2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time AW winner who has rather stagnated in that sphere in 2026; record of 0-8 on turf but he was placed off higher marks in last two attempts; each-way possibilities, provided he's back in similar form. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps at Hamilton in May (1m4f, good), weakening in the closing stages; 2lb drop in the weights helps and she remains capable of better. |

28th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dam bred three Group 1 winners in Italy, two at 1m4f; has run with plenty of credit in qualifying events, considering 1m was inadequate on first two starts before denied a clear run when building up to a challenge at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month; can improve now handicapping at 1m4f. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Is 0-16 and he beat only one in 1m4f Southwell handicap in February; needs to bounce back after a break. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Inconsistent 15-race maiden but he made some eyecatching late progress when fourth here (1m3f) two weeks ago; finished behind Night Bear in that race but he could be dangerous back up in trip. |
10/1 |

4th 8 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Still a maiden and inconsistent for current stable; shaped quite encouragingly in C&D classified event most recently but isn't guaranteed to back up that effort. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won four of 12 races on the AW, three over C&D, and the latest at Southwell last October (1m3f) off this mark; should come on for her latest run in April when back from a break; can go well. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-11 on AW and only 1lb higher than for last October's front-running win at Southwell (1m3f); lower draw would have been ideal but she has the ability to feature. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Clear promise in three 7f maiden/novice runs on AW early in the year; some promise on turf/handicap debut at Salisbury in May (1m2f, good to firm) but ran poorly at Lingfield two weeks ago (AW; tried in blinkers which are quickly dispensed with); could still have a bigger run in him. |
25/1 |

8th 6 (1) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In the frame in his first three starts at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) earlier in the year (all three races have produced winners), but didn't improve much when fourth of eight on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month; still early days, though, and blinkers are now given a go. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
4yo who has shown ability on the Flat and it's still very early days over hurdles; however, he was soundly beaten on his handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |

6th 5 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile hurdler who may show improvement off his opening hurdles mark; 0-9 overall but looks favourably treated with his Flat rating in mind and Gregor Walkingshaw takes off a bonus 10lb. |
8/1 |

6th 4 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-6 on the Flat and failed to progress; ran okay when sixth of ten at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on New Year's Day on his second hurdle start but others have achieved considerably more. |

9st 1lb |
Record of 1-12 for Ian Williams, the success off current mark in 1m2f Class 6 last June; still in same ownership; bit to prove in this scenario on stable/seasonal debut. |

Got off the mark on handicap debut at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) in June but beaten in five handicaps since; drops back in trip and cheekpieces worn on penultimate outing return but hard to fancy. |

Can race prominently (as for April's 7f win here) but she came from pretty much last to win at Kempton a month ago (1m); 5lb rise sees her on a career-high mark but has to be considered. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Won over a similar trip at Ripon in July and, although best efforts since have been on AW, he may find one or two too good in refitted cheekpieces. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Got off the mark at Ripon (1m2f) in July and posted a good fifth of ten in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 17 days ago; well in the mix with cheekpieces added. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Placed in three of his eight races before a breakthrough win at Ripon (1m2f; narrowly); has since finished last at Carlisle and has no AW experience. |
