11th 7 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner in Germany; has hurtled down the ratings in Britain for good reason but having first run for Mark Loughnane when showing more here 18 days ago (8.6f; 5-1); he faded late on after being up there; could be on the verge of turning a corner. |

9th 4 (1) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won over 1m and 1m1f in Germany, on turf and sand, but it's been a right old slog in Britain; at least he's dropped 22lb since last May and any market move would be interesting on yard debut (left Max Young); tongue-tie refitted. |
11/2 |

8th 8 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Turf/sand winner (1m/1m1f) on the Flat in Germany but he's struggled for current yard and was tailed off at Southwell (1m) when last seen in July; opposable on return. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Exposed six-time winner who has performed moderately in her last two races over 1m; on the plus side, she hasn't had many chances at 7f over which she was a close fourth on her comeback. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Two of her four wins have came at this track, one over today's distance; fourth in both starts this year but may be vulnerable to younger rivals. |
6/1 |
|
4th 8 (12) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained last season's win over 1m2f and made an encouraging reappearance when finishing strongly for close fourth over 7f at Chepstow (good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by this move back up in trip and remains on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

3rd 6 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
8lb better off with Dappled Light for a half-length defeat at Bath (1m, good to firm) in May; won a small-field handicap back at Bath four days later but two runs in Class 5 events since haven't been so good; others appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark on turf at the 20th attempt when accounting for three rivals at Bath (1m, firm) last month; below par when fifth of 13 at Salisbury (1m, good) 13 days ago; win record is offputting. |
9/1 |
|
5th 11 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Placed three consecutive times at Bath before justifying favouritism in four-runner race there (1m, firm) 19 days ago; nudged up only 2lb for that but this race is much deeper; others appeal more. |

5th 5 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has yet to show anything of note over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good) ten days ago; needs this step up in trip and the tongue-tie to spark considerable improvement. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1m2f Flat winner who has been completely tailed off in all three runs over hurdles; at least goes handicapping off a lowly mark and drying ground would help matters, so watch the weather. |

All six wins have been on AW; cheekpieces return but he doesn't convince. |

6th 3 (8) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four course wins, including two over this trip, and he ran his best race for a while when third over C&D four weeks ago; each-way shout. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; made all at Ffos Las (1m1f, good) last month and ran better than her finishing position suggests when sixth at Chester (12.5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; won't mind how the ground is riding; major player back down in trip. |
4/1 |
|
10 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Lightly raced; it was a Class 6 handicap she won at Ffos Las (1m1f, good) and then only fourth in a Class 4 at Southwell; still one to consider, having won a 1m3f handicap with give underfoot. |
8/1 |
|
4th 13 (4) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who made it 2-3 in handicaps when comfortably making all at Ffos Las (1m1f, good) this month on second stable start; won over 11.4f on heavy ground at Windsor last October and she could have untapped potential at this sort of distance; on the shortlist. |
