Three wins for George Boughey (two on AW); signed off with a 6f AW second at Wolverhampton and bought for 21,000gns last October; unplaced in two Dundalk outings and no better than mid-division in two Curragh runs; tongue-toe added now. |

Three wins for George Boughey (two on AW), signing off with a 6f AW second at Wolverhampton; bought for 21,000gns in October and too keen on yard debut at Dundalk in March (7f); never dangerous back there later that month; improvement needed. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Game effort to win a 7f handicap at Thirsk on his seasonal and stable debut last month; only fifth back at Thirsk this month but the drop to 6f may have counted against him; not discounted. |
5/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Better than ever when making a winning start for the Michael Dods stable over 7f here (good) a fortnight ago; 6f winner for previous yard last autumn so the return to sprinting shouldn't be an issue; respected off just 2lb higher. |

Won two handicaps for Roger Varian last year (7f, AW and 6f, soft); only fourth off this mark when last seen in October; sold for 34,000gns later that month; market to guide after his break. |

7f winner at Brighton in spring but soundly beaten on last two starts and she has something to prove back on AW. |
16/1 |

7 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced at 1m and ran poorly on final appearance in June (6f); take away that effort and she had done well in 7f handicaps, beating three rivals here and then close up at Salisbury in a race that's worked out; also goes well fresh. |
15/2 |
|
10th 5 (10) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better since handicapping on turf, improving a touch on her small-field Brighton win when a close third in a Salisbury handicap that's working out well; no issues with 7f, though, and needs more again back down to sprinting. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Andrew Balding but she's struggled in three starts since joining this stable; switches back to turf having been dropped another 3lb. |
40/1 |

10th 3 (1) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Brighton winner for Andrew Balding (1m, good to firm) last summer, but well beaten in both starts for this yard and has shown little in three goes on the AW; plenty to prove after six months off. |
25/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Progressive for Andrew Balding this summer, getting off the mark in a 1m handicap at Brighton in June; dropped away on stable debut at Sandown six weeks ago (1m, soft) and she will need to leave that effort well behind. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 16 attempts but he has run well in two of his three starts this year, including C&D; that said, he wouldn't appear to have much in hand of his mark. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice on AW for this yard last year; yet to be placed from five runs on turf and runs off his highest mark; may be better for the run. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton in July (7f); two solid efforts have followed and the return of cheekpieces could help squeeze out the requisite improvement. |
9/2 |

3 (6) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing when only fourth of five at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month but made winning stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f) two starts ago and could plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Not particularly solid on his AW form (at up to 9.5f) for current stable; gained sole win on turf (6f; off 3lb higher) but has something to prove over this new trip. |

7th 7 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

6f win for George Scott on turf last summer; edging down the weights for current stable while suggesting he retains a fair level of ability; Rossa Ryan replaces an apprentice this time; not discounted. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; runner-up in a handicap at Kempton (7f, AW) in June and ran to a similar level when beaten in a match race over that same C&D 27 days ago; drops to 6f for the first time since her debut with tongue-tie applied. |

Modest third in maiden event last time, taking record to 0-7; best form when runner-up twice, including in C&D handicap (behind subsequent scorer) on penultimate start; second best on ratings. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Got off the mark at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; showed the benefit of wind surgery when showing improved form when beaten a head by an unexposed sort at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; looks sure to go close. |
11/4 |

9 (5) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Infrequent winner but he is effective on Tapeta and has undergone wind surgery since his latest start; not ruled out. |

9th 8 (7) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only one win (14 races) but that 1m handicap in June was at this track; ran respectably next time and rallied into a close fourth of five for slowly run race on latest; needs to find extra but his tongue-tie (worn two and three starts back) is restored and new trip now looks worth a go. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Struggled in three 2yo runs and same story at biggish prices in both handicaps (7f/6f, good to firm) this season; dropped another 3lb but can only be watched until she shows some promising signs. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improving in July, making all in good style at Sandown and Leicester (both 1m2f, good); creditable third over C&D (good to soft) last month and better still when beaten a head at Salisbury (1m2f, good) latest; her two runs on soft/heavy were offputting, albeit last season. |
10/1 |

2 (5) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improving in July, making all for wide-margin wins at Sandown and Leicester (both 1m2f, good); soundly beaten next time but she ran well enough in third of 12 at Newbury recently (Approval behind) to think she's still in form, without being obviously ahead of her mark; thereabouts. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Improved to win twice within a week in July (good) and her hat-trick attempt was foiled when favourite but eighth of nine at Newmarket (also 1m2f, good to firm) shortly afterwards; possibly was feeling the effects of three quick starts and no surprise if she bounced back after a break. |
