2nd 2 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; ran well on the second of two outings for current stable when third of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; this looks easier and he should go close, at the least. |

3rd 5 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on AW within five days in March and has perfomed just as well on turf since then; could have run better on stable debut at Sandown but this looks easier. |

9th 12 (11) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won twice on AW within five days in March and carried on his progression back on turf when second of 12 at Nottingham (also about 1m, good) in April; might have found 1m2f a slight stretch when third on his final start for George Scott and subsequently secured for 20,000gns; he's back at 1m but up in grade for this stable debut. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Far from straightforward, often pulling hard and again edging left under pressure over C&D last time; that effort proved this trip within range, though, and he's clearly happier on Tapeta than turf. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 (4) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Made the frame on his first three runs here (at up to 9.5f) this season but a below-par fifth back on turf in 1m2f Doncaster handicap 39 days ago; not out of things back here if his stamina holds out. |
12/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Fairly solid efforts in three AW handicaps last month but others have more scope for improvement on this switch back to turf. |

9st 3lb |
Exposed low-grade maiden; stamina still not conclusively proven and others bring stronger claims. |

12th 10 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Not disgraced when seventh here (8.6f) last month but yet to be placed after nine starts; soundly beaten the only previous time she wore cheekpieces (last season); difficult to enthuse over. |
33/1 |

Two uninspiring runs for her new stable and it is easy enough to look elsewhere. |

2nd 2 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Opened account at sixth attempt, with narrow AW success at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March, and was very respectable third when upped to 1m2f at Yarmouth (good to firm) last month; holds each-way claims at least. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Saddle slipped three starts ago but she made amends with a short-head win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in March; not discredited in fifth of eight here (1m, good) 19 days ago but she raced too freely and didn't shape as well as third-placed Sports Day. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Saddle slipped two starts ago but she had made an encouraging handicap debut for new yard previously and improved on it when just holding the runner-up at Wolverhampton (also about 1m) in March; up 2lb but still time for her to do better if as effective back on turf. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Beat only one rival home on his handicap debut last month and he dropped away up the straight after making a big move at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW; first-time visor) 28 days ago; makes his turf debut. |
11/1 |

4th 8 (1) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has weak form claims; always towards rear over C&D on handicap/seasonal debut; addition of visor needs to make a difference. |
14/1 |

10th 10 (10) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Down the field in three sprint novice/maiden runs in the second half of 2025; has had gelding and wind operations since last seen; steps up in trip for handicap debut and a tongue-tie is added, so there are a host of reasons to expect an improved showing. |
