25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
He's 2lb lower than when winning at Brighton last August but has struggled to get competitive this year and needs to turn things around. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Won twice for Nick Littmoden, including over 1m4f at Brighton (good) last August; low-key form since joining this trainer in May for 6,000gns and has plenty to prove at present. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
28-1 and well beaten on his stable debut at Newbury eight days ago (1m4f, good); not easily recommended on the back of that. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; below par twice on turf since a respectable third on AW at Southwell (1m6f) in July but is well handicapped again. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Promising third on handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m5f, AW) in July but he's struggled in three subsequent runs; dropped another 3lb but he needs a major revival in first-time blinkers. |
20/1 |
|
5 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His third to progressive pair Deep Water Bay and Belgravian over 13.5f at Chelmsford reads very well (the fourth also won a hurdle next time); two lesser runs have followed but major player if first-time cheekpieces help him to recapture the Chelmsford form. |
4/1 |
|
8 (6) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed; below par at Yarmouth last time (1m6f, good to soft) having turned in a career best when third to two progressive sorts (both have won twice since) on handicap debut at Chelmsford (13.5f, AW); player. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Close third in her first handicap at Lingfield (1m4f AW) but still went off 22-1 at Southwell two weeks ago and was never dangerous from off the speed; down only 1lb for those two defeats. |
13/2 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Mixed form in three qualifying runs in the spring but she made a solid start in handicaps when a close third of six at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) two weeks ago; that was behind The Bay Warrior but she should benefit from that run and is open to more progress at this trip; possibilities. |
6/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Smart middle-distance pedigree; didn't get close to that level when reaching the frame in three qualifying runs at up to 1m4f on AW in February/March but no surprise were she to prove a different proposition for her top yard now handicapping after 169 days off; all the more interesting if backed. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Very consistent in turf handicaps at up to 1m4f, winning once and runner-up on four other occasions; offered enough to think he's still in form when 2l fourth of six at Newmarket (1m2f) three weeks ago; showed promise on AW at start of his career; ought to be on the premises again. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent 3yo who ran well again in defeat when tried over 1m4f at Thirsk last week; won't mind returning to 1m2f but he's clearly handicapped about right. |
4/1 |
|
4 (7) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up twice over 1m2f since winning maiden handicap over that trip at Pontefract (good to firm) in May; drops in grade here and has been shaping as though well worth a crack at 1m4f; headgear switched; good chance. |
13/8 |
