23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D in first-tiime cheekpieces on stable debut in July and followed up with narrow success at Epsom (6f, good to firm) last month; could still have more improvement to come for James Owen; must be considered. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Tim Easterby with two good efforts in the spring and made winning stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; will be fine back on turf and could still have more to offer for new stable; major player. |

1st 12 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Expensive to follow this season, having missed ten months, for Tim Easterby; run well on Tapeta before and a couple of times in a visor too, so it wouldn't surprise were to to take this in first-time cheekpieces. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has a poor strike-rate since 2022 and isn't particularly solid on 2025 efforts; however, drops in grade off a reduced mark and can't be dismissed; very similar type to Illusionist. |
11/1 |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

He's dropped to a dangerous mark and showed the odd hint of spark on occasions towards the end of last year; can go well fresh but he's been regressive and has a poor strike-rate over the last few years. |

Has done all his winning on Newcastle AW; however, finished a good second over C&D most recently and is due to go back up 1lb in future; holds a fighting chance in his attempt to go one better. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Five-time AW winner, the latest (May) his first over 7f; still seeking a first turf success but his two best runs on the grass came over C&D last summer; not discounted. |
10/1 |

Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

Maiden is 0-9 on turf; placed in a couple of maidens but has failed to make any impression in handicaps, including in first four runs for this yard; cheekpieces need to spark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Failed to win in Britain and not much encouragement to take from three runs for this stable; too keen at Naas on latest and others look more convincing. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Has modest 1-31 strike-rate but gave good account when third of 13 in 6f handicap here last month and now dips into this basement grade for the first time; fine over 7f; high on the list. |

3rd 5 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |
