4th 3 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner in 2024 but three subsequent visits have not gone nearly so well; none too consistent but two of his last four AW runs, including in January latest, give him a shout if he's ready following the absence; he's twice been runner-up after longer layoffs. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |
11/2 |
|
2 (9) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
2 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |
8/1 |
|
10th 12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

None too consistent and he has been well beaten on his last two starts; has the lowest BHA rating in the field and has to concede weight all round so he looks up against it. |
7/1 |
|
3 (11) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Blew hot and cold for his former stable and it has been a similar story for James Owen, his win at Southwell and second over 1m here surrounded by lesser efforts; chance if on one of his good days; cheekpieces added to usual accessories. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Emphatic win on stable debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) early last month; disappointing in next two runs but he got back on track with a clear second at Kempton (hood reapplied) 11 days ago; on unchanged mark and has claims if he can back that up. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Habitual slow starter who is 0-24 in Britain; now 5lb lower than when finishing well for third at Kempton (6f) in December but this year's form has been disappointing; others are much less risky. |
9/1 |
|
11th 8 (1) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Habitual slow starter who is 0-23 in Britain; perked up with a close third over C&D (20-1) in December but he's struggled in last two runs and others carry fewer risks. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Not the easiest to predict but came from off the pace for a second career win on his first visit to Wolverhampton in March (7f; 2lb lower); breakthrough win in January was over C&D. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-16 on AW, the success admittedly gained in clearcut style at Southwell in January; a possible danger on that form but has been nowhere near it otherwise this year; not a solid option. |
16/1 |
|
9th 10 (6) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his first success for this yard in fine style over C&D last month but he never featured from off the pace here behind Fools Rush In following a 7lb rise 15 days ago; may be capable of bouncing back. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Resumed progress when winning by 2l at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on latest start, coming from towards rear; raised another 6lb but earns plenty of respect for his 6f record over the past year. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Made good progress last year, collecting four 6f wins along the way, but made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance in May and is still on a fairly tough mark for this first run since. |
16/1 |
|
10th 7 (14) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

His two wins for Ross Burdon have come at a lower level; disappointed at Kempton when last seen and although he is relatively unexposed at 6f, he will need a clear personal best to take this after 108 days off. |

Several good runs in Class 6 turf events this summer, winning at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; not at her best last time and others look stronger. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Had been threatening for a while before winning for Taryn Langley over 7f here, back in the cheekpieces, off 4lb lower 11 days ago; there's little wiggle room off this mark but the extra furlong's fine round a course she likes, and she's a player. |
7/1 |

3 (5) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent mare who was placed over 1m here (good to firm) last month and went down fighting when very close second to Romanovich over C&D (good) a fortnight later; wears headgear for first time since 2023; likely to make her presence felt again. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |

1st 1 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |

4th 2 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; yet to win this season but she was a good third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and filled the same position behind a big improver at Lingfield (1m, AW) last time; continues to edge down the weights and she's in the mix back on turf. |

Yet to win this season but kept on for third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and only faded out of contention in closing stages at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month, having raced wide throughout; on a tempting mark now; might be the answer. |

Not very consistent, but has won nine races, eight on the AW; twice well held since winning a handicap at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in June, but more than capable of playing a part if on a going day. |

Won Kempton classified (7f, Polytrack) in March and, after five unplaced runs, he returned to form with convincing handicap win at 20-1 at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; bang there if backing up that latest effort. |
