Signed off for 2025 with a third C&D success in September but he's yet to fire this season, last of 14 over C&D in April; has it to prove after a break. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Prominent racer; three heavy defeats from four runs for his new stable in 2025 but the other run saw him spring a 40-1 surprise at Doncaster; blinkers join the eyeshields today but he drops to 6f for the first time on his 39th start. |
50/1 |
|

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Heavy defeats on his first two starts for this yard but he popped up at 40-1 when scrambling home at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time eye-shields) three weeks ago; 3lb rise less of a concern than his trainer putting one of the reasons for that success down to quick ground. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has run a number of good in defeat races this season, including fourth over C&D last month; went down only to a progressive 3yo at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the third and fourth have franked that form; bold show likely. |
5/2 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Exposed four-time winner; has run a number of good races this season and Doncaster last time was one of those, as he did well to finish so close after missing the break; not without hope. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done his winning at 7f-1m but recent form features two encouraging efforts over 1m2f (turf/AW); long losing spell remains a cause for concern, however. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time winner but his last success was in August 2022; on much reduced mark and was creditable third at Beverley (1m2f; tongue-tie added) in July but he was beaten 13l at Ripon last time and that took his losing run to 20; down the list. |
12/1 |
|
4 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Much lower in the weights than for the latest of five wins in 2022 and ran well when third of 14 behind a couple of dead-heaters (including Star Start) at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last time; each-way claims again despite a losing run of 19. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove. |
7/1 |

9th 4 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Caused 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and rebounded from lesser effort when second over the straight 1m at Ascot (good to firm; winner followed up soon afterwards) last month; considered. |
7/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sprang a 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January, and back to form when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should be thereabouts. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Mostly struggled since winning on his debut in 2023 but he posted a solid effort when third of 11 at Windsor (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie) last month; needs to back that up now dropped back in trip. |
