31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Usually races prominently; won four of his six starts for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) in April; has excuses for the two defeats, on latest occasion fifth of 17 in the 2m2f Chester Plate despite the work he had to do to front-run from wide draw; one to note. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; getting hampered at the start prevented his usual prominent ride on penultimate outing but he's otherwise swept all before him for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) 12 days ago; has 3lb penalty (the same as he's due to go up anyway) but wide draw is the chief worry. |

Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; 3-3 on AW (1m6f/2m) last month upon joining this stable, before a lesser show three weeks ago when getting hampered at the start prevented his usual tactics; not ruled out on return to turf. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Richard Fahey; seven-time AW winner, including two over C&D early last year; off the mark for current trainer at Wolverhampton last time (1m6f; form fair); up 2lb; should go well again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, including one over C&D; runner-up to a progressive rival at Southwell (1m6f) on her stable debut in March and was a bit better than the bare result here over 1m4f 17 days ago having been short of room at a crucial stage; back up in trip. |

6-38, the bulk of them for Stella Barclay; with Richard Fahey for some of 2025, winning over 1m4f here (3lb lower) last September; runner-up to progressive rival at Southwell (1m6f) latest on debut for this trainer; a possible. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Easily best effort in four maiden/novice hurdles last season when second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); did manage back-to-back wins over 2m on the Flat at Catterick last May but more recent AW Flat efforts have been no more than respectable. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |

Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 but runner-up on two occasions this year, including here over 1m6f in January; beat only one of his four rivals home over this C&D eight days ago but left the impression a stiffer test of stamina would have suited; cheekpieces added. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Very pleasing second, behind one who readily followed up next time, over the extended 2m at Newcastle in January; passed up a good opportunity next time and looked awkward under pressure latest (both 1m6f here); others preferred. |
13/2 |

5th 7 (2) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who is going the right way for his current yard, runner-up in handicaps at Newcastle (2m) and over C&D in January; the form of both those races has been well advertised since so he holds excellent claims in his bid for a breakthrough success. |

9st 8lb |
2-28, with the second of those wins coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last April; left the impression he could be worth another go at this trip when fifth at that track over 1m6f 37 days ago; each-way contender. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
2-27 overall, with the second win here (1m4f) last April; three seconds over 1m2f-2m in the autumn, form which he's not quite matched this year but he still has a place squeak. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |
