27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual sprint winner for previous yard; best effort for new stable when fifth over C&D on penultimate start; chance of faring better partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
12th 4 (2) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not beaten far into fifth at Wolverhampton seven weeks ago (7f), his second run for new connections; dropping to a stiff 6f should help and he still has time on his side. |
12/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f novice at Wolverhampton on his second start and followed up in a 6f handicap at Kempton in January; absent since finishing down the field in a Listed race at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) in March; should be capable of better but raced exclusively on AW and the suitability of heavy going has to be taken on trust. |

Improved with each of her three starts this winter, running out a cosy winner of a 5f maiden at Wolverhampton when last seen 126 days ago; brings potential to this handicap debut and she's not ruled out. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Poor effort last time will need forgiving but he's always been capable of the odd stinker; better drawn than for two runs here early in the year and it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Only 1-14 but he's a strong traveller who only narrowly missed out at Lingfield (6f) and Goodwood (5f, good) before a midfield finish at Windsor where never really involved; has a big effort in him. |
15/2 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 1-13 but he's been knocking on the door at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Goodwood (5f, good) this spring; up another 2lb but this strong traveller was only just caught last time and the first three pulled clear in that race; key player. |

Signed off for 2025 with 6f success here in October; looked rusty after seven months off when ninth of ten in 5f Windsor handicap last month; should strip sharper here. |
8/1 |
|
9th 12 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been on Tapeta and latest was at Southwell (6f) in her final run last season; 4lb higher on her return but she's still lightly raced on turf and should be unfazed by this drop back in trip; needs watching in market. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Again hung left when winning a small-field Polytrack handicap in February; absent for four months since a poor effort off this mark at Chelmsford and goes in a first-time tongue-tie here (had a wind op last autumn). |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
8th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Going the right way and made his handicap debut a winning one in four-runner race at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) last month, quickening to lead last 100 yards; open to further improvement and should go well again. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
2nd Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Form figures of 753 reflect that he's moving steadily in the right direction; hung left the last twice, perhaps still green; interesting handicap debutant, with another step forward possible. |

9st 10lb |
Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but three lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game. |

Has won over 6f and 5f on the AW since March and he's perfectly capable on turf, though perhaps not on ground easier than good judged on latest run at Chepstow. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

12-race maiden making his seasonal/stable debut following nine-month absence; down to a career-low mark but probably best watched for now. |

9th 6 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

11-race maiden who isn't progressing; has run well over C&D on a couple of occasions this year but he looks opposable on balance. |

8th 7 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden; three good runs from four attempts for his new stable but he will need to pull out extra if he is to break his duck. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A stout stayer over 1m and Salisbury's stiff test suited him in May (good) where he overcame trouble in running to lead near the line; has had excuses since but he has a good run in him if this is truly run. |

Record of 4-9 in 1m events on turf, most recently scoring at Salisbury on penultimate start; well held in competitive 1m2f event latest; drop back to ideal trip is the angle with him. |
