2nd 4 (7) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Dual novice winner (7f/1m) who confirmed herself progressive when strong in the finish to make a successful handicap debut at Ascot (7f, soft); a 4lb rise is fair and difficult to know the ceiling of her ability. |
11/4 |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Registered good-ground wins at Doncaster (7f) and Haydock (1m) in last two novice starts; may well handle softer conditions, being by Mayson; respected with further progress plausible. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame in all four starts on the AW, but yet to win after 12 attempts; returns from 191 days off having undergone wind surgery and he may be best watched despite having run well fresh in the past. |
10/1 |
|
9 (15) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-11 but runner-up in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ascot (7f, soft) last month and did well to finish sixth of 17 there (7f, good to soft) last time having been slowly away; wears first-time blinkers and could have a big part to play. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Some fair turf form for Brian Meehan, but despite plummeting in the weights has shown little in three AW starts for this yard, failing to beat a rival over 7f here in January; cheekpieces given a go, but some way down the stable's pecking order. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to fire for his new yard but he met some traffic issues when last of eight in 7f Southwell handicap 20 days ago; he was a fair 7f winner at his best for Brian Meehan so possibilities on his first go on Polytrack. |
16/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ascot novice winner for Brian Meehan but became hard to predict for that yard and sold on for 30,000gns; made a quiet debut for this trainer at Wolverhampton a month ago when a market drifter. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins over shorter as a 3yo; improved when second at Kempton on his seasonal return last month (1m) and when third at Nottingham 17 days ago he found himself poorly positioned; well worth another crack at this trip and he should make a bold bid. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Turf (1m, good) and AW winner (7f) in 2025; ended last season with a placed effort at Lingfield and he reappeared with a good second at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |
|
11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance. |
10/1 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly on turf and over 7f, winning twice (as a 2yo); latest effort was better than reappearance and suggested this return to 1m is worth exploring; could go well, provided he's as effective back on AW. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing sequence and he failed to beat a rival on his return in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f) 15 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to break his duck at the ninth attempt at Newbury (7f, good) in August, but didn't back it up at Ascot (7f, soft) last month; half-brother to two AW winners, but more will be needed in order to defy this mark. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (1) |
5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Fresh contender, having raced only twice this term for new yard, and made all at Newbury (7f, good) last time to open his account; may build on that win and improve further. |
6/1 |
|
3 (5) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Eight-race maiden but he had a couple of close calls at Newmarket last season and wasn't beaten far on his stable debut there (7f; first-time blinkers) two weeks ago; has claims if he can build on that and he seems versatile ground-wise. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 1-12 but his win came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March and he's held his form with three creditable efforts since; still looks on a workable mark and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf. |
7/2 |
|
4th 13 (11) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 1-11 but his win came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March and he was a close third at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last time; 3lb higher here but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims back in trip; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when comfortably seeing off 11 rivals in a 7f handicap at Southwell (AW) last month; solid fourth at Musselburgh since and he shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to 1m; arrives in better form than many; cheekpieces given another go; major player. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win as a 2yo; first success since when dead-heating in a 1m handicap here 23 days ago (subsequently awarded first place outright); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Just 1lb higher than when making a successful nursery debut here (7f) in September 2024, but has been out of form for a while and has still to convince over this far. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won a modest 8.6f seller at Wolverhampton last September; not so good since and he'll need to be at his best to take this; is at least unexposed at the trip. |

5th 6 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ended his 2025 campaign in sellers, winning once and finishing third twice; well treated on best form but isn't sure to reproduce it and record of 0-8 in handicaps adds doubt. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still to add to his debut success (for Karl Burke) but he went desperately close at Chelmsford last month, running on well at the finish; handicap mark left unchanged and he needs serious consideration. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Started handicap life for Karl Burke last summer on an unrealistic mark and struggled prior to being picked up for just 2,000gns in the autumn; finding his level now for his current yard and it wouldn't shock were he to pop up here, dropped another 3lb. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on debut at Newcastle last February but he became disappointing for Karl Burke; hasn't been with current yard for long but he was beaten 9l at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month and is now 1-9; passed over. |

Got up on the line in apprentice race at Chepstow (soft) on Tuesday to complete a 7f double; back up in grade but escapes a penalty; fighting chance off the same mark. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Progressive 3yo who got off the mark in a blanket finish at Leicester (7f, good) in July; 1lb higher and may have more improvement in him with that win under his belt. |
