19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Bang there in 1m2f handicaps on last four starts, winning by a neck at Newmarket on third occasion and beaten by a neck when front-running on latest (both on good to firm); while that might suggest he's a bit exposed, the latest race was the London Gold Cup at Newbury, always a strong contest, and it looks like 1m4f will suit him. |
12/1 |

2nd 10 (10) |
17th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Has form figures of 1231 (on AW/turf) this year, the latest performance in Class 3 handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm); upped further in grade but he's steadily progressive and receives weight all round; could go well. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won on handicap debut at Wolverhampton in December (8.6f) and has run to a similar level in three subsequent runs; needs to find more but he's unexposed at this trip and was beaten less than 1l when fifth at Newcastle (1m2f) last time; not ruled out. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has proved consistent so far, twice finishing third over similar trips to this since narrowly making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in December; may still have more to offer and respected. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (10) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; narrowly made a successful handicap debut here (8.6f) last month and finished half a length behind Oman when third of nine at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; cheekpieces given a go and remains open to further progress. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who has had breaks between his four handicap runs (7f/1m) and he's struggled in all of them; now drops into a classified event but he has a lot to prove on this switch to sprinting; hood worn last time is removed. |
33/1 |

11th 11 (1) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Regressive maiden who had breaks between his three handicaps runs last year (beaten a long way each time); the first-time headgear will need to be a difference maker back from six months off. |
25/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Showed promise when third of eight in a Lingfield maiden (1m, Polytrack) in March, but failed to beat a rival on handicap debut here (7f) three weeks later; not seen since and has something to prove. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Probably hasn't enjoyed heavy/good to soft ground on turf the last twice but his record on Polytrack (4212) is a bit better than on Tapeta (484) and he remains 4lb higher than for his Kempton win (6f) in August. |
5/1 |
|
3 (5) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kempton winner (6f; from 5lb lower) in August; moderately progressive form came to an abrupt end on heavy ground at Salisbury (6f; favourite) latest, and it is a legitimate concern that his three best efforts have been on AW; cheekpieces added to regular tongue-tie. |
4/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Most runs and best form have been on the AW, notably his recent first and second finishes in 6f handicaps; on a competitive mark and could yet show his worth on turf. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course win (1m) on her handicap debut last April; in and out since but she ran well for second at Bath (1m, good) this April and a repeat would see her on the premises at this level; needs to bounce back from a poor run at Leicester 110 days ago. |

9th 10 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Back from five months off in good form, set a lot to do and nearest at the finish when second of 14 in 1m Bath handicap last month; she can go well again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (12) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won second time out last spring and a reproduction wouldn't surprise, as she was not suited by the way the race panned out on AW comeback; on a competitive mark now for a yard enjoying a good spell and she is one to consider. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles a month ago but he won on the Flat in June, albeit over an extended 1m3f; likely to find this too sharp a test. |
8/1 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won off a lowly Flat mark in June (11.4f, good to firm) but not seen over hurdles since 49l defeat (albeit on soft ground) on handicap debut in December 2024 and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; tricky to weigh up back in this sphere. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts. |

Won three times over 1m here last summer and 5lb lower than for the most recent; hasn't threatened in her last five starts, though, and another furlong would be preferable. |
20/1 |

6th 13 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times for two different stables at Brighton last year (1m, good to firm-good) but was soundly beaten on first three starts for current stable this spring (all 7f); considered only if lively in the betting. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |

A three-time winner at up to 2m under varying tactics; two respectable efforts at Ripon this spring but weakened quickly and tailed off at Pontefract latest; can only watch after that. |
9/1 |
|
12th 6 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

A three-time winner at up to 2m under varying tactics; hasn't run at all badly in his two races this campaign and couldn't rule out. |
7/1 |

4th 7 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times (once from rear, twice making all) at up to 2m last term on the Flat for Paddy Butler; remote this year in his two hurdle races (three-runner race last time) but he was a fair third over C&D (a head behind No More Bolero) in between and peak form gives him a good shout. |
