9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gained the second leg of August double (6f) at Chelmsford; went too freely last time; drops to 5f in another change of headgear. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has switched between cheekpieces and a visor on last few starts, running well each time; visor back on today; won two nurseries in a row last month (6f, good to firm/AW) and third at Haydock (7f, good) last time when fading close home; unraced on slow ground; firmly in calculations now back at 6f. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Took a while to find his feet but has taken off lately, making the breakthrough in a Catterick nursery (good to firm) in first-time blinkers last month before following up under a penalty in a similar event at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) in a first-time visor; penalised again but he's 2lb well in, promises to stay 7f, and is respected back in cheekpieces. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Stepped up on the form of any of this three wins as a 2yo (for Karl Burke) when second over 1m here in May; had three-next-time-out winners behind him on that occasion but he hasn't reproduced that level in four subsequent outings; all 13 turf starts have come on good/good to firm; needs a return to Haydock to spark a revival. |
16/1 |

12th 14 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Three-time winner for Karl Burke (5f/7f); ran well at Haydock (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but he was below that level on his next two starts, and was safely held when third of four at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month. |
25/1 |

3rd 3 (2) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored three times (5f/7f) last term for previous yard; inconsistent over 1m this season and failed to beat a rival last time but best form gives him a fighting chance off current mark; continues to steadily rise in distance and now has a crack at 1m2f. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Runner-up twice in a row in June (7f/1m, soft/good to firm; including here) before winning at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July; down the field at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago when pulling hard but it's possible today's first attempt at 6f will be a good move. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
7f AW win as a 2yo; on the up in handicaps this summer, keeping on well to beat five rivals at Sandown (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; 4lb higher in a stronger race but Oisin Murphy takes over for the first time and he has a good record for the stable. |
11/2 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Only 1-10 but pushed a Prescott improver close last time at Salisbury (1m) and dropping back to 7f looks beneficial; respected. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
AW winner (1m) last September; his form dipped at York 40 days ago but he had been in good form earlier in the year; each-way shout. |
6/1 |
|
9th 1 (8) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Southwell handicap (1m, AW) last September and he's held his form with five creditable efforts since; ridden more prominently than previously when going down only narrowly at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) under Cieren Fallon a fortnight ago; should remain competitive after a 2lb nudge. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Nearly made the frame in 3yo handicap over C&D last time; scored twice (off current mark and 3lb higher) on Lingfield AW early this year; good chance if back to that form. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two course wins earlier in the year; running okay with quite being at his best this summer; on a competitive mark and he can't be discounted. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gave good account when fourth over 7f on Tapeta a fortnight ago and is now 1lb lower than for 5f Polytrack win in March; 6f on fast turf should also suit; no surprise if he features. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Proved markedly resurgent with 28-1 win at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last time, ending a poor spell; still well treated on best 2yo figures; respected assuming he remains in form. |

1st 4 (10) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Huge chance on last summer's best, as he's 7lb lower than for his Thirsk success last July; yet to shine this season but drops in grade and needs a close market check. |
33/1 |
|
9th 9 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended last season with a couple of poor efforts and has picked up where he left off; soft ground was likely behind his last effort six weeks ago but he's hard to recommend even then. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
A fair 1m juvenile maiden but he came in last of seven after three months off in 7f handicap here 23 days ago; in good hands but much more is needed. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unable to make a significant impact in three handicaps last year; dips into a 0-60 for the first time back from three months off but others are more obvious. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well beaten when upped to 1m on nursery/AW debut but kept on nicely when close sixth of eight at Haydock (7f, good) last time and is worth another go at this trip; has shown promise on good to soft; chance. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Ran respectably on fast ground last time when bidding for a 7f Yarmouth double (maiden previously); may have more to offer at this level, especially when the ground is slow; gained his win on soft. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning on soft ground over this C&D three weeks ago (third start since being gelded); back up 3lb and likely has quicker ground to handle today. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden; shaped a bit better than the bare result, while seeming outstayed over 1m, at Haydock (good to soft) most recently; could go well off a reduced mark back down in trip. |
10/1 |
