2nd 1 (5) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's won five already this year, the first four over C&D; a 5lb rise for his latest turf victory under 5lb claimer Jack Nicholls demands more but such has been his rate of progress he may well be up to it. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who landed his fourth 7f Newcastle success of the year when seeing off 13 rivals last month; his 2lb nudge for that is offset by his rider's claim; 0-4 on turf but probably a bit premature to suggest he won't prove fully effective on the grass. |

1st 8 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who won three in a row over C&D at the start of the year; finished out the back behind Anthropologist here last month but he didn't lead in that race and raced freely after being crowded in the pack; this is another competitive event but he has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m on reappearance at Bath and has run respectably on four of last five outings; no reason why he shouldn't give a good account. |
4/1 |

2 (1) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to make a winning handicap debut at Bath in June (1m, good); not used that as a springboard to better things and he wasn't at his best last time but no doubt he has the ability to feature. |
4/1 |

Resumed with 1m victory at Bath in June and largely in good form since, fifth of eight in 1m2f Ffos Las handicap 26 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
8.6f winner at Wolverhampton on her final start for Roger Varian; two modest efforts for her new yard last month; something to prove for now. |
12/1 |

10th 5 (11) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended time with Roger Varian with a breakthrough success over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton but well beaten over that same C&D on her first outing for new connections; back down in trip. |
10/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Free-going filly; consistent rather than progressive but she's edging down the weights and has been running respectably at a modest level; this is her first run in 0-60 company and she should make a bold bid. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced maiden who reared as the stalls opened on turf last time and did well to get as close; that came off the back of a solid stable debut over C&D and he's shortlisted under Billy Loughnane (1-9 for the yard). |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six race maiden; well held in two handicaps for his previous stable but he posted a solid effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) on his first start for this yard 23 days ago; may come on from that first start for 168 days. |
9/2 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Signs of ability in novice/maiden company but failed to make immediate progress for the switch to handicapping, admittedly with an excuse - suffered interference on the home bend - over C&D last October; easing mark, but best watched off a 168-day absence. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has lacked consistency for current stable but is only 1lb higher than when recording an account-opening success on AW in December; fighting chance provided he's back in similar form. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13th time lucky when winning a 9.4f handicap at Wolverhampton in December; not so good twice in January and now returns from an 11-week break; Oisin Murphy booked so a better showing would seem likely. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13th time lucky when justifying support at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) last month; didn't fire back at that track three weeks ago but his penultimate form has worked out well and he's a player if he can get back near that level. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 but she's reached the frame in four of her handicaps including when fourth on C&D reappearance (good) two weeks ago; that was behind a major improver and she's a player if he can build on that. |
9/2 |

4th 10 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

14/1 |

6 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden but she has shown some promise in handicaps this summer, including here (9.5f) four weeks ago; dropping back in trip shouldn't be an issue; each-way claims. |

Yet to score but posted his best effort for current yard dropped back markedly in trip when third of 14 in 8.5f Beverley handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

3rd 13 (11) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

18-race maiden who has been well held in five runs at 1m4f-2m this year; mark has bottomed out now and he needs a transformation on this big drop back in trip; reapplied blinkers replace a visor. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win (from 13 attempts) came off this mark at Chepstow (7f, soft) last September; however, unable to match that form on her next four starts last season and she returns from a break minus cheekpieces. |
16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning a 7f handicap at Chepstow last month (soft ground; cheekpieces first time); fair sixth at Bath next time and latest heavy defeat at Ffos Las defeat excusable on account of the testing going; others are still more appealing. |
20/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Most races over shorter, off the mark over 7f at Chepstow (soft; first-time cheekpieces) this month but stamina didn't seem to be a problem back over 1m when a close sixth of 11 at Bath since; thereabouts. |

She hasn't run badly in fourth in handicaps here on her last two starts; a bit more will be needed to make the breakthrough but she's not fully exposed over 1m+. |

4th 13 (2) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he bagged a third success in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago when overcoming a wide passage; up 3lb but this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Took a long time to get off the mark but he's got the hang of winning now, having been successful over C&D and 7f at Southwell in two of his last three starts in classified events (outstayed at about 1m1f in between); should make a good go of it back in a handicap. |
