9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
His two wins for Ross Burdon have come at a lower level; disappointed at Kempton when last seen and although he is relatively unexposed at 6f, he will need a clear personal best to take this after 108 days off. |
12/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had excuses when well held over a mile here in October but otherwise on the up for his new stable, winning 6f handicaps at Chepstow and Chelmsford; that latest success was a decisive one and he looks a strong contender despite his 5lb penalty. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Below her best at Brighton last time but had been in a good run of form, as with many from this yard; might just be vulnerable to stronger stays over this stiff 1m. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July and she's held her form since, including when runner-up over 1m at Salisbury (good to soft) last time; should go well again back in trip and she won't mind what the weather does; blinkers back on. |
7/2 |
|
8 (3) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Hard to knock her last four races and prominent throughout when narrowly beaten at Chepstow on Monday; however, that was over 6f and, although she stays 7f, the vast majority of her runs have been over sprint trips and she last raced over 1m in 2021 (finished ninth). |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Infrequent winner these days but always prominent when holding on at Chepstow (6f, good) four days ago; this looks tougher under a 4lb penalty (Alexandra Egan rides again). |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win in the last five years but it came over C&D; back to form when second to Too Much Trevor over C&D nine days ago, doing comfortably best of the stands' side group, and 2lb better off today; good chance of turning the tables. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nowhere near as good as he was and last win was in June 2023; on much reduced mark and has run some decent races this year but he didn't get very far here (unseated at start) last time and all of his wins have been at 6f; down the list. |
15/2 |

1 (6) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nowhere near as good as he was and although not disgraced on a few occasions on turf/Polytrack this year, more is needed in order to win despite dropping into a 0-55 for the first time; visor returns. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since winning a Group 3 on the AW as a 2yo; not disgraced on a few occasions on turf/Polytrack (with and without headgear) this year, but a bit more is needed in order to win. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Not offered a great deal in two handicap runs for new stable, the latest over C&D last week; down in the weights but not a solid option. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His standout effort last year came over 6f on soft ground; low-key stable debut at Chepstow in August and although he has low mileage, he comes here with a bit to prove. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Best effort came when third at Lingfield (6f, soft) last July on his second start; tailed off on his first start for 332 days in Jersey (1m1f, firm) in June; drops back to 6f having been gelded ahead of his stable debut (left Martin Dunne); watch the market. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained sole win over 6f on turf; AW record isn't particularly convincing; enough to prove back up in distance on second start for new stable; visor added. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (1) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-11 for Michael Bell, the win coming over this trip on turf last summer off 5lb lower; below that level on final two runs for that yard and sold on for 3,000gns in December; will do well to win this off current mark after a layoff. |
14/1 |
|
9th 9 (6) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Had an excuse at Chepstow (6f, good) last time (missed the break), but remains 6lb higher than for her Windsor success (6f, good) in July and still has to prove her stamina for this far now back on the AW. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Blinkered when fourth on debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) when trained by Ollie Sangster; beaten 47l and 14l since in two starts on turf since joining this yard; drops to 6f for his handicap debut; best watched. |
33/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wore blinkers and showed some ability at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on sole start for Ollie Sangster in April; sold for 2,500gns subsequently and was nearly 50l adrift at Newbury (7f, good; 150-1) on his stable debut in May; vet had plenty to report afterwards and this gelding is best watched for now. |
50/1 |
|
6 (11) |
16th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wore blinkers and recorded only a modest RPR, nonetheless showing some ability, at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in sole start for Ollie Sangster; sold for 2,500gns since; others preferred. |
