27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Contrasting performances on the other track here (7f) since being gelded, winning at the Craven meeting in April then well below par in May; not sure what to expect from him on July course debut. |
10/1 |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has seen plenty of action since his debut last June but he resumed his progress back on turf after a gelding operation when scoring over C&D (good; cheekpieces removed) last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and this return to quicker ground is no problem; shortlisted. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Could be encouraging that his only win for Andrew Balding came on his sole start here (7f novice) but he left that stable after a poor show at Chester last July and it's been a similar story in two outings for this yard; only of interest if lively in the betting. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back from wind surgery with 7f novice win on Polytrack in 2025 and he's well treated on the pick of his later form on turf; probably handles Tapeta but he dropped right out on yard debut at York in June, following nearly a year off the track, and it's no easy matter assessing him today. |
25/1 |
|
18th 21 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He's on a competitive mark on his best form for Andrew Balding, which includes a good third of 22 over C&D (good) last May; market check advised on first run since last July, having been gelded and changed hands for 62,000gns in the interim, but he needs to be at the very top of his game. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A maiden after 28 starts, with tendencies to start slowly and race too freely, but has made the frame on his last five appearances, including two seconds in this grade at Brighton (6f, good to firm) this summer; fine over 7f and a likely contender once again; has tried various headgear combinations this year; goes in just the refitted cheekpieces today. |
6/5 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed 27-race maiden; runner-up in 6f classified events at Brighton on his last two starts (beaten favourite on each occasion); should run his race but others appeal more for win purposes. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 13 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
26-race maiden but did remarkably well to snatch second behind Big Time Rascal over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday, when breaking awkwardly and pulling hard; clearly not the most straightforward and another change of headgear is tried but should go close if he gets the breaks. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Bit in and out since easily winning a Windsor novice (6f, heavy) last October, but it was a good effort in a Kempton handicap (6f, AW) in May and also when beaten a neck over C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago. |
10/1 |
|
3 (3) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Patchy form since easily winning a Windsor novice (6f, heavy) last October, her best effort when beaten a neck in a Kempton handicap (6f, AW) on penultimate start; returns from 82 days and and still to fully convince over this far. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 7f course winner last year (good/good to soft); back on a good mark now but yet to build upon encouraging seasonal reappearance in April and not sure to be suited by this drop back to 6f. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins came over C&D last year and has dropped 5lb lower than for the latest in September; modest effort at Southwell (7f, AW) last time, but still of interest returned to this track. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed form this year but ran okay when third at Newmarket (7f, good) recently and has dropped below his last winning mark; unraced on Tapeta but seemed fine on Polytrack on his two previous AW runs; might not be far away. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark for Michael Dods when finishing off strongly in a 7f AW handicap in March; only 1lb higher today but he will need to step up on last month's return from a three-month break; ground query. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 7f here in March and not beaten far when fourth of seven at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May when last seen; however, he's returning from a three-month break and 7f is probably his optimum trip. |
15/2 |

4th 1 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won maiden and novice events at Lingfield (turf) as a 2yo; 0-9 in handicaps but placed on her last five starts, the last two in competitive Racing League events; cheekpieces are now given a go; high on the list. |
7/2 |
|
7 (9) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner who has been threatening a breakthrough in handicaps and got a bit far back last time at Wolverhampton (8.6f); bang there on turf in her two previous races and she enters the reckoning. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still seeking her first handicap success but she's run well to be placed in her last three starts; drawn widest and she'll need a bit more to win but the extended mile could suit. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark for James Owen at the 14th attempt when leading late on in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; returning to 7f no problem but a 4lb higher mark in a higher grade does ask more of him. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of near-misses to go with his only win, which came over 7.2f here off a 7lb higher mark last autumn; latest effort can be ignored but the emphasis will be more on speed, running in a sprint for the first time in a while. |
6/1 |
|
10th 10 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 0-12 for current yard but his form over this C&D includes sole success, which was gained off 9lb higher last October, and an encouraging effort (finished second) on Friday; fighting chance provided he belies recent inconsistency. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Shooting down the weights but for good reason and doesn't look a winner waiting to happen; belatedly tries 1m for the first time. |
14/1 |
|
6 (2) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now. |
12/1 |
|
8 (10) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not entirely solid on his form for new stable but has slipped to an attractive mark and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus; may prove resurgent if taking well to first-time blinkers. |
