5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first five handicaps, soaring up the weights and now rated 39lb higher than for his first success; the handicapper may now have caught up judged on his last two starts; needs to resume progress after ten weeks off. |
12/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Form took off once handicapping in a tongue tie and his impressive C&D win on Good Friday, his fifth on the bounce, was off 32lb higher than the first; progress ground to a halt on turf last month but not out of the question the return to AW will perk him back up. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 5-5, all over 6f/7f on AW this year, since handicapping; registered the latest success on finals day at Newcastle; major contender, assuming his tremendous progress can be sustained back on turf. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Fair maiden who went too freely tried in cheekpieces when last of ten in 7f Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; could bounce back now the headgear is dispensed with. |
8/1 |

10th 9 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
No improvement for handicapping yet but she has finished third in three of her last four starts; cheekpieces now added but when tried in blinkers she pulled hard and was well beaten. |

3rd 4 (6) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed over 7f-1m at Southwell in two of her five starts; reportedly ran too freely in newly applied blinkers (discarded now) at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; it's back to basics now. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has improved since joining this yard in the spring and was recording a third win for connections when scoring at Haydock (7f, good) in August; two more placed efforts since and a must for the shortlist under Henry Callan. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
He has improved since joining this yard in the spring and was recording a third win for connections when scoring at Haydock (7f, good) one month ago; came up against another in-form rival when beaten 6l off this mark last time, but he likes to force the issue and this track might suit; can give it a good go. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In cracking form since joining this yard and he was winning his third race from his last four starts when always in command at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; goes up another 5lb but he's progressing well. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Came good over 6f at Pontefract in the spring; mostly creditable efforts since but faded a bit too far out to blame lack of stamina alone over 1m at Southwell on Thursday. |
4/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent and is well drawn for one happiest up front; respected at this lower level but his stamina just gave way on his first crack at 1m a fortnight ago; will need to settle better if he's to see it out. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (2) |
1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Should be sharper for last month's return from a short break but his best form has come over shorter trips and others may have greater reserves of stamina. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Stepped forward from his first two efforts when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in October; subsequently gelded but he pulled too hard on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW; hooded) 61 days ago; drops back in trip with the hood removed. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
280,000euros yearling; failed to shine in three novice/maiden events, albeit faring a bit better over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton (6f; fourth, 20-1) in October last time; gelded and fitted with a hood (usually races freely) for handicap debut; perhaps has simply needed time. |
7/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Down the field in two 7f turf runs last month; showed speed last time but still not sure to benefit from this drop in trip on paper. |
