5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Quite experienced now so should have known better than to race so freely before dropping out at Newmarket two weeks ago; if giving himself a chance, this triple winner is not handicapped out of it. |
10/1 |

14th 3 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
In decent form for Jack Jones in the spring and, after a close second on his stable debut in June, he won at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in July and Kempton (1m, AW) last time; drawn on the wing and he's up 3lb but the hat-trick must be a possibility. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Resurgent 4yo who has form figures of 23221 since April and beat a clear second when scoring at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month on his second run for James Owen; a 4lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player back on AW. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win for two previous yards but showed the right attitude, back in the hood, when getting up off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton (favourite Court Drive third); will need a bit more if she's to follow up. |

9th Apr 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Latest effort excusable (caught wide over 7f, a trip she's not proven at) but she isn't progressing and needs a career best if she is to shed her maiden status on her first run for a new stable; the hood returns tonight. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win (0-12); twice placed since joining this trainer, including when a keeping-on third at Wolverhampton (7f; 16-1) three weeks ago; that form has been boosted by the winner and fourth; wide draw to overcome in stall 12. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Bettered underwhelming stable debut when rallying third in maiden handicap at Carlisle (nearly 7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; recent 3lb drop is helpful and this return to Tapeta should suit; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Well treated on his best form for Seb Spencer but he's been out of sorts in his last four runs including when last of eight on stable debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; overall record is now 0-10 and he needs a major revival. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Patchy form in six starts for this yard, but his penultimate effort when third of 11 at Kempton (7f, AW) would put him in the picture off this 2lb lower mark; not easy to predict. |
20/1 |
|
7th 12 (13) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice over 6f at Lingfield when trained by Harry Charlton; solid efforts in two of his last three runs, third of 11 over C&D (Philanthropist second) last month; others appeal more for win purposes. |

11st 0lb |
Sole win in 23 starts came at Bath in April when she bolted up over 1m on good; dropped out to finish last of 16 on yard debut at Naas last month; needs to leave that effort well behind. |

16th 13 (8) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Sole win in 22 starts came at Bath in April when she bolted up by 4.5l over 1m on good; finished second off revised mark twice since, including at Nottingham 39 days ago; form has worked out; interesting on stable debut dropped in trip. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Warm favourite for his Newcastle debut in November but could only manage fourth; no real progress since and although he should be sharper with a recent run behind him, he does have a bit to prove now upped to a mile and fitted with a visor. |
12/1 |
|
3 (5) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No progress in 6f AW events in late 2024; however, may be capable of better now handicapping over new trip on turf; market should offer further guidance on reappearance. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Contrasting efforts over C&D since returning from layoff and switched to handicaps, finishing third then well held; may progress if rebound materialises. |
12/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Unexposed after just four runs; looked green as a 2yo and appeared a much improved model when third of eight over C&D (good ground) 18 days ago, fading after eight months off; the hood (omitted on return) goes back on today; in good hands and has far more potential than most of today's rivals. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Down the field in three novice runs on Tapeta in the winter (6f twice and 8.6f); surprising if he doesn't prove more competitive now handicapping at a modest level; betting to guide. |

Little show in his six starts to date and he failed to beat a rival in 5f Wetherby handicap when last seen out in June; he's very hard to make a case for. |
