2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on well to justify favouritism over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; beaten - fifth, hung left under pressure - in a stronger Class 4 at Nottingham subsequently; might have to settle for minor honours on AW return. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Windsor (1m, good) last spring and he doubled his tally when justifying favouritism at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March; that was a narrow success but he's only 3lb higher and is respected after another break. |

1st 6 (11) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Made the breakthrough in a Windsor handicap (1m, good) last May and he ended last year with a good second at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta); returns after three months off but he's on the same mark as last time and is still unexposed on AW; respected. |

Can race prominently (as for April's 7f win here) but she came from pretty much last to win at Kempton a month ago (1m); 5lb rise sees her on a career-high mark but has to be considered. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 65y |

Dual AW winner in Britain; money arrived for him on handicap debut at Clonmel (2m, soft) and he scored by a length under a hand ride; up 10lb. |

1st 9 |
2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |

Dual AW winner in Britain; some promise on hurdle/stable debut when fourth at Fairyhouse, raced keenly; made little impact at Thurles and Naas but could be a different proposition on handicap hurdle debut for shrewd connections; monitor the betting. |

8th 17 |

Dual AW winner in Britain for William Knight with a rating of 68; some promise in his hurdling/stable debut, 14.5l fourth of 12 at Fairyhouse; ran keenly that day; hooded at Thurles last time when a much bigger price and ran like it; others preferred. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Southwell (1m; 16-1) in February and also ran well (third; in first-time cheekpieces) there in April; underwhelming since, particularly on last two starts (both 1m); it's possible that this sharper track could suit. |
15/2 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made all for a winning handicap debut over C&D in February and he bettered that form when a good third of 13 in a competitive race back here in April; fairly middling efforts since but he's dropped in the weights and the return here is a plus. |
8/1 |

3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who made all on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in February; hasn't added to it since, but he has run with credit on occasions and has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than for his win; shortlisted. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled initially in handicaps but, having dropped down the weights, she has been more competitive on her last four outings; each-way claims in open race. |
9/2 |

4th 1 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Generally disappointing since winning a novice at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last June but she's been placed in two of her last three starts, including at Kempton (1m, AW) nine days ago; drops back in trip and back down in grade slightly; can go well. |
100/30 |

3rd 6 (10) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Generally disappointing since last summer's Ffos Las novice win (7.3f, good) but comes here after making the frame in her last two turf handicaps (7.3f/1m) and has possibilities if that form transfers to Polytrack. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A bit of a mixed bag in her last six starts, winning three and finishing unplaced in the other three; off four months, but has run well fresh before and capable of playing a part in the returning cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two soft-ground wins in blinkers for William Haggas in the autumn and she made it second-time lucky for new yard when scoring without headgear at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) last month; up 3lb but she hit a clear personal best last time and is open to more progress; leading contender. |

Bath win in April (1m, good to firm) came off a 1lb higher mark; placed three times last month but she ran poorly in a 7f handicap at Leicester three weeks ago; others are more appealing. |

Struggled in her three qualifying runs including when tailed off at Chelmsford (1m2f) in March; still early days and now goes handicapping but she needs a transformation back in trip after another break; headgear added. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 but he was beaten only a neck when third of seven here over 1m on stable debut last month; below that form when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, good) ten days ago; drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut and needs to bounce back returned to this track. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |

0-9 but he's dropped down the weights and was a close second on recent stable debut at Brighton (1m, good to firm; 22-1); looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has some novice form at this trip; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

8 (5) |
9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Respectable third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, but his form went the wrong way in three subsequent runs for Marco Botti; record is now 0-8 and has plenty to prove for new yard. |
