17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account. |
7/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark in a classified at Ayr in July in a first-time visor (retained until now), finishing in the frame on all four starts since; first-time blinkers now take over and holds claims if new headgear can eke out further improvement. |

Off the mark in first-time visor (retained since) in Ayr classified (1m, good to soft) in July and has continued in good form, finishing third in handicaps at Catterick (7f, soft/good) on last two runs; solid claims. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (16-1; from 3lb lower) five weeks ago; that came as a bit of a surprise, only his second win since August 2021, but the form was given a boost with the third (Moon Over The Sea) winning at Bath on Monday; needs considering. |

1st 9 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Bagged a classified contest last August, ending a long losing spell, and has proved consistent at the same level this year; however, this 9yo hasn't won a handicap since 2021. |

9st 0lb |
All six wins have been on the AW; two fair runs at Newcastle in June/July but well beaten on last three runs on turf; plenty to prove. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Six-time winner but unreliable in handicaps and classified races; not the percentage call. |
10/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a similar race at Southwell in January; best effort since when third of 14 at Newcastle 19 days ago (1m; blinkered first time); a danger to all if the headgear works so well a second time. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good) last month when back on turf and back down in trip and she followed up over 1m6f here; clearly thriving and has strong claims. |
9/4 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Newcastle in October and solid fourth there (also 1m4f, AW) in February; didn't stay 2m back at that track last month but a return to 1m4f did the trick when taking a course handicap (good) a fortnight ago; big player if her stamina lasts out. |
9/4 |

1st 7 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October and close fourth there (1m4f, AW) in February; didn't see out 2m there last month; also effective on turf and she's one to consider now back down in trip. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

Gained a superb ninth success of the winter in 6f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; gamely making all; reverts to turf now off a career-high mark but he's a big player once more. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-8 but was runner-up off 5lb higher at Chepstow (1m, good) in May and that was her sole handicap attempt; could go well returned to this type of race and she's unexposed on AW; first-time blinkers replace visor. |
10/1 |
|
10 (9) |
29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good) in May but she's not gone on from that in three runs since; ran respectably in classified event at Chepstow (fifth of 14) last month but she needs to find something extra to make the breakthrough. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
No improvement for the drop to this grade at Yarmouth 18 days ago (1m2f, good), dropping away tamely; early days still and new cheekpieces could help; still not a solid option though. |
20/1 |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Second foal of a useful, well-related mare; offfered little in three AW runs over 7f in the winter; this is more realistic but would want to see market confidence back from five months off. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Well beaten in two 7f runs on AW this winter; bred to do better at some point and this maiden lacks depth. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Poor form in novice events but he was a market springer on his handicap debut at Redcar in April (1m2f, good; blinkered first time); dropped away having over-raced on that occasion and he left Kevin Ryan afterwards; never dangerous on stable debut at Pontefract two weeks ago; enough to prove. |
20/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Modest form so far and was a long way from justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) on final start for Kevin Ryan; this trip should suit better; new aids replace first-time blinkers. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Second start on turf when just pipped by Lunanova in C&D handicap (good to firm) on his comeback in May and got off the mark when beating 11 others in Thirsk classified (1m, good) last time; likely has more to offer on grass. |
5/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden but he comes here on the back of a good front-running second at Brighton two weeks ago (1m, good to firm); strong claims with a repeat. |
4/1 |
|
5 (1) |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-8; best effort since handicapping came when third of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) in February and he wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m, AW; got no cover) in March; off since and an unknown quantity in his first turf handicap. |
