15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not solid on his AW form for current yard and he has regressive results on turf, so chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded since last run) and addition of tongue-tie. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not been with Faye Bramley long and there were signs of a revival when third, albeit beaten 4l, at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December; failed to build on that when down the field at Lingfield in January but still dangerous to discount dipping into a 0-65 for the first time. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins were on AW last summer when trained by Hugo Palmer; decent second at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month but below that level at Carlisle and Ripon since; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual AW winner for previous yard; far from solid on his form for current stable, clear best effort when 80-1 second at Wetherby on penultimate start; 0-7 in this sphere. |
16/1 |

9th 9 (7) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two AW wins for Hugo Palmer last season (1m, 8.5f); finished last on first two starts for new yard but a switch to blinkers prompted shock return to form when 80-1 and second of seven at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last Monday; interesting to see if the aids work a second time. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Blinkers did the trick when winning a Tapeta handicap for Roger Varian last autumn and he made it 2-2 in headgear off 3lb lower over C&D (good to soft; cheekpieces) early in the month; been taken out on account of good to firm going before; player otherwise. |
9/4 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off for Roger Varian with a victory at Newcastle (1m AW) in first-time blinkers; shaped okay on yard debut when in no headgear at Kempton (1m) and could be a factor now tried in cheekpieces. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Ended his time with Roger Varian with success at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta; first-time blinkers, now removed) in October; changed hands for 22,000gns soon afterwards; market useful on stable debut after 195 days off. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Seen more often on the AW (3-21) than on turf (1-7); back off his last winning mark, but needs to improve on his last couple of efforts. |
13/2 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in February; wasn't far off that level in next three runs but his form slumped at Lingfield three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for last success but he needs to bounce back on this return to turf. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored off 2lb lower over C&D in February and has remained in good form, most recently when fourth of 15 on turf (8.3f, good) three weeks ago; ought to be on the premises again. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who has mainly run well since the autumn, including a win at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January and a good third of ten on last month's Beverley return (7f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won over middle distances, including on turf, but seems to need shorter nowadays and made all over 1m at Southwell (AW) when last seen; could make a bold bid on this track provided he again goes from the front; stable going very well (3-5 with big LSP) this month; respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 (9) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins over further last summer; has run some good races over 1m at Kempton since September but he is edging up the weights and needs another step forward to win. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made it sixth-time lucky over C&D in July and appreciated the return to the AW when fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month with three of these behind (winner has gone in again since); leading player. |
3/1 |
|
6 (9) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Posted an improved effort when winning at Kempton (1m, AW) in July but he wasn't in the same form at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month following a 6lb rise; return to AW may help. |
9/1 |
|
3 (6) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed improved form when a well-backed winner from 13 rivals at Kempton (1m, AW) four weeks ago; had nearly 2l to spare and a 6lb rise may not stop him if the return to turf isn't an issue. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
His first two runs were promising and he quickly put a poor run at Ffos Las behind him (gelded after) when making a successful handicap debut over C&D four weeks ago; up 6lb but should still have his best days ahead of him. |
6/1 |
|
7 (2) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well in April when fourth on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) and third of 14 at Ayr (1m, good) but he was beaten 26l at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) 66 days ago; gelded since and drops back to 1m on his handicap debut; check the market. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Showed fair form when keeping on and making the frame on both starts in April (7f, AW/1m, good); will be right in the thick of things here if this new trip unlocks any improvement. |

2 (5) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won by a short head over 1m here in May but he's made no further progress since; needs the return to this track to spark him back up on this drop back to 7f. |

|
6 (1) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A repeat of the form which netted him a C&D second last month (good to firm) off today's mark would take him close; hard to blame his Doncaster flop since on the return to a 1m trip he has won over before. |
8/1 |
|
11th 15 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Back in better form over 7f at Doncaster and Leicester the last twice; still attractively treated, having gained sole handicap win off 12lb higher (over 1m); respected. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His form has deteriorated since his last win last May but he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; has another career-low mark today and is not ruled out. |

Third at Newbury (1m, good) on latest turf start in May and also ran well when filling same position at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 12 days ago but wide draw makes things awkward here. |

3rd 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

C&D win in March off 3lb lower and she ran a better race when third of 12 in a Class 5 over C&D 18 days later; up and down since but she can't be discounted. |

5th 3 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins over 7f, the second here in March; good third to a subsequent winner at Newbury (1m, good) last time but not sure this step up in trip will suit as she can pull hard. |

Emphatic scorer over 1m here in July; good second back here (1m again) next time but not in the same form twice since and remains 9lb above July's winning mark. |
11/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Certainly didn't miss the hood when emphatically doubling her tally at Southwell in July (1m); those conditions when chasing home stablemate then done no favours by a wide draw; others appeal more from a handicapping perspective. |
9/1 |
|
11 (10) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Doubled her tally at this track when winning in good style over C&D in July before another good effort when second of 13 here ten days ago; now steps up in grade but she can't be discounted. |
