19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has bits of placed form on Flat and over hurdles, including in C&D contest in April; losing run remains the negative, as he is 0-13 since winning a bumper on debut. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has only won a bumper; placed at about 1m3f at Lingfield (good to firm) and here (heavy) before losing his action and pulling up 17 days ago; should run well if back in good order. |
8/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Bumper winner who was placed on the last two of his five Flat starts, more recently when third in handicap here (11.6f, heavy) ten days ago; could easily have more to offer over today's longer trip; big player. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 3-9 includes two wins at the Newmarket tracks; good second, beaten only a neck, in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently; due to go up 3lb in future; strong contender. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (31) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who was 3-5 last term, readily winning at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) final start; hindered by racing alone returned to that C&D last time; may still have more to offer and can't be written off; Billy Loughnane (up for first time) is a booking of note. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 3-6 when winning a C&D handicap (good to firm) last September, making virtually all; gelded subsequently; reappeared with close fourth of eight in conditions race at Thirsk (7f, good) three weeks ago and could show the benefit of that outing today; this 4yo is firmly in calculations. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 6lb |
Added to two British 7f wins when bagging the Habitat Handicap (6f, good) here in May on second start for new yard; had difficulty finding a gap before storming home to win by a neck with several of these behind; another solid display over 7f at Cork; top trainer of sprinters won this in 2020 and 2021. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (12) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Added to dual British 7f wins when bagging the Habitat handicap (6f, good) at the Curragh last month on second start for new yard, struggled to find a gap before blasting home to win by a neck (ahead of many of these); 5lb rise seems fair and this trip is fine; shortlisted. |
13/2 |
|
1st 13 (17) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Two 7f wins in Britain last year for Willie Haggas included final start in Newbury handicap (soft) in first-time tongue-tie; bought for 48,000gns and okay comeback run (tired late on) behind a stablemate at Naas last month for which he is entitled to come on for but has a bit to find with several of these on that run. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction. |
9/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in April off 2lb lower; well held at Yarmouth on his last two starts but has an excuse three weeks ago (reared leaving the stalls); returning to the AW could suit. |
11/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come over 6f on the AW including two in April; handles turf, but he has a fair bit to find with Neyva's Angel on their meeting here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; he too may be better over further. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Minor form thus far, including on handicap debut when a 66-1 chance; opposable. |
66/1 |
|
10th 7 (10) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Struggled at big prices in his three qualifying runs but this is more realistic on handicap debut and he's a possible improver on this step up to 1m; needs checking in market. |
16/1 |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Big prices and well beaten in both starts; can only watch in this field. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown promise at up to 7f, including when well backed at Southwell on his penultimate start; low-key run at Kempton four weeks ago, but a 3lb drop enables him to contest 0-55 company and 1m could be in range; betting to guide. |
5/1 |
|
11th 9 (12) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Patchy record but he was well backed at Southwell last month and ran a better race, beaten 2l into fifth of the ten runners (behind Top Biller); tongue-tie added today but he has the widest stall to contend with. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to make his mark in handicaps but he has dropped 8lb as a result and now drops into a 0-60; needs a close market check. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-14 overall but has performed respectably for new stable this year, most recently when fourth at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) last month; continues to edge down the weights and ought to be suited by the reduced emphasis on stamina here; not out of this. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden; some fair runs on the Flat this year, notably when third at Ripon last time (1m4f, good); first run on soft ground. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Went close more than once for Harry Charlton but left that yard an eight-race maiden; hasn't threatened to put that right in four runs for new stable but went with a bit more promise when sixth of 11 over 1m3f at Hamilton 11 days ago, keeping on from off the pace after missing the break again; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend. |
