3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Hard to win with these days but holds claims on his C&D second to a well-handicapped winner a little over a month ago; worth a look back in cheekpieces from a visor. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-9 this year but has run well on two of his last three starts, posting a very close third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) and finishing second at Southwell (6f, AW) most recently; her last win came on good to soft; chance. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (off 2lb lower) on stable/seasonal debut but has regressed since; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
10/1 |

8th 1 (7) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed when making winning stable debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) in April but hasn't repeated the form in two runs since, favourite each time; just as effective at 6f but needs to get back on track. |

Tumbling down the weights and one to be interested in when the stable emerges from the doldrums. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his Sandown win (5f, good) last July but has mixed record since and he's been well held in three runs this year; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
This is his first outing since last December but he's gone well fresh in the past and ran some good races in the second half of last year; his C&D form figures read 12772 and he can be in the shake-up if fully tuned up. |
10/1 |
|
5 (9) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't had many chances on AW but he looked good over C&D last spring and he picked up smartly to beat eight rivals at Chelmsford last month; this is a higher grade but a 4lb rise is fair enough and he still has a bit of potential. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Southwell Tapeta winner who is now 1lb lower than when successful at Haydock (5f, good) last summer, but probably needs a bit more than in his recent efforts now switched to Polytrack; stable triple-handed. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Showed a good strike-rate during his spells with James Owen; effective on AW but holds weak claims on his two turf efforts for current yard. |
33/1 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Returned from spell in UAE with two wins (6f/5f) for James Owen in spring but was sold in July then well beaten (albeit in a competitive race) for new stable at York (5.3f, good) last month; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces here; has a point to prove. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner who is back to the mark he was successful from at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; fair fourth over C&D 19 days ago; sports first-time cheekpieces on this 107th start and he warrants consideration. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped and although he is now 0-19 for this yard, he has run several good races in defeat; latest Wolverhampton second was one of them and he is more appealing than many. |
100/30 |

2nd 5 (3) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Some good runs during his losing streak and did well to finish second at Bath in the penultimate one after starting slowly; his sixth of 17 back there was in a competitive race. |
8/1 |

6th 12 (17) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

On a losing run and last two defeats were in races won by Legendsoftheland and Geemann; however, did well to finish second last time after a slow start and not without hope. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained all three wins over 5.7f here, the latest when holding on well last month; should cope with combination of 3lb rise and slight drop back in trip today; contender if able to seize good early position from stall 9. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Often front runs; both wins have been here, the latest in April when 2lb higher; returns to a more suitable level after running in Class 4s. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 with a Bath win and began this campaign with another win at that track; well held at the Glorious meeting here 30 days ago and she is unlikely to enjoy a soft lead here. |

Just 1-19 but 2lb below his winning mark and drops into Class 6 company for the first time; worth a second look especially if attracting support; blinkers removed after one use. |
9/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just the one win to his name from 18 attempts but it came off this mark; poor run at Epsom two weeks ago but that was 6f and today's trip should be more suitable; the addition of blinkers could give him the necessary lift. |
10/1 |
