15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Still seeking a first handicap success but he has gone close in two of his three runs for Robert Cowell, beaten a short head over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); slower ground would be no issue but he will need a bit more to defy this 2lb higher mark. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Turf maiden winner who is 0-11 in handicaps but went down by only a neck in Lingfield AW event (6f) on stable/seasonal debut and is worth keeping in mind despite posting a lesser effort since. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 5f scorer for Richard Fahey; made a promising start for Robert Cowell after four months off when second of 12 in 6f Lingfield handicap four weeks ago; up 3lb but he must enter calculations. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made favourite but lacked experience when tackling the 5f handicap here last June; better form when winning at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last September and, after a low-key reappearance at Newmarket, he impressed when winning at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) recently; 1lb well in under a penalty; looks a smart prospect. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Lightly raced 4yo with something of an all-or-nothing profile; put everything together when bolting up at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn; might have needed the run when only ninth of 13 at Newmarket on reappearance; leading claims if building on that and cheekpieces may give him a lift. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who still retains most of his ability and gave a good account when keeping-on second of 21 at York (6f, good) last month; still only 1lb higher than for C&D (heavy) win in October and will be favoured by any rain. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who retains plenty of ability; fourth in big field at Doncaster on return and fared best of those drawn high when seventh over C&D next time; back to his last winning mark and impossible to discount. |
10/1 |
|
7th 22 (18) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
10yo who may prefer slow ground but the going was good when he was fourth of 21 in this in 2024; often runs well here and he reappeared with a creditable fourth of 19 at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in March; each-way possible. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |
10/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Never in contention in the Ayr Silver Cup last week; mark not beyond him judged on this year's best but he has few secrets now. |
20/1 |
|
18th 21 (17) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Took this prize in 2024; back in fine form of late since fitted with blinkers, scoring at Hamilton (5f) in May and in the frame in big-field 5f handicaps at Thirsk and Newcastle since; ought to be thereabouts. |
5/1 |

4th 12 (12) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer; two wins this season, one of them C&D (2-2 here); back near his best when a close third of 17 at Thirsk last month but this is a stronger race. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (13) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
None too consistent but he surged back to form with a win at Hamilton (5f, good; made all) two weeks ago; that was only his second go in blinkers and he's again of interest off 4lb higher. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
The addition of blinkers saw him take a good step forward when comfortably seeing off 17 rivals at Newbury (6f, soft) last October; absent until Derby day three weeks ago where he was never a threat; the blinkers now return and dangerous to underestimate him. |
14/1 |
|
14th 9 (11) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-9 in his first season last year, winning in blinkers at Newbury (6f, soft) final outing; may improve further this term; a possible danger, provided the removal of headgear doesn't backfire. |
8/1 |
|
8 (7) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
His only win came in an AW novice but he ran well on heavy ground at Goodwood last month; latest run at Haydock (raced alone up the far side) easy to forgive; blinkers now tried. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Twice a runner-up over 6f this winter, including here, but he raced too freely in one 7f run and he still has to prove he needs this far. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
He has finished second on his last two attempts at this trip, chasing home Hundred Caps at Southwell 17 days ago; 4lb better off with his old rival today; each-way claims. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran encouragingly at Lingfield (6f) on belated return to AW and the step up to 7f provides an excuse for subsequent effort; remains well treated on best turf form; possibilities. |

10th 12 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Almost as good as ever at the age of seven and went down narrowly at Ripon (6f, good) earlier this month; hard to knock but this is a warm race and he faces some unexposed rivals. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began this year with two Newcastle wins (6f, Tapeta) but he was only eighth of ten there last month; has won over C&D but has a patchy profile and needs to step up again on this return to turf. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has been in good form in 6f handicaps this season, including second over C&D in April (good to soft) and third at Carlisle in May (good to firm); won his first race on turf when prevailing at Newbury last week (good to soft); has a penalty but sound chance. |
5/4 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A Southwell maiden win last summer remains his only success after 15 attempts but he has run good races in defeat in all three starts this year; conditions should suit well and he is more appealing than most. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 10 (8) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Found only Realign too strong at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn despite meeting trouble at a crucial stage, and he was back on the up when a neck second of 16 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; reliable and has notably solid credentials. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had his ideal conditions when gaining his fourth win at Haydock last month (5f, soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; solid third of 20 off this 5lb higher mark at York last time (5f, good; fifth has won since); stall 2 perhaps not ideal but one with a chance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 19 (20) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying). |
10/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form when second at Beverley (5f, good) last month; sixth of seven there since (5f, good to soft) but beaten less than 2l and he's a three-time winner here (6f/5f, good-heavy); could be bang there now back here in first-time cheekpieces. |

Ended a long losing run when cosily making all in five-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) three weeks ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly in his current mood. |

1st 5 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Scored twice (5f/6f) last May and took a step forward with third of seven in 6f Catterick handicap 20 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |

9st 0lb |
Prominent racer; three heavy defeats from four runs for his new stable in 2025 but the other run saw him spring a 40-1 surprise at Doncaster; blinkers join the eyeshields today but he drops to 6f for the first time on his 39th start. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Heavy defeats on his first two starts for this yard but he popped up at 40-1 when scrambling home at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time eye-shields) three weeks ago; 3lb rise less of a concern than his trainer putting one of the reasons for that success down to quick ground. |
