19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Unexposed over hurdles after only five runs but was beaten about 23l when seventh of 12 here (2m, good) on last month's handicap debut and is effectively 4lb higher today. |
33/1 |

7th 11 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Lowly rated Flat maiden who has not shown any significant promise over hurdles after four attempts; has more realistic chance to get competitive on this handicap debut but still makes only limited appeal; 1lb wrong. |
25/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden who was beaten a head when 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) last month; third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) next time but he was below his best at Nottingham (8.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) eight days ago; steps back up trip with headgear removed for his AW debut. |
7/2 |

2 (7) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who was turned over at 2-7 in a novice at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) two starts ago, when beaten into second; however, he's since been third of six in a handicap at Salisbury (1m2f, good) and that form gives him leading claims; it's possible first-time cheekpieces will be a plus. |
7/2 |
|
5 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo with some good efforts in novice and maiden events (1m and 1m2f), just run out of a Bath event (good to soft) 19 days ago; probably needs a bit more off this mark now handicapping but that's possible. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
11-race maiden; raced too freely in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) and flopped badly when warm favourite at Chester two months ago but the form of his close fourth at Newbury (1m2f, good) in April worked out well and he'll be dangerous here if all goes to plan after his short break. |
7/2 |
|
9th 14 (4) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up over about 1m2f on four of eight starts last year, including in two handicaps and one was at this track; disappointing when 4-7 in a novice event on reappearance but back-to-form fourth of 14 in 1m2f handicap at Newbury on latest start; place claims again and cheekpieces are added. |
9/2 |
|
4th 9 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up over about 1m2f on four of eight starts last year, including in two handicaps; close third on reappearance at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in early March but that was when 4-7 in a novice event and that disappointment heightens the concern over his lingering maiden status. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won last September on first two starts for yard; disappointing favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on return but second of 13 over C&D (Bulletin fourth) five weeks ago was his best form yet; up 3lb but this race looks less competitive. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won first two starts for this yard (1m2f/1m4f) last September; had a tough first handicap assignment and he may have found it all a bit much; sent off favourite for return at Newmarket 12 days ago and was bang there over 2f out before weakening (finished behind Ernst Blofeld); dropped 3lb and reunited with Rossa Ryan; looks set to leave that run behind. |
9/1 |
|
7th 1 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Promising third on last May's debut for Andrew Oliver then won first two starts for this yard, novices at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy) and Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in September; slightly underwhelmed with midfield finish in November handicap (1m4f, heavy) next time but retains bundles of potential ahead of this reappearance. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best efforts from his five handicaps were on last two starts when third at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) and beaten a head at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm); back up 2lb but his first win should not be far away. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Hasn't had a lot of racing and probably his best effort yet in handicaps when a 4l third at Goodwood a month ago (1m1f, good to soft); he still doesn't look on that generous a mark. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Beaten between 6.5l and 11l in his three handicaps (1m2f-1m4f) and has only dropped 5lb; doesn't look a winner waiting to happen. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded before landing a handicap here over 1m5f in November; good places at Lingfield in two of his three starts since, bouncing back to be beaten a head over this trip in first-time cheekpieces 22 days ago; now 2lb higher but he should have more to offer over this far. |
7/4 |

9th 7 (4) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well held at big prices in three novice events (1m2f/1m4f) but he shaped like a stayer when third of five at Epsom last month and is a possible improver now upped to 1m6f on handicap debut; needs watching in the market. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can win a race and the ground was soft when beaten a shade under 4l in a 1m handicap at Chepstow most recently (first-time tongue-tie); thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden but has shown he can find a race; best effort was when beaten a nose at Kempton (1m, AW) in January and if can replicate that form on turf then he comes into the equation; has left Pat Phelan since his last run in March; sports a first-time tongue-tie and has to be of interest for new yard. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden but he finished well to go very close over C&D (11-2) in January; only 1lb higher after a short break and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made virtually all to get off the mark in a Kempton novice (7f) in February; made an encouraging handicap debut when beaten less than 2l at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; she should not be far away if that runs brings her on. |
13/8 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Lightly raced filly; runner-up at Kempton (1m) in February before making all in a 7f novice back there two weeks later; bred to stay this longer trip well and her best days could still be ahead of her. |
5/1 |
