27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |

His four wins have all come over 6f on the AW and he's 0-10 on turf; having a rare start over 5f tonight and will need to improve on recent efforts. |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All four wins have been over 6f on the AW, the most recent at Kempton in March; below his best on turf in recent starts but did have an excuse (saddle slipped) at Bath four days ago; best watched. |

9st 9lb |
All four wins have been on AW over 6f; below form back on turf on his last two starts and blinkers worn for the first time, at Chepstow 15 days ago, are persevered with; best to wait until he returns to AW. |

Well held in 7f Thirsk handicap this month on his first start for Ewan Whillans, taking his record to 0-23. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Won Kempton classified (7f, Polytrack) in March and, after five unplaced runs, he returned to form with convincing handicap win at 20-1 at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; bang there if backing up that latest effort. |
9/2 |

1st 9 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a classified race at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in March but he hasn't come up to scratch on his five starts since and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Serial slow-starter who has won seven times over 6f/7f on the AW; held in handicaps lately, but the return to this level offers hope and he's capable of playing a part if things pan out his way. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Finished a solid second at Chelmsford (5f Class 6) on his last two starts and his turn looks near; back up in grade but receives weight all round and remains favourably treated on plenty of form; not dismissed. |

3rd 10 (11) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner early last year when trained by Phil McEntee and his other success came on the AW at Southwell in October; reported to have lost both shoes when fifth at Newbury (6f, good to firm) nine days ago and may come on for that first start since January; cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
He's on a competitive mark on last October's good AW form but he went off the boil subsequently and this is his first start since January; unproven on turf; needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Back to winning ways at Southwell last October, his second run for this yard, when coming from off the pace to win a 6f Class 6 in good style; runner-up at Wolverhampton two days later but two runs since haven't been quite so good; others appeal more. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Eight-race maiden who was safely held on first three starts for current stable, most recently when fifth of six over C&D a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely and it's very hard to predict whether the addition of blinkers will have a positive effect today. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
17th Feb 2026 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't proved any more tractable for the addition of a hood on her last two starts, dropping away in handicaps here (8.6f) and at Chelmsford (6f); continues to edge down the weights and the new tongue-tie could help. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Some promise in three handicap runs, including her stable debut last month (8.6f, raced too freely), and this return to 6f should suit; others have more obvious claims though. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win at 7f on turf as 2yo but showed bright early speed back at 5f when losing out late over C&D in March; others might press for the lead here but he's on the same reduced mark; can go well from rail draw. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dropped 15lb in five runs for new trainer since September; looks quick enough to cope with the shorter trip and Ryan Kavanagh takes off a valuable 5lb; better can be expected today. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Yet to fire for current stable; dropping down the weights but vulnerable in a useful race of its type. |

15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Finished second in a 6f fillies' handicap at Wolverhampton last February when rated 4lb higher; not shone in two runs after an absence but down in the weights and the addition of a visor could give her a lift. |
9/1 |
