15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June but has failed to beat a rival in two recent starts for new trainer Iain Jardine; can only be watched at present. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June, after which he changed hands for 19,000gns; rain would be a bonus but he did trail home last at Hamilton only last week (1m5f) and has a good bit to prove at 1m. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
4yo who has failed to progress this year but he got back on track with a nose second of six to High Point over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive in handicaps last term; hasn't continued in the same vein during a fairly light 2025 campaign but faced a tough task in the Old Borough Cup here most recently; this is easier. |

9th 15 (6) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won two 3yo handicaps last spring (1m4f, soft) and ran well in defeat on first two starts this season (2m, good/AW); disappointing at Ascot (2m, good) last time but holds each-way possibilities if back on song. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Left Jedd O'Keeffe for £21,000 in May and given wind surgery; first run since when justifying 5-6 favouritism in 11-runner handicap at Uttoxeter three weeks ago (2m, good); he did that narrowly but he was delivered late, so the 7lb rise could be very manageable. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Comfortably justified 4-6 favouritism in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) last month; has very low mileage and, although 6-4 favourite, his fourth of six at Haydock (1m6f) on handicap debut three weeks ago was his best form; looked stretched by 1m6f and better may still be forthcoming. |
11/4 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Brings staying potential, having comfortably justified favouritism in maiden over a stiff 1m3f on soft ground at Carlisle last time; has very low mileage and could well improve further; respected handicap debutant. |
2/1 |

1st 8 (10) |
9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Encouraging third behind two Gosden-trained inmates at Windsor (1m2f, good) last month following seven-month absence; should be suited by the step up in trip and one of the likelier ones. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Hurdles debutante whose Flat efforts for new yard leave a doubt over her current form; previously a fairly useful sort (peak RPR 87) so brings potential provided a resurgent display materialises. |
14/1 |

10th 11 (9) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won on AW and turf for Hughie Morrison at up to this trip; not that competitive in two runs for current yard and all headgear is now removed; bit risky. |
16/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
2-13 overall and 1-8 in handicaps, the handicap win in a four-runner race (1m2f) last November; probably stays 1m6f but did not show it on latest outing; 5lb lower today than at start of this season but the first-time tongue-tie seemingly needs to make a difference. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Well treated judged on peak form (AW in spring 2025) but it's a serious concern that his latest start (five weeks ago; made most) so seriously damaged his record of going well when back from a break; that was the first time he's been tongue tied (as he is today) and also his first race at Kempton. |
8/1 |

11th 3 (3) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Goes well fresh (twice recorded a personal best when back from a break) and will appreciate this return to an artificial surface; fitting of a tongue-tie for this return could be a sign of intent; of interest. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Bounced back to form in this grade at Windsor (11.5f, soft) last time, while shaping as if this step back up in trip will suit; 1-1 over 1m6f (AW win) and enters calculations. |
