16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
A sixth win here when beating five rivals in March on latest outing (7f); went up only 2lb but lacking a recent run is probably not ideal in this much deeper race. |
14/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 10lb lower mark; as good as ever when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (7f, Listed) in March but has found it tougher going since; apprentice's claim is useful but he still has little margin for error off this mark. |
9/1 |

8th 3 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Comfortable winner of a C&D handicap (good to firm) last August; better than ever when a close fourth in a Listed event at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well held in both subsequent runs and latest was in a C&D; has bit to prove again and this looks a tough task on the figures. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Triple 6f winner, including on good to soft; would have claims from this mark if able to produce one of his better two efforts for this trainer in 2026 but needs to bounce back after two lacklustre performances. |
16/1 |

11th 5 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Couldn't get involved from off the pace last time at Newmarket and good runs before then at Doncaster (blinkered) and Southwell (visored; all over 6f); as last time, he goes without headger, but stays 7f fine; not without hope. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His sole turf win was in 2023 but he was good third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) last time; headgear is now removed but he should go well again off unchanged mark. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All three wins in handicaps when making all, including when visored for the first time at Wolverhampton (7f) nine days ago; escapes a penalty for that success (due a 2lb rise) and he makes the shortlist, albeit he isn't sure to have things his own way in front. |
7/4 |

1st 3 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up off today's mark on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but subsequent 6f/7f form has been underwhelming, albeit he was denied a clear run last time; wore cheekpieces for last two races; visor given a whirl today. |
5/1 |

9th 7 (9) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been here but over 7f and for different yards; however, close up on stable debut over 6f at Ripon and last run wasn't too bad as he was never in the right place at Lingfield; don't put a line through him. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times over 7f at Kempton in 2024 for Kevin Philippart de Foy; hasn't been with Tony Carroll long and shaped well when fifth at Southwell last time (7f; not get the best of runs); career-low mark; interesting. |
9/2 |

5th 12 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Lacks consistency and failed to sparkle at Kempton (second start for new yard) most recently; yet to win away from that venue; very well treated on best form but isn't particularly solid. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins have come at this track over 7f; having dropped down the weights he made a pleasing stable debut at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; of interest back at Kempton and with Billy Loughnane booked. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

Switched to front-running the last twice, winning a novice event at Wolverhampton (easy task) then disappointing in C&D handicap; widest draw is not ideal if same tactics are attempted. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
