3rd 3 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f) with a close third in between; they were all on AW in March/April under Olivia Tubb and he's not raced since, with turf runs in the last two years hinting that he's not quite so good in this sphere; also, the last time he raced on firmer than good was 2022. |

1st 2 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His first seven wins were all gained over 1m4f/1m3f, with the latest of those last October, but he then made all under Olivia Tubb in a six-runner race over C&D 13 days ago; that win was by a neck and he's been raised 2lb since, but a wide draw complicates today's task. |

Won five times in Britain, latest in August; shaped well a couple of times on the AW for this stable but didn't beat a rival home the last twice on turf, slowly away both times; down 3lb. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month but found out off 3lb higher at Yarmouth since, albeit another creditable effort. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Can lead; course winner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; a 3lb rise for that success still leaves him well treated on old form. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing run but he comes here in good nick, third of 11 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap four days ago; his best recent form is on the AW though. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Two of his six wins have come over C&D; can go well fresh so his low-key return to action at Yarmouth last month was disappointing; down in class and has the assistance of Henry Callan in the saddle so he could leave that well behind. |
11/2 |
|
10th 10 (3) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who had irregular form in 2025 but he only just failed on his reappearance at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last spring and he's 4lb lower now; on the cards that he'll return with a good effort. |
14/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he made some good late headway when runner-up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb higher here and he looks interesting back up in trip. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Defied an 8lb higher mark over C&D in May 2025 but was in better form at the time; chance depends on the effects of a belated third attempt in blinkers (last worn in 2023). |
8/1 |
|
11th 13 (9) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return. |

10st 2lb |
Both wins came in May 2024 over about 1m2f when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam; closest since when beaten a neck at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last month in first-time blinkers (retained since); still well handicapped on his best form. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Record of 0-7 for current yard but he went down by only a neck in first-time blinkers at Nottingham (1m2f, good) most recently; still well treated on historical data; possibilities in the retained headgear. |
9/4 |

2nd 7 (7) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

Dual winner for Jane Chapple-Hyam but has been quite disappointing since the latest of those wins; held in two starts since undergoing wind surgery and blinkers are now tried instead of cheekpieces; down another 3lb. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner whose three appearances here have yielded two wins (7f and 1m) back in 2022/2023; also finished runner-up in this race (good to firm) in 2024 and he was back on track when fairly close third of four at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; winner and second have won subsequently and he warrants consideration. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |

Opened his handicap account in Newbury contest (1m2f, good to firm; beat a subsequent scorer) and not disgraced in two runs since, latest on ground possibly softer than ideal; this low-mileage 4yo may do better still. |

No wins in nine but he's admirably consistent and again hit the frame over a bit further here a month ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims once more. |

3rd 1 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been beaten as favourite in four of his five handicaps but he found improvement when a close third over C&D last month; up 3lb but that latest run was a Racing League event and he pulled 4l clear of the fourth; key player. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
4yo who is 0-7 and has been a beaten favourite in all four handicaps; however, he's still run good races and may take a step forward at some point. |
