13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced as 2yo but was quick out of the blocks in the spring, winning twice on Tapeta (6f and 7f); has continued in form since and his recent sixth in a big field at York (7f, good; just behind Miss Collada) was encouraging; close up again. |

A model of consistency in five runs to date, winning twice on AW (6f/7f) and forced to race wide when third of seven at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; should be in the thick of things again. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |

21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has done most of his AW racing on Wolverhampton Tapeta but he's run his two best races on Kempton Polytrack (7f), going close in February and breaking his duck last month; back up 4lb; a likely contender on course debut. |
7/2 |
|
1st 10 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Consistent maiden who's 3lb lower than when beaten a neck over C&D in February; continued in form since, the last twice for an inexperienced 7lb claimer, and is one to consider. |
5/1 |

6th 15 (9) |

Not particularly solid on his AW form (at up to 9.5f) for current stable; gained sole win on turf (6f; off 3lb higher) but has something to prove over this new trip. |

6f win for George Scott on turf last summer; edging down the weights for current stable while suggesting he retains a fair level of ability; Rossa Ryan replaces an apprentice this time; not discounted. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Headstrong sort who has won just once from his 17 starts but runner-up three times this year, most recently going close at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; every chance he'll be in the mix once more. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (1) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took nine races to win (5f, soft) for Brian Meehan and he's 0-8 for current yard, unplaced last four starts; often compromises his chance by racing freely but at least this is a weaker race than he's been contesting. |
9/4 |

7th 9 (3) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time AW winner who ran her best race on turf when second of seven, beaten a neck, at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in May; failed to back it up at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces rather than visor) four weeks ago; this trip should be more suitable. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Her four wins have all been achieved over shorter trips and on AW, but she ran comfortably her best race on turf when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 18 days ago; has to prove her stamina and cheekpieces replace the visor today. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (7) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Won two AW handicaps (7f/8.6f) over the winter; the handicapper may have caught up now and she still has to prove she can be as effective on turf. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |

2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |

7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a 5f AW event off 6lb lower in February and there was no disgrace in chasing home a Hamilton legend at that track (6f, good to firm) in returning blinkers (retained) nine days ago; he is another that cannot be discounted. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (1) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Belatedly opened account at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and has largely remained in good form since, albeit he was a shade disappointing when only sixth of ten at Ripon (6f, good; favourite) three weeks ago; can make his presence felt. |
7/2 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Made the breakthrough at Newcastle (5f) in February and fairly consistent since; couldn't master Yes I'm Mali over C&D (runner-up; 18-1) on penultimate start and boxed on from further back (fourth) at Beverley subsequently; a possible. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on last summer's exploits but he's been a long way below that level this year and a major turnaround is needed. |

5th 1 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Won two 6f handicaps on good ground last summer when with Hugo Palmer; quiet in two runs for current yard (cheekpieces then a visor) and soft ground might not be what he wants. |

8th 1 (9) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins over C&D, the latest 17 days ago with Faster Bee winning the other division in a faster time; he is only 3lb higher, but like that gelding is drawn higher this time; will need a bit more. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-27) but has twice been edged out in tight finishes recently, latterly when failing to reel in Gladiadora at Southwell (7f; 9-1); pestered for the lead, reportedly running "too free", when disappointing over C&D 11 days ago; possible. |
100/30 |
|
9th 12 (9) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-26 but he was runner-up behind Romanovich over C&D last month and had another close call at Southwell (7f) 13 days ago; nudged up 1lb but he should be in the thick of things again. |
