20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was two years ago but he's been placed in all three runs this season including close calls over C&D (good to firm) and at Ffos Las (1m2f, good); remains well handicapped on his old form and he should make another bold bid. |
3/1 |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Losing run is mounting up but on a good mark and placed in his last two races (1m2f); goes on all ground; hard to rule out. |

C&D winner whose losing run is up to 17 but he had dropped 14lb below his last winning mark when beaten less than a length into third of seven here four weeks ago; respected if building on that. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-race maiden but she had a near-miss with cheekpieces added in a Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; showed a good attitude with that rallying effort and she's a big player off unchanged mark. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never made her debut until April when second at Yarmouth (1m2f, good), which remains her best piece of form; found nothing for pressure on handicap debut (1m2f) but didn't appear unfancied at 7-2 and could be given another chance in new cheekpieces. |

Dual winner from the front last summer but has shown very little this season; tumbling in the weights but carries clear risks. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Secured a fourth win (three on turf) when taking Lingfield handicap (1m2f, AW) on his April reappearance but that hasn't been backed up in two subsequent starts; latest fourth was a step back in the right direction, however, when shaping like this first attempt at 1m4f is worth a go; 1-1 here and he holds each-way prospects. |
16/1 |

4th 8 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; reappeared with a comfortable AW win in April but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off back on turf at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back again after that but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form. |
16/1 |

8th 8 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 12lb |
Four wins in Britain for Ian Williams at 1m2f on all sorts of ground; yet to find form for this stable; new headgear combination tried after 8.5l defeat at Fairyhouse latest. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f (three times off a mark of 71); nothing for this yard until midly encouraging fifth at Bellewstown (1m, soft) on penultimate; didn't build on that at Sligo. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
10st 2lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f; nothing for this yard at big odds until mildly encouraging run at Bellewstown last time; drops in class now and has his ground, worth a market check. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Not at best on the Flat this year but won off much reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm; RPR 80) in July; goes without headgear on this hurdling debut but has the raw ability to pose a threat if she takes to this game. |
10/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner in 2023 on sole course start; has her good and ordinary days, once refusing to race, but first-time cheekpieces seemed to spur her on when a wide-margin winner at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; back up 7lb but still well treated on past exploits. |
100/30 |

6 (9) |
10th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
On a handy mark but isn't particularly solid on her form for current stable; chance largely depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

Made all at Salisbury (1m2f) last time, recording her first win away from Bath; ran well at Newbury last summer but has to overcome a career-high mark. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Went close in a small field over C&D (good to firm) before fluffing her lines with odds-on at Lingfield (good), where she cut out quickly when it mattered; has a big run in her if back on song; usually held up. |
3/1 |

31st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Likes fast ground and goes well at Bath; beaten only narrowly by a determined rival at Salisbury last time (1m2f) and that was in a Class 5. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner, most recently in November 2024 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) off a 14lb higher mark than today's; has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third in a classified event at Wolverhampton 65 days ago; steps back into handicaps with claims. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (8) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored four times on turf in 2024; on the decline since and 0-13 on AW but he was well backed when a creditable fourth in a C&D classified event ten days ago when just behind Dash Power; big player if he can build on that. |
7/2 |
