10th 4 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
On a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; not particularly solid on 2026 efforts and it's still over five years since his only turf win. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last win was at Southwell in April 2024 but he travelled strongly for a long way before weakening there (7f) last month; record of 1-35 on turf but he's on a much lower mark back in this sphere and is well handicapped on his best form last season; one to keep an eye on with visor reapplied. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (11) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dry since a C&D win for the Quinn yard more than two years ago; now 10lb lower than when last seen on the AW (3-8 here) but has regressed on turf in the meantime and may just be on the downgrade. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Fine on all ground; second to Lerwick here two runs back but she wasn't as good last week and has to rebound from that. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race on good ground a year ago and followed up on soft ground over C&D a week later; not in same form this season but handicapped accordingly now and was placed over C&D (good) on last two outings; ought to make her presence felt again. |

3rd 6 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 1m on turf/Polytrack in June last year, but those are his only victories in 34 starts; 9lb lower than for the latest, but others still look more compelling; eyeshield removed. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins have been over 1m; went close here over 8.5f in February and kept on into fourth (behind Cooramook) after missing the break over C&D last time; will need things to drop right given his hold-up style. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 (9) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
1m turf winner (soft/good to firm) who is 1-16 on AW (won over 1m on Polytrack); unexposed over 7f but to have a serious chance he'll need to raise the bar based on his last four starts. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-race maiden whose encouraging turf form includes a good second in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster; close fifth to Arkenstaar, despite traffic issues, at Pontefract last week; clear possibilities off same mark. |
9/2 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Only had three races and the close second at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) is the standout run; bit risky. |
8/1 |
|
4 (4) |
17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not without some promise on her belated debut over C&D in June and took a step forward when beaten half a length into second of 14 at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft; 66-1) last month; one for the shortlist. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best known for his Newcastle work but goes well here too; consistent enough and the handicapper has given him a chance, back on the AW and given another try without the usual hood. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran respectably, albeit without being able to justify favouritism, at Chepstow latest start and is back on last winning mark; however, he's a quirky sort who comes with some risk; steps back up in class. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW; didn't look straightforward without usual hood or tongue-tie (back on here) when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; two things in his favour here are that he is the only distance winner in the field and this represents a drop in grade, so he needs to be considered seriously. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Comfortably made all over C&D and made most at Wolverhampton (8.6f; also last year); two weak finishes in 2026 and fellow front-runner Post Rider could spoil his chance here. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran creditably, keeping on, last time when bidding for a Nottingham double (1m2f; maiden previously); remains in form and, as his dam's side confirms, looks worth another crack at 1m4f; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 18th attempt over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago off 3lb lower on his second run for this yard, with Jake Dickson aboard him; needs to come on again in this higher grade. |
100/30 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
17-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway on his stable/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; was only beaten around 4l in that race and he could be dangerous back up in trip and down in grade; cheekpieces reapplied. |
11/2 |
