2nd 5 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three consecutive times in refitted blinkers last June/July, most recently off today's mark over C&D (good to firm), but made a low-key reappearance three weeks ago and needs that run to have brought him on. |
8/1 |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Bagged a hat-trick (including over C&D) last summer and he signed off for 2025 with a solid third in 1m6f Wolverhampton handicap in October; has won off a break too. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Completed a hat-trick at about 1m4f this summer and probably matched all that form when second over 1m4f here four weeks ago; should be fine over this far and rates a solid contender. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still without a win on the Flat and he's been off since a below-par 11th over hurdles at Newbury in November; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
16/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Stuck on a losing run but has to warrant a second look after his recent second over C&D. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made light of a six-month absence when landing 12-runner handicap over C&D 19 days ago; up 3lb but he's not taken lightly. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent first year with Ruth Carr included solid second over C&D (good to firm) and a win over 1m5f at Hamilton (good) in July; form tailed off markedly on final two starts of 2025 but no surprise if he resumes in better form following a break. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent first year with Ruth Carr, winning over 1m5f at Hamilton in July and reaching the frame on six other occasions; possible soft didn't suit when below par latest; had course form for previous yard; considered. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One of his two wins was over this C&D in August; hasn't run quite so well since; could bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins on AW this year, with first over C&D in April and latest at Lingfield (AW) last month; disappointing back at this track last time but he may have done too much too soon and he's capable of bouncing back; in the mix for in-form yard. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Gained all three wins for Ian Williams at classified level on AW; always behind on stable debut at Bath (11.6f, firm) last month but he now returns to Polytrack and has claims if he can get back near best; hood is removed and tongue-tie returns. |
10/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Gained all three wins for Ian Williams at classified level on AW; remains to be seen whether he can hold his form back on turf; wears new headgear on stable debut. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-23 on the Flat, having had several chances off basement marks; should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles but makes very limited appeal. |
66/1 |

28th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |

Is 0-19 and turned in a below-par fifth of nine in 1m6f Yarmouth handicap 23 days ago; others appeal more. |
