Back with yard after a spell in Britain; yet to place in eight starts and no real progression on AW over the winter; just second run on turf here. |

10st 2lb |
Bought out of Archie Watson's yard for 2,000gns last July and didn't run too badly on yard debut over C&D in December; faded late over 1m here when last seen; still unexposed so don't rule out; poor draw. |

No improvement for the switch to handicaps when a distant fifth at Haydock two weeks ago; new blinkers and the return to AW the straws to clutch at. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been on AW and he shaped with promise when fifth on his reappearance over C&D (13-2) last month; drawn out wide this time but he should get a good pace to aim at and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; dangerous. |
9/1 |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Poor on turf in his last three races but he's far better on the AW and has form here; returns from a break on a realistic mark and could go well. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Consistent record on AW features two wins; far less solid on turf form (finishing positions read 790) and can be opposed in a competitive affair kept to this sphere. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win from his 13 starts and inconsistent; however, that victory came over 6f at Doncaster last August and he returned to form with a very close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) recently; might not be far away. |

Comes with risk having proved inconsistent since Doncaster win (off 2lb higher) last August; however, attractively weighted and Oisin Murphy is a positive booking. |

9st 7lb |
Spreadeagled the field at Redcar (6f, good to firm; 18-1) in April, but turned over on successive days at Ayr (8-13 favourite) and Nottingham (6-5 favourite) the following week; laboured at Haydock (6f) seven weeks ago, so plenty to prove at present. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Easily made all on handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on April 21st; disappointing favourite under a penalty on April 28th and 29th and she's now 10lb higher than for her win, but a 23-day break may have helped and if rediscovering the Redcar form she'll have a major shout. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

0-16 and he failed to beat a rival in 6f Windsor handicap last time after a very slow start; not one to rely on. |
8/1 |

12th 5 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-15, albeit with competitive form off higher marks; easily best show this season was his Chepstow second on penultimate start; tried blinkers latest and now reverts to last season's cheekpieces; his yard won this race last year and a case can be made but others are more compelling. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-14 but has competitive form off higher marks and was runner-up over 5f here two weeks ago; won't be hindered by returning to 6f and blinkers might give him a lift. |

15th Oct 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Won four times for Richard Hughes (three on turf) at 5.5f-7f; promising start for this yard at Navan (5f, good) in June but failed to beat a single rival home at Navan (6f) and Gowran (7f) since. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |

Won four for Richard Hughes (three on turf) at 5.5f-7f; promising start for this yard at Navan in June but never figured when failing to beat a rival back at Navan on latest; needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
10st 2lb |
Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark. |

Sole win in 23 starts came at Bath in April when she bolted up over 1m on good; dropped out to finish last of 16 on yard debut at Naas last month; needs to leave that effort well behind. |

16th 13 (8) |

Sole win in 22 starts came at Bath in April when she bolted up by 4.5l over 1m on good; finished second off revised mark twice since, including at Nottingham 39 days ago; form has worked out; interesting on stable debut dropped in trip. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Hampered early last time when bidding to enhance his good record at Epsom; effective at Leicester and ran respectably (fifth of 15) in this race 12 months ago; has to deal with a 3lb higher mark back here. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever when winning at Chepstow (7f, soft) in June; he was returning from a ten-week break when finishing behind Aurora Majesty at Southwell 15 days ago; 2-3 at the track and won't mind how slow the ground gets; no surprise to see him go well. |
6/1 |
|
8th 14 (13) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Took strike-rate to 5-16 when winning comfortably at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) ten weeks ago, looking better than ever; 7lb higher in this classier contest but has run well here before and he's not easily knocked. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner last year; won again at Southwell in February (6f) but rather out of sorts since; back on his last winning mark. |
13/2 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Game effort to win over C&D in February off 1lb lower; only run since came at Thirsk 12 days ago when easy to back and dropping right away in the race won by Eldeyaar; racecourse evidence suggests he will be much happier now back on AW. |
7/1 |

15th 8 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had the headgear left off when back to winning ways in 6f Southwell handicap 53 days ago; he's yet to show much in a handful of turf runs though, so needs to back it up. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three course wins, including when scrambling home by a nose over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; slowly away (under a 6lb penalty) when fifth to Nzuri over C&D (7-2) last week; it isn't impossible (with this better draw) that he'll be closer this time. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (8) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He was recording his third course win when scrambling home over C&D last week; can win more races but he's effectively 6lb higher today and this will demand more. |
6/1 |

1st 1 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed his second win at this track, over today's distance, in June off 1lb lower; has acquitted himself well since and his second at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last Tuesday suggests his turn is near once again. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Good third over 5f at Musselburgh in May but below par over further since, last of five in 6f Redcar handicap latest start; mark is slipping though so could still play a part back at the minimum trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Creditable third (of five) on his handicap debut at Musselburgh in May (5f, good); no progress since but down in the weights and it's too soon to write him off. |
9/1 |
|
5 (11) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-6 but he didn't shape badly in a couple of handicaps (5f/6f) before failing to beat a rival home when tried over 7f at Redcar (good to firm) 40 days ago; the drop back to 6f should suit. |
9/1 |
