14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 5-11 on turf and his last success was at this track (1m4f, good to firm) last June; good second at Newcastle (1m2f) in final run for George Boughey but he returned for new yard with a tailed-off effort at Kempton (1m3f) last month; has bit to prove after that and he needs to bounce back near best; regular tongue-tie removed. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |

took keen hold, prominent, led narrowly over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, no chance with winner when no extra inside final 110yds |
8/1 |

13th 9 (2) |
29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Regular winner in three campaigns with George Boughey, for whom he ended last June with a win at Pontefract (1m4f) and good second on Newcastle Tapeta (1m2f); unraced on Polytrack; hood joins his now usual tongue-tie and he'll be competitive for new yard (same owners) if starting this term where he left off last season. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Wore cheekpieces last six starts, winning in late summer last year on first two occasions; a late effort took him from last to fifth of 14 when he made a good reappearance here (1m4f, good to firm) last month but venturing beyond an extended 1m4f for first time provides a huge question mark. |
33/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of eight of his 22 starts, the latest success coming at Kempton (1m4f) off a 2lb lower mark; ended 2025 with a couple of lesser runs and might be best watched on return. |
33/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Has gone 2-2 in the cheekpieces, nicely on top late on at Windsor and Kempton (1m4f); two 5lb rises asks a question of him but something seems to have clicked. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed the odds with a 9l win in C&D maiden (good to firm) last July; 0-5 in handicaps since but he hasn't had the best of luck at times and was only beaten around 2l at Kempton (1m4f) last month; continues to edge down the weights and he's not ruled out back on turf; cheekpieces added. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Hasn't always enjoyed the best of luck in handicaps since his 9l success in a Windsor maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last summer; has run well here before and not dismissed down another 2lb. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Took form to new level when collecting good prize on AW in January, his 14th career success; below best on turf lately but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is too well handicapped to rule out. |
14/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2025 with 1m2f handicap success at Newcastle in January, but he's failed to beat a rival on his last three runs, finishing last of 16 in 1m2f Epsom handicap 22 days ago. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Refused to race on the Flat last month and again looked unenthusiastic on recent handicap hurdle debut here (2m1f, good), albeit he eventually made headway into sixth (behind Warfleet); remains a risky option. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Largely disappointing for this stable under both codes and, after a brief respite on the Flat at Newbury in April, he refused to come out of the stalls at York last month, both times in this headgear; best hurdle effort when runner-up at Newcastle (2m1f, good) in October offers some hope on handicap switch, but current form is a clear concern. |
11/2 |
|
7 (14) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Formerly useful for Kevin Ryan but was sold last July and has been comfortably held since on the Flat and over hurdles; this tongue-tie (tried once in 2023) returned on latest outing, along with first-time hood; 17lb below his peak mark, but no win since he scored twice at York in 2023. |

Flat winner was beaten 29l on handicap debut last time but can do better today so not discounted. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 77y |
12st 0lb |
Won a heavy-ground 1m maiden at Leopardstown in 2023 for Aidan O'Brien; failed to add to his tally for Archie Watson and three maiden hurdle runs since December poor; hard to make a case for entering handicaps but market worth a look. |
12/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
7yo whose losing sequence goes back 21 races to September 2024 but he went close behind Yermanthere over C&D (good) last month and was a good third at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time; might not be far away. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
It's now 20 outings since his last victory; his run of good form came to an end when just third of five in 1m2f Beverley handicap 12 days ago; the sort to bounce back though. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All three of his wins have been on ground slower than good but he does act on quick ground; went close at Ripon (1m2f, good) five days ago and steps back up in grade slightly with good claims. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has been running on the Flat, winning 1m4f/1m2f handicaps before a respectable effort in a competitive race at York; capable hurdler with winning form here and James Murray takes off a useful 7lb. |
6/1 |
|
8th 16 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |
7/1 |
