9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Last five wins have come on the AW including when completing a hat-trick in the spring; has winning form on good to firm ground, but his last two efforts since returning to turf need improving upon. |

6th 7 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was recording wins eight, nine and ten when rattling off an AW hat-trick this spring (1m-8.6f); the wheels came off when well-beaten over C&D 33 days ago, however, and this mark looks beyond him. |
20/1 |

10th 6 (3) |
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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
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. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got back on track for first success with this yard at Epsom (1m2f, good) last Wednesday; runs off the same mark here as that was a race confined to apprentices and he should be in the shake-up once more. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Encouraging stable debut when second of 12 at Lingfield (1m, AW) hasn't been built on, although latest 8l defeat when fourth of 14 at Redcar (7f) came when the first two home raced alone; from the family of an Oaks winner so there's hope on pedigree that this new trip might help. |

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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
A four-time scorer over 8.5f here (including twice in May); recorded another very good effort with second of six to Tattie Bogle over C&D 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his five wins have been here over 8.5f (good to soft/good to firm), the most recent last month off 4lb lower, and he was runner-up to This Farh over C&D next time; well held at Chester (7.5f, soft) 11 days ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this track. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Goes well here but hasn't won in two years and become expensive to follow, finishing a beaten-favourite in two runs back; soft ground may have been behind his latest effort but he was withdrawn twice in May on account of good to firm, which is a worry. |
6/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His losing run goes back to July 2024 and his mark has plummeted since but he could build on April's fifth at Nottingham; not discounted. |

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 |
|
7 (5) |
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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this term; doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; back in form when fourth at Goodwood last month and Jack Callan gets on well with him; yard going well; player. |
5/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
He's 2-5 for this yard, the wins over 1m on good to soft and good to firm; a slow start was no help last time at Thirsk but he might be high in the weights now. |
5/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
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 |
