14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Couldn't justify good support but still shaped nicely when under 3l second of nine over C&D (good; 5-4) 17 days ago, running green when first coming under pressure; should have learnt from that first experience and may go one better. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to win a handicap but not for a lack of effort and he ran well for second over C&D last month; perhaps stretched by 1m2f at Lingfield last month and he is one to take seriously back down in trip. |
3/1 |
|
11th 8 (4) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came in a Lingfield maiden (6f, AW) a year ago, but is back off the same mark as when beaten half a length over C&D (good to firm) in May; soft ground not a problem and each-way claims if reproducing that form. |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
6f AW maiden winner who seems to stay this trip; not at best on last three starts (hung left returned to AW last time) and will have to fare better if he's to win this. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last two 7f wins came off just a 1lb lower mark, most recently in February, but he wasn't at his best in two runs last month on turf and the AW; others higher up the list. |
14/1 |
|
8 (3) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February; good second over 6f at Newcastle next time but his form has cooled in last two starts; bit to prove again and he needs to bounce back near best. |
12/1 |
|
8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins have been at 7f but he was a good second over this trip at Newcastle on AW finals day; didn't pack the same punch when fifth at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time but he's still unexposed as a sprinter and is not ruled out back in trip. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
In-form filly who has been placed twice (1m2f/1m) since last month's comfortable win at Bath (1m, firm); lost out only by a short head when back at Bath a week ago and is 1lb ahead of the handicapper for this first attempt at 1m4f; has big role to play if stamina holds out. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just two wins from 30 starts but her last success was by 4l over C&D (firm) last month and she backed that up with a close third at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); on same mark as last time and she should be in the thick of things again. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Ended a losing run in emphatic style at Bath (1m) ten days ago; hiked up 9lb but not taken lightly on her first go over 1m2f. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3yo who returned to form in reapplied cheekpieces and a first-time tongue-tie (both retained) to win at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last month; led on the line last time and this further increase in distance could be a positive; effective here and she's one to consider. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course winner at 1m in February and she followed that with two close calls at the trip on Tapeta and turf; no progress since returning from a short break, though, and she has some holes in her case up in distance with returning cheekpieces replacing a visor and a tongue-tie added. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Had his yard debut sewn up from some way out on this track (7f, good to firm) in July but subsequently faded over 1m here; on the upgrade on Chelmsford AW since, showing plenty of dash on the drop to 6f but reeled in late, then ridden more patiently and finally getting to the front over 7f there since; has potential back at 6f on return to turf. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on stable debut last month and bounced back to form when beaten at a neck here over 6f two weeks ago (first-time tongue-tie); up 2lb but returns to 7f with solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 11 (2) |
14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Tried over 1m4f by Simon Pearce and is having a first go in a sprint tonight having been said to have run freely last time (when turned out quickly under a penalty; 8.3f); faces a different test in a first-time tongue-tie stepping up from 0-55 company. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed a few times on turf/Polytrack last year, but has regressed since joining this yard and now 0-17; look elsewhere. |

8th 6 (1) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden (0-16); often placed for Sean Woods but yet to threaten to click into gear for this trainer; weakened late on when last of nine at Southwell (6f; 9-1) 16 days ago. |
20/1 |

10 (2) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

0-12 for Sean Woods but he's finished placed five times including when runner-up in a classified event at Yarmouth (7f, good) in August; on unchanged mark back in a handicap and has each-way claims again for new yard. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-11 but was runner-up in two AW handicaps in January and he's finished placed on turf (1m2f, good to firm) in his last two starts; edging back up the weights but he got crowded out in the closing stages at Newmarket last time and he looks worth a try at this new trip; in the mix. |

3rd 1 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
4yo who has finished out of the first two only once in eight handicap starts, gaining compensation for a pair of near-misses this year when well on top over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle 12 days ago; just as effective at 1m6f and on turf; the one to beat. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

4yo who has form figures of 1221522 in handicaps and he's been beaten a short head and a nose in his two runs (1m4f/1m6f) this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back in trip; major player. |

9st 6lb |
It was his second handicap when beaten about 5l in first-time blinkers at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) latest, easily his closest finish but fading into fifth of nine and he needs a good deal better; 5lb claimer now. |

Unable to justify prominence in the betting when well-held seventh on recent seasonal/handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) and connections now reach for blinkers; has a point to prove. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won three times last year; should be sharper following his seasonal return when seventh of 12 at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month but is 6lb higher than his last winning mark and may need to come down a few pounds. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Good progress as a 3yo, winning 1m handicaps at Chepstow (twice) and Nottingham, all on good ground; starts this year off a tougher mark; can win more races but perhaps not this one after 193 days off. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer whose two wins this year have come at Chepstow (1m, good); ran well when third of 12 in a stronger contest off this mark over C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago; a repeat would put him right in the picture. |
