27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work. |

1st 2 (2) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Went close over this sort of trip on AW in March but, after a successful stable debut at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) in June, he raced too freely (a regular trait) when well beaten by Gooloogong back there three weeks ago; hood goes on for the first time for this yard, which looks a smart move. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number 11 when coming clear at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) on his debut for Tony Carroll; effective on faster ground and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he's turned a corner. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 2f 98y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Notched back-to-back 2m wins at Newcastle (Class 5) and here (Class 4) last September; unable to justify strong market support - weakened from the furlong pole - on return from a four-month absence at Newcastle (2m; 7-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; may strip fitter and has a stamina-packed pedigree. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 11 (11) |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 57y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Progressive; made the breakthrough at Southwell (1m6f) in July; saw off Weddell Sea to win over C&D (by just over 4l) in September, before edging out Sax Appeal at Southwell (2m, Class 4) a fortnight later; this mark (2lb higher) is far from punitive if she is ready to roll off a 151-day break. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Has done well since stepping up to staying trips on Tapeta, winning here (1m6f) in July and at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) 13 days ago; not at her best when behind Sax Appeal and Zealandia at the latter track in between, but she remains open to further progress as a 3yo; respected. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
He's enjoying a very good season and gained a third win when scoring at Carlisle (2m1f) in July; came in a clear second of four in 2m Newcastle AW handicap 23 days ago; very much one to consider. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Struggled at York in July after winning his previous start by a wide margin at Carlisle (2m1f, good), but got back on track with a solid effort at Newmarket last time; he's 2-2 over this C&D, both coming earlier this year, and has to be considered. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (2m, AW) early this year and another at Carlisle (2m1f, good) last month; struggled at York last time but he had a wide draw and was badly hampered at a crucial stage; can put a line through that and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Stuck on a long losing run and has been pretty much tailed off in his last two races (2m4f/3m2f); reduced mark offers some hope. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Has gone 34 races since he last won three years ago but steps up in trip on a career-low mark in this sphere; may well show more. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Six AW wins include two here; another creditable effort at this venue when third over this trip in July but he was tailed off back here last month. |
20/1 |

11th 9 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Six AW wins include two here and it was at this venue where he was headed late on over C&D a month ago; he did have the run of things up front that day, though. |

3rd 3 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in January but his more recent form is far less encouraging, last of nine at Chester (2m) last time; others are preferred. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Exploited his fall in the weights to win from off the pace at Chester (1m6f, good) and York (2m, good to firm) in July; failed to get competitive at Musselburgh (2m2f) on latest outing; visor returned for those last three starts; remains well treated on his old form. |
5/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player. |
11/2 |

1st 10 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb. |

9st 10lb |
Multiple winner, mostly at about 2m and is 1lb higher than when scoring over C&D in March; matched that effort back here next time, before a below-par effort on soft at Haydock latest; will be a player if bouncing back. |
15/2 |

5th 3 (2) |
21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Kempton (2m, AW) in March and solid third there (2m, AW) last month; rarely seen on turf nowadays but he was effective on grass early in his career (particularly on slow ground); visor replaces cheekpieces; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Comfortably made all in a small field at Newbury (2m, good) in April and he's also effective on soft ground; however, he's been tailed off on both starts since and needs to get back on track following a break. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |

Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham last year, latest in August; close third over same C&D last time and worth considering. |

3rd 4 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |
