1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions. |
8/1 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has won five times on turf but is not the force of old; has dropped a career-low mark but this race looks too competitive. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner with a C&D win on his record; 6lb lower than when seeing off seven rivals at Newbury last summer (5f, good to firm) but not easily recommended on 2026 evidence and he will find easier races to dominate than this. |

9st 8lb |
Three wins for George Boughey (two on AW); signed off with a 6f AW second at Wolverhampton and bought for 21,000gns last October; unplaced in two Dundalk outings and no better than mid-division in two Curragh runs; tongue-toe added now. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Three wins for George Boughey (two on AW), signing off with a 6f AW second at Wolverhampton; bought for 21,000gns in October and too keen on yard debut at Dundalk in March (7f); never dangerous back there later that month; improvement needed. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts including a game success at Catterick (6f, good) last Saturday; only 2lb higher back on AW and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |

9st 2lb |
August's Sandown win was over 5f but showed he's as effective over 6f when landing a Kempton apprentice event on Wednesday; escapes a penalty and Jack Dace also takes 5lb off so his claims are obvious from a handicapping perspective; yet to win back to back in his 56-race career, though. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been a superb servant, winning 16 of his 99 starts, including three this year; comfortable scorer at Haydock (6f, good to firm) latest, for which he has gone up 6lb; has won over C&D and looks a player again. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of two of his six starts this year, both over 6f at Southwell; he could only manage fourth of the nine runners back at Southwell 20 days ago and he will need to raise his game to defy this mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 4-15 under Connor Planas when gaining his second C&D success ten days ago; did it comfortably enough and despite a 5lb higher mark, is a major player if in the same form; stable also runs Melissa Honey. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 but he's finished placed in three of his four runs for current yard, including a close third off this mark at Bath (5.6f, good to firm) last month; that was a bold bid in a big field and he's respected back in trip. |
11/4 |

3rd 7 (6) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Runner-up in novice events at Doncaster (6f, good) and Windsor (5f, good to firm) with a hood for his new stable this summer; hood (absent again) removed for handicap debut when fifth at Sandown (5f, soft) 18 days ago; remains unexposed. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up in novice events at Doncaster (6f, good) and Windsor (5f, good to firm) for his new stable this summer; makes handicap debut at a realistic level but the hood is left off and he's untried on slower than good. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 1-13 but he's been knocking on the door at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Goodwood (5f, good) this spring; up another 2lb but this strong traveller was only just caught last time and the first three pulled clear in that race; key player. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 1-12 but his win was on turf (5f, good) last summer and he had a near-miss on Polytrack at Lingfield (6f) in March; nudged up 2lb but that was a bold bid from a tough draw last time and he's respected back in trip. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Only gone beyond 5f twice, not looking to see out 6f on either occasion (both first time out); otherwise made a pleasing comeback from a similarly wide stall here 39 days ago and is entitled to improve. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Returned to winning ways on the switch to turf, recording his seventh course win at Windsor (5f, good) last month; 3lb higher but still enters calculations away from his favourite track. |
9/2 |
|
1st 10 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile trip-wise and six of his 12 wins have come at Windsor; on same mark as for his Sandown win last autumn and he's been running well on AW this spring; should get a good tow into this race and he's in the mix back at this track. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No AW win since December 2021 but there have been some good runs on both Polytrack and Tapeta this year, including C&D, and yesterday's 6f second was another sound display; wasn't helping his rider under pressure on that occasion and opposable for win purposes. |

8st 10lb |
Yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal debut in April, but didn't run badly when third of six over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; 1lb lower now and Ashley Lewis claims his useful 5lb; considered. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
C&D (good to soft) winner in August 2024 who won at Lingfield (good to firm) and Ffos Las (again 5f, good) last year; couldn't repeat his win in that Lingfield event 12 days ago and this looks a warmer race than the ones he regularly contests; still not dismissed. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Took advantage of a good opportunity over C&D last month but came up short off higher marks twice since; conditions will be fine but others are more appealing. |
11/2 |
|
6 (11) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner when scoring at Ffos Las last month and probably didn't have an ideal track position when fourth at Sandown (also 5f, soft) on Friday; respected if she makes a quick reappearance here. |
5/1 |
|
12 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; first success since when beating four rivals at Ffos Las two weeks ago (5f, soft); this is deeper but a 2lb rise is manageable; more appealing than most. |
