15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finally got the job done in Windsor contest (1m, good to firm) last week and did it comfortably, opening his account at the 18th attempt; great chance under a penalty, provided he's in the same form back down in trip; due to go up 4lb in future. |

0-17 but he's a consistent sort and posted a solid fourth of 12 in 1m Wetherby handicap 11 days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |

Won his novice on heavy going last October (5f); placed in three of his four starts this year, most recently behind Emporess over C&D last week; each-way shout again. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

Heavy-ground winner as a 2yo; placed twice (5f/7f, good/good to firm) in the spring and faced a stiffer task in Class 3 since; fresh contender who could go well back down in trip/grade. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive 4yo who made the breakthrough when forging clear at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) and he followed up under a penalty at Leicester 19 days ago; up another 4lb but he's on a roll and is still relatively lightly raced; big player. |
15/8 |

1st 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Confirmed earlier promise when readily getting off the mark in 7f Doncaster handicap a week ago; hiked up 9lb but remains low mileage and merits serious consideration for his in-form stable. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who shaped well on his return from eight months off when third of 11 in 7f AW Lingfield handicap 18 days ago; holds very good claims off an unchanged mark for yard among the winners. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 6f winner (soft/AW) who still has low mileage; ran creditably off current mark at Catterick (good to firm) and Chelmsford the last twice; again has frame possibilities. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (10) |
14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Found an ordinary handicap against her own sex when winning off 4lb lower in May (Tapeta); 7f looked to stretch her on turf last time and she's one to consider for a yard bang in form. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Landed his fourth AW race when scoring narrowly at Kempton (6f) in March; has dipped below that winning mark after three lesser efforts and blinkers go on for his eighth race on turf (0-7). |
7/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has broadly done well on AW since December, winning four times; needs to prove he can transfer the pick of that form back to turf; 0-6 in this sphere and is 5lb higher than last attempt. |

8st 13lb |
Sole win at 7f on turf as 2yo but showed bright early speed back at 5f when losing out late over C&D in March; others might press for the lead here but he's on the same reduced mark; can go well from rail draw. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dropped 15lb in five runs for new trainer since September; looks quick enough to cope with the shorter trip and Ryan Kavanagh takes off a valuable 5lb; better can be expected today. |
14/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Yet to fire for current stable; dropping down the weights but vulnerable in a useful race of its type. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark in a maiden at Leicester in May (6f, good to firm), but her form in handicaps since has been patchy; another 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |
16/1 |
|
10th 14 (14) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Finally won her maiden when scoring at Leicester in May; 0-6 in handicaps since but she went close off this mark at Windsor (also 6f, good to firm) last month and didn't get the breaks at Salisbury last time. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Leicester maiden winner in May (7f, good to firm); similar form when second over Windsor's 6f on her penultimate start (good to firm) but beaten further back there 11 days ago when soft ground was no excuse; seems inconsistent. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (10) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seems ideally suited by testing ground, winning a nursery on heavy last season and running her best race for her new stable when powering home over C&D last week (soft); penalty demands more but she's coming here at the top of her game and that doesn't apply to several of her rivals. |
