1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins came on the AW last autumn; 1lb lower than for the latest, but he has beaten just one rival in four starts on turf; blinkers removed after one use and are replaced by cheekpieces. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner, who was beaten by a short-head on only other visit (6f) to Newcastle; won off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last October, but his last two efforts were low key - last of nine at Goodwood latest; first-time headgear needs to have a reviving effect. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
The winner of two 7f handicaps on the AW and has shown he can threaten off this mark; last run was disappointing but could bounce back, and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |

1m win here in February when with the Muir/Grassick stable; big prices and beaten just one rival home in his five starts for new yard; the return to AW is not enough to tempt. |
33/1 |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Beat a rival for the first time this term when eighth of nine at Ffos Las nine days ago; still finished 16l adrift and he's impossible to recommend. |

Has failed to beat a rival in three starts for this yard this year; change of headgear but can't consider. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Having only third run on turf when second at Haydock (1m, good; unraced on softer) and she came from some way back to go close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW), the scene of her sole success; strongly considered. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Pounced to break her duck over C&D (beat Blue Celestial by half-a-length) on penultimate start; gave a good account of herself back on turf when second at Haydock (1m) subsequently; it's likely she'll be in the mix again with Rose Dawes retaining the ride. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Got up late to shed her maiden tag at the 12th attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago; comfortably held on both turf starts but it's too soon to suggest she won't prove as effective on the grass. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Failed to match form of last month's C&D run when down the field at Southwell last time; return to this track should suit and isn't without a chance in an open event. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Twice-raced filly who went close at Wolverhampton (upped to 7f) last time; recorded only a modest RPR but may be capable of the necessary further progress. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Prominent for a long way on her Ayr debut (6f, good) six weeks ago; should stay this extra furlong and is open to improvement. |

14-race maiden; good second over C&D on final start for Noel Wilson in July; fair run when second back on turf on stable debut next time; could go well. |
7/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-13 but consistent and was a rallying second on yard debut over 5f here (good to firm) two weeks ago; considered back at 6f with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent in handicaps for Noel Wilson this year, signing off for him with a second at Newcastle (5f, AW) a fortnight ago; dips into this basement grade for stable debut (same owners) and has the services of Cieren Fallon; good chance. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of Class 6 wins on AW (7f/6f); his progress has continued back on turf, making all in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Doncaster; another 5lb higher today and also steps up into a Class 4 but he is still more appealing than many. |

Appreciated the drop in class back on turf when well supported at Redcar last month (6f, good to firm; made all); up 4lb and this is stronger but he enters the equation. |

3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Her two best efforts came over 7f and she is still to convince over 1m; cheekpieces added for first time; others appeal more for win purposes. |

4th 3 (6) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

0-9 but she has run some fair races in defeat; finished behind Chinchin at Chelmsford 12 days ago, however, and she needs to raise her game. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Reasonable effort back over 7f at Chelmsford on latest start but she'll have to be at the top of her game to win this from stall 11. |

Has been running respectably in nurseries and now drops back in distance; vulnerable to anything progressive but should give another good account from low draw. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kept on for third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month and suited by the step up in trip when second there (8.6f) last time, when clear of the third; thereabouts if the return to turf isn't an issue. |
9/1 |

2nd 7 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Too Darn Hot colt who is out of 1m/8.5f winner; no impact in four runs so far but he made some late headway when third on nursery debut here (7f) 12 days ago; that was eyecatching and he looks interesting on this step up in trip. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Placed on each of three starts, most recently over this C&D (fourth won next time); blinkers fitted for handicap debut but could have been better drawn. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown some ability with his couple of third-place finishes at Epsom (7f); may show improvement switched to this sphere, being a brother to a triple AW winner; interesting contender. |
5/1 |

2 (3) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
15,000gns yearling; ran well for a long way when third of six on C&D debut (good to soft) last month, but he has plenty to find in this stronger race and could be one for further down the line. |
