5th 7 (11) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Below best on this track in November but he had won in good style over C&D the time before and seemed to appreciate the return to Southwell (7f) last month when he scored by overhauling one who has won both starts since (other subsequent winners behind); major player back up 3lb. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D win last October was a convincing one and he is only 2lb higher today; solid third at Wolverhampton when last seen in January; still has potential after just nine starts. |
9/4 |

3rd 4 (4) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough with a smooth win at Southwell (7f) in October but only sixth of 13 on return visit in November; has a bit to prove now but he's still lightly raced and is feasibly treated on his penultimate run. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) last August and also effective on Tapeta; he may have needed his sole run this year (well beaten at Catterick in April) but his profile is very up and down and claims aren't compelling. |
9/1 |

10th 4 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent last year but won at Musselburgh (7f, good) in August on his third handicap start and wasn't beaten far in fifth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) when last seen; remains lightly raced and could be a contender. |
10/1 |
|
2 (8) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Raised his game when readily seeing off seven rivals in a 7f handicap at Musselburgh in August; short of that level in two runs since and needs to bounce back quickly. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
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. |
5/2 |

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

C&D winner on his stable debut in January; unable to build on that effort in three runs in January; others are preferred for win purposes. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Debut 7f AW winner who hasn't had many goes in handicaps and has been shaping of late as though this trip could suit; each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4 (3) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning debut in a Southwell novice (7f) one year ago; unplaced in four starts this year and although his latest fifth at Southwell wasn't too bad (form worked out), he will need more to win here. |
8/1 |
|
1 (5) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Southwell (7f) in sole 2yo start; regressive RPRs this term; chance of turnaround depends on how well he responds to physical tweak (gelded since last run) and first-time hood. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Opened account at 13th attempt, with pushed-out success in first-time tongue-tie at Thirsk (6f, good) ten days ago; went up 7lb for that but the form was boosted when the reopposing third Great won on Wednesday. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (9) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Not beaten far on a few occasions in the spring, but now 0-12 and cheekpieces made no difference last time; needs the addition of a tongue-tie to make a difference. |
15/2 |
|
9th 12 (10) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-11 but she has performed with credit in each of her four 6f runs since undergoing wind surgery last November; close third off this mark at Hamilton last week; drops to 5f for the first time, with cheekpieces enlisted; each-way shout. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Close up in 7f events as a 3yo but she hasn't been her old self at 7f and 6f this year, in different headgear in two of her last three starts (none today); looks unlikely for now. |
20/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4yo maiden who has raced mainly at further; two duck eggs this term leave a doubt over current form; chance of revival depends on the effects of this belated return to sprinting, combined with first-time visor. |
13/2 |
|
10th 7 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Below best at the end of last season and also well held on 7f Catterick reappearance, taking her record to 0-13; a subsequent wind operation needs to have had a positive effect. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Record since the tongue-tie went on in December reads 2323223628; possible to forgive her latest effort at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta), but others are preferred for the win even so; hood removed after one use. |
7/1 |

8th 4 (10) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly consistent sort; ran up to her best when runner-up here (6f) 11 days ago; first-time hood replaces visor and good chance that stepping back up in trip can eke out further improvement. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he isn't very consistent and ran particularly poorly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time; has questions to answer. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season; failed to back that up when sixth there (7f, good) last time and this is his first crack at 6f, but he's not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Built on an encouraging AW reappearance when gaining a breakthrough win in 14-runner C&D handicap (good to firm; Mayo County third) 17 days ago; they were quite well strung out in behind (over 4l back to the fourth) so a 3lb rise looks manageable. |

Won handicaps at Chepstow (6f, good) and Lingfield (7f, AW) before a disappointing run at Chelmsford in his hat-trick bid 16 days ago; drawn widest and others appeal more. |
8/1 |
|

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has been in good form since cheekpieces went on, winning last two races, over 6f at Chepstow and last time by 0.5l over 7f at Lingfield; up 12lb (5lb rise for last win); contender. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark for James Owen at the 14th attempt when leading late on in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; returning to 7f no problem but a 4lb higher mark in a higher grade does ask more of him. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of near-misses to go with his only win, which came over 7.2f here off a 7lb higher mark last autumn; latest effort can be ignored but the emphasis will be more on speed, running in a sprint for the first time in a while. |
6/1 |
|
10th 10 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 0-12 for current yard but his form over this C&D includes sole success, which was gained off 9lb higher last October, and an encouraging effort (finished second) on Friday; fighting chance provided he belies recent inconsistency. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

3lb lower than when successful at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December, but his record on Tapeta (6U585) raises questions; cheekpieces are given a go. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all three turf starts, most recently in soft-ground C&D contest won by Beau Jardine in early June, but now 1lb lower than when winning on Polytrack here in December and has possibilities if this fast ground suits. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Led close home off today's mark here (7f, AW) in December but was below that form on all three AW starts since and is not yet proven on turf; others have more obvious claims. |
