3rd 6 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Bumper and 1m4f AW handicap winner; only three runs on Flat turf, the latest when second of 13 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; not disgraced when Georgia King was on again back on AW latest outing; needs a second look. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
C&D winner in November; got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of 13 in 1m2f Windsor handicap 18 days ago; can go well again back up in trip with the headgear retained. |
6/1 |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Left it late when winning a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton in November; three lesser runs have followed but he is now 2lb lower than for the win; drops in trip with headgear added. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Tailed off in Leicester novice (1m2f) last month but had shown some ability previously (1m/1m2f); goes handicapping off a modest mark in a first-time tongue-tie, and her dam was a 1m4f Listed winner; this lightly raced 4yo is a possible improver; one to watch in the betting. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Fine pedigree but finished a well-beaten last of five on her debut at Kempton (1m) in September; bit better on her reappearance when seventh of nine at Chelmsford (1m2f, also AW; kept on) last month; will probably be seen to best effect when handicapping over further. |

7th 1 (8) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Nice pedigree, but finished a well-beaten last of five on her Kempton debut (1m, Polytrack) last September; bred to appreciate the longer trip and a hood is given a go, but she still has enough to prove against the 3yos. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up twice over hurdles at start of this year (2m/2m4f) and returned from break with Flat win this month (1m4f; RPR 69); seems versatile regarding ground and ought to be a tough nut to crack. |
11/8 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 1m6f Flat winner who has finished runner-up in novice/maiden hurdles (2m/2m4f) in his last two runs; returns after four months off but he's only 1lb higher than for his last win and it would be a positive if the forecast rain arrives; needs a close look back on the Flat. |

1st 2 (2) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D novice (good to firm) for William Haggas last July and was third of 19 in a York handicap (10.3f, good) in his final run last season; well held on stable debut at Lingfield last month but he shaped as though he needed the run and that form has been well advertised by the first two since; dangerous if he can get back near best. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent for William Haggas and he made all to land Leicester novice (1m2f, good to firm) in July; signed off for that yard with creditable third of 19 at York (10.5f, good; not clear run) off this mark in October; secured for 140,000gns a fortnight later and subsequently gelded; a player on stable debut/reappearance. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden for whom the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive; however, he could he sharper in the first-time visor and he was denied a clear run when fourth of 15 at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, when no match for three improving, fellow 3yos; could be a contender. |
10/1 |

4th 10 (10) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 albeit in the frame on ten occasions, as when beaten a head into second of four in a Wolverhampton maiden (9.5f, AW) a fortnight ago; this looks a competitive race in which to attempt to break his duck, though. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Useful form in defeat as a 2yo; comparable efforts in handicap company at Goodwood (1m, good) in May and at Southwell nine days ago; leading form claims but could be vulnerable to something less exposed. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Progressive at ordinary level on the Flat last year, winning at Kempton (2m, AW) in October; however, well beaten on hurdle/stable debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and needs to be a different proposition today. |
66/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Only made his debut in April and ran his best race yet when beaten less than a length into second of nine over C&D last month; just 1lb higher and remains open to further progress as a stayer; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Disappointing start to his handicap career with cheekpieces added when last of seven at Ffos Las (1m4f) five weeks ago; the headgear is quickly discarded now stepping up significantly in trip. |
5/1 |
