2nd 3 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Much improved when an easy winner at Wolverhampton (5f) in February but well below par in Chantilly Listed race (5.5f) and handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) since; no surprise to see him bounce back here. |
7/1 |

22th 10 (20) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice on Tapeta over the winter, notably a runaway defeat of Fortification (who is now 8lb higher) at Wolverhampton in February; down the field in a Listed event at Chantilly (5.5f, heavy) in March; unlikely to dominate this field and others are preferred. |

17th Feb 2026 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all in a 6f novice at Southwell in good style on his stable debut in December; creditable efforts in handicaps since and returning to 5f shouldn't be an issue; not discounted. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has maintained his consistency by posting form figures of 143, all in sprints at York, since joining current stable; beat Stargazed by half a length on the first occasion and ran well, despite a tricky draw the way things panned out, in notable handicap most recently; very solid claims. |

3rd 15 (22) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Came with a storming run from the rear to win at 40-1 here (5f, good) last month on his stable debut, and again finished strongly when 1l fourth of 16 here (5f, good) eight days later; he could improve further for this first crack at 6f and is high on the list. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Sprang a 40-1 C&D surprise last week on first start since leaving Archie Watson, finishing fast to lead late on; now 4lb higher but he hasn't had much racing and there may be better still to come. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
6f AW winner in November (form solid) and several good placed runs followed; he has more to prove on turf but he won't be far away if able to transfer his form back to the grass. |
9/2 |

3rd 7 (2) |
17th Feb 2026 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Took well to AW when winning a 6f nursery at Chelmsford in November; hasn't always had the rub of the green since but latest C&D second was a good run and he goes off the same mark; big player if he gets away on terms. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a Ripon maiden (5f, good) last June; highly tried in Listed events in final two juvenile runs but she's not threatened in four handicaps for new yard this season; wasn't beaten far at Goodwood last month but she needs to find more at this new trip. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
No impact in two Listed races after winning a fillies' maiden at Ripon (5f, good) for Archie Watson last June; hasn't threatened in three starts on the AW since joining this stable and has been dropped 2lb since last seen 80 days ago; others preferred. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All starts at 5f; no impact in two Listed races after winning Ripon fillies' maiden (good) for Archie Watson last term; sights lowered for this yard but form of three handicap runs on Wolverhampton's AW suggest this extra furlong will need to give her quite the boost. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who won at Newcastle (5f, AW) in January on his second stable start but slim pickings across his three runs since; upset in stalls and withdrawn at Musselburgh in June (33-1 at the time); wears a first-time hood. |
25/1 |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all on handicap debut at Newcastle (5f, AW) in January but two lesser runs have followed (5f/6f, AW) and a return to form is needed. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Experienced 3yo who was winning for third time this year when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May; short-headed at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago by one who was completing a hat-trick; major contender. |
4/1 |

2nd 6 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran well again at Windsor (6f, good to soft) next time, but failed to beat a rival at Ffos Las ten days ago and needs to bounce back. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Had a busy year but holding his form well and nothing wrong with his narrow defeat on good to soft at Windsor last time; solid claims. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip. |
15/2 |
