9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

1st 3 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form when landing a C&D handicap last month and followed up under a 4lb penalty at Lingield (1m) a week later; another 4lb higher here but he can't be dismissed in his bid for the hat-trick. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f; ridden by Billy Loughnane); 4lb penalty to shoulder but he won off a higher mark as recently as October; one of two solid contenders for Tony Carroll. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner but his last success came back in June 2024; failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster on his first start since undergoing wind surgery and needs to take a big step forward from that. |
14/1 |
|
12th 3 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It's now 14 starts since his last success and he beat just one in 1m Southwell handicap when last seen in October; this C&D winner needs a subsequent wind operation to spark a resurgence. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 13 months ago but he's run two promising races for James Owen this spring and was beaten less than 2l when sixth at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last time; remains well handicapped on his old form and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing sequence (for Darryll Holland) but he made a promising start for James Owen after a three-month layoff when second of 12 in 1m AW Lingfield handicap nine days ago; big shout nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Darryll Holland with a below-par run at Kempton in January but had gone close off today's mark over C&D a few days earlier and it will be interesting to see what James Owen can do with him (same owner). |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fairly treated on her back-to-back runner-up efforts over 7f on AW/turf in August but not quite at the same level in recent starts; Captain Parma is the more obvious of her prolific stable's pair. |
15/2 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-Irish soft/heavy-ground winner; 0-10 for James Owen since June; has posted some good efforts in defeat but struggles for consistency and it was one of her lesser efforts when fifth of seven at Chester (7f, good) on Friday; first run at 6f for over two years. |
7/2 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-9 for James Owen since the spring; has posted some good efforts in defeat, most recently when third at Lingfield (7f, AW) last week, but her tendency to race too freely and/or start slowly is a nagging concern. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has won here twice already this month, taking his course record to 112311; all those races were over the extended 1m, so this race asks a slightly different question but he grabbed control well over 1f out last time, is back in career-best form and highly respected. |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (10) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Prevailed by half a length last week, taking C&D record to 11231; successful in this race for the last two years and commands respect, even under a 4lb penalty, kept to his ideal scenario. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (14) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; overall record of 3-38 but his last two wins have come over C&D and he returned to form with a front-running third here 11 days ago; remains well handicapped off 2lb lower than for his last success and he could make another bold bid. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last two wins were over 7f in 2024 but he's well treated on his old form and he ran well on a few occasions at up to 1m2f last season; seems to handle most ground and he needs watching in market after six months off; cheekpieces removed. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Two solid efforts in defeat round here, latterly when third to Time Patrol in May (5lb better off); drop to 6f against her next time, before she pulled too hard over a stiff 1m, and a win wouldn't surprise back in the cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-race maiden who has mostly encouraging form; found the return to 6f against her last time and may show progress back up in trip; first attempt at 1m. |
13/2 |

4th 6 (1) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only had the four races; went close in a 6f novice and perhaps stretched by 7f when close up on last week's handicap debut back at Brighton; likely to have some say, though is unraced on ground slower than good. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Dual winner last year (C&D first occasion) but there's been an echo of that form only once this season, when third at Windsor on penultimate start; sinking in the weights but C&D tenth on latest dampens enthusiasm. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Seven wins this year (1m-1m4f, including on good to soft; unraced on softer) and looked better than ever when close third of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) last time; in the mix if handling the ground. |
15/2 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can make the running; highly progressive 4yo until a lesser result at Ayr on latest outing but being hampered at the start seemed to scupper him; had seven wins May-August and went mighty close at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month; 5lb higher today but he remains one for the shortlist. |
100/30 |
|
10 (10) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Highly progressive 4yo who made it seven wins from his last nine starts when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month, and he was a close second of 14 off this mark at Doncaster last Thursday (1m4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); reappears before 5lb rise kicks in and holds very solid claims. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Too good for 21 rivals at Doncaster in March (1m, good to soft) in March; last of 13 at Southwell under a penalty soon after but he didn't see a lot of daylight and he can be given a pass; revival on the cards. |
