15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Hard to predict; followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago, only to run poorly again at Haydock last week; just 2lb higher than for the win but can't be relied on. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) last Saturday under Seamus Cronin, capitalising on some leniency from the handicapper; nudged back up only 2lb; has possibilities if on another going day. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
6lb below his last winning mark and does have form on soft ground, but he finished behind four of these over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start and a record of 1-24 on turf does pose a question. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW, including C&D; last won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January; not so good on turf of late but he's dangerously handicapped if the switch back to AW prompts a revival. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Five of his six wins have been on the AW but consistent handicapper on all surfaces and ran well in a Class 3 at Doncaster latest (7f; fine at 1m); thereabouts. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Generally in good form, mostly on AW, for current stable and latest effort is best forgiven (race didn't pan out favourably); not disgraced in most recent turf attempt but is still seeking a first success in this sphere and is somewhat hostage to fortune the way he races. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Both wins have been on AW and he went close in his bid for a double at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; never involved back on turf at Ascot in May but he started slowly and was hampered at a crucial stage; now goes back up in grade but he has possibilities back on Tapeta. |
15/2 |

5th 4 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2-16 but his third trainer has him in career-best form and didn't get the breaks when a closing fourth at Newcastle last time (1m); hold-up performer who needs a good pace to chase and if getting one he'll be dangerous. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent sort who made it 1-20 on turf (that grass win came here in 2yo campaign) when well beaten at Royal Ascot last month; however, two starts ago he was a close sixth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) when he was denied a clear run, and he's not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
18th 12 (18) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Eye-catcher, amid traffic issues, in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time; form over C&D comprises a respectable eighth (off current mark) in this contest last year and creditable third (did well having been hampered) later in 2025; still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf, however. |
22/1 |
|
6th 4 (15) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Three fine efforts on AW to start the year but his run of good form came to a halt when well behind Blue Rc at Newcastle over Easter; acts on turf but has a much better strike-rate on AW; drawn widest. |

Signed off for 2025 with a third C&D success in September but he's yet to fire this season, last of 14 over C&D in April; has it to prove after a break. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins have been on Newcastle AW but he's still lightly raced on turf; finished in mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f) last time but he was runner-up in a Class 3 there (1m, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back up in trip. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has gained all wins on Newcastle AW, the most recent on finals day last year; however, ran well at Ascot (1m, good to firm) returned to turf last time, taking form figures in this sphere to 3232; seems effective over 7f and may remain competitive. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over this trip at Kempton (Polytrack) and Newcastle (Tapeta) in November; fair third of seven behind two of these at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; each-way claims down another 1lb if taking to this track at the first time of asking. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Game effort to win at Kempton in November (1m) and followed up off the same mark at Newcastle eight days later; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he forms part of a strong hand for Ian Williams. |
8/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m at Kempton and Newcastle in November; good third back at Kempton last month and not disgraced in Newcastle Class 2 with cheekpieces added (left off now) a fortnight ago; handily drawn for a prominent racer and needs considering back in a lower grade. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |

A well-treated dual Tapeta winner at Newcastle who ran in a Class 2 there last time but that was his third below-par performance in succession; has to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |

Won a Racing League handicap over C&D last summer off 2lb lower; not so good twice since and a personal best is required to maintain his unbeaten record over C&D. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (9) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Encouraging third at Sandown (1m, good) in July on second handicap start then beat 13 rivals to win in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, AW), where he reverted to hold-up tactics; he's a leading candidate today. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner who was runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but has been lightly raced since; his keeping-on fifth of 12 over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April suggests most of that ability remains but he failed to build on it tackling 1m2f for the first time when fourth at Redcar (good to firm) four weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn at Redcar are retained. |
13/2 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f) in September 2024 and he's raced just four times since; denied clear run when keeping on for fifth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) recently and the return to 1m2f is worth a go; could have a part to play in first-time cheekpieces. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins at about 1m and finished runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire, but lightly raced since; not beaten far into fourth of ten at Kempton (1m, AW) last time, but still 5lb above his last winning mark and doesn't look solid back from another short break; stable also runs Noche Clasica. |
