18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins on AW and his turf form leaves him with more to prove; can build on recent stable debut but others look stronger for win purposes. |

5th 4 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful in his younger days and has found his level again for Ian Williams latterly, albeit he's been expensive to follow; two wins and a close third from four runs round here and remains consistent, so enters calculations for his new yard after three months off. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two 7f handicap wins on the AW, the latest over C&D in April under Charlie Tucker, but he was disappointing on the turf track here (7f) since, given that he's handled that test in the past; shade to prove this time. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (9) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to score on turf but last month he recorded his second AW win, at this track (7f); holds claims if he can reproduce his best back on turf. |

1st 6 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Often misses the break and can pull hard, so will always come with risks attached; has resumed in good form, though, latterly behind a couple of subsequent winners at Chelmsford, and is quite capable off this mark if things fall his way. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won five times at Lingfield (7f-1m) during the last AW season and was still in good form there when last seen in April; has 0-12 strike-rate on turf, though, and others in this line-up look better handicapped. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Has nothing to prove under the conditions having won five times over 7f-1m here during the winter, but they were all at Class 6 level and she may again find this sort of company a shade warm. |
28/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
She has enjoyed a productive winter for her new connections, winning five races here; last week's third (1m), while respectable, came in a lower grade against other females and she looks vulnerable today. |

Not beaten far on his last two starts but he has still finished down the field; drops in class today but others arrive in better form. |

7th 5 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Bits of form last year that bring him into the reckoning off his reduced mark; return to 1m may help but others appeal more for win purposes. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Both turf wins on soft and stepped up on more favourable conditions with two decent efforts at Ffos Las in June, latest when fifth of 12 (7.5f, soft); has place claims at least. |
9/2 |
