1st 8 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner (made all both times), including when beating Travel Agent in April; below his best on turf next time but he's been placed on the AW in both starts since; contender. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoying a consistent year, winning twice from the front at Kempton since the blinkers went on (doesn't have to lead); nothing wrong with his clear second at Southwell a month ago and holds decent claims despite a further 2lb rise. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got the better of a rival who has won twice since when scoring at Kempton three weeks ago (6f); not in the same form at Nottingham last time but it was 5f and he had an inexperienced apprentice on board; high on the list back at 6f and returned to AW. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Consistent gelding who ran another solid race when second of eight at Southwell two weeks ago; sets the standard and looks sure to go well again. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-race maiden; disappointing favourite kept to 7f last time but gave the impression this drop back in trip is worth exploring; major player on peak efforts. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Shaped well amidst evident inexperience on his Chelmsford debut last November (6f); not so good on his reappearance in May but he was gelded and underwent wind surgery soon after that; back from a break with a fine second at Kempton two weeks ago (wore this combination of accessories for the first time); obvious claims with a repeat. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |
5/1 |
|
6th 4 (11) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, but had previously narrowly beaten the winner of that race over this C&D; drawn wide, but still respected if bouncing back now returned here. |
15/2 |

7th 9 (4) |

Snapped a losing sequence a fortnight ago at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) where benefiting from the strong pace to collar Anthropologist close home; unexposed at today's trip and a 3lb rise isn't harsh; he's one to consider. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Started off for Lemos De Sousa with two encouraging AW runs in the spring (5f/6f) and can be excused this month's turf defeat (suffered interference); would appeal more on ground slower than good but has slipped to a tempting mark and may be aided by the refitted blinkers. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |

Patchy after a debut win (heavy) last spring and been tried in various forms of headgear; not beaten far in a couple of AW handicaps in the spring, when having excuses each time, and won't mind any rain. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Her first two handicap runs were encouraging enough but well short of that level on her last four starts; this is her first run at 0-50 level and a revival isn't impossible. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Good second over 6f on her nursery debut in December; not seen again until a respectable fourth back at Lingfield (7f, also Polytrack) earlier this month; firm step backwards over that C&D just nine days later and this is another fairly tight turnaround. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he shaped better than his placing suggests in 5f handicaps at Redcar and Lingfield on his first two runs this term; went without headgear when only sixth of eight in 5f Newcastle handicap last time but no surprise to see him play a prominent role here in refitted blinkers. |
7/2 |

6th 2 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was a 5f handicap at Chelmsford in March 2025 when visored for the first time; would have a chance on his C&D second off 8lb higher last November, but below-par recently; no visor this time. |
6/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead. |
