10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His progress for James Owen has been quite a story, winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December off a 40lb lower mark; fine second-place finishes on his last two runs and still seems to be improving; each-way shout. |
7/1 |

2nd 9 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won four in a row on AW earlier this year and beaten less than 1l when fourth of 11 at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in May; went even closer when runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has solid claims. |

Completed a four-time on the AW at Lingfield (1m) in March; has continued in good nick on turf, fourth of 11 in 7.5f Beverley handicap three weeks ago; ought to be thereabouts. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
In good form on the AW this year including two wins over 6f; 0-12 on turf, but has gone close on a couple of occasions and should have no problem with this sharp 7f; player. |
4/1 |
|
5th 7 (2) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up performer who was successful over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month; proved himself at 7f when his strong finish only just failed to reel in the thriving Goldmoyne (won three times since) back at Southwell last time; it's likely he's still on a good mark. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Competitive coming from off the pace over 6f on all five starts this year, winning in clearcut style at Wolverhampton and Southwell on last two occasions; he's now getting close to his career-best form, with more to prove on this third attempt (first on AW) at 7f but he's been finishing well. |

9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |

11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |
5/1 |

6th 4 (11) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, but had previously narrowly beaten the winner of that race over this C&D; drawn wide, but still respected if bouncing back now returned here. |

Snapped a losing sequence a fortnight ago at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) where benefiting from the strong pace to collar Anthropologist close home; unexposed at today's trip and a 3lb rise isn't harsh; he's one to consider. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not particularly solid on his AW form (at up to 9.5f) for current stable; gained sole win on turf (6f; off 3lb higher) but has something to prove over this new trip. |

7th 7 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

6f win for George Scott on turf last summer; edging down the weights for current stable while suggesting he retains a fair level of ability; Rossa Ryan replaces an apprentice this time; not discounted. |

0-13 on AW and 0-11 for current yard, runner-up both starts here; largely consistent this autumn/winter at Kempton and Newcastle but others are more persuasive for the win. |

5th 2 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 0-12 on AW and 0-10 for current yard but he has proved largely consistent at Kempton since returned to this sphere; frame possibilities if staying at the same level and win possibilities on best form. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (11) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Losing run up to 16 but much better when third of 12 over C&D last month; that race has produced winners since and he races off the same mark, but the outside stall presents a problem; blinkers return. |

Well short of his best since joining this yard, only beating a handful of runners home in his four runs in 2026; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |

Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |

9st 4lb |
Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners). |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Triple AW winner who showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton in March and he went close back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; 2lb higher here but he was a well-backed favourite last time and he remains very well treated on old form; big player. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last March on his second start but has beaten only one rival in three handicaps since; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation at this new trip; cheekpieces added. |
