28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
This course scorer might have needed his recent reappearance and is well treated if bouncing back to his best, having returned to the mark he defied at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) last August; also went close over C&D last summer; cheekpieces off, visor back on; yard hasn't been as prolific as usual in the last couple of weeks but that's likely to change before long. |

Wore cheekpieces when just holding on in six-runner July course handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in August; visored when he stopped quickly on good to soft at Nottingham in October and not seen since a hurdles debut the following month; cheekpieces back on for this return. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-race maiden but she had a near-miss with cheekpieces added in a Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; showed a good attitude with that rallying effort and she's a big player off unchanged mark. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never made her debut until April when second at Yarmouth (1m2f, good), which remains her best piece of form; found nothing for pressure on handicap debut (1m2f) but didn't appear unfancied at 7-2 and could be given another chance in new cheekpieces. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 10lb |
Won five times in Britain, latest in August; shaped well a couple of times on the AW for this stable but didn't beat a rival home the last twice on turf, slowly away both times; down 3lb. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Won five times when trained in Britain by Philip McBride; all those wins came on ground with good in the description; slowly away and always behind at the Curragh on latest; new headgear. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

Won five when trained in Britain by Philip McBride; all those wins came on ground with good in the description so conditions have to be a concern here (0-5 on soft); tongue tie goes on. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |
12/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |
7/2 |

6th 6 (8) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Had a good spell in late 2025, winning three Tapeta handicaps at around this trip; good second to a well-handicapped opponent at Southwell last week; one to take seriously. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; ran creditably sole start here (2024); latest of his two wins came when dropped into Class 6 at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May, before a Class 4 at Yarmouth saw a lesser effort; should be competitive in this race. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped into Class 6 company at Bath (1m2f, firm) last month and proved far too strong for eight rivals; a 7lb rise against better opposition asks more of him but he's still one to consider. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (6) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5lb lower than for last April's Yarmouth win (1m2f, good); solid fourth at Windsor two weeks ago and now drops in class; high on the list. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; latest win was under Mason Paetel here (1m2f) early last July for Ed Dunlop; 4lb lower today but that's after he went off the boil and there's been only a partial revival for new yard this year, finishing sixth of nine here last time in the race he won last year; the last time he raced over a trip this short was May 2025. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time winner who made all under Mason Paetel in this race (was 2lb higher) last year for Ed Dunlop; very respectable third on stable debut at Lingfield in May and soft ground may have blunted his finishing effort last time; interesting. |
13/2 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Front-runner who gave good account when placed behind King's Hand over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; that run came after a layoff and he remains on a good mark; handles good to soft (unraced on anything slower); no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |
