29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year; he was returning from a three-month break when weakening over 2m at Catterick this month and drops back down in trip today, but he has to prove he's fully effective on turf. |
20/1 |

8th 4 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year and he may have been ready for a break when below par in February when last seen; 0-12 on turf and he needs to transfer his improvement back to grass, but he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (1) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he's won four of his last five including an apprentice handicap over C&D on Saturday; escapes a penalty for that success and he pulled 8l clear with the runner-up; major player again in his bid for a four-timer. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again. |

3rd 10 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just 3-44 but she is consistent and has winning form over C&D; was returning from 87 days off when beaten about 4l into fourth of 11 behind Moon Over The Sea here last month and should finish closer on 5lb better terms; new headgear combination. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent mare who posted a good third of eight to Belle Amie in 1m4f classified event at Wolverhampton in February; this C&D winner needs considering. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Infrequent winner but she's been placed on numerous occasions for current yard, including when third in a Southwell handicap (1m6f) last time; could well again back in trip and she's in the mix for in-form yard. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Didn't run badly in a low-grade Flat marathon last month but he ended the last jumps season with two disappointing runs (both 2m4f) and has a bit more to prove than some of these. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well beaten over hurdles on his last two starts but hasn't run badly on his last two Flat outings (1m4f/2m, AW) and his trainer has won two of the last six runnings of this race; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Scored twice over hurdles (at about 2m4f) in 2024-25 but has failed to fire this term and beat just two in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap hurdle ten days ago; others appeal more. |

9st 7lb |
Yet to be placed after 11 starts and he's been beaten around 9l in two runs at Southwell (1m3f/1m6f) this winter; down the list. |
11/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Unplaced in all ten starts, most recently a well-beaten ninth of ten in a 1m3f classified event here; hard to recommend. |
10/1 |

18th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Unable to land a telling blow on either start for new stable (1m6f/1m2f) and now 0-8 overall; dropped another 3lb since last time but still needs to raise his game. |

Dual winner but 0-11 for current yard and essentially regressive; off since January. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this. |
11/2 |
|
3 (5) |
15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Yet to add to his 1m4f AW win in March 2023 and has had several chances off lowly marks this year; difficult to enthuse over. |

29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |

AW winner over 1m4f in 2023 but he's been big prices and well held in 2025; major turnaround needed. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Poor Flat form for David Loughnane; little to shout about in two hurdle runs for current stable, the latest nine days ago; enough to prove. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Modest efforts from 8.5f to 1m4f on AW; may fare better on turf/handicap debut. |
33/1 |
|
4 (6) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Blew the start at Windsor (1m2f, good) on debut but beaten more than double the distance when hooded at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) one week later, at 150-1 in both; best watched for the time being. |
