18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won three handicaps at Lingfield (1m4f-1m5f, AW) this winter; never a threat when fourth back on turf at Windsor last month; others hold stronger claims. |
14/1 |

4th 6 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
20/1 |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 1m4f/1m5f here and Taryn Langley gets on well with him, but he has never attempted this far before and he must put an uncharacteristically poor effort at Newcastle 13 days ago behind him. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
3-15 on AW (last two wins were at this track) compared to 0-4 on turf; in good form at 1m4f on AW initially this year, including a second under Taryn Langley; there was a dip in April when last seen but it's easy to see him returning in a major role for his in-form yard. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Southwell (1m4f) in February and bettering that form when beaten 1l by Son Of Man over C&D 24 days ago; enjoys a 2lb weights pull now so he's a likely player. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 for new stable, winning at Goodwood (1m4f, good; cheekpieces first time) before getting the better Epictetus over C&D last month; came unstuck at York in his hat-trick bid and this looks a competitive race in which to get back on track. |
20/1 |

8th 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Represents a new trainer in excellent form and has won at Goodwood (1m4f, good) and Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) on his last two outings, proving himself better than ever; edging up the weights only gradually and in the mix again. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last month but found out off 3lb higher at Yarmouth since, albeit another creditable effort. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Can lead; course winner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; a 3lb rise for that success still leaves him well treated on old form. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a long losing run but he comes here in good nick, third of 11 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap four days ago; his best recent form is on the AW though. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Kempton (1m4f) last May but he's been regressive since and was tailed off over C&D last time; record is now 1-12 and he needs a big turnaround. |

6th 8 (5) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Kempton (1m4f) last May but his more recent form is far less encouraging, beating only one home in his last three starts; has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular hood. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

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. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
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. |
