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 |

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 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Returning to AW should be in his favour but there isn't much room for error off this mark and the 1m4f trip is a concern. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (1) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Five turf wins but has done most of his winning on the AW; surprising to see blinkers back on having won in a visor at Chester last month and then beaten only 4l in a Class 2 handicap at Goodwood; if that doesn't backfire then has possibilities. |

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 |
|

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 wasn't beaten far in a 2m handicap at Bellewstown last time, staying on; could do better over this longer trip so considered. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
9st 10lb |
Hasn't added to Leopardstown 2yo success, placed over mid-distances in Britain last year; back from a break with tongue-tie tried but hard to make a convincing case for. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has posted some good efforts this season but is without a win since September 2024, and finished behind Amidst The Chaos at Doncaster last time; visor returns and he has an each-way chance. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winless since 2024 but in good form this season until last of six (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Epsom handicap 16 days ago; headgear is quickly dispensed with and this course scorer is the sort to bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Without a win since 2024 but earns good marks for his consistency in recent months and lost out only by a head off today's mark at Ripon (1m2f, good) in June; probably won't be far away. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner (good/soft); returned to form with two Flat wins in April, but was soundly beaten when back over hurdles here in June and contests a much stronger race today. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 |
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. |

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 |
