3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice for the Crisford stable but has struggled since, including failing to beat a rival in three starts for current stable; lots to prove. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice for the Crisford stable but he struggled for Mike Smith, and has failed to beat a rival in each of his two starts for current stable; lots to prove. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
1m turf and 1m2f AW winner for the Crisfords but he never took off for Mike Smith and finished last of seven on his stable debut ten weeks ago; impossible to recommend without a market move to offer revival hopes. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
9st 7lb |
Twice a winner in Britain for James Ferguson at 1m4f; kept to hurdling so far by current trainer, just okay form; first try at this extended trip, okay mark. |
14/1 |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y |
11st 8lb |
Three-time British Flat winner for James Ferguson; no wins since 2024; enters handicap hurdle company for the first time now following moderate efforts in four maidens; best watched. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number 11 when coming clear at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) on his debut for Tony Carroll; effective on faster ground and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he's turned a corner. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not particularly solid on his form (three attempts) for new stable and is 0-5 on turf, with both wins on AW; on a reduced mark but isn't the percentage call. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won off 3lb higher at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last March but he's not matched that form since and was beaten 6l over C&D and at Redcar (1m2f) last month; hasn't been with Ruth Carr for long but he needs to raise his game back on AW. |
14/1 |
|
6 (4) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual AW winner for the Newland/Insole stable; changed hands for 9,000gns in July and his sixth of eight on stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 16 days ago was a little more encouraging than it seems; needs a step forward, though, and soft ground would be a query. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Successful three times in May/June but his progress has seemingly come to an end; admittedly may benefit from this drop back in grade after a couple of Class 3 defeats. |
12/1 |
|
10 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In good form on turf until folding tamely and well held last time; consistent in defeat on AW (four attempts) but he's 9lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |
16/1 |
|
3 (3) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won three times this season (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm/good) and again ran well when third of five at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
