16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Midfield at Ayr (6f, heavy) last Thursday and same story at York (5f, soft) on Friday; however, he twice went close on consecutive days at the end of September (5f/6f, soft/heavy) and is not ruled out under Billy Loughnane. |
14/1 |

2nd 6 (4) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in June and runner-up on next two starts, over this C&D (soft) on the latter occasion; three lesser runs followed but he was bang there when third back on soft ground at Hamilton (5f) yesterday and has to be considered after that revival. |

Class 5 success over C&D initiated a solid start to the season; the subsequent other half of his campaign is characterised by a dip in form; no certainty to take advantage of drop back down weights. |

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. |
5/2 |
|
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 |

5th 3 (8) |
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. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In-form 8yo who can boast four wins and four seconds from 13 starts here; nailed Jojo Rabbit in the final stride at Pontefract (5f, good) on Thursday; goes unpenalised for that success and must be considered. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month before close second at Carlisle (5f, good), and he suffered a troubled passage when 3l ninth of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) last Tuesday; this in-form 8yo is high on the list. |
2/1 |

9th 11 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Finally back to winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in August and followed it up with a good neck second of 12 in 5f Carlisle handicap six days ago; not taken lightly in his current mood. |

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 |

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. |

20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner but has not been great of late, in this new headgear combination for last two races (slow ground not an obvious excuse); others preferred right now. |
7/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Only fifth of nine over C&D (soft) last month but went off too hard in first-time cheekpieces (retained); completed a hat-trick on soft/heavy ground last autumn and he was also on the scoresheet at Sandown (5f, good) this June; all those wins came under Grace McEntee who is back on board today. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Multiple sprint wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; back to best when making all at Sandown in June and he might have needed the run there last week following a break; now goes in cheekpieces which raises a question as blinkers weren't a successful addition in the past. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

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. |
10/1 |
|
2 (3) |
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. |
16/1 |

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. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Veteran who beat Supremissy over C&D (heavy) eight days ago, registering a fourth success at Hamilton; likely to remain competitive, even with 4lb penalty; has defied higher marks. |
