9st 6lb |
5f AW winner in Britain in August 2024; failed to fire in 2025 and hasn't looked a winner in waiting in three runs for this stable; dropped 6lb for heavy defeat at Gowran latest (1m, gd-yld); can only watch down in trip. |

20th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Achieved a peak rating of 70 in 2024 based on consistent form over sprint trips at Chelmsford; regressive last season; has failed to beat a single rival in two Dundalk races; tackles this trio for the first time with a lot to prove. |

1-15; well enough handicapped on juvenile form when he achieved a peak rating of 70 based on consistent form at Chelmsford; regressive last season; no sign of a revival in form when last of 14 on Irish debut over 7f here two weeks ago. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D win as a 2yo; first success since when dead-heating in a 1m handicap here 23 days ago (subsequently awarded first place outright); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

Just 1lb higher than when making a successful nursery debut here (7f) in September 2024, but has been out of form for a while and has still to convince over this far. |

19th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner off 2lb lower in February; mixed form since, best run when neck second to Dream Illusion (same terms) over C&D in May; rather disappointing since but may revive now she's back here, particularly from good draw. |
9/1 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Chance on the form of this year's Wolverhampton win and neck second (both 7f), but yet to record an RPR better than 61 away from Tapeta, including two backwards steps on Polytrack most recently. |
12/1 |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in February (7f); better form when second over that C&D in May; latest Chelmsford run not the one to judge her on and this free-going filly could benefit from dropping to 6f; one to consider. |

27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win over 5f on Southwell AW last May but in moderate form on last five starts, three for this yard; return to 5f might help; has been tried in a variety of aids, first-time cheekpieces today. |
33/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Of interest on his best form for Stuart Williams, including a Tapeta win (5f) off 3lb higher; met some trouble in running on his stable debut at Southwell 16 days ago (6f; Atomic Mass second) but he was hardly flashing home; needs to step up on that. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

9st 6lb |
Still to add to his debut win but he has finished second in handicaps the last twice, over C&D and then at Lingfield (6f, AW); shouldn't be far away off the same mark as last time. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Best effort for a while when chasing home Ballsgrove Boy at Kempton four weeks ago; slightly better off at the weights but looks more exposed than his old adversary. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Placed once in ten starts, when third of eight at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) three runs back; while 3l defeat at Wolverhampton last time was respectable when upped to 9.4f, and his dam won at up to 11.4f, others preferred. |
7/1 |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Placed once in nine starts when third of eight at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) on his penultimate outing; needs to find more for the longer trip, but his dam won at up to 11.4f so that is possible. |
12/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

0-8; one of his better efforts when third of eight here (7f) ten days ago; down another 1lb, but he still needs more in the returning cheekpieces. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won off 2lb higher over C&D for Richard Hannon in February but she's struggled since including two tailed-off efforts for new yard this summer; still has low mileage but she needs a major revival back on AW. |
25/1 |
|
10 (2) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made winning handicap debut for Richard Hughes here (6f, AW) in February but three disappointing efforts have followed, the latest on stable debut 19 days ago; needs to turn a corner on this turf debut. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three last year, including at Ayr (5f, good to soft; 13-8 favourite) in July; yet to threaten this year, restless in the stalls at Musselburgh (5f) in April; easing mark - sub 70 for first time in a while - helpful, but tough to recommend at present. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Progressive in lesser company last summer, when completing a hat-trick, latterly off 6lb lower; excuses subsequently, including when getting upset in the stalls (not for the first time) on his comeback behind two of these three weeks ago. |
25/1 |

7th 9 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Completed a hat-trick last summer (5f/6f) and had excuses on his final two starts last season, namely a slow start at tight Chester and soft ground at Doncaster; could rediscover his progressive ways on this comeback. |
