27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) ten days ago; put back up 8lb and has gained all six wins on going softer than good. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Thrown in on last season's best form and there were glimmers of a revival at Epsom on Derby Day (6f, soft); drops in class and looks likely to pop up soon but drying ground won't play to his strengths now back to 5f. |

1st 6 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Chelmsford winner off 5lb higher this time last year; boasts a fair record overall at this trip on the AW and a return to form wouldn't surprise; may well be dropped in and ridden for luck from stall 9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (12) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Without a win since August 2024 but well treated on last year's best efforts and he shaped when seventh of 14 over C&D three weeks ago as though he'd be sharper for that comeback run; seems to like it here; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
7th 12 (9) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
A losing sequence is mounting but he has a win and a third from just two attempts over C&D, and the latter was first time out last season; 7lb lower here and he's of obvious interest if cherry ripe after 161 days off (has had wind surgery); one of two very plausible candidates for the Barrons. |
11/2 |
|
11 (5) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Close second in this race 12 months ago (Oisin Murphy on board) when rated 4lb higher; knocking at the door this season and the addition of cheekpieces could give him a lift; shortlisted. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soon off the mark for this yard at Chelmsford (AW) in December and it was a fine return when quickly out of the stalls and finishing third of 18 at Ascot (again 6f, good to firm); respected off the same mark despite his unfavourable draw; goes on all ground. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 16 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Chelmsford in December; 2lb higher mark and stronger opposition might find him out back from five months off. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |
6/1 |
|
5th 13 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |

Absent since winning in first-time blinkers (retained) over C&D three months ago on second start for new yard and on AW; unexposed in this sphere and still has leeway in the handicap (peak mark was 16lb higher). |
7/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

In and out for George Scott this season but not disgraced over 7f at Chelmsford (AW debut) three weeks ago; can compete off a career-low mark so would have real possibilities if revitalised by a change of stable. |

8st 13lb |
Won at Hamilton (6f, good) last month on second start back from a break and the neck runner-up went one better there next time; he's used to plying to his trade in a lower grade but is not discounted up just 2lb. |
15/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Carlisle winner on debut in June 2023 (5f, good to firm); gained another win at Wolverhampton in January (5f) and fair run back on turf when fourth at Pontefract last time (6f); a possible, but perhaps better at shorter. |
15/2 |

9st 8lb |
Two wins for Kevin Ryan and latest was at York (5f, soft) last October, but he has form figures of 60859 for new yard this season; now 6lb lower than for his last win but he needs a transformation back up in trip; headgear removed. |
20/1 |
|
6 (5) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Had some solid 2yo form for Kevin Ryan and hinted at a revival at Yarmouth on his penultimate start; dropped away tamely under suitable conditions at Sandown on Saturday though and headgear is now reached for; AW debut. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Recent rain is a tonic with his 2yo wins having come on good to soft and soft; slow start for this stable and he was again well beaten in a Racing League event at Yarmouth five weeks ago when encountering soft ground again; he was poorly drawn there though and did best of the three who stayed near side; has a dangerous mark and stable is going well. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple sprint winner who coped well with the rise in grade (Class 2) at Windsor on Monday and gets in here off a 3lb lower mark; that was from off the pace but can race prominently (drawn in 1); good chance. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Multiple wins at sprint trips; they were all in lower grades than today but he's not badly treated, even from 3lb wrong, and the slower the ground the better his chance against some who prefer good ground. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark. |

9st 6lb |
Was having his first start after a second wind operation when down the field at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; 2lb lower then when just missing out at Chester (5f, soft) in June and each-way claims if reproducing that sort of form. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Lost his way and is now 10lb lower than when narrowly beaten over C&D early in the year; needs a revival but hasn't had conditions to suit on turf lately and ought to fare much better. |

10th 5 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Speedy sort but his last two wins have been at 6f (AW); acts on good to soft and encouraging his best turf effort came on his sole start here (5f) back in 2024; last two efforts haven't been his best, however, and the draw hasn't been kind either. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade. |

Close second at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June and went one better there (5f, good) 11 days later; effective over 6f in the past; however, down the field on his last two outings and needs to get back on track. |
