26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 7f AW maiden as 3yo; very understated in early handicaps for this yard but he's been involved in three tight finishes at 1m3f and 1m2f on AW in 2026 and the step up to 2m in March looked more of an experiment than a plan; acts on turf and has claims back at 1m2f. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still to add to his 7f maiden win for Charles Hills in October 2024 but he has been banging at the door this year, placed on his last four starts (1m2f-1m4f); goes into unknown territory in terms of stamina and he's by Blue Point so there has to be a question mark. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo; ended last season with odds-on win at Newcastle (7f novice) but reappeared with a tailed-off effort on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) in May; has something to prove after that major blip and this looks tough on turf debut. |
33/1 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
31st May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive in three starts over 7f on Tapeta last October, culminating in success in a four-runner Newcastle novice (second won next time); this trip shouldn't be an issue and market useful on handicap debut after seven months off. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
12-race maiden who was below form in five runs last year; his mark continues to drop but is best watched until showing positive signs. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
11-race maiden; yet to strike form after four runs for new stable this season but will cope if the ground softens and is quite well drawn; Billy Loughnane rides; well worth a second look. |
14/1 |
|
12th 4 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Ten-race maiden who has yet to shine for his new stable this summer; slipping down the weights but this might prove too competitive. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ran okay at Newcastle (7f) in October after long absence but well beaten on handicap debut there (7f again) the following month; off for a further four months ahead of this turf debut over a longer trip; can only be watched. |
40/1 |

23rd Nov 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Had three races for as many different trainers; ran okay here last month given his long absence but remains to be seen whether he builds on that now into a handicap. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Began her career in handicaps with a BHA mark of 60 and has improved in leaps and bounds since; seemed to excel herself when never-nearer sixth of 26 in Group 1 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm; 40-1) last month; had run creditably over C&D the time before; big chance if repeating Ascot form. |
6/1 |

Useful handicapper whose three wins have all come on the AW, most recently over 5f in January; faces a daunting task this time. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Today's handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity and a market check is advised, but this 4yo has shown very little when massive odds on his first three starts (7f-1m3f). |
33/1 |

2 (8) |
11th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Massive odds and well beaten last autumn on his first two starts (1m/7f, AW); very hard to fancy on this first outing since. |

Nine-race maiden who has not finished closer than 7l to a winner including in six handicaps; passed over. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Unplaced in eight starts and hard to recommend on what he has shown in handicaps. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Looks a poor maiden and he beat just two in 6f Ayr handicap 11 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now and a tongue-tie is also refitted. |
