8th 2 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Scored off current mark on reappearance (1m2f, AW; in February) but hasn't been in the same form since, latterly back on turf, disappointing favourite returned to 1m most recently. |
13/2 |

7th 5 (9) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Reeled off a fast-ground 1m hat-trick last spring; better than ever when landing a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle on his seasonal return in February; no further progress and he drops back to 1m on a recovery mission; today's drop in grade will suit. |
6/1 |

5th 13 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Twice held off 1lb higher since making a successful return from eight months off at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February, including when behind two of these in the Rosebery; needs a resurgence and could probably do without the ground easing. |

2nd 3 (6) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Narrow C&D winner (Class 4; 12-1) in November and, broadly speaking, has acquitted himself respectably since; stamina was likely overstretched at Wolverhampton (1m4f) latest; it's interesting that Jack Callan (1-1) returns to the saddle from just 1lb above that winning mark. |
4/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
1m2f and 1m4f AW winner, including on Tapeta; backed up November's Newcastle success with a respectable third at Lingfield last month; was below that level at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) latest; drops 1lb and can be competitive if he acts at this track. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All his three wins were over 1m2f at Newcastle last October-December, easily on last occasion, but his creditable third there on latest outing suggests that the handicapper has caught up. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over C&D (Class 5) between October and December, rising 20lb in the weights; reportedly "ran flat" when only fifth of six (beaten over 12l) over C&D (Class 3) on New Year's Day; given a short break since, and this is marginally easier (a Class 4); chance. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Placed over hurdles this season and was third (albeit no match for wide-margin winner) in Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) when back on the Flat for new stable last month; respected off same mark in this easier race. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual Flat winner for Harry Eustace (1m2f, good) who also scored twice over hurdles for Jedd O'Keeffe; became very inconsistent for latter yard, however, and he was picked up for £20,000 one month ago; refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces for this stable debut. |
25/1 |

6th 2 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Failed to win during rather mixed campaign last season but last month's keeping-on second at Newcastle (2m1f, good) was a good effort and the form has been well advertised by the winner since. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and was a solid second over C&D in March; blew the start but ran respectably when fourth on turf at Chester a fortnight ago and he's handicapped to be competitive again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Captured a third success when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December but he's still 3lb higher despite going 0-12 subsequently; has run well on plenty of those occasions, and today's conditions should be fine, but others are more interesting for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept busy in 2026 and running well without winning, in the frame for the sixth time with third of nine in 1m2f Haydock handicap 19 days ago; not out of things on his Polytrack debut. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
1m2f French winner; well handicapped on his best form for Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's struggled in last four starts including two runs for new yard this year; overall record is now 1-14 and he has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
10th 1 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m2f French winner; not far away on several outings for Kevin Philippart De Foy but ended his time with that yard on a low note and tailed off on reappearance for new stable last month; now tongue tied first time. |
