25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet a year since he almost defied 8lb higher on quick turf (1m); mixed bag since, and hard to find any benefit from a third wind operation in the winter, but he's too well treated not to bear in mind at least. |

5th 7 (5) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |

11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
She's thrived since joining this yard and made it 4-7 for the stable when making all in a Listed race at Pontefract (1m, good) three weeks ago; today's company demands further improvement but she might still have more to offer and could make another bold bid. |

1st 12 (9) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
6-19, her latest success when making all to win a handicap at Ascot (1m, good) in May, but she finished behind three of these in the Kensington Palace back there (1m, good to firm) last month; more needed. |
6/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Yet another success story for the James Owen yard, with her all-the-way defeat of Song N Dance and Alobayyah over C&D (good) last month her third win in just five starts for the stable; enjoyed the run of things from the front on that occasion but further progress isn't discounted. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressive 8yo who returned from a break with two low-key runs (8.3f/7f) in June/July; should be fine over today's longer trip and is too well handicapped to rule out but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple turf winner who is 1-19 on AW; perked up with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December but he's not come close to that form in three subsequent runs; may have needed his Nottingham reappearance last month but his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Dual C&D winner who had a near-miss off this mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; didn't fire in his final two runs during the winter but has claims if he can rediscover his spark after a break. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained last three wins on AW, including latest start; effective on turf but has never won away from Leicester in this sphere; something to prove back up in grade. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

His heyday was two winters back but he still won last July (1m1f on turf) and is often thereabouts, including on Tapeta; not totally ruled out despite the 106-day absence. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

Landed a sixth success when winning a 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in July; kept at in when fourth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) under a penalty six days later and excuses both starts since; very much respected. |

In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |
