23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Free-going sort; easily saw off five rivals on testing ground at Lingfield in June but he has been well held in three runs since; hopes rest on the return to slower ground giving him a lift. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Easily won a small-field soft-ground handicap at Lingfield in June off 6lb lower but well held since then, latterly at Southwell on Monday. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Well backed when winning a 6f handicap at Lingfield (soft) last month; not sure that was the greatest race, however, and he's since finished unplaced at Hamilton, albeit over 5f. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
The addition of blinkers saw him spring a minor surprise at Bath (1m, firm) in April; not at that level on his last three starts, most recently when ninth behind Marsh Benham at Sandown last month. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won on reappearance at Bath (1m, firm) in April in first-time blinkers (retained); some respectable efforts since but needs something extra if he's to return to winning ways today. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Came good in first-time blinkers at Bath (1m, firm) in April, after a break, but managed only third in a small field there (1m2f) in May and was soundly beaten on his latest outing; needs to kick on again. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell (Class 6) in February but less productive in three subsequent appearances (6f-7f), although with mitigating circumstances (saddle slipped) latest. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; place prospects off an easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective at 6f and 7f but his sole win was in a Carlisle novice in August 2024; went close off this mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but was never involved when a remote fourth there last time; that was behind a handicap blot but he needs to step up again after that. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended his abbreviated campaign last season with a win in this race; well held in his first three runs this term but he turned things around with a near-miss at Newbury (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; nudged up 2lb but he remains feasibly treated and is respected back at this track. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 (8) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Enjoyed good spell of form over 6f last summer and the drop back in trip may help, but he hasn't shaped this year as though a win is imminent. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems happier on the AW than turf and is back down to his last winning mark; the eyeshield worn for his consistent string of efforts in the spring is also back, so there are reasons for optimism. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored over C&D in April off 5lb lower and subsequently followed up at Lingfield; not in the same form since and needs to bounce back to his best. |
5/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won early this year on first three runs for James Horton (7f/1m, AW) before good third here (1m, good to firm) and a fifth of seven at Sandown (1m, good); won at Kempton (1m, AW) next time; could give a good account but he's 6-9 on AW as opposed to 0-10 on turf, which tempers enthusiasm. |
20/1 |

1st 1 (14) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hugely progressive for his new stable at the start of the year, winning handicaps at Southwell (7f/1m) before completing his hat-trick at Newcastle (1m); beaten on turf twice since but he is 0-10 in that sphere as opposed to 5-8 on AW; drawn widest but still of some interest. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Form dipped after winning over 6f here (3-1; from 4lb higher) in July 2025; left Martin Dunne for 14,000gns and failed to beat a rival on first start for this trainer at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) over six weeks ago; drops back in trip. |
11/1 |

7th 5 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Dual 6f AW winner for Martin Dunne, latterly at Wolverhampton last July; mostly struggled since and now makes his stable debut/reappearance having been secured for 14,000gns. |

12 (8) |
25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Mainly running with credit over 6f on Polytrack this year, but now 0-14 and hasn't been seen in four months; others preferred. |

5th 12 (2) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Went close over C&D in January but she was disappointing when joint-favourite at Chelmsford the following month; needs to step up again after that and she's now 0-13; first-time visor replaces blinkers. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 |
8th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden who hasn't had many chances in 6f handicaps but should find one on his recent Kempton Polytrack form, going close two starts ago before the front-running winner wasn't for catching on Wednesday (when first-time blinkers added, now retained); major contender. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won over C&D in January and was also on target at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but was always behind at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and is far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
16/1 |

8th 6 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course winner at 1m; a good spell in the New Year included a 7f win on Wolverhampton AW and he was back on song when winning over 6f at Nottingham in June; soft ground perhaps not helpful on next two starts but he has a bit to prove on his first C&D run. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Hit hard for his easy Catterick win (6f, good to firm) in May and he has come up well short twice, including C&D latest; handles any ground but others look better treated. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (1) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) under Tom Kiely-Marshall in May; not in the same form when last of five at Nottingham (6f again) since but he's bagged the inside stall on his first Beverley visit and is capable of bouncing back. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Struggled at big prices in his three qualifying runs but this is more realistic on handicap debut and he's a possible improver on this step up to 1m; needs checking in market. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
