29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's inconsistent but he was back on song when winning at Beverley (5f, good to firm) this month; he's just 2lb higher today and is a leading player if backing up that latest performance. |
11/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Modest strike-rate since 2022 and his form thus far this term hasn't continued the broad consistency he showed in 2025; no certainty to take advantage of a reduced mark. |
14/1 |

Conditions shouldn't be an excuse and he didn't run badly at Bath (5f, good) three weeks ago after a short break; Tom Marquand a notable booking; each-way shout. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip. |
11/1 |

6th 8 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time C&D winner; returned from break with low-key run in December but kept on for fourth over C&D on both subsequent appearances, and can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D and the latest (last January) was off this mark; creditable fourth against stronger opposition over C&D 19 days ago; solid claims. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Finished first past the post on debut at Navan (extended 5f, soft) in 2023 but demoted for interference; unable to replicate the form in three subsequent sprint maidens but the market should be helpful now back from a layoff on handicap debut for new yard. |

Demoted from first place at Navan (5.5f, soft; hung) last July but well below that level at Tipperary a year ago and absent since; debuts for new trainer with a hood added. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
She's worked her way back into form and last month's second-place finish at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) was followed by a win at Redcar (1m, good); won on soft ground last September; respected up just 3lb for last time. |
11/2 |

1st 10 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Ran well in defeat at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) this month, despite racing too freely (without cover) in the early stages; remains well handicapped and features prominently in calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Only 1lb higher than for her Beverley win (8.5f, soft) last September; running herself back into form, fifth of ten at Ripon last week having fluffed the start; not out of it. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player. |
9/4 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Invigorated by a step up to 7f this winter, winning three times at Newcastle; latest success was smooth and a 4lb rise does not look harsh; leading contender again if proving equally effective at Southwell. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well in a 6f Newmarket maiden on debut 12 months ago but there has been little to celebrate since, including both runs for this yard; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |
33/1 |
|
6 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Early promise in a 6f Newmarket maiden last August but he hasn't approached that form since and failed to beat a rival on handicap/trainer debut at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) in June; needs lots more back at 6f. |
33/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
30th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His standout effort came at Newmarket on his debut last August (6f, good); well held since and sold for 1,600gns last month; looks on a tough mark moving into handicaps. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark with a front-running win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in September, his final start for Richard Fahey; three fair efforts for his new yard but needs to reproduce his best on turf following a five-month break. |
6/1 |
|
3 (1) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when winning a C&D handicap five weeks ago (made all); well berthed to repeat those tactics and a 4lb rise isn't excessive; has left Richard Fahey since last start (same owners). |
5/1 |
|
10 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-10 but has only been beaten around 2l in his last two starts despite finishing out out of the frame; down another 1lb and could play a part. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025; sharper for his reappearance when respectable fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and may come on again; a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins and a second from nine visits to Redcar; looked as though the run would bring him on when in midfield at Thirsk 19 days ago; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f scorer in 2025 but he also didn't prove the easiest to catch right; needs to hit the ground running after 165 days off. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course win for Kevin Ryan came over 6f and his solid placed efforts for new yard have come over 6f and 7f; handicapped to go well but dropping 5f is a slight concern. |
12/1 |
|
8 (3) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
6f win here on final start for Kevin Ryan; two good efforts to kick off life with his new stable last month (both 6f, good to firm) but he failed to fire at Catterick 17 days ago (reportedly unsuited by the track); feasible mark but does have to prove he needs this far. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (9) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won AW nursery for Kevin Ryan last October; gelded before his stable debut, he ran a fine race to finish second of ten at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last month and boosted that form when finishing third back there (6f, good to firm) six days later; steps back up in trip and holds claims. |

|
13 (14) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
5f win at Beverley 12 months ago; best effort in 2025 when third of 11 at Southwell three weeks ago (6f, AW); has the rail draw but not sure to be in the same form this time. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 10 (10) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at Beverley (5f, good) last September but he's yet to be in the first three in nine starts this year; cheekpieces back on; best watched. |
