11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Not seen to best effect when mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time out but prior to that he kept on well to make a winning reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to firm) and this very lightly raced 4yo retains potential, especially back up to 1m. |
4/1 |

10th 14 (26) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Found a gap on the inside and knuckled down well to justify favouritism at Haydock (good to firm) on sole start this term, taking overall record (AW/turf) to 3-5 and form figures over 7f to 1121; looks the type to improve further and commands respect up just 2lb. |
7/1 |

1st 9 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Began his career with two 7f AW wins and he was a fine second at Chester on his handicap debut last June (7f, good); fourth of 17 in a 1m handicap at Ascot when last seen nine months ago, a run that can be marked up as he raced away from the first three home; still has potential and he returns with his stable back in better form. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up on AW in his first three starts before beating two rivals in a Brighton maiden (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is much tougher on handicap debut but he's been generally progressive so far and is still unexposed; in the mix with cheekpieces added. |

8th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three starts at 7f on AW; sent off 15-8 for first two runs but best form when beaten just over 1l at Chelmsford (6-1) last month; that was the third time he's finished runner-up but he sets the standard on turf debut and two of his three winning siblings scored on good to firm ground. |

Has made the frame in all four races, showing best form on turf the first two times; particularly solid effort (second to subsequent Group 2 scorer) at Sandown on debut; sets a clear standard back in this sphere. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 40y |
10st 2lb |
Maiden has shown his best form on the AW; some decent turf runs this term but will have to improve a fair bit on last two efforts to win on these terms. |

10th 7 (8) |
18th Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Maiden has done most of his racing on the AW, runner-up three times; fair turf form this term and excuses at Roscommon on latest (raced freely and saddle slipped); needs to find extra but could go well. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Never threatened a serious blow when mid-division over 7f on AW at Chelmsford (3-1) and Kempton (15-2); settling her has been a work in progress; brings among the best form claims, albeit at an unexciting level. |
3/1 |

8th 8 (7) |
15th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Inclined to overrace in a steadily run race on her debut at Chelmsford four weeks ago; could take a good step forward with that initial experience behind her. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Usually seen over further; won a 7f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in March and turned in another fair effort here in May; heavy defeats on turf twice since but returning to this surface is in his favour. |
11/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent, hard-pulling front-runner who's been beaten a long way in five runs on turf, latterly when tailed off at Lingfield last month; other pace in here and he's some way down the pecking order. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who finished unplaced in his first 11 starts, but made a winning reappearance here on the AW in March; posted another solid effort at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; beaten 1l) 11 days ago and has claims if handling this switch back to turf. |

0-7 and he has beaten just three rivals home in his four handicap starts; tumbling down the weights but carries risk. |

7th 3 (9) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last March on his second start but has beaten only one rival in three handicaps since; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation at this new trip; cheekpieces added. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in June and backed it up with a solid third of eight at Doncaster (1m) 16 days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |
3/1 |

3rd 7 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sent off favourite and returned to form with a win at Redcar (1m, good) a fortnight ago; he did it a shade readily and can give another good account off this 6lb higher mark if backing up that latest performance. |
6/1 |

1st 7 (15) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Still has a stronger record on AW than on turf and is 0-8 in this sphere; however, gained sole win off current mark and has made the frame in both Redcar attempts; could go well. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over this trip at Kempton (Polytrack) and Newcastle (Tapeta) in November; fair third of seven behind two of these at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; each-way claims down another 1lb if taking to this track at the first time of asking. |

3rd 5 (7) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Game effort to win at Kempton in November (1m) and followed up off the same mark at Newcastle eight days later; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he forms part of a strong hand for Ian Williams. |
8/1 |

9th 9 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m at Kempton and Newcastle in November; good third back at Kempton last month and not disgraced in Newcastle Class 2 with cheekpieces added (left off now) a fortnight ago; handily drawn for a prominent racer and needs considering back in a lower grade. |
