5th 7 (3) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it second-time lucky when landing a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last December; 0-7 since but he's been placed in two of his last three handicaps and ran better than the bare result back at Kempton (7f) last time; still unexposed at this trip and has possibilities off dangerous mark. |
11/2 |

8th 7 (2) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Connections got a couple of runs into him late last year and he managed a win (here); narrow personal best when upped to 7f this month (second, no match for winner; also here) before seemingly caught out back sprinting on Saturday; chance. |
7/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Good and bad this season but a slow start didn't help when blinkered for the first time at Kempton (7f) and he finished his race out well; quick enough for 6f and, if breaking better here, then should have a say. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Produced peak performance over C&D, namely close second to Elmonjed in Listed event; however, faces a stiffer assignment in this higher grade and his reappearance effort (heavy defeat in Newmarket Group 3) hardly bodes well. |
33/1 |
|
13th 3 (10) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 0-5 on turf compared to 2-3 on AW; admittedly registered his peak RPR in this sphere when second Elmonjed in York Listed contest (6f) on penultimate appearance; however, needs an even bigger effort to go one better in this field. |
20/1 |

3yo British raider beaten a head on first try in stakes company in a listed race at York three weeks ago (6f, good); seemed to handle soft on debut so should be fine if the ground eases; not discounted. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Two from two this term, namely comfortable wins in C&D maiden in April and Haydock novice event in July, both over 7f on good ground; gelded prior to last time; respected with further improvement plausible. |
2/1 |

4th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Promising third on his Kempton debut in December (6f) and more than backed up that positive impression when running away with a 7f maiden (good) at Newmarket 11 weeks ago; looked a fine prospect there and he's a strong contender despite his 7lb penalty; been gelded. |

Winner of a Southwell 7f handicap but that was a messy race and looks dodgy form; offered little on stable debut when upped to 1m at Haydock. |

Ran awful after winning a 7f AW maiden but emerged from behind to edge home in a 7f handicap at Southwell (AW; High On Hope and Sex On Fire close up); that might be dodgy form but has only gone up 2lb; now with John Ryan. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

7f winner at Brighton in spring but soundly beaten on last two starts and she has something to prove back on AW. |
16/1 |
|
7 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced at 1m and ran poorly on final appearance in June (6f); take away that effort and she had done well in 7f handicaps, beating three rivals here and then close up at Salisbury in a race that's worked out; also goes well fresh. |
15/2 |
|
10th 5 (10) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better since handicapping on turf, improving a touch on her small-field Brighton win when a close third in a Salisbury handicap that's working out well; no issues with 7f, though, and needs more again back down to sprinting. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-race maiden but he produced a strong finish from off the pace to go close in a Nottingham handicap (5f, soft) last Thursday; has different conditions to deal with this time but he's unexposed on turf and is a big player if he can repeat that latest form; hood is removed. |
3/1 |

2nd 6 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Maiden after ten starts, seemingly best on the AW but he could never get involved on apparently favourable terms in a Wolverhampton classified event recently and has work to do back on turf. |
14/1 |

6th 3 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Free-going maiden who bumped into one when making a lot of the running from a similar draw over C&D in April; gone both ways under pressure before but this is his first crack at 0-50 company and he's one to consider. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

0-10 but she's well handicapped on her best form and hasn't had a clear run at things in last two starts (7f, good/Tapeta); her best effort was on Polytrack and has possibilities if things go her way. |
