4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Sometimes slowly away; never dangerous in Group 2 and Group 1 races on last two starts; progressive otherwise, in handicaps prior to good efforts at Listed level; could go well, back down in grade. |
9/1 |
|
21th 5 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced as 2yo; made good progress in 2025, ending with a Listed third of ten over C&D (soft) but, after a satisfactory return in a similar race at Naas (good) in April, he was never involved in the Group 2 at Haydock won by Night Raider; aiming high today. |
66/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who made his debut last May and progressed very nicely, his campaign culminating in Listed third at Ascot (5f, soft) in October; returned with Listed third at Naas (5f, good) where he might have won with a clear run; others have better form but he's unexposed and could have more to offer. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Impressed on his stable debut at Doncaster in August (6f, good to firm; back from a 606-day break) but he has made no impact in two handicaps since; too much to prove for comfort. |
16/1 |
|
2 (14) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 7f maiden for the Gosdens and a 6f novice here (good to firm) by 4l on debut for current yard; faced a tough task on handicap debut at York but was easy to back (18-1) and trailed in nearly last; drops back to 5f for the first time with a tongue-tie added. |
12/1 |
|
18 (13) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has a very different profile from most of these with just three outings to date; on the second of them he won over 7f on the AW (final outing for the Gosdens) and on the third he overcame a long absence to hammer his six rivals in a novice at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; made all); in deeper here and will need another leap forward but he could be anything. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Without a win since August 2024 but well treated on last year's best efforts and he shaped when seventh of 14 over C&D three weeks ago as though he'd be sharper for that comeback run; seems to like it here; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
7th 12 (9) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
A losing sequence is mounting but he has a win and a third from just two attempts over C&D, and the latter was first time out last season; 7lb lower here and he's of obvious interest if cherry ripe after 161 days off (has had wind surgery); one of two very plausible candidates for the Barrons. |
11/2 |
|
11 (5) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Close second in this race 12 months ago (Oisin Murphy on board) when rated 4lb higher; knocking at the door this season and the addition of cheekpieces could give him a lift; shortlisted. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |
33/1 |
|
6 (8) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |
33/1 |

1 (5) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran; goes well on soft ground and ran a fine race when second to Trilby (2lb worse off for 0.5l) at Haydock last time (5f, soft; tongue-tie tried); tongue-tie retained and sound each-way chance. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Chelmsford winner off 5lb higher this time last year; boasts a fair record overall at this trip on the AW and a return to form wouldn't surprise; may well be dropped in and ridden for luck from stall 9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (12) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |

Absent since running respectably when favourite for AW contest in January; on a two-year losing spell but is attractively treated off his lower mark back on turf; further market support should be noted. |
9/1 |

7 (8) |
31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

Smart in his prime and a multiple winner over the years but became disappointing after last season's winning reappearance and was last of 20 when back in action at York in May; needs to turn things around. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; understandably not the force of old but won on 2025 reappearance (off 6lb higher) and has a strong York record (6-18). |

In better heart than recent form-figures suggest, shaping encouragingly at Beverley on reappearance and poorly drawn at Ascot next time; usually runs at 5f but also successful at 6f; falling in weights and has each-way hopes. |

Ran his best race for new connections when third of 21 in a 0-85 over C&D four weeks ago; mark left unchanged but he does need to prove himself on ground firmer than good. |

3rd 16 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won since 2024 but he's starting to look well handicapped; heavily backed when sixth of 20 behind Lord Roxby and Yes I'm Mali over C&D three weeks ago; bit more needed but he could be building up to something. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Split James's Delight and Elmonjed in top 3yo handicap over C&D (good to soft) in 2024; failed to win in 2025 but he has edged down the weights and his three runs for Paul Midgley have been quite encouraging, faring best of those in the far-side group when sixth of 16 back on turf at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 37 days ago; considered. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

Four wins over 5f for Iain Jardine, but unplaced in three starts on the AW since returning for this yard in January; 8lb below last winning mark, but drying ground and return to 6f pose questions; cheekpieces return. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

A fair 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; shaped encouragingly for his new yard when fourth at Southwell (5f) in January but raced too freely over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton since; can bounce back here. |

Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |

Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |

Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |
