27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Slow starter; on a long losing run; creditable effort at Chester four weeks ago but this stiff 7f isn't sure to suit. |

6th 7 (11) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip. |
28/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Useful on his day but is on a long losing run and has a doubt over current form; by no means sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Last season concluded with C&D handicap win (soft); better than ever this year with a Listed win (6f, good to soft) and Group 3 second (6f, good) and another solid run when fifth of 13 in Group 2 at York (6f, good) last time; however, his form needs to go to another new level today. |
40/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily progressive over 6f, mostly in handicaps prior to showing bigger things this season by bagging Listed honours at Doncaster (good to soft) and finishing a good second in Group 3 at Newmarket (good); at the top of his form and may rate higher still; in the mix. |
9/1 |

2nd 1 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Steadily progressive, mostly in handicaps, throughout his career; won by 1l going away from Jasour in Listed event at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) on seasonal debut, looking better than ever and taking record to 6-23; solid second in both C&D starts; enters calculations upped further in grade. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Well handicapped on his 6f form last season, including a course win off 4lb higher, but he hasn't got it going yet this year; 5f on fast ground perhaps sharp enough and stall 1 unlikely to be a positive. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won 6f handicaps at Windsor and Ascot last summer; dropped down the weights in defeat this season but there have been glimmers of promise and ground softer than good will be of benefit; ran no sort of race at Carlisle eight days ago (in cheekpieces) but his usual blinkers are back on today; Oisin Murphy booked; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
12th 2 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Back-to-back 6f wins at Windsor (good to firm) and Ascot (good to soft) in 2025; has taken a while to get going this season but he shaped as if coming to the boil when sixth of 14 at Newbury (led briefly over 1f out) two weeks ago; back to his last winning mark and should be at concert pitch now. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on final two runs last year (1m, AW) and same story on his three outings this spring (6f, AW/good/good to firm); arrives with something to prove but he's 5lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) last October and the return to slow ground could facilitate a major revival. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Patchy overall record; didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages at Newbury two weeks ago but he was beaten over 5l at the finish; others are stronger. |
25/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy defeats on his last three starts, including his Kempton reappearance three weeks ago; he's on a fair mark on the pick of his efforts though and this track does seem to suit him well; Tom Marquand is a notable booking for the stable (his nine rides for Stan Moore have yielded two wins, a second, three thirds and two fourths); lively outsider. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 10lb |
Runner-up in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft) last September when first home on his side; repeated a 2025 Epsom win (6f, soft) early last month; first of his small group when ninth in the Wokingham; generally dependable sort; stable won this in 2016. |
8/1 |
|
9th 27 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner on good to firm last May; classy handicap form when runner-up in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft) last September when first home on his side, which wasn't the first time he's had a difficult track position; carries a penalty for recent Epsom win (6f, soft; his second win in that race) but no surprise if he does better again as a 5yo; respected. |
16/1 |

1st 8 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |

Versatile as regards ground; broadly consistent form last term featured a success (off 7lb lower) in this contest; likely needed his York reappearance; interesting back here with that outing under his belt. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Encouraging start for this yard with two fifth-place finishes at Leicester and York (also 6f) in the spring but his last two starts haven't been as promising; nicely treated and he does have form here so a revival isn't out of the question. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Ran well in Listed/Group races in 2024; on a three-year losing spell but his Class 2 form this term for new yard includes a couple of encouraging efforts; possibilities off current mark back down in grade. |
5/1 |
|
8th 9 (3) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Beaten on his last 20 starts going back to June 2023 but he's shown promise in fifth this spring on his first two starts for this yard, most recently behind a couple of these in a big field at York (6f, good); he continues to edge down the weights and might not be far away. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW. |
4/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Five wins last year (AW/soft) and he improved again to win in good style on his reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; he's 5-9 on AW as opposed to 1-7 on turf but there can be optimism that he is just as good on grass (has shown promise on various ground) and he's firmly in calculations. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up sprinter who won five times in 2025; fifth in a big-field event at the Curragh last September when he had to wait for an age for a gap to appear; appeals as the type to progress again this year and he's high on the list, for all he will need luck in running. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has led; won sole 2yo start (7f, AW); well held when attempting 6f at Leicester in May and he didn't look to be crying out for a return to this trip when plugging on into fourth of eight at Newmarket (7f) in August; could be tough against the specialists; blinkers fitted. |
14/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Showed the immediate benefit of surgery with a career-best third at Haydock (7f, good; same mark), where he was keen under restraint but kept on; enters the reckoning. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won sole 2yo start (7f, AW); three runs this year, with a fair sixth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time on handicap debut; improvement needed but he's been gelded since and his trainer has won the last two runnings; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
All three wins on ground slower than good, the latest two on heavy, and he's been taken out of races on good and quicker ground; rarely seen the best of him in 2025 but a latest close second of 15 at Doncaster (6f, good) offered hope; rain welcome; yard runs two. |
7/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Not in top form since reappearance but will be an interesting type when back on slower ground; has a record of 1112 in 6f contests on softer than good; mark is workable. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hold-up sprinter who ended a near two-year losing run at Pontefract (6f, good) last month; better form when second there three weeks ago; has plenty of C&D form in big fields and he has each-way claims. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Belatedly regained the winning thread in C&D event (good) last time, perhaps benefiting from the removal of visor and beating a subsequent scorer (pair clear); still favourably treated even though he's gone back up 5lb; strong contender. |
3/1 |
|
1st 9 (9) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
In reasonably good form having made the frame in last two starts, rallying both times; on a two-year losing spell but remain 7lb below last winning mark; enters calculations. |
