off a late challenge at Doncaster (7f; 13-2) on penultimate start; restless in the stalls and ran too free when favourite at Beverley latest; perhaps a few pounds too high in the weights. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Registered sole win on AW but he produced a career-best RPR when going down by only a neck at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) most recently; possibilities, provided that form is backed up. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough with a clearcut success at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last September but he's not gone on from that and was down the field on Thirsk reappearance (7f, good) last month; still 8lb higher than for his win and others are preferred. |
