14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Serial hard-puller who scored for regular partner Jude Fernandes over C&D in February; will always come with risks attached but should get a good pace this time and the return here will help. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Sprung a 25-1 surprise at Lingfield last month and caught the eye with a power-packed finish from too far back when fourth there (also 1m) 18 days ago; that suggests his mark is still workable. |

4th 1 (8) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Sprung a 25-1 surprise over C&D last week (Way To Dubai fourth) when staying on well in the closing stages; not sure to be in the same form again but he is unexposed at a mile and will be a danger to all if in the same form. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A five-time AW winner, he shaped as if in need of the run when fourth on his first turf Flat run since 2023 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last month; this should put him right for an AW campaign this autumn. |
9/1 |

4th 12 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
AW regular whose only turf run since 2023 was over hurdles; gave good account when midfield in valuable Lingfield handicap (1m4f) on Good Friday but doesn't look the percentage call on first start for 169 days. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Still 5lb above his last winning mark and all five wins have come over 1m on the AW, including two here; hard to recommend over this trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Stays 1m but all eight of his wins have come over 7f, the latest at Kempton 18 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims again. |
11/2 |

1st 7 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Better effort when fourth of ten at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) this month and now 2lb below his last winning mark, but he is just 1-42 in Britain. |
6/1 |

4th 10 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Low-key run at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; return to a longer trip is in his favour but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

11th 12 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Lingfield (1m, AW) in January; up and down since that success and could prove vulnerable back sprinting. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-13 since a winning debut for Karl Burke; did go close off 5lb higher for this yard at Chelmsford in March (1m) but quiet in subsequent runs. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten 12 times since his winning debut (for Karl Burke); went close at Chelmsford in March but two runs since have been underwhelming; tongue-tie now reached for. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won since his debut in February last year when trained by Karl Burke; went close when beaten a nose at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and if he can reproduce that effort on turf then he would be a player. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and kept on well for second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good; refitted tongue-tie) 11 days ago; may still have a bigger run in him; good chance. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won six times on the Flat for James Owen between 1m-1m2f; 0-4 over hurdles although he was in the process of running a good race until making a costly error two out on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) in June; makes stable debut and should run well. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Windsor handicap (11.5f) last May, but he's generally struggled since, including never involved in two 1m course handicaps in recent weeks; this trip is more suitable but would need to see market support to consider. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) last May, but he's generally struggled since and was never involved on stable debut over C&D last month; has something to prove and he's still 3lb higher than for his win. |
20/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won on turf in the spring and was creditable second of 14 here (1m3f) in first-time blinkers in June; clearly wasn't himself when struggling here last month, after a break, and has a big role to play if back on song in first-time visor. |
