16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to win a handicap but there have been some near misses this summer, including when half a length behind Abbey Heights at Wolverhampton in June; gelded since last in action and he returns with his stable going well; good draw and he's high on the list. |
4/1 |

13 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has some solid form to his name, notably seconds at Haydock and Wolverhampton; 2lb well in but there are other improving sorts on show. |
12/1 |
|
4 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on Southwell Tapeta on second start; can probably still raise his game in 6f handicaps, having had a poor run at Newcastle on first attempt and running to a useful level at Haydock in May before a shade onepaced in fourth at Windsor since; the likely good pace here will suit. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Repelled Happy Banner at Chepstow (1m, good to firm); had a wide trip when fourth off this 3lb higher mark at Kempton; hard to rule out; all turf runs on good or faster. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up in two AW novice events in 2024 and 2025, and got off the mark at the seventh attempt when landing a handicap at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in June; he's lightly raced and unexposed over this trip, so could have more to offer. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Promise in AW novices and on handicap debut when third at Doncaster (7f, good) last June; has since had wind surgery and should be sharper following his return from ten-month layoff when sixth of seven at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); another to consider. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win in 22 starts came over C&D (good to firm) in June last year and now 12lb lower, but his five efforts this year (including three for this yard) don't suggest he is ready to take advantage. |
20/1 |

11th 6 (11) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
5f winner here last June for another trainer; has another career-low mark today, having lost his way; third race for current yard. |
20/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A repeat of the form which netted him a C&D second last month (good to firm) off today's mark would take him close; hard to blame his Doncaster flop since on the return to a 1m trip he has won over before. |
8/1 |
|
11th 15 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back in better form over 7f at Doncaster and Leicester the last twice; still attractively treated, having gained sole handicap win off 12lb higher (over 1m); respected. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His form has deteriorated since his last win last May but he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; has another career-low mark today and is not ruled out. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
11-race maiden; one encouraging effort for new yard in December but she hasn't built on it twice since (blinkered latest); needs more to come out on top. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
First crack at middle distances when respectable fourth over C&D last month but she was beaten 17l at Kempton (1m3f) two weeks later; has something to prove again after that and she's now 0-10; first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |
|
2 (8) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Promising 2yo debut before highly tried at Royal Ascot last summer; not so good back from a six-month break and she was well beaten when last seen at Yarmouth in April; sold for 10,000gns the following month; betting to guide on stable debut. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D scorer who comes here in decent form, sixth of 13 in 6f Southwell handicap 18 days ago; she's one for the shortlist off a falling mark. |
12/1 |

5 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Gained sole win off 2lb higher (on turf) and Cian Horgan takes off 5lb today; attractively weighted and in reasonable form. |

1st May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No better than sixth in three 6f novice/maiden runs in the latter part of 2024; cheekpieces fitted for this handicap debut and the extra furlong may help too. |

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. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Displayed a dark side when virtually refusing to race at Southwell on his seasonal/stable debut (also first run after gelding and wind operations) but he left that behind when a major eyecatcher at Chelmsford five weeks ago, held up under restraint but making a notable move in the fourth furlong, only for those exertions to take their toll late on; should be capable of better and while there is a slight concern he might fluff the start again, he's an intriguing contender against exposed opposition. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well held in three runs for Craig Lidster last year and he virtually refused to race on recent handicap/stable at Southwell (first run after wind/gelding operations); has plenty to prove on several counts and can only be watched at present. |
20/1 |
