23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't won the races one of his ability should; 4lb lower than for his winning start for Stuart Williams in January (7f, AW) but that wasn't a springboard to better things; sold for 8,500gns this month; goes without headgear on first run for Tony Carroll; not sure what to expect. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Generally disappointing since returned to turf in May but seemed to respond well to first-time visor when close second off reduced mark at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; big player if in similar form here. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won on the AW over 7f at Chelmsford in January on his stable debut but he's been below his best on turf in recent starts, including when last of six over 1m here last month; visor now applied. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
His first five wins were on AW but he's won twice at Yarmouth this summer including an emphatic success over 1m (good to firm; cheekpieces added) last week; has a penalty but that was a personal best last time and he's strongly respected. |
5/2 |

1st 2 (4) |

Five of his six wins have been on the AW and the other came here over 7f last May (good to soft); well beaten on his last three starts, including at Newmarket last time on his first start for ten months, and is now tried in first-time cheekpieces. |

Ran better when 3l off the winner at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; 0-5 on the AW but sole placing was on this track; respected. |
4/1 |

7th 10 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A two-time scorer (including over C&D) for Michael Appleby last summer; well below par for his present handler this season, however, and he failed to beat a rival in 1m Pontefract handicap last time. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His form can be up and down but he bolted up at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month and ran pretty well behind two 3yos when third at Newbury (1m, good) last time; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last May-July (including C&D) and won by 7l at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) recently; inconsistent and a 6lb rise takes him to a career-high mark, but he has to be respected in view of that latest dominance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three 1m wins (one C&D) on turf last May-July and latest was off just 1lb lower than today; pretty up and down since, a slow-starting favourite when well beaten on latest start but his second at Newbury the time before was a reminder that he's well capable of getting seriously involved. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice at around 1m on turf last year; ended that campaign with two lesser efforts and he hasn't found his best in three runs this year; opposable despite his slipping mark. |
20/1 |
|
13th 4 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Last year's wins were at about 1m and hasn't raced over 7f since his debut; quiet this season after a gelding operation and others appeal more; cheekpieces, in which he has form figures of 100, now return. |
25/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner last August (good ground; cheekpieces first time); three heavy defeats have followed and he comes here with plenty to prove. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Started life in bumpers but won at Lingfield (novice) in January and Leicester (handicap) in April on his first two attempts at 6f; creditable third at Brighton (6f, good to firm) ten days ago and he may build on that, as it came after four months off; could have more to offer. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 over this trip, having started life in bumpers, off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester in the spring; that came after a three-month break, which bodes well back from four months out, but this is tougher over an easier 6f. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
First crack at sprinting when winning a Polytrack maiden three months ago (effort well advertised since); stiffer 6f should suit on his return to turf (stays 1m) but it's doubtful he's suddenly improved and he's back to handicap company on a career-high mark. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Winner of a 6f turf maiden and a 7f handicap as a 2yo for Warren Greatrex in 2024; didn't progress in his 2025 and having been bought for 4,000gns in October ran okay for a long way on yard debut here over a mile last month; drop in trip to suit and place claims. |
10/1 |

9th 9 (13) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Winner of a 6f turf maiden and a 7f handicap off 74 as a 2yo for Warren Greatrex in 2024; didn't progress in his 2025 starts; makes stable debut and probably best watched for the moment. |
22/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Raced on turf; won twice over 6f as a 2yo but has struggled in four handicap starts this summer; remains to be seen whether a switch to AW revives after seven weeks off. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been on AW (7f/1m) but she's struggled since scoring at Chelmsford (1m) last autumn and needs a major revival. |
33/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Dual AW winner (7f/1m), most recently at Chelmsford (first-time cheekpieces) in October but she's mostly struggled since, including at Ascot last time after a five-month break; dropped another 2lb. |
40/1 |
|
15th 12 (15) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning at Chelmsford last October; unplaced all four starts since and now returns from five months off. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his best form, and sole win, is on the AW, but he would come right into this reckoning if able to reproduce a good third of 14 at Newbury last summer when 11lb higher; however, he wasn't in the same form in two subsequent runs there, nor back on the AW last time. |
4/1 |
|
7th 2 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better record on Polytrack than turf and the handicapper's given him every chance, with him now 3lb lower than when not beaten far as favourite over C&D in January; looks set to go well back on the AW. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (11) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a stronger record on AW than on turf but produced best effort in this sphere when third off 7lb higher over C&D last June; good chance if that form is repeated. |
