30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Successful in May in a novice at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and in taking style on handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m4f, good); creditable third of eight, again from off the pace, in valuable contest at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, which offers the prospect of further progress back at 1m4f. |

3rd 4 (7) |
11th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made it third-time lucky when winning Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) in May and he followed up on handicap/turf debut at Haydock (1m4f, good) four weeks later; that latest form has taken some knocks but he scored in good style from off the steady pace and is open to more improvement; respected up 7lb. |
5/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 175y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All three runs on Polytrack, improving to win 11-runner novice at Chelmsford (1m2f) on reappearance in clearcut fashion with the front two clear; turf debut asks a question but he's likely to stay and looks a promising handicap debutant. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Mostly campaigned over middle distances but the recent drop to 7f has been the making of him; surged clear under Oisin Murphy to win over C&D (good to firm; unraced on softer than good) three weeks ago and a 9lb rise looks fully justified; thriving and needs taking seriously once more. |

1st 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 11th time lucky when seeing off three rivals at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but the majority of those starts have been over 1m2f+ so he is unexposed over this sort of trip; Oisin Murphy also has a very good record for the stable. |

1st 3 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-10 although he did 'win' at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm; demoted for interference) last August; best run since when second to Classic Encounter at Redcar (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) when last seen in May; gets a weights pull and a form case can be made. |

8st 13lb |
Won over 1m2f at Ayr in July (good) and excuses for two heavy defeats since; can take a keen hold, so not sure to be suited by this step up to 1m4f. |

11th 4 (4) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Had been shaping well since joining this stable, including when third of five here over 8.5f in June, prior to getting off the mark at Ayr (1m2f, good) two starts ago; can have a line put through his latest effort in the John Smith's Cup having encountered trouble against the rail; makes the shortlist. |
8/1 |

19th 18 (18) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was an eye-catching third from the rear behind Warrant Holder over C&D (good) in May on his stable/handicap debut, following a year off, and four runs later he got off the mark at Ayr (1m2f, good) last Sunday when making most of the running; back up in grade under a 5lb penalty but he may well have more left in the tank. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Just ahead of Warrant Holder in a York handicap last time when neither were at their best; lightly raced 4yo with two 1m2f handicap wins to his name this season and, when second on good to soft at Epsom, he beat all bar a Group horse; stays this far. |
10/1 |
|
9th 1 (20) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who made it two wins for the year when scoring easily at Chester (10.3f, good) in May then finished second of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, albeit no match for the highly progressive winner; yard has won three of the last seven runnings and he could be a contender. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 (15) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Appeared to act on good to soft last term (unraced on soft); has gone from strength to strength this year, first on AW but most strikingly when returned to turf for a dominant, front-running display as 10-11 favourite in 11-runner race at Chester (1m2f, good); 9lb higher today but highly respected. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only three ran but he beat a Prescott improver with the pair clear over C&D a month ago and, defying his pedigree, saw the trip out well; now has 2lb higher mark but Jack Callan is enlisted to claim 5lb. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Not bred for this sort of trip but turned in his best effort to date last Tuesday, upped to 1m6f on his Tapeta debut; that was only a 0-55 in which he again started a big price but it gave something to build on. |

Hasn't progressed from his debut run and beat one home on handicap debut at Windsor (1m3f) when tried in a hood; others are more intriguing. |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Shaped with promise on his Wolverhampton debut (8.6f) in March but he's struggled after pulling hard in his last two starts (1m2f); still early days and hood is now added on handicap debut but he needs to settle much better to make an impact. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Flat background; mildly progressive when first then second in two 4yo hurdles but he ran miserably switched to handicaps at Sedgefield where his jumping didn't stand the test; returning to slower ground may help but unlikely that he's on that great a mark. |
20/1 |

5th 5 |
1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

A fair staying maiden on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes; has made a positive start in this sphere, scoring at Catterick (2m) in January and backing it up with a good second of seven in 2m Kelso juvenile 32 days ago; not out of things now going into handicaps. |
15/8 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 3 |

Modest maiden on the Flat but showed hints of promise on first two hurdle starts before making all at Catterick (1m7f, soft) last month; could continue to improve and trainer has won the last two runnings of this race. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Clearly a stayer on the upgrade having brought up an AW hat-trick with a convincing defeat of Maxident, who had a target on his back up the straight at Kempton (2m AW); worthy of the 7lb rise but how he'll deal with rain-hit ground is the glaring concern. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has turned things around with wins at Southwell (1m6f) and Lingfield (1m5f), latterly defying a penalty by one length; the 4lb rise could find him out in this higher grade and Jack Callan, who was aboard for those wins, no longer claims. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has a patchy record but he turned things around with an 5l win over 1m6f at Southwell (AW; 7-4 favourite) last Sunday; looks well treated under a penalty for that success and his penultimate win was at this track; strong contender. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Beaten a long way in three qualifying runs over 1m2f/1m4f in May/June, including 22l last of three at Salisbury on the final one; has had wind surgery ahead of this handicap debut after a 100-day break; not bred to be a stayer but is a half-brother to some useful sorts and needs a betting check in a race where nothing arrives with compelling claims. |
7/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Hooded for both starts to date but he still pulled hard when said to have become unbalanced early at Newbury last month; there must be a good chance he over-races again, in a small field upped in trip, and he's up against it even if settling better. |
