27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reliable operator on AW and after wins at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton he found only Tuco Salamanca too strong in his hat-trick bid in March; better off with that rival today but not sure he's quite so progressive. |
16/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
2-2 this year, winning 6f handicaps at Chelmsford in January and at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; 6lb rise for latest success takes him to a career-high mark but he is well drawn and should give it another good go. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Running in this race for the third time, having finished second in 2024 and fourth last year; those runs were after a break but he has the benefit of a run this time around, winning a 6f handicap at Chelmsford five weeks ago; still on a feasible mark and he is a key player for a stable going well. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dry since a C&D win in 2023 and has looked on the downgrade in recent times; goes back to cheekpieces from blinkers, minus the tongue-tie again, after four months off; outsider. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five-time winner after 32 starts so he's exposed, but he was in a good vein of form when last seen in the spring, and he won't mind what the weather does. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Twice a runner-up over 6f this winter, including here, but he raced too freely in one 7f run and he still has to prove he needs this far. |

He has finished second on his last two attempts at this trip, chasing home Hundred Caps at Southwell 17 days ago; 4lb better off with his old rival today; each-way claims. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Far from straightforward and his best form has come on AW; two good runs and three poor runs since joining Ruth Carr, his latest Newcastle fourth (blinkered first time) falling into the former category; not the most solid option but he is better than this level on his day and it is always worth a second look when Billy Loughnane is booked for the stable (four wins and four seconds from 22 rides). |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
5lb lower than when third on his stable debut in February; struggled since and connections now reach for blinkers; not solid but he's more than capable on his day. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Blew hot and cold for Jack Channon and signs that it may be the same for new connections, shaping well at Wolverhampton in February but turning in lesser efforts twice since; well handicapped if this is one of his good days and the return of cheekpieces (first time for Ruth Carr) looks a plus. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Gradually back to form this term, most recently prevailing at Goodwood (6f, good to soft); has never won above Class 5 but she remains favourably treated, having defied current mark last term (over 7f). |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Strike-rate of 4-35; best run for a while when a front-running second at Lingfield (7f, good) and dropping back to 6f won't hinder, nor the slower ground; could have done with a higher draw ideally but should run well. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Capable of fairly useful form but finished last of 18 over C&D in final start for Jamie Osborne; sold for 18,000gns later in October; headgear switch; best watched. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won a heavy-ground handicap at Salisbury last month and backed it up with a good second at Newmarket; below that level at Goodwood 12 days ago and needs a full revival. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Back to winning ways at Salisbury (6f, heavy) last month and second at Newmarket (6f, heavy) since; this in-form C&D winner has solid claims. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Listed winner at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in March before close second in Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket (6f, good); returned to form when first of four in the far-side group in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon (6f, good) three weeks ago; has something to find in today's company but he's 2-3 on soft ground and is not ruled out each-way. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive handicapper last year; took form to a new level with a Listed win at Doncaster on his seasonal return and performed to a similar level when second in the Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket in April; Group 1 company was too much to handle at Royal Ascot and a mighty performance will be needed to defy his big weight back in a handicap (12lb higher than for his narrow Ascot win last October). |
9/1 |
|
15th 2 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Last season concluded with C&D handicap win (soft); better than ever this year with a Listed win (6f, good to soft) and Group 3 second (6f, good) and another solid run when fifth of 13 in Group 2 at York (6f, good) last time; however, his form needs to go to another new level today. |

Better effort when fourth of ten at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) this month and now 2lb below his last winning mark, but he is just 1-42 in Britain. |

4th 10 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Low-key run at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; return to a longer trip is in his favour but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
20/1 |

11th 12 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Lingfield (1m, AW) in January; up and down since that success and could prove vulnerable back sprinting. |
