16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
He hasn't looked ahead of his mark in four handicap runs this year but eased 2lb since latest and now tried in blinkers; tongue-tie left off today. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Highly tried last season and then underwent wind surgery; hasn't been far away in 7f/6f handicaps the last twice and it was a competitive affair last time at Leicester; has a chance. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Highly tried after his winning 2yo debut; had wind surgery prior to his return last month and he has shaped okay in both starts this summer, latterly a close fourth over 7f here 18 days ago; returning to 6f will suit but a step forward is required. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Generally performed with great credit last season, including a 6f Hamilton win in May off the same mark as today; never involved in either start this year but his stable's good recent form provides some hope. |
14/1 |

13th 1 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally performed with great credit last season, winning a 6f handicap at Hamilton last May off 2lb lower and ending his campaign with a second of nine at Newmarket; never in contention at Beverley on his return to action 16 days ago (7.4f, good to firm) and likely best watched for a yard having a quiet year. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Campaigned mostly over sprint trips and gained his Beverley win at 5f (also effective at 6f); close second at Newmarket when last seen but doesn't appear to be crying out for this step back up in distance. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Beaten a length in both his handicaps; didn't get any luck in the first over this far and was dropped back to 7f last time; returns to 1m with blinkers added and he's of interest. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Brother to some useful/smart winners including Juliet Capulet (7f 2yo including Group 2; RPR 110); has had only four runs and he won a Catterick maiden (7f, good) in May and didn't get any luck when a close fifth on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last Monday; travelled strongly for a long way in that race and he's a big player back in trip. |
11/4 |

5th 4 (1) |
14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Brother to some useful/smart winners over about 6f; his own three races have been at 7f, including a Catterick win and he travelled well for a long way when running respectably at Doncaster (again on good) last time; not crying out for 1m on that latest evidence but it's highly likely he will prove better than this opening mark at some point soon, so he needs respect. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Second to one who went on to complete a hat-trick next time before being demoted to second after dead-heating over C&D; beaten a little over a length, but managed only fifth, in muddling contest just four days later; this test should suit better. |
9/2 |

5th 4 (1) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 but he was was demoted to second after forcing a dead-heat in 1m handicap at Kempton on Monday (bumped rival close home); 2lb well in off the same mark here and he chased home a subsequent winner at this track (8.6f) on his penultimate run; big player. |

2nd 1 (8) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 in handicaps since joining this yard, but a much better effort when chasing home a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; a player from the same mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Early-season 5f win as a 2yo when trained by David Evans; unplaced in two handicap runs last summer; still has low mileage and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market prior to this stable debut (same owners). |
25/1 |
|
8th 3 (8) |
14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Said to have hung left round Kempton on his return from a year off in the spring and, while last of six, offered more latest without seeing out a stiff 7f; lightly raced and no surprise to see him take another step forward. |
7/1 |
|
6 (8) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Nottingham (5f, soft) last April on his second start but he returned after a year off with a heavy defeat at Kempton (6f, AW) this spring; now goes handicapping but has bit to prove after another break and others are preferred. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Got up on the line in apprentice race at Chepstow (soft) on Tuesday to complete a 7f double; back up in grade but escapes a penalty; fighting chance off the same mark. |
7/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo who got off the mark in a blanket finish at Leicester (7f, good) in July; 1lb higher and may have more improvement in him with that win under his belt. |
