6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Close to a career best when winning over 6f here (Class 3; 2-1 favourite; from 3lb lower) over Christmas; free and a beaten favourite twice since, so will need to drop the anchor if to make his presence felt over today's longer trip; others make more appeal. |

7th 4 (2) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a gamble over C&D in December, his first run after a gelding operation; only third off this mark at Kempton last time where he was hamstrung by a refusal to settle; still lurks on an interesting mark and he is one to take seriously, even with the stable on a losing run of 25. |
9/4 |

3rd 7 (3) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Landed a gamble at Wolverhampton six weeks ago (6f), his first run since a gelding operation; well on top at the finish on that occasion and a 4lb rise looks extremely fair given the second, fourth and fifth have won since; good draw and lots to like. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Without a win since August 2024 but well treated on last year's best efforts and he shaped when seventh of 14 over C&D three weeks ago as though he'd be sharper for that comeback run; seems to like it here; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
7th 12 (9) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
A losing sequence is mounting but he has a win and a third from just two attempts over C&D, and the latter was first time out last season; 7lb lower here and he's of obvious interest if cherry ripe after 161 days off (has had wind surgery); one of two very plausible candidates for the Barrons. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

Close second in this race 12 months ago (Oisin Murphy on board) when rated 4lb higher; knocking at the door this season and the addition of cheekpieces could give him a lift; shortlisted. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, heavy) last summer, but he was around 5l behind Kinswoman at Haydock (5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October on final start for Alice Haynes; watch the betting on debut for new trainer. |
14/1 |
|
3 (6) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins this summer (5f, good to firm/heavy), on the second occasion at Glorious Goodwood, and another solid run when close third of six at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in August last time; this 3yo wears a first-time tongue-tie and can be in the mix once more. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in June before bumping into progressive winner at Haydock (5f, good), and back to winning ways at Glorious Goodwood (5f, heavy); this improving 3yo could take a 5lb rise in his stride. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Second in this race last year before running out the ready winner of a 5f AW handicap at Haydock last May (good to firm) off a 1lb lower mark; made an encouraging return to action at Beverley 16 days ago; each-way shout. |
10/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Pushed the reopposing Smart Vision close at Doncaster last autumn; started last season well (including second in this race on reappearance) and should be on the premises if resuming in similar form. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

Ran well when second over C&D (soft) last month; respectable efforts twice since but this first experience of heavy going needs to prompt some further progress. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; progressive last year, winning on three occasions, including when making all at Haydock (5f, good) when last seen in October; now 5lb higher but this well-bred filly looks the type to continue progressing as a 4yo; holds an entry in Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot. |
2/1 |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
She was bidding for a hat-trick when a close second of 18 off this mark at York (5f, good) last Friday; this well-bred and progressive 3yo is a leading candidate for her top yard if conditions suit (unraced on slow ground). |
7/4 |
|
10 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
From a fine family and things have clicked since dropping to 5f, making short work of her rivals in small-field Windsor novice in August and following up at Chester 19 days later (both good to firm); had stall 1 there and an 8lb rise isn't obviously generous but the form has worked out and she could well have more in the tank; interesting. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Opened his AW account in Kempton contest (6f) in December; has remained in form since, without necessarily building on that success; likely needs to raise his game in this field. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Made his AW breakthrough when scoring over C&D in December; matched that form when second over C&D in January and big player with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle for the first time. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (6) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Made his AW breakthrough when scoring over C&D near the start of last month and it was a creditable effort when close fifth of 12 at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; solid claims from the same mark. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |
16/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Should be well handicapped now but he hasn't built on a good fourth at Newcastle in December in three subsequent runs; connections reach for cheekpieces tonight. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

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). |

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. |
9/4 |

6th 8 (3) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Last win came off a 6lb higher mark over C&D in April 2025 (good); runner-up in that equivalent race 11 days ago (good) and with rain about, could go well again. |
