24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-11, including four defeats for this yard; late interference didn't cost her the race at Windsor (1m, good to firm) but it was a respectable effort in a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are now added; likely to race prominently. |
4/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 for Peter Chapple-Hyam and 0-3 this year for current yard; on dangerous mark and was runner-up at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March but she didn't match that back on turf at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last time; tongue-tie is now added and she needs to find more back at this trip. |

Absent since an autumn C&D effort that was respectable but took her AW record to 0-9; has gained none of her turf wins when fresh; doesn't look the percentage call. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Six wins on turf and 0-9 on the AW, though was only beaten a head here (8.6f) last October and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time turf winner but his last success was in August 2023; returned to form with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in October but diminishing returns since and was only fourth of five on his Bath reappearance (1m, firm) last month; others preferred. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time for a fifth AW win; upped in grade but receives weight all round and is a solid contender, with C&D form figures reading 1223. |
6/1 |

1st 9 (9) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has two course wins, including one over C&D; fair fifth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago an first outing for six months; should come on for the run but looks high enough in the weights for now. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Decent record round here, including a C&D win last April, one of three victories in 2025; gone well fresh but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and resumes from six months off on a career-high mark (4lb higher than when last successful). |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who has gained both wins (7f/1m) on good to firm; grabbed third place on line over 6f for an encouraging reappearance effort and looks interesting back up in distance, with further improvement still a possibility. |
7/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Winless for previous yard but he won his first two turf starts for this one in 2025, over 1m at Windsor and 7f at Newbury (both on good to firm); it's possible that good to soft ground proved his undoing when last seen in August but a layoff since raises questions as does the return to 6f. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Five wins at 1m, the latest two coming at this track in 2024; didn't run badly on his seasonal return here a fortnight ago (1m, firm); capable off this mark but the start is always a major concern where he is concerned. |
8/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been over 1m, twice here; has been running well over further since his last win but slow starts have become a habit. |
