11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Eight AW wins, two last winter in 2m handicaps; however, he failed to beat a rival in Group 3 at Sandown (2m, good) on turf return, has tons to prove on turf record (0-5) and even best AW form does not look good enough. |

Progressive on AW in the winter with 2m handicap wins at Kempton and Newcastle; however, only fifth of 12 at Newcastle (2m) last month and the suitability of turf is questionable. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not the most consistent but won off this mark over C&D in October and ran well at Lingfield on penultimate outing; a bit below form when hooded first time 15 days ago in a small field; player if it's one of his good days. |

Tailed off at Southwell last time which was too bad to be true as does have form there; he's won twice here and ran well over C&D in December behind one who scored impressively last week; considered under Oisin Murphy. |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Can front-run; completed a double over C&D last autumn; has come up short in his five starts since (three here) and was a notch below his best on last three occasions, but no fitness concerns and he's 1lb below his last winning mark. |
8/1 |

Overall strike-rate of 6-20 and a four-time winner on the AW; finished behind Cello last time despite having the run of things but he's likeably reliable and should give backers a run for their money. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

Best form on AW but has won on turf and it was his best effort on grass when third of six at Newbury (2m, good; plugged on) three weeks ago; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |

9st 7lb |
16lb below his last winning mark, but losing run now up to 15; might get more of a pace to run at than when fifth of nine over C&D last time, but others have more to recommend them; stable also runs Simiyann. |
11/4 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
8st 3lb |
Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in. |
11/2 |

7 (3) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Dry since a C&D win off 12lb higher early last year and will need to put a couple of below-par efforts behind him; the return to Polytrack will help, though, and he can never be ruled out round here. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

0-8 for current yard; has a good chance on best turf form but failed to reproduce it in C&D contest (behind a few of these rivals) three weeks ago on AW debut; something to prove. |

Quite highly tried after winning first three starts in Ireland; uncompetitive in Britain bar running well in Shergar Cup contest in August; probably found 1m4f to be an inadequate test 11 days ago mind; rather watch AW debut. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture. |
5/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Two 1m4f AW wins for Denis Quinn in the winter and a respectable fifth at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April on sole starts for John Ryan; left the impression he's still in form at Thirsk 19 days ago on his first start for this yard and cheekpieces now go on. |

Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut. |

Better expected last time, after two poor efforts and back to the visor from cheekpieces, but ran below market expectations in finishing behind Merrijig; 2lb better off today but has work to do if he's to turn things round. |

4th 5 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win last August came off an 8lb higher mark; the booking of Billy Loughnane will draw some in, back to the visor worn for his two AW victories, but two poor efforts on turf lately will need overlooking. |

10th 4 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival. |

Capable of useful form on Flat and over jumps; however, hasn't scored under this code since 2022 and needs to improve on his 2025 AW efforts; admittedly this 8yo may benefit from today's drop back in class. |

Fine servant to his team but hasn't got his head in front since winning a four-runner chase in late 2023; 33-1 and never dangerous back on the Flat three weeks ago at Kempton (2m). |
