25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Nine wins at this course (7f-1m4f), including three this year; remains in top form, having finished runner-up here on his last two starts; must be strongly considered on his favoured track. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Took this in 2025 and he comes here better than ever, bagging a third course win of 2026 in February; posted a very good second in another 7f handicap here last time so rates a big player off an unchanged mark. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Better than ever since dropped back to 7f, determinedly adding a third win from four C&D starts three weeks ago; this class didn't look beyond him when 1l third here before that, just behind stablemate Legal Reform; some wriggle room judged on peak RPRs even off a new career-high mark. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often slowly away but not so when gaining a first success of 2026 in seven-runner handicap over C&D 18 days ago; up 3lb but still not out of things. |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-time winner; has come up well short in big fields at York a couple of times of late; otherwise a consistent sort and has frame possibilities off current mark in this scenario. |
13/2 |
|
9th 11 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won four races from 1m-1m2f last season, including two on fast ground; well beaten over 1m4f here in May, but bounced back with a sound fourth at Carlisle last time (1m, good to firm); on a fair mark now. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won four times last year including twice at Chester (7f/7.6f, good); only eighth of 14 on Carlisle reappearance last month but she had some major traffic issues and was only beaten around 4l; should be sharper this time and has claims if she can get back near best. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won four times last year (7f/7.5f) and also posted some other good efforts, including when third of 21 in a competitive handicap at York (7f, good) in October; didn't settle well enough at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in November when last seen but the break may have done her some good. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Four wins in a productive 2025, the latest over 7f (good) in September; good third of 21 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; likely to go well again. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His last win was in May 2023 and he was below par at Southwell (1m, AW) in August last time; however, he's run some good races this season on AW/good ground and his last win came on soft; might be worth a second look. |
16/1 |
|
13 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
More than two years since his latest win and although he nearly put that right over C&D in April he ran flat here next time; in fair form on turf in the meantime but others look more likely winners. |

Multiple winner who is running well and went down narrowly over the extended 1m here two months ago; thereabouts. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

In a good run of form right now and finished much the best over 1m at Yarmouth last week (under Taryn Langley); clear claims off 3lb higher. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came in a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in November 2023 when trained by Marco Botti; down the field in all four starts for this stable, including here over 1m last time (first-time blinkers); back up in trip in a switch of headgear. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Ex-Marco Botti 4yo with a strike-rate of 1-18; down the field in three runs for this yard and tries blinkers. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Marco Botti; won a Kempton maiden (1m) in November 2023 and a few fair runs at up to 1m3f after that; well beaten at long odds on turf on both starts for present connections; best watched for now. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form to win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month, scoring at that venue for a third time; has shown ability on turf and is not ruled out but his 0-6 record on grass isn't particularly convincing. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
12th May 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner last year who's slid to a dangerous mark, being 5lb lower than when favourite for a similar race over C&D in January; said to have hung left when below market expectations last time and goes back to cheekpieces from a hood. |
