27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improving type who completed a 6f AW hat-trick at Lingfield this winter; just his second run on turf when last of 17 in 5f Ascot handicap last month, but poorly drawn there and not out of things. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
His first three starts saw him well beaten over 7f but he has not looked back since dropped to 6f, winning seven times and placed on his other three runs; could only manage second at Chelmsford five weeks ago but the horse to beat him is now rated 17lb higher and that shouldn't be used as evidence he is in the handicapper's grip; more to prove back on turf and at a new trip but few arrive in better form. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism in Class 5 event at Kempton last time, taking record this year to 3-3 and overall strike-rate over 6f on AW to 7-9; he is 1-1 at Chelmsford; progressive sort who brings excellent stats and commands respect upped further in grade. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford in November and adding C&D wins on her next two starts; met trouble in her bid for a four-timer here 16 days ago; needs a career best to defy this mark but it is not out of the question. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Turf win (6f, good to firm) last summer; improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford (6f) in November and adding two C&D handicaps since; 5lb rise for latest win against fillies asks a stiffer question of her but foolish to discount in her current form. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner who went close at Lingfield (5f) in March and ran well there over 6f in April, finishing third of five (beaten a length); never got involved there 28 days ago but he could go well returned to 6f. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who came close to ending a losing AW run when a fast-closing runner-up here (5f) in March (5f); returns to this C&D for the first time since and ought to go well if the race falls his way. |

More prolific on AW than turf; arrives on the back of a solid third at Lingfield two weeks ago (6f, AW); each-way shout. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Seven wins (5f/6f), the most recent at Lingfield (6f, good) last May off a 13lb higher mark than today's; below his best 13 days ago and his stamina is a concern on his first attempt over 1m. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Solid in-frame efforts in his last two turf runs, the latest when third of nine at Yarmouth (6f, soft; for Zac Lloyd) nine days ago; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

3rd 7 (4) |

Seven wins from 47 starts, the most recent success coming at Lingfield (6f, good) last May off an 11lb higher mark; respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago and now needs to build on that. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Back to form with a 6f win at Southwell in December but he has followed it with two lesser efforts; tries new headgear this afternoon. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Patchy form of late, last month's Southwell success (6f, Tapeta) surrounded by lesser efforts; still to convince over this far as well. |

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. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

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. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins in 2025, including C&D, but rather going through the motions this time around; showed a bit more spark with his front-running sixth at Kempton in May; on a manageable mark and the type to come good again soon. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins in a purple patch in the second half of 2025; now 5lb lower than for his last success but he's struggled at big prices in five runs this year and needs to turn things around; one of two runners for the yard. |
