14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four handicap wins this year, two of them at this track (6f and 7f); not at his best at Wolverhampton ten days ago and drawn widest this time; Marco Ghiani replaces a 7lb claimer. |
10/1 |

7th 4 (2) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive 3yo who led close home a Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in August and has now won four times this year; also suited by Tapeta and could plausibly still have untapped potential over 7f; commands respect. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ex-Jack Jones (bought for 3,600gns in April); all three wins have been on AW; fair run on stable debut when seventh over 6f at Thirsk (good); well drawn and could go well on a rare run at 5f (races mainly at 6f). |
16/1 |

7th 4 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice for Jack Jones, both times over 6f at Wolverhampton; hung right and weakened when last in action at Southwell (5f) ten weeks ago; changed hands for 3,600gns since; best watched on stable debut. |
20/1 |

9th 1 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Closely matched with Irish Dancer and Street Life on C&D form from two weeks ago when she was short of room late on; all her wins have come at 6f but she's effective at 5f and she should be in the shake-up again. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His form has scaled new heights since an eyeshield was added, running away with a 6f handicap at Newmarket last month and following up in a small field at Lingfield 13 days ago; a 5lb higher mark against stronger opposition demands another step forward but he's progressive. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three previous wins had come on the AW (5f) but he was a revelation at Newmarket eight days ago when hammering a big field over 6f; that may well have been down to the first-time eyeshield and he now has to back it up off an 8lb higher mark. |

Modest maiden who has finished unplaced in all 13 starts; new headgear needs to prove transformative. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Last of six off her basement handicap mark at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month and has now been unplaced all ten starts; cheekpieces given another whirl here; improvement required. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Several places last year for Sean Woods but none in six starts for this yard and he's now 0-18; off since February and goes beyond 7f for first time. |
20/1 |

8th 6 (5) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Placed a few times on turf/Polytrack last year, but has regressed since joining this yard and now 0-17; look elsewhere. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

5f AW winner who has yet to make the frame on turf and hasn't been threatening to of late; another tweak on the headgear front. |

7th 7 (5) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Best efforts have come under aggressive rides over 5f on Polytrack; achieved little in three runs on turf, including in blinkers last time, and reverts to the usual cheekpieces today (first-time tongue-tie added); bit to find at the weights. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
16-race maiden who has already had plenty of chances off basement marks; makes very limited appeal on first start since October; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |
40/1 |

11 (12) |
16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

3yo maiden who has bits of placed form but suffered a heavy defeat in latest outing; chance largely depends on how well she responds to new headgear. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f classified event here last summer (blinkered first time); up and down since but the switch to a visor helped when second here 17 days ago (6f); worth another go at 7f. |
8/1 |
|
8 (8) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ready winner of 6f classified race on Lingfield AW in June (first-time blinkers) and she might have needed the sharpener when attempting 5f for the only time in August; overall, has work to do after minor efforts of late. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was out the back at Brighton last time but he finished runner-up in a Yarmouth handicap (6f, good) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and his last win was over C&D. |
5/1 |
|
12th 7 (13) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Most of his best efforts have come from the front but he just raced in touch when second at Yarmouth (6f) on latest outing, his best show this year; well handicapped if judged on peak 2025 efforts. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who got upset in the stalls and was slowly away last time at Wolverhampton; his previous two runs were also below best form and easy lead looks unlikely with Grand Citadel in the field. |
