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. |
33/1 |

10th 16 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won two handicaps (1m5f/1m4f) last summer for Nick Littmoden and back with him when partially revived in third of four at Yarmouth last month; sold for 6,000gns eight days ago and a case can be made for him. |
14/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not a lot to show for his runs on the Flat or over jumps for previous yard but he's back with Nick Littmoden for whom he did well in Flat handicaps last year; on a competitive mark. |

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. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; has slipped to 6lb below his last winning mark (1m4f, Lingfield) and wasn't beaten far when having the run of the race under Rose Dawes at Wolverhampton (1m4f; third of seven, 7-2) last week; foolish to discount. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has seven wins on AW and is now 6lb lower than for the last of those last September; doesn't look ready to take advantage though. |

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 |
