Made all over C&D in June and runner-up on his next two starts; below his best last time at Ayr but a revival would come as no surprise. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No longer the force of old but was close third off today's career-low mark here (6f, good) eight days ago; eased in grade today and can handle the drop back to 5f; must be considered. |

3rd 6 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came at York when trained by Richard Hannon; denied a clear run when finishing fifth of ten at Sandown (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; has dropped to a career-low mark but may be getting his act together. |
6/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Spoiled chance by refusing to settle on seasonal/stable but this month's midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good to firm) was more encouraging; has slipped to a dangerous mark and should now be approaching concert pitch. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who is 0-14 this season, with mixed form, but there have been bright points and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; this two-time C&D winner is not discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Nine-time turf winner who is well treated on his win at Catterick last spring; has been up and down since but he's finished runner-up four times this year including at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; could be dangerous in another switch of headgear. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest C&D second on good to firm shows he's in reasonable form; ought to be in the mix again at a course which suits (four wins) but all nine career successes have come on good or softer. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Wolverhampton last month when returning from 137 days off (typically started slowly); tongue-tie returns and is a dual winner on turf (5f; one on good to firm) but hard to support. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (5) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two of his first four starts but his losing run is up to 15 and he was short of his best in three runs early in the year; sold for 5,000gns in February and new yard quick to get him back sprinting; worth a market check off his reduced mark. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (7) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 5f turf winner; would have each-way claims if able to reproduce his Newcastle effort from three starts ago but has taken a couple of backward steps since. |

All eight wins have been on good ground or slower, the most recent coming when making all over C&D (good) in June; now 6lb higher having been off since but he ran well off this mark at Bath last October. |

5f-6f winner when trained in Ireland, including on heavy; placed in all four starts for this trainer but needs to pull out a bit more for a first British success. |

Ran respectably over 6f at Yarmouth (stable debut) last time; gained his sole handicap success off current mark; possibilities if proving as effective back at 7f. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner who won a maiden on soft ground at Redcar for Karl Burke last May; patchy form since winning a Wolverhampton handicap (also 6f, AW) in March and he left George Boughey for 17,000gns after trailing in last of five at Nottingham (5f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie/blinkers) in July; headgear removed for this stable debut. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Run over various distances of late and the experimenting continues, with cheekpieces replaced by a first-time tongue-tie and first-time blinkers; achieved little in three runs on fast turf, so comes with risks attached. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Conditions should be ideal for this course regular and although his 2026 record is unconvincing, he has dropped 14lb as a result; usual cheekpieces back on after one run in a visor; each-way shout. |

8th 7 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Three wins here, two over this trip, the other over 6f; well beaten when returning from a break last time; not out of it in first-time visor, but ideally needs soft/heavy ground. |
