14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Well short of his best since joining this yard, only beating a handful of runners home in his four runs in 2026; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |
33/1 |

Won four times for his previous stable, three of which came on the AW at Newcastle; ended his time with that yard with some lesser efforts and he's been well held in two starts for Scott Dixon; dropped another 3lb. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has lost his form since a consistent spell and still has a poor strike-rate, with sole success in 2023; no certainty to take advantage of his reduced mark. |
12/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win from 26 starts and he hasn't been firing on all cylinders of late, including when fitted with blinkers at Redcar on Wednesday; full revival required. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Sole win from 25 starts came in a novice at Southwell in December 2023; ran well when fourth there last month but he needs to bounce back from two disappointing runs since; blinkers now replace cheekpieces. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; got up late to win a handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good) last month and ran another respectable race when fourth in a classified event at Ayr (1m; Park Lane Penny was second) 11 days ago; claims. |
10/1 |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Prevailed narrowly in Beverley handicap (7.5f, good) last time, bouncing back to form and showing that his old legs can still operate successfully; 1-1 at classified level; shortlisted. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came on debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January; beaten nearly 2l when fourth of nine at Thirsk (7f, good) in July but he was never involved following a slow start at Doncaster 19 days ago; dropped another 1lb and the visor is added on this return to AW. |

7th 7 (1) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
6f AW win on debut came in a weak race; yet to make a big impact in five handicaps but he came from off the pace when a respectable fourth at Thirsk (7f, good) and was beaten less than 2l; could be dangerous if he can build on that. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won off 2lb higher at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last November but she's been a long way below that level on her last four starts. |
25/1 |

15th 5 (15) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won two fillies' handicaps (7f and 1m) at Newcastle in November but has lost her form in recent AW starts; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf and step up in trip sparks a revival. |
33/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two fillies' handicaps (7f and 1m) at Newcastle last November; back down in the weights but that is a result of disappointing efforts on her last two starts. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
13yo who reappeared with a C&D win in May before a good third at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; most of these have something to prove whereas he arrives with very solid credentials. |
6/1 |

3rd 8 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (11) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13yo whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in November and he ran well when runner-up there when last seen 157 days ago; contender if ready to go on his return. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well treated on old form but last win was two years ago and she's not posed a threat in her three runs this season; now drops back into a Class 6 event but she needs to find some extra spark. |
12/1 |

7th 7 (3) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

On a losing run but handicapped accordingly and she ran a creditable race when fourth at Wetherby last month (7f, good to firm); better could be forthcoming. |

Dual C&D scorer; made an encouraging return with sixth at Catterick (7f) in May but beat one in 7f Redcar handicap since; needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has won three of his 34 races on turf, the latest off this mark at Musselburgh last August (7f, good); should come on for his reappearance run and a possible. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done his winning at 7f-1m but recent form features two encouraging efforts over 1m2f (turf/AW); long losing spell remains a cause for concern, however. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time winner but his last success was in August 2022; on much reduced mark and was creditable third at Beverley (1m2f; tongue-tie added) in July but he was beaten 13l at Ripon last time and that took his losing run to 20; down the list. |
12/1 |
|
4 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Much lower in the weights than for the latest of five wins in 2022 and ran well when third of 14 behind a couple of dead-heaters (including Star Start) at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last time; each-way claims again despite a losing run of 19. |
7/1 |
