2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Upped his game following a gelding operation last summer, winning over C&D in September before making giant strides on AW; returned from a break to do best of the rest behind runaway winner Double Rush over C&D 17 days ago; could have a nice prize in him this year but the 5lb turnaround with Double Rush may be insufficient. |

2nd 3 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Successful over C&D (off 15lb lower) seven months ago in last turf attempt and has subsequently developed into a useful AW handicapper; possibilities, provided he transfers the improvement back to this sphere. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Looked good when winning over C&D in June; struggled in a hot race at Newmarket the following month but only fifth at Newcastle last time and others may have his measure in this field. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Looked good when winning at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f); form then levelled off until he ran out the easy winner of a 6f handicap at Kempton in June (well backed); stiff task at Newmarket six weeks ago and the return to AW is in his favour. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |

Scored at Wolverhampton (5f) in February, but she was off for ten weeks before beating only one in 5f handicap at Ascot 23 days ago; has a bit to prove now. |
25/1 |

17th 3 (16) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran out the ready winner of a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in February but she failed to back it up at Chelmsford ten days later; she is effective on turf but looks up against it in this field on her return from a 72-day break. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Went close off 9lb higher on handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW) last October but his form has gone the wrong way subsequently and he was well beaten at Haydock last month when wearing this headgear combination. |
10/1 |
|
11th 1 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promising return to action at Chelmsford in October (6f) and that was off a 6lb higher mark; no progress since but 7f has stretched him on his last two starts and he returns to 6f in a lower grade; big player with cheekpieces added for the first time. |
7/1 |

8th 9 (10) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Weakened in the latter stages over 7f last time; fitting of tongue-tie needs to prompt a stronger finishing effort; best form remains at sprint trips. |

10th 11 (13) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win from his 15 starts and he's inconsistent; however, he could improve for last month's reappearance run at Thirsk and he's on a handy mark on last season's best 6f form; has hinted a few times that this step back up to 7f will be worth exploring and he's not discounted. |
12/1 |

10th 13 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
1-14, the win coming on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW) for the Crisfords in March last year; has proved inconsistent for this yard and may need the run; unraced on ground faster than good. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent for Michael Dods and no guarantee he will back up last month's close fourth over C&D; won't be far away if he is on another good day though. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; needs to get himself back on track and this is only his second attempt at 5f. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On the back foot early due to issues at the start a couple of times of late but has also disappointed; weighted to go well if Oliver Hoodless, who rode a 33-1 winner in February, can get a good tune out of him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (10) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not much has gone to plan since the turn of the year and he's drawn wide today but he moves back up to his optimum trip after two 6f runs (lost ground at the start both times) and is well handicapped if judged on his 7f Wolverhampton form from the autumn. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Much-improved on his last two starts; backed up Sligo second with victory in a 21-runner contest at Naas; runner-up Lismacbryan put that form to the test at Laytown on Thursday |
9/2 |
|
11 (17) |
24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

0-7 but in first-time cheekpieces when emerging from well off the pace to be second at Sligo (6f); could build on that with a tongue-tie added. |

2nd 4 (11) |
6th Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 21y |

Has yet to finish better than seventh and trailed home last over this far at Cork on his final run; another tweak on the headgear front. |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Out of the frame in six starts, as when behind three of these over C&D (good; first-time blinkers) six weeks ago; others more appealing. |
33/1 |
|
7th 10 (3) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Poor form in five starts (6f-7f); hopes pinned on the new blinkers sparking a transformation; bred to do better at some point. |
33/1 |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Safely held when seventh of 11 on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) but remains very unexposed (particularly over this trip) and might come on for the run. |
