22nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Form dipped last time but generally consistent and may rebound; however, 0-7 since debut win and chance of doubling his tally depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win (seven races) was debut last June; ran respectably in his first three handicaps (one on turf, on good ground) and reappeared with a good front-running second over this trip on Wolverhampton AW 13 days ago; same mark today and has a chance if the form is repeated. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |

8th 6 (4) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Well suited by switchback tracks and is on his last winning mark but he offered very little for his new yard at a big price on his recent comeback; headgear goes back on (first-time cheekpieces). |
50/1 |
|
3 (5) |
1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
The latest of his seven wins on turf was in April 2024 off today's mark; out of form on last three starts last year, including with slow starts, and has since left the Newland/Insole stable; no tongue-tie or other headgear today, for the first time since 2021. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual course winner over 6f/7f, the most recent coming in March off the same mark as today; below his best in three starts since but can't be dismissed back on the AW. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Got back on the scoresheet with a 20-1 win at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March; didn't get any luck at York next time but he was well held on his return visit at the end of May; has bit to prove again after a break but he's only 1lb higher than for his last win. |
25/1 |
|
14th 11 (8) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth and fifth in his two big-field C&D races last term; Newcastle win in March ensures a career-high mark today but it's hard to judge him harshly on last week's C&D result as he didn't see daylight at various stages. |

Very in and out across his eight starts last year but won three times, including here (1m1f, good) in October; he could be involved if fully tuned up on this first outing since December. |

Five wins at Southwell but didn't run much of a race there last time and it's a long time since he was successful on turf; others appeal more. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time course winner at 7f and 6f who has run well at Doncaster on his last two starts, most recently when fourth (beaten a length) 19 days ago; just 1lb higher than his win here in February and has claims. |
11/2 |

4th 8 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's a prolific winner who bounced back with a fair fifth over C&D (good) three weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and last success was off a similar mark. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Prominent racer; the pick of his form in the first half of the year brings him right into the reckoning but more recent efforts haven't quite been at that level; dropping into a Class 6 will help. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 and nothing like the force of old but placed in this grade on last three appearances; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f last time; ought to be right in the thick of things. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (1) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 1m on the AW, but neck defeats at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) and at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) in her last two starts suggest this trip should be within range on a sharp track; high on list. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Tailed off on hurdle/yard debut last autumn but proved a different proposition after a break when successful back on the Flat at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May, pulling over 4l clear and posting his peak RPR; evidently capable when fresh so being off for a further three months isn't a concern but he'll require another career best off 7lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off 1lb higher at Kempton (1m, AW) last July but he's been well held in last two Flat runs and was tailed off on his hurdling/stable debut in September; overall record is now 0-15 and has something to prove on his return. |
16/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

0-14 on the Flat but placed a few times, most recently when close second at Kempton (1m, AW; RPR 72) for John Gallagher in July; stamina might be an issue over hurdles but he joined a good stable for jumping career. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |

Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
15/8 |

2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |
