8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has recorded the majority of his wins on Newcastle AW; below par over C&D ten days ago, failing to build on his Hamilton effort; still hasn't scored on turf since 2022. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

It's now 19 outings since his last victory but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a C&D handicap (soft) in October with first-time cheekpieces; well below form in his four outings since, including on AW in a tongue tie and visor last month; latter aid is now swapped for blinkers, which his dam wore for her two wins, including when they first went on. |

6th May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Sole win came off this mark on soft ground at Yarmouth (1m) in October with first-time cheekpieces; well below form in his three outings since and the added tongue-tie and visor need to make a difference. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
First 27 starts came on the AW (three wins) and was making his turf debut when third of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month (fourth has won twice since); 5lb below last winning mark and much respected for stable that won this in 2024. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 7 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All 27 runs have been on AW; back-to-back wins at Southwell (1m) last October but he's been up and down since and was beaten 12l at Southwell two weeks ago; now makes his belated turf debut and comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back-to-back C&D wins last October (off 3lb lower than today, then 3lb higher than today); should appreciate returning to 1m having produced a lesser effort over 7f here last time; can be involved. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Trainer won with three of his last five runners coming into today, all three doing it easily, two at big prices; this triple AW winner has shown enough since returned to turf to suggest he can be a factor at this level. |
11/4 |

5th 7 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has run some fair races in defeat for his new stable but he is essentially regressive; surprising if there weren't a few stronger in today's field. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner; 0-5 for new stable since February but put in a good front-running shift before fading into fourth behind No Gain here (7.6f, good) last month; each-way claims if handing the forecast slower ground. |
13/2 |
