2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins have been over 7f at Southwell (Karl Burke/Iain Jardine); has dropped a long way in the weights and took second on his stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; steps back up in trip with solid claims. |
11/4 |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins have been over 7f at Southwell for Karl Burke then Iain Jardine; has dropped to a fair mark after some disappointing runs recently and now makes debut for new yard after changing hands for 7,000gns in April; not sure 6f on turf is ideal. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-35, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December off a mark 8lb higher than today's; never featured over this trip at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and better is needed. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Good C&D record includes a win in this race (good to firm) off 1lb higher last year; good second at Southwell (7f) in January but always behind over C&D four months later; may well have needed that outing but needed to see more to be confident. |
14/1 |
|
21th 14 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Most of his 14 races at York have been over 7f, including wins in this race in 2024 and another last June; absent since second on AW in January and that's the longest break he's had for two years, which asks a question, but he has to be considered off his last winning mark. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Easy to make a case on last year's peak form but signed off with two quiet runs and now back from three months off; not without hope if the break has done him good; has form here. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of heavy-ground wins at Doncaster (7f); better form in defeat this year, placed in good C&D handicaps (good ground) in consecutive days last month; has won on fast ground and his connections took this race in 2024; needs serious consideration. |
6/1 |
|
4th 13 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
There's a suspicion he might ideally need slow ground to produce his best form at 7f, especially here, but he began this season in good form (1m/7.5f, good to soft/good) and there was some mitigation when down the field at Newbury on penultimate start (1m, good; denied clear run); went close over C&D (good) on Friday; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (14) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; started this season with good thirds at Doncaster (22-runner Spring Mile; good to soft) and Chester (7.6f, good) but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Newbury last time; any easing of the ground would be in his favour; connections have tasted recent success in this. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in good order and he was a good second over 1m here on his return in January; three heavy defeats have followed and there is likely to be other pace for him to contend with today; drops in class but others appeal more. |
16/1 |
|
8th 9 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has had a couple of close calls over C&D this winter but he's lost his way in last two starts and was tailed off at Newcastle (1m) three weeks ago; has something to prove and he needs a major revival. |
25/1 |
|
12th 11 (2) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Ex-Henry de Bromhead; Ffos Las winner for current yard in June last year (1m, good to soft), but has beaten just two horses home in his two runs this term. |
50/1 |
|
11th 1 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form last summer, scoring at Ffos Las (1m) and signing off with an excellent second over 1m2f here; set a lot to do on his return from eight months off when tenth in 7f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; should strip sharper now and he's very much one to consider back up in trip. |
8/1 |
|
10th 10 (6) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Did well once cheekpieces were added last summer, winning at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) and in the frame on four other occasions; can get it wrong at the start and that may be an issue dropping back to 7f. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 4-15 overall and 2-5 since wearing visor; campaigned exclusively over shorter but the manner of his half-length success in big field at York (7f, good) last time suggests this new trip is worth exploring; enters calculations in the retained headgear. |
5/1 |
|
1st 21 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 122 over 7f on AW once fitted with a visor; however, despite turf achievements early in career, his return to turf at Doncaster (7f, good to soft; second favourite) in March bore no comparison. |
20/1 |
|
12th 13 (11) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Record of 122, all over 7f on AW, since wearing visor; most recently bumped into thriving rival who was on the second leg of a four-timer; dual winner on turf; solid claims in the retained headgear. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |

2nd 2 (3) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

2nd 3 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Won over C&D in 2023 but better known as a 7f performer now; safely held over that trip here on last two appearances and needs to up his game. |

C&D winner; five wins since joining Tony Carroll, including turf handicaps in two of his last three starts; should give his running once again but may prove vulnerable for win purposes. |
6/1 |

1st 7 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |
