6th 2 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning on AW at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f); they were in March/April but he returned from a break with creditable third of six here (1m2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, again under Olivia Tubb; probably not far away. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

Eventually drew clear from two rivals at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) last week, having taken a while to respond to Billy Loughnane's urgings; previously effective over 1m4f and, even with 4lb penalty, remains well treated on peak form. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm; always close up) four weeks ago; back up another 7lb but his peak 2024 form (a win on good to soft here) was better still; on the shortlist. |
6/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice in 2024 for Jane Chapple-Hyam; spent a year with Jack Morland and got off the mark for him at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 19 days ago; sold again for 22,000gns one day later and this is his first run back with his former yard; back up 4lb and not proven beyond an extended 1m2f (unraced over this far); tongue-tie and headgear worn for his last yard is removed; quite a few questions, but peak 2024 form was a bit better. |
13/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
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. |

Scored at Newcastle (1m4f) in March but largely below form since, last of four in 1m4f handicap at Thirsk ten days ago; this course winner needs to take a step forward in refitted blinkers. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner for Ian Williams; sold for 20,000gns last October; third to Poet's Dawn over C&D (stable debut) early last month and runner-up to a progressive rival over 1m here subsequently; highly likely to make presence felt. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 10 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Successful over 1m2f at Newbury (good to firm) off this mark for Ian Williams last summer; creditable start for new yard after nine months off (had wind surgery) when third of five over 1m2f here (good) 12 days ago; entitled to build on that but 9.4f at Wolverhampton is the shortest trip he's tackled prior to this. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |

Won for Ian Williams at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last July and runner-up three times subsequently; sold for 20,000gns last October and absent since (wind op in interim); may be best watched on stable debut. |

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

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. |
11/4 |
|
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. |
7/1 |
