Six AW wins on his record, three of them at this track; solid third at Lingfield on Good Friday, on second run for this stable, and he's undergone wind surgery since; promising apprentice takes off 5lb and he's one to consider. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 16lb lower than when winning at Ascot (6f, good to firm; also suited by 7f) on stable debut last spring, but finished well down the field in all four AW sprints since December and returns to turf with lots to prove. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

This his time of year, with two May wins in 2024 and a hat-trick last spring; arrives off the back of a string of modest efforts, though, the returning visor not making much difference last time. |

Landed a turf hat-trick for the visor first going on last spring (won twice in May the year before too); well held in two AW runs from wide stalls this winter and can do better at this lower level with the visor back in place. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

C&D winner two years ago who tends to stick to the AW these days; back up in the weights following a hat-trick in the winter and needs to bounce back from a lesser effort when last seen five weeks ago. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
0-8 here but completed a 6f hat-trick when scoring at Kempton (Polytrack; also won on Tapeta) in February; repeatedly denied a run when unlucky fifth next time and latest third (Hunky Dory fifth) was a solid effort a fortnight ago; considered. |

Unlucky fifth, getting no sort of run, in the Kempton event won by Lazzar when bidding for a 6f four-timer; treated as still in form and still well handicapped (mark is unchanged); remains of interest at this level. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in March; only 1lb higher than for his last win and he's had excuses with traffic issues and a slow start in last two runs; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins and a near-miss to his name in eight starts here and boasts a decent record in the spring down the years, added to when he went in twice at Wolverhampton in March; hit traffic last time and the harder they go the better for him. |
7/1 |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Getting on but retains a lot of his old ability, is still consistent enough and has won over C&D before; rare off-day at Thirsk a fortnight ago, having beating a subsequent winner in a small field off 1lb lower previously; quite capable of bouncing back. |

9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; won at Thirsk (6f, good) last spring and recorded his second AW win on his Southwell reappearance last month; up 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should get a good tow into this race; key player. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with a whimper but he has slipped back down the weights as a consequence; won on last year's reappearance and also ran a fine race after a 175-day layoff in 2024 so unlikely to be lacking in fitness; one to consider. |

Front-runner who won twice over 6f at Southwell last year when trained by Robert Cowell, the most recent coming in October off 2lb higher; visor worn on his final start for that yard is left off for this stable debut (bought for 9,500gns). |

Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Had a productive time on AW over the winter and he's held his form well enough; the only real blip since November came when disappointing at Windsor on his penultimate start which now raises doubts back on turf. |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Tame end to last season and no return to form on his two starts this year; however, he's 2lb lower than when winning this under Olivia Haines last year (good to firm) and the return to the Rowley Mile could trigger a revival. |

Done the bulk of his winning on AW (6-26), but one of his two turf wins came over C&D (from 8lb lower) in August 2024; in fine fettle, with form figures of 322, since returning to turf, beaten just over 2l by Mumayaz at Leicester (6f, good to firm) latest; should give his best. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple wins on AW and turf; has done well for this yard and his 6f turf form in 2025 certainly bears scrutiny; respectable efforts back on grass of late and while not at full strength in either, he'll be suited by this stiffer test at 6f providing there's a good pace; form chance. |

2nd 4 (10) |

No win on turf since September 2024 but he ran well for third at Thirsk (6f, good) two weeks ago, form that has been boosted by the winner and second running well in big fields since; one to be interested in off the same mark. |

All six wins came on AW in 2025; caught the eye both starts this time around (finished behind Em Four latest) and is back on his last winning mark now; trainer red hot; chance may hinge on how well Callum Shepherd, who has done a good job in the past, can settle him. |

All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again. |

1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does. |
