3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
10-34 on AW but latest well-held fifth on good to firm at Sandown took his turf record to a much less impressive 2-20; going softer than good arguably suits him slightly better but still hard to be confident. |
25/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has a good 10-34 record on AW but his turf strike-rate is only 2-19; has a lower mark in this sphere but off since finishing last of six at Wolverhampton in March and a watching brief is the percentage call. |
25/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Record of 10-33 on AW features six wins at Wolverhampton, including in this race (off just 1lb lower) last year; close fourth at Lingfield for an encouraging start to his 2026 campaign; fighting chance. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Reached the frame twice in similar races on AW under Brodie Hampson in February; well treated on those efforts but hasn't found the same form back on turf (good to firm/good) after a break, including well behind Star Start and Austrian Theory at Catterick 17 days ago; the return to softer ground could help but leap of faith needed. |
25/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |

Down the field in two turf handicaps this summer after a five-month absence; on a dangerous mark but there are risks attached; blinkers replace cheekpieces today. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Patchy form since joining this yard and well behind I'd Go Maniac on his return from five months off at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago, but is 9lb lower than when winning at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) for Ian Williams a year ago; first-time tongue-tie. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended long losing run when successful in a 1m4f AW handicap at Lingfield in April; ran well on his next two starts and when down the field on last month's return to action at Kempton (after 11 weeks off) it was in a higher grade than this; handles testing ground and has a good amateur booked; one for the shortlist. |
10/1 |

9th 6 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a competitive handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April before being placed on his next two starts, but he was tailed off over this C&D in May; a 77-day break may have done him some good and he could bounce back. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (6) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
High marks for consistency of late and belatedly doubled his tally at Lingfield last month (1m4f, AW); better form when going down by a nose under same conditions next time and it wasn't much of a drop off when third at Windsor last week; hard to rule out. |

Encouraging start for new stable culminated in Windsor success in April; has failed to back up that form in two starts since, last of three runners latest; rebound required. |
9/1 |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Low-key effort at Windsor four weeks ago but she'd begun her life with this yard with three good efforts, notably a 1m2f Windsor success on fast turf; considered. |
11/2 |
|
5th 10 (11) |
26th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown steadily progressive form (421) this term for new yard, gaining a narrow win over C&D (good to firm) most recently; however, she's been campaigned largely in lower grades and now goes into deeper waters; got upset in stalls and was withdrawn at Newbury ten days ago. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |

Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |
33/1 |

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

Five-time course winner, but he's never scored beyond 1m2f and his last success was in November 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in last four starts and latest was over 1m6f here last month; opposable. |

5th 10 (7) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Exposed 6yo who excels at Wolverhampton where's he won five times and yet on turf he's 1-19; close fourth on his favourite patch 12 days ago and 4lb lower back on the grass, but he wouldn't be the percentage call on first visit here. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

9st 12lb |
Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |
10/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |
25/1 |

7th 3 (6) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All wins have come in the spring, mainly on soft ground, but there was no win this time round; has his lowest mark since 2020 but easily his best show this season was in March; usually wears a visor or cheekpieces and now he's blinkered first time. |

11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat in May but was safely held on both hurdling starts this year (both in 2m handicaps in July) and reverts to this code after a very poor Flat run last month; stablemate Chillhi looks a safer option. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Had a good run of form in 1m2f-1m5f handicaps (1423) before tailed off in his last two hurdle races and he's a dual winner in that scene; some wellbeing concerns all of a sudden. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won twice over hurdles in the autumn (2m4f/2m7f) and has been in good form on the Flat in recent weeks but was well beaten when back over hurdles on Saturday (2m; raced too freely) and has a point to prove here. |
