18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; flashed home to win a 7f handicap at Chester in May but it has been a mixed bag since, including dropped into a seller at Chester four weeks ago; dangerous mark if the addition of a tongue tie has a positive effect. |
10/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Last-gasp winner of a Class 3 handicap here (7f, good) in May but he hasn't matched that form since and was well held over C&D (good to soft) last time; hood now returns but this is highly competitive for a seller and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Produced a strong finish for a last-gasp success off this mark here (7f, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level since but he had some serious traffic issues when a creditable third here last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and could be a big factor if he gets the breaks. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 2lb lower then when winning at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in April, but his form since then has been patchy; ran with credit in two starts on Tapeta (at Southwell) a year ago, but will need to be at the top of his game and is likely to face competition for the lead. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

Two good runs here on fast ground this season, winning over 7f on first occasion; has rather lost his form recently; best form on faster ground. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; good C&D runner-up in April but beat only one in 1m Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |
|
12th 10 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Had excuses for the fizzling out of his season in 2025 but he'd been a ready winner of his sole C&D start, last May, and later won off this mark in August; appreciated the return to good to firm ground when only narrowly failing to get up at Beverley (about 7f) last month; on the premises. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has failed to show his form in last four appearances but ground softer than good wasn't ideal on seasonal debut latest; 2lb below last winning mark and holds a fighting chance provided he rebounds. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Two course wins (7.6f) for Hugo Palmer last summer; respectable fourth on this month's stable debut; should give his running but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. |
9/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 3-9 (all last year) for Hugo Palmer; final effort took his Chester record (7.5f) to 7112; subsequently sold for 60,000gns; likely player, provided he remains in similar form on stable/seasonal debut. |

Back-to-back wins at Ffos Las and Galway in June/July proved the highlight of his 2025 campaign; promising seasonal return when fourth of 16 at Doncaster three weeks ago; needs to take a step forward. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground win for Richard Fahey last November (1m); tongue tied for the first time when making a winning stable debut over C&D three weeks ago (good to soft); 3lb higher in a better race and going without cheekpieces today; handles good ground but perhaps wouldn't want it any faster. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A 2025 campaign that featured five wins was always going to be a hard act to follow and he has found it tough going so far this year; has slipped back to a winning mark though and cheekpieces are now given a go. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins during last season's progressive 3yo campaign (7f-1m); he's edging back down the weights but has failed to shine on his three runs this term and needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five handicap wins (7f to 1m; four in a hood) in a productive 2025, including on a fast surface, and he looked unlucky when third of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy; Kaleido ninth) in July; probably needed reappearance in March and likely didn't stay 1m2f when never competitive three weeks later; this mark demands a return to his best, though. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Newmarket in May and he did well to finish third over C&D (good) in July, having taken a wide route into the straight; has remained in good form since and has claims if he responds well to first-time visor. |
11/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Still 5lb higher than when making a successful reappearance at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in May; latest fifth of 11 over C&D (good to firm) 27 days ago was respectable but underlines he needs a bit more from this mark. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

Six times a course winner, including over this trip; can go well fresh and not handicapped out of things but slower ground would have been preferable. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his sixth win at Chester (5.5f, soft) last month; well beaten at York last month but turning tracks seem to bring out the best in him (has a win and second from only three visits here); not discounted. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Responded well to the fitting of a hood when off the mark at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; best effort since when fourth of ten at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; still 4lb higher than for his win so needs a bit more. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark at sixth attempt when scoring with hood added at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; finished a 5l sixth in both runs since but he had some traffic issues on both occasions and still looks feasibly treated on his peak form; could be a big factor if he gets the breaks this time. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins on AW; decent third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month but unable to back that up returning to turf when 14th of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); seems better on AW. |
9/1 |

14th 13 (10) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins (7f/1m, all AW) and it was a good effort when third in Southwell series final (1m, AW) 17 days ago; having a rare foray on grass but did finish second in good-ground Chester handicap (6f) in September; not dismissed from his lower turf mark. |
6/1 |

3rd 11 (3) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |

2lb lower than for his latest win at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last August, but hasn't been firing of late; first visit here. |
