14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't won for more than two years, but sound effort when length second over C&D in May (good to firm); each-way chance. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
No win since June 2024 off 15lb higher and he's never made much of an impact in his five AW races; he's still shown more than enough on turf this season to be considered, however. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Dual Flat winner whose form in juvenile hurdles includes an emphatic success at Kempton (2m, good) and two non-completions (pulled up both times) in Grade 2 races; drops back in class after a break but he has a bit to prove and probably needs to kick on again to make a major impact. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Progressed well at an ordinary level for previous Flat yard and looked a jumper with a future when rattling home by 14l at Kempton in November (good; Flat winner on soft); only 5-2 for the Grade 2 at Chepstow over Christmas won by Tenter Le Tout and hard to believe he gave his true running; retains potential but probably vulnerable for win purposes even if back on song. |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Took a 14lb hit for winning a couple of classifieds in 2023 and won his first handicap in convincing fashion on his 2024 reappearance at Chelmsford (2m, AW); came back from a 469-day absence with a big defeat back there (1m6f) a fortnight ago and only market support would make him of interest. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner over 2m on 2024 reappearance and placed on his two other AW starts last year; not seen for 469 days but evidently capable when fresh. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 4lb |
Showed enough to suggest she could win a race when trained in Britain; below best when last seen at Pontefract in September; has joined yard that can ready one and has run well on the AW before, so monitor the market. |
5/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden; good effort when close third at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June but below that on her next two starts, including when under the care of Kevin Philippart De Foy and beating one home at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks ago; backed into favouritism that day so interesting to see if her supporters return. |
10/1 |
|
3 (8) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Maiden; creditable third over 7f here last October and put in another good effort when close third at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June; below par last time at Windsor (final start under the care of Raphael Freire) but could bounce back. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden but he has shown promise at up to 1m4f on good ground; longer trip and slower ground the unknowns this time. |
4/1 |
|
5 (4) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unexposed after just three handicaps and he followed a rallying fourth at Epsom in July (1m4f) with a good third at Windsor (11.5f, also good) when things didn't pan out ideally 17 days ago; on the shortlist. |
4/1 |

14 (3) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Five-race maiden; ran well in Epsom handicap (1m4f, good; rallying fourth) most recently and that form has worked out nicely; very interesting dropped 1lb. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (7) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has been beaten 9l or more in four handicaps (1m2f-1m4f) for current yard; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove on this big step up in trip. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish maiden who has failed to back up debut promise; couple of modest efforts for new stable; needs to raise his game. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; didn't run badly when sixth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last November but has fitness to prove after five-month break and was well beaten over C&D on only previous 1m4f attempt. |
25/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Good third with blinkers added in a Carlisle handicap (1m1f, good) in September but he's finished tailed off in both subsequent runs; record is now 0-7 and he needs a major revival with headgear removed. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-9 on AW; reportedly benefited from removal of blinkers with narrow win at Pontefract (1m4f; front pair clear) a fortnight ago but underwhelmed over 1m2f (also good to soft) at Redcar on Saturday; step back up to this trip should help. |
5/1 |

4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Reportedly benefited from removal of blinkers when returning to form with narrow win at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; front pair clear) nine days ago; recent 4lb rise is manageable and the forecast overnight rain will be very much in his favour. |
9/2 |
|
9 (7) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
1-18; respectable effort when fourth in first-time blinkers at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) in May but was beaten 12l, when things didn't go his way, in amateur riders' handicap at Newcastle (AW) next time; weakened a long way from home on his return at Doncaster 11 days ago. |
