2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back from a break to claim career win number six on the Kempton AW (7f) in March but then disappointed at Yarmouth (off this 3lb higher mark); consistent in the main since sent into handicaps and breaks tend to do him good. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strike-rate of 6-16 so he knows how to win and only 3lb higher than for his half-length reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW); every chance. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won four on turf last spring/summer (7f-1m), climbing the weights by more than a stone, before losing his way latterly; resumes 4lb above his highest successful mark, back from seven months off, but this is easier back on the AW (won his nursery here). |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
0-26 but he's been runner-up five times and was a creditable third in a maiden handicap at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; could be in the mix again but he has some work to do from 3lb out of the weights. |

3rd 5 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-25 but has been runner-up five times, the last twice in classified events at Wolverhampton AW this year where his best chance of success lies; continues in new headgear combination but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his handicaps on AW, winning three at 7f and 1m, but the return to turf is working quite well of late, gaining a first win on the surface at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June then checked in quite a promising run at Sandown (1m, good to firm) since; can be competitive off the same mark. |

Three-time AW scorer at Kempton; opened his turf account in apprentice event under Oliver Carmichael at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) most recently; may remain competitive, back up just 2lb. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win from 16 starts came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and did best of those ridden prominently when eighth of 22 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and he's considered. |
6/1 |
|
8th 13 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
15-race maiden but she has dropped in the weights and ran well for second (clear of the third) behind Diligent Henry (runs in the 4.55) over C&D two weeks ago; can win a race around here but the widest stall dents confidence this time. |
5/1 |
|
10 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Maiden who's been expensive to follow, in two forms of headgear, as she's tumbled down the weights since handicapping; a case could be made on more than one of her previous C&D efforts though. |
8/1 |
|
8th 7 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

0-12 but she has been in the first four in six of her eight AW starts; made the running when fourth at Wolverhampton five weeks ago (7f); not ruled out back down in trip. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Missed the break more often than not and has still to prove his stamina over this far, having run below market expectations when last seen three months ago; questions to answer but 5lb claimer Harry Vigors has been among the winners of late. |
3/1 |
|
9th 7 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Still a maiden but mildly progressive at up to 1m; stamina the query today but he should be able to find a small race in the coming weeks. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (6) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-race maiden whose best form has been in cheekpieces and the return of blinkers backfired last time at Wolverhampton (7f); with those aids retained, others look safer propositions. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 but she wasn't beaten far when fourth of 12 on handicap debut over C&D in March and backed that up with another solid effort at Southwell last month; the cheekpieces worn for those two starts are replaced by second-time blinkers; place claims once again but may prove vulnerable. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent 4yo who won over C&D (good) last summer and came from off the pace to double his tally at Brighton (1m, good) last month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off new mark but ought to be on the premises. |
5/1 |

1st 10 (12) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Still 5lb higher than for his sole success, at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August, but has made the frame in all eight outings since; that reliability counts for plenty in this field. |

4th 5 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Epsom winner last August for regular partner Donagh Murphy off a 5lb lower mark; fair comeback over C&D behind Buy The Dip in April (6lb better off today) but didn't build on that back on turf a fortnight ago. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

Surprise winner of a heavy-ground 0-55 handicap over C&D last autumn; didn't offer a lot on her comeback early in the month and is hard to recommend after that. |
16/1 |

10th 5 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Opened his account for current yard at Ffos Las (7f) in September but off since beating one in 7f Wolverhampton handicap following month; needs to hit the ground running on his seasonal return. |
