3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps for Denis Quinn since last June reads 5112151113, including two wins over C&D; ran right up to his best when third of 11 in an even stronger contest here five weeks ago; major player on first start for John Ryan (same owner) while Jack Dace is 1-1 on him. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 511215111; finished strongly from the rear to collar Qitaal (who finished third) near the line and shade a blanket finish over C&D last time; has to enter calculations again off only 2lb higher. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 51121511 including an emphatic win over C&D; off since winning by a nose at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in December and now 8lb higher, but still hard to leave him out of calculations. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |
|
1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-race maiden; bogged down on heavy ground at Ffos Las (1m2f) the last twice but it's still relatively early days with Faye Bramley and the booking of Jason Watson represents a plus. |
8/1 |
|
10 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
0-12 under all codes but didn't run badly when back on the Flat for recent stable debut, finishing fourth in heavy-ground C&D contest dominated by Zambezi Magic; sports first-time cheekpieces today and could plausibly be seen to better effort on the less testing ground. |
20/1 |
|
5 (5) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Little to get excited about in 11 starts under both codes; makes her debut for her third different trainer in a first-time tongue-tie after a year off; hard to recommend. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six-race maiden; best effort when third over C&D in July (sole attempt in AW handicap); return to this scenario is the angle with him. |
13/2 |
|
6 (7) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who finished third of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in July, but didn't back it up at Doncaster (1m, good) later in month; cheekpieces given a go, but something to prove back up in trip. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a classified event at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in June and he's finished placed in two of his three runs since; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if this sets up for the closers. |
4/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just held on to pip Adrian in C&D (good to soft) classified in June and has finished third off today's mark in two subsequent C&D handicaps (both on good); has obvious each-way claims again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Goes well here and took advantage of the drop to 0-50 classified company when winning a weak race over C&D early last month; ran at least as well back into handicap company here four weeks ago to confirm himself still in good form. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained his last four wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (1m-1m2f); handles fast ground but is yet to strike form after three runs this season and might still be too high in the weights. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Loves it here and loves the mud, so this dry spell has done him no favours; probably one for another day. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |

14/1 |
|
4th 13 (11) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |
