9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Last of seven in 8.5f Beverley maiden 15 days ago; ventures into handicaps now with plenty more required. |
8/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Beaten 22l and 12l in maidens at Doncaster and Leicester; probably one for handicaps. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Keen early and weakened to be beaten 22l at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; 22-1); the hood is retained and he's since been gelded; enough to prove. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
In good form at Meydan this year for new yard, most recently scoring readily in first-time hood to take his 1m record to 22111 (all wins on good/firmer); may have even more to offer over this trip in the retained headgear; sound claims. |
10/1 |
|
18 (6) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Got off the mark at the sixth attempt in Leicester maiden (1m, good to firm) last month and followed up on handicap debut here (1m, good) a fortnight ago; there are mixed messages from his pedigree regarding the step up in trip and he could do with settling better than last time, but this progressive 3yo was strong at the finish and could take a 5lb penalty in his stride for a top trainer who has won this three times since 2011. |
9/4 |
|
1st 9 (2) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Promising 2yo for the now-retired Sir Michael Stoute last season; didn't enjoy a clear run when second in Nottingham novice (1m, good) on his stable and seasonal debut, and easily won Leicester maiden (1m, good to firm) next time; with a top Newmarket trainer and has potential off his opening mark. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't show a great deal on the Flat for Jack Channon last year (unplaced all six runs) but came second in two juvenile hurdles for new stable in December; absent since January but still looks quite interesting in this basement grade on Flat return. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 |
27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Much better over hurdles than on the Flat, finishing second on first two runs in this code (2m1f/2m, heavy/good); prominent when unseating three out at Ascot (1m7f, soft) last time; he's one to consider. |
13/2 |
|
1 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Unplaced all starts on Flat for Jack Channon but has shown an aptitude for hurdling, improving on debut form when runner-up to a promising type at Kempton (2m, good) just after Christmas; may progress further. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (good to firm) on his April return and it was a fine effort when third at Newbury (also 1m2f, good) a fortnight later; couldn't maintain his lead in better events subsequently but this drop back in grade should see him last longer. |
11/2 |
|
11th 10 (9) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Made it 2-5 when making all in Yarmouth handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his reappearance in April; creditable third at Newbury the following month but he flopped when joint-favourite at Redcar last time; has bit to prove again after that and he could have competition for the lead back on AW. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a small field at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) and definitely improved on that form when a battling third behind classy improvers from top yards at Newbury (good); an easy lead looks unlikely here but he's a 4yo on the upgrade. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Favourite for handicap debut over C&D (good) in July and duly showed vastly better form, getting on top in a sustained duel with the second; 10-11 at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and, although he took some pushing, he was comfortably on top through the final 1f; raised another 4lb but may well have more to give. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Quiet maiden runs at about 1m but went off favourite for handicap debut at Haydock (1m2f, good) and got the better of a sustained duel with the second (pair clear); raised 7lb but that might not be the end of the world. |
6/4 |
|
3 (2) |
19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Modest efforts to date, last two with a hood (left off here); step up to 1m2f should suit and he's an unexposed sort who can improve on handicap debut. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran poorly last time, taking turf record to 0-6; broadly consistent on AW otherwise for current yard and he is 2-2 over C&D, the wins gained last autumn; 3-8 overall in this sphere; likely to be played late by Jamie Spencer (up for first time) and has possibilities back here. |
9/2 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with him landing a hat-trick, including two over 2m round Southwell, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; solid effort there last Thursday, back from a few months off (1m3f), but he'll want a similarly strong pace this evening. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-8; best effort was when second of 11 in a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good) in July, but his efforts in handicaps since leave plenty to be desired. |
14/1 |
|
10 (1) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Not matched his maiden/novice form in three handicap runs; cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; not easily recommended. |
16/1 |

11 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed bag in his six starts, with his two handicap runs yielding heavy defeats; lacklustre run at Southwell last time has seen connections turn to headgear; others look safer. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Improved once returned to AW and bagged a hat-trick across October and December (1m); on the scoresheet again upped to 9.5f at Wolverhampton (career-best form) in February; form took a slight dip on last two starts, while his earlier turf form isn't comparable so interesting to see how he fares back on grass. |
16/1 |
|
10th 9 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Record in AW handicaps reads 11124135; pulled his chance away at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last month, but may settle better in this bigger field; one for the shortlist. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unplaced in all seven starts; he has shown some promise but he doesn't look progressive and connections now reach for headgear. |
10/1 |
|
9 (4) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-6 though he has shown some ability since switching to handicaps, albeit he proved a disappointing favourite at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) last month after missing the break; not sure dropping back in trip is the answer. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not that threatening in his last two handicaps (1m/1m2f) but ran okay to be fourth, showing similar sort of form; dropped into a Class 6 here and should have some say. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Long odds-on when winning a 1m maiden at Pontefract (good) and achieved more in defeat when going down narrowly on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm); did get competitive some way out with Silent City which left both vulnerable when it mattered; much respected. |
7/2 |
|
2 (1) |
12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Well-connected filly who made a more experienced and promising Haggas filly work at Ffos Las in July and she didn't have to improve to get off the mark at Pontefract (also 1m, good) 16 days ago, proving game from the front; should be open to improvement now handicapping. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta (1m) last month but she didn't hit the same level when fourth at Chepstow (1m, good; 5-2 favourite) last time; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more back up in trip; 1lb out of the weights. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent filly who popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta a fortnight ago; there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise but history suggests she's no certainty to repeat the dose. |
6/1 |

1st 14 (1) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win from 12 came in the mud at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) last September; didn't offer much in her first three starts this year, and only a smidgen more when sixth of nine at Kempton (1m; 28-1, beaten 3l) four weeks ago. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Won over 1m at Southwell in October (1m AW; 5lb lower) but not many positives to draw on since that win; off since January. |
20/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Looked as though she could make a mark in better company when easily seeing off ten rivals over C&D in October, her second handicap run; two lesser efforts have followed but perhaps the return to Southwell can see her resume her progress. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (10) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Never involved when eighth of 12 on recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) but she was beaten under 4l and her lightly raced profile means improvement wouldn't come as a surprise. |
