12th 7 (6) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |
9/2 |

6th 3 (7) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins in the first half of 2025 and latest was off 1lb higher over C&D; returned after wind surgery with a promising effort in a Class 4 here (7f, good to firm) last month and he looks interesting on this drop back in grade. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; today's return to sprinting is in his favour but he's likely to be vulnerable at this level. |
40/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

Raced exclusively at shorter, gaining most wins over 6f; looks likely to be outstayed and outclassed upped in trip/grade. |

8th 4 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kept trying when third at Doncaster last time (6f) but was beaten over 3l and he's not looked well handicapped since scoring by 6l in April; he's also only 1-16 over 7f. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won maiden and novice events at Lingfield (turf) as a 2yo; 0-9 in handicaps but placed on her last five starts, the last two in competitive Racing League events; cheekpieces are now given a go; high on the list. |
7/2 |
|
7 (9) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner who has been threatening a breakthrough in handicaps and got a bit far back last time at Wolverhampton (8.6f); bang there on turf in her two previous races and she enters the reckoning. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still seeking her first handicap success but she's run well to be placed in her last three starts; drawn widest and she'll need a bit more to win but the extended mile could suit. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement. |
5/1 |
|
12th 8 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
May remain competitive provided his recent Southwell AW form is transferred back to turf; however, his record in this sphere, which includes a seller win, is less convincing; presents a dilemma. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came in June last year for George Boughey when 3lb lower; should be better for first run in nine months when seventh of nine at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month but may need to come down the weights. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a couple of wide stalls to deal with over 7f on the AW lately and may yet have more to offer as a sprinter; interesting to see how he goes in the market, back from nine months off, for a yard also responsible for Expert Agent. |
16/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked one to follow when producing a dominant display at Lingfield in June (6f, AW; second handicap run); only third behind H Key Lails over C&D next time but ran well for third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; not seen to best effect on his stable debut last month but he's not fully exposed and could have a bigger run in him; stable form is hard to fault. |

C&D win last summer; best effort for some time when getting up late to beat Havana Touch by a nose at Lingfield six weeks ago (7f, AW); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

A three-time 7f/1m AW winner in 2025; back on song when runner-up to Bella Bisbee over C&D 16 days ago, so must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Consistent this year and recorded a clearcut win at Lingfield (7f, good) returned to turf last time but everything went his way (made all against favoured near rail); no certainty to defy a 6lb rise. |
10/1 |

1st 3 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Races mainly on AW where he has six wins; 1-15 in this sphere and may be worth waiting until he returns to AW. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (7) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent spell under Ryan Kavanagh during the winter but resumes from a short break still on a career-high mark as a result (3lb above his highest successful rating); more likely than most to give his running, though, possibly from the front again. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last September on his second start; third on his handicap/seasonal debut in April but he hasn't gone on from that since, though did run respectably at Chelmsford two weeks ago. |
6/1 |
|
10 (7) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Made all in a Wolverhampton maiden one year ago (7f); ran well for third on his handicap/seasonal debut at Southwell in April (7f) but that hasn't proved to be a springboard to better things; edging down the weights but other options are stronger. |
12/1 |

5 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won 7f Wolverhampton maiden as 2yo and was close up over C&D on handicap debut in April; back to that level when visored at Lingfield last time and should run well. |

0-8; best effort was when second of 11 in a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good) in July, but his efforts in handicaps since leave plenty to be desired. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Not matched his maiden/novice form in three handicap runs; cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; not easily recommended. |

11 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed bag in his six starts, with his two handicap runs yielding heavy defeats; lacklustre run at Southwell last time has seen connections turn to headgear; others look safer. |
