10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Perhaps in need of the run when eighth of 13 behind Hucklesbrook at Leicester on return in May and left that behind him when readily seeing off his 13 rivals at Windsor last month (6f, good to firm); that race has thrown up some winners and a 7lb rise looks justified but he is in much deeper this time. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Salisbury last June but had a setback after that (source Racing Post stable tour); eighth of 13 on first run for ten months at Leicester (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and should build on that. |
10/1 |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Salisbury win last summer has been well advertised since and his subsequent Group 2 effort is likely best overlooked (trapped deep and pulled hard over 7f); since been gelded and still has potential now handicapping back from ten months off. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it second-time lucky when landing a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last December; 0-7 since but he's been placed in two of his last three handicaps and ran better than the bare result back at Kempton (7f) last time; still unexposed at this trip and has possibilities off dangerous mark. |
11/2 |

8th 7 (2) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Connections got a couple of runs into him late last year and he managed a win (here); narrow personal best when upped to 7f this month (second, no match for winner; also here) before seemingly caught out back sprinting on Saturday; chance. |
7/1 |
|
7 (3) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Good and bad this season but a slow start didn't help when blinkered for the first time at Kempton (7f) and he finished his race out well; quick enough for 6f and, if breaking better here, then should have a say. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to win a handicap but there have been some near misses this summer, including when half a length behind Abbey Heights at Wolverhampton in June; gelded since last in action and he returns with his stable going well; good draw and he's high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
13 (8) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has some solid form to his name, notably seconds at Haydock and Wolverhampton; 2lb well in but there are other improving sorts on show. |
12/1 |
|
4 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on Southwell Tapeta on second start; can probably still raise his game in 6f handicaps, having had a poor run at Newcastle on first attempt and running to a useful level at Haydock in May before a shade onepaced in fourth at Windsor since; the likely good pace here will suit. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when landing a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) in September but that was a golden opportunity and he struggled back in a handicap in his final run last season; drops back in grade on his return but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |

14 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when comfortably seeing off four rivals in a Chepstow maiden last month (6f, soft); has run well in some useful handicaps this year but likely he will need another career-best to come out on top this time. |
12/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Handles soft ground; some fair form without winning over 6f and he was beaten by a promising one at Ffos Las (good; third won AW maiden since) before never involved from a high draw in a Racing League race on Wolverhampton AW in August (first-time cheekpieces, retained); solid form chance. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Found only Realign too strong at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn despite meeting trouble at a crucial stage, and he was back on the up when a neck second of 16 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; reliable and has notably solid credentials. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name after 13 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage), and his return to action at Kempton should have blown away any cobwebs; best efforts on flat tracks but he is feasibly weighted if the undulations of Ripon aren't an issue. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Just one win to his name after 12 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage); 2lb higher mark less of a concern than the fact he has been well beaten in his two seasonal debut runs. |

Hasn't looked well handicapped for his new stable but his mark is easing and conditions shouldn't faze him; this looks a tough race in which to try to rediscover his best though. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Ran in a couple of Group 3s for Stuart Williams late last summer before changing hands for 40,000gns; returned to handicaps for new yard this spring but he's been well held in his three runs and overall record now stands at 1-10; opposable. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Most of his turf form is on good/good to firm; looks interesting on his best efforts last season but he was disappointing at Wolverhampton in March and sole win was in a maiden in June 2024; others preferred. |

6th 4 (4) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Record is only 1-14 but he's on a reduced mark and returned after 233 days off with a creditable fourth over C&D last month; should benefit from that run and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

Won a four-runner fillies' novice at Doncaster (6f, good) for Richard Fahey a year ago; out of her depth in Group 3 company next time, but finished last of 14 on her reappearance/stable debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago (behind Star Chorus); plenty to prove. |

9st 11lb |
C&D winner last spring off a 4lb higher mark who finished a clear second on his return to turf nine days ago; 2lb higher now but having Jack Callan (1-11 for the yard) up to take off 3lb won't hurt; one to consider. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

In fair form in second half of 2024, winning 7f Salisbury maiden (good to firm) before finishing third in Southwell novice (6f); had a wind op afterwards; best of her three runs this year when 3.5l seventh of nine at Windsor last time (6f, good); return to 7f could suit. |

Responded well to the fitting of a hood when off the mark at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; best effort since when fourth of ten at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; still 4lb higher than for his win so needs a bit more. |

Off the mark at sixth attempt when scoring with hood added at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; finished a 5l sixth in both runs since but he had some traffic issues on both occasions and still looks feasibly treated on his peak form; could be a big factor if he gets the breaks this time. |

Prevailed in reapplied hood at Southwell (6f) last time, taking AW record to 4-13; needs to prove he can transfer the form back to turf; only 1-10 in this sphere and is 7lb higher than last attempt. |

Narrowly came out on top when winning here over 5f last month before finishing a close third at Lingfield (5f, AW) next time, and shaped as if still in form in a race not run to suit back there ten days ago; step back up to 6f looks worth a try; hood back on. |

Never better than of late, just coming out best in a tight scrap at Southwell (5f) and slightly hampered when unable to get to the winner in time over C&D since, when finishing a close third; big player if leaving off the tongue-tie makes no difference. |

All four wins at Wolverhampton, including one over this trip, but has run well on Polytrack; should be all the better for last month's return when fourth of six over 6f back at Wolverhampton (first and third have won since); a player. |
