4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Awarded the Spring Mile at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last March and he's fully 12lb lower today; ran well in defeat at Ayr last month on first two starts for this yard (1m/1m1f, good to firm) and he's on the shortlist. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won six for Darryll Holland, most notably when awarded the Spring Mile in March 2025; lost his way thereafter, and Gay Kelleway (0-4) couldn't rejuvenate; joined Jim Goldie for 13,000gns and there were positive signs when third over 1m here (stable debut) recently; is dangerously handicapped. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fairly useful for Darryll Holland, then form went markedly awry during a brief spell with Gay Kelleway; sold for 13,000gns since last run; market may prove instructive on debut for another new yard. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off a similar mark in this race for Charlie Hills last year; made a good start for new yard when third at Hamilton (1m1f) last month and he had another close call at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; usually races prominently and another bold bid is expected. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice for Charles Hills, including 1m2f on fast ground, and he ran well on his stable/seasonal debut at Hamilton last month (1m1f, good to firm), beaten around half a length into third (strong favourite); has races in him off this sort of mark but he could face competition for the lead here. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has record of 4-10 at Chester and he won this race in 2023; no joy in Bahrain last winter and has mixed record since returned to Britain but he won at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June and was only just caught at Chelmsford last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back at this track. |
4/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off a reduced mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June but he dropped right out in his follow-up bid there two weeks later; now drops back in trip but he's not easy to predict and has had only three AW runs in his 42-race career; others preferred. |
13/2 |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Snapped a long losing run and capitalised on a reduced mark over 10.4f here (good) a fortnight ago; enjoyed the run of the race in front and it might be the case this longer trip stretches him nowadays, but he did it nicely last time and remains well treated on old form back up 6lb; not discounted. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Odds-on win in Kempton maiden (1m, Polytrack) last September but she's not gone from that in three runs since including two handicaps (1m2f); still unexposed but she needs to raise her game with cheekpieces added back in trip. |
13/2 |

5 (9) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced as 2yo but had form figures of 313 in maiden/novice events at Kempton (1m, AW) last season; never involved on handicap/seasonal debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) but she made some promising late headway and wasn't beaten far; should be sharper this time and she still has untapped potential. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful on the Flat, of similar ability to Road To Wembley; made hurdle debut in a race won by Sober Glory, after which he had wind surgery; chased home a promising horse at Kempton and shouldn't be far away. |

2nd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Had wind surgery since finishing tailed off in Newbury novice hurdle for new yard; retains potential under this code, having proved fairly useful on the Flat. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |

Took his Flat record to 3-14 with 1m2f success (RPR 82) on last appearance; sold out of Ed Walker's stable for 50,000gns later in October; market may give further guidance switched to this code. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner whose losing run is up to 17 but he had dropped 14lb below his last winning mark when beaten less than a length into third of seven here four weeks ago; respected if building on that. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner who is versatile ground-wise; well handicapped on best form last season but he was out of sorts in the autumn and needs a major revival after six months off. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

Three handicap wins (one on soft) at 1m2f, the latest in July 2024; 11lb lower today but he's basically gone off the boil this season. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield 11 days ago; 1lb higher in a better race but current wellbeing will count for plenty here. |
9/2 |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
3-36 and has suffered heavy defeats on turf in two his last three starts, but he went down by just a head at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in between; perhaps not the most reliable, but would be a player on that form. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Redcar in July (1m2f, good); hasn't built on that win in three runs since and hopes appear to rest on new headgear piquing his interest. |
10/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-2 on the AW but hasn't performed badly; it was over this trip when successful at Redcar in July (first-time cheekpieces; 3lb lower) and his subsequent fifths were fairly close ones; each-way claims. |
14/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap (good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; held in fifth of 12 at Windsor last time but he was only beaten around 2l and that was a a creditable effort in a Racing League event; should go well again and he's in the mix. |
