11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |

Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

9st 2lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April; respectable fifth of 15 over C&D (good) at the Dante meeting in May but well held twice since, latterly at 100-1 in the John Smith's Cup. |

9st 1lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April and respectable fifth of 15 to Warrant Holder over this C&D (good) in May; the return to Epsom maybe didn't suit latest (well beaten) but he needs to bounce back with a career best. |
50/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
6yo who has a career-high mark on the strength of his win at Pontefract (1m2f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in April; creditable fifth at York next time but the chief disincentive is probably that he ran poorly in this race last year on his only visit to Epsom. |

9st 0lb |
Ended an 18-race losing run when beating three rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran well when second of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; all his best form has come on good/good to firm ground, though. |

2nd 7 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won four-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month and close fourth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) next time; caught wide early and failed to settle when mid-division in competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) last Saturday so that run can be forgiven; not discounted. |

Had slipped in the weights before winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July, and he ran at least as well over 1m at York next time; should be thereabouts again. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 14 months ago; now 8lb lower after some disappointing efforts but last time's fourth at Beverley in June could be viewed as a step back in the right direction. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Five wins from 39 starts, the most recent coming at York (1m2f, good) last June off a 6lb higher mark than today's; well beaten in two starts since returning from his second wind operation and now has cheekpieces applied. |

1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

Returned to winning form at Windsor (11.4f, soft) last month, but didn't shape as though he wanted a drop in trip when third of five at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) 17 days later; cheekpieces given a go. |

Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Recorded narrow wins on his final start of last year at York (1m2f, good) and on his Chester reappearance (1m2f, good) in May, but held in last two starts including when behind King's Code back at Chester; half-brother to an AW winner, but he needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (6) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ended last season with big-field win at York (1m2f, good) in the autumn and posted another career-best performance when leading close home over C&D (good) on reappearance outing in May; ought to have been suited by the good to soft ground when well beaten in valuable Espom handicap on Oaks day but still enters calculations on return to this track. |
11/2 |
|
14th 14 (14) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden in 2023 but peak efforts have been on good in the last 13 months; unraced here but scored twice over 1m2f at the similar Chester track, including on his only start this season; all three handicap wins were in tight finishes, but he's gone up just 3lb since latest and is likely to be seriously involved if he goes on the ground. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 8lb |
Running okay without really threatening to win this season; not terrible efforts the last twice at the Curragh (1m2f, gd-fm) and on latest at Galway (1m4f, yld-sft) but probably needs a bit more help from the handicapper to get his head back in front. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Ran poorly over hurdles at Listowel in May but last two runs on the Flat have been decent; 4l second of 10 at Leopardstown in early May (1m4f, good); 4.75l fourth of 12 at the Curragh 34 days ago; place claims off 1lb lower but needs to find a bit more to win. |

Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |

Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |

All wins have come in the spring, mainly on soft ground, but there was no win this time round; has his lowest mark since 2020 but easily his best show this season was in March; usually wears a visor or cheekpieces and now he's blinkered first time. |
