21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Continues to edge down the weights, but 0-16 in handicaps and stamina for this far remains a major concern; finished behind two of these over C&D a fortnight ago; stable also runs Vecchio. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had beaten only one rival home in his first four starts for this stable but he's posted two solid efforts since wearing the hood on its own; down another 2lb and he's an each-way contender. |

4th 4 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Had beaten only one rival home in his first four starts for this stable but he took a step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) six days ago when wearing the hood on its own (same today); chance. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Blitzed his rivals at Southwell in December (5f) when a visor was first used; generally run well in defeat since but he will need to pull out more to take this prize. |
8/1 |

4th 5 (15) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Disappointing at Doncaster on his return to turf last month (5f, good to soft); in good form on AW beforehand and this mark should be well within his range; not sure what to expect. |
12/1 |

10th 8 (17) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Transformed by the addition of a visor when running away with a 5f handicap at Southwell in December; he has run creditably in defeat since but he will need to raise his game now back on turf. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was a 5f handicap at Chelmsford in March 2025 when visored for the first time; would have a chance on his C&D second off 8lb higher last November, but below-par recently; no visor this time. |
6/1 |

8th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead. |
16/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On a reduced mark and he showed some spark last November; however, he was disappointing in the main in the second half of last year and finished down the field on his last two starts; returns with something to prove. |

Expensive to follow (0-6) but was twice bang there (including here) before perhaps failing to take to a hood last time at Southwell; unlikely to be far away. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sent off 4-1 and 9-2 for his two handicaps but couldn't match the pick of his novice/maiden form (stepping up to 7f was no real help last time); perhaps first-time headgear will focus him. |
11/2 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
6th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Showed ability here over 5f in February on his second start and ran to a similar level when finishing third of nine over 6f at Newcastle on handicap debut; should be suited by this step up to 7f, in line with his pedigree, and holds solid claims. |

8st 13lb |
3yo who has been beaten at least 11l in each of his five starts (5f-8.5f), including on handicap debut (6f, AW) in May; drops back to 5f in first-time blinkers. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Weak form claims having come up well short off a basement mark on handicap debut; four runs have been from 5f to 8.6f. |
100/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to beat a single rival on first two starts, and fared only marginally better when seventh of 12 in a 7f maiden here (300-1) in February; gelded, and off for three months since, but does make handicap debut at an appropriate level. |
