24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D win last April came off a 5lb higher mark; good second at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but unable to back it up at Southwell one week later (both 7f); chance if back to his best. |

8th 10 (7) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in April; now 2lb lower and no problem with the return to 7f, but he needs to fare better than in his last three starts. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Almost as good as ever at the age of seven and went down narrowly at Ripon (6f, good) earlier this month; hard to knock but this is a warm race and he faces some unexposed rivals. |
14/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began this year with two Newcastle wins (6f, Tapeta) but he was only eighth of ten there last month; has won over C&D but has a patchy profile and needs to step up again on this return to turf. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Began the season with two C&D wins, the second an impressive one; only fourth at Wolverhampton last time but he was putting in good late work and that form has been well advertised since; another 4lb higher today but the return to Newcastle is in his favour. |

Runner-up in this race in 2024, and he warmed up nicely for another bid with a good fourth in a big field over C&D at the Dante meeting; should be in the thick of things once more. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins last autumn and he's better than he's shown at Pontefract and Ascot of late; however, this is tougher and he needs to raise his game. |

10th 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not handicapped out of things and his latest run at Pontefract, his first start for 12 weeks, was creditable; twice a course winner and likely to make a bold bid. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner who won a maiden on soft ground at Redcar for Karl Burke last May; patchy form since winning a Wolverhampton handicap (also 6f, AW) in March and he left George Boughey for 17,000gns after trailing in last of five at Nottingham (5f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie/blinkers) in July; headgear removed for this stable debut. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |

Run over various distances of late and the experimenting continues, with cheekpieces replaced by a first-time tongue-tie and first-time blinkers; achieved little in three runs on fast turf, so comes with risks attached. |

Still to find top form this term but he is well handicapped if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |

5th 3 (11) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Still to find top form this term but he's attractively handicapped and may prove resurgent with Tom Marquand up for first time; gained last three wins off current mark or thereabouts. |
8/1 |

6th 1 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on this course but some of his best form has come over Sandown's similarly stiff 5f and he's back on the same mark as his latest win there last June (good; a race he'd won 12 months earlier); every chance of being seen to good effect back on turf. |

Won at Sandown (7f, good to soft) in August 2023 but unplaced in 13 starts since and last of 12 here (7f) in January; mark continues to fall but he has a lot to prove back in trip after a break; regular hood removed. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all of her winning over 6f, mostly on Southwell AW; perhaps needed her Leicester reappearance effort but she's not the percentage call returned to 7f and kept to this sphere. |
25/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Weighted to go well on best turf form and the drying ground shouldn't cause her any grief, having run so well on good to firm at York (6f) last June; also a winner of her one C&D start, in 2023, and the booking of Billy Loughnane signals intent; has prospects despite lacking a recent run. |
6/1 |

7th 5 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

In better form than her form figures imply as she's been finding her share of trouble; running style lends itself to that but capable of having a say should the breaks come at crucial times; goes well at this track. |

Only won one of his last 28 starts but has slid to a competitive mark as a result and was unlucky not to finish closer behind The Good Biscuit and Jonny Concrete at Chester (hampered late); holds each-way claims. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

Best RPRs over shorter (6f) but did make all in a slowly run C&D Class 4 in January (4-1); failed to get majorly competitive - often slowly away - in his last three starts; return to AW might assist, along with Ethan Tindall's 5lb claim. |

He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

Good record on heavy and he was in fine form on soft ground in midsummer, winning decisively at Chester (6f) and Yarmouth (5f); not quite so good on his last two starts but a return to his best could be forthcoming; high on the list for a yard also represented by Germanic. |
