11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Expertly placed to reel off a seven-timer on AW earlier in the year; winning spree came to an end at Wolverhampton in March and he returns to turf (1-13) off a tough mark. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Forced to challenge widest of all last time at Windsor so forget that; she's a consistent maiden but whether she wants slowish ground is questionable (withdrawn the once on account of such conditions). |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent maiden who's had plenty of chances in handicaps and often been turned over at short prices; won't mind being back on turf and tonight's big field should suit her come-from-behind style, though, and she looks set to go well again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Still a maiden after 12 starts but she has finished second on her last four outings, including over C&D; no obvious reason why she wouldn't give her running once again. |

Dual C&D winner (made all both times), including when beating Travel Agent in April; below his best on turf next time but he's been placed on the AW in both starts since; contender. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoying a consistent year, winning twice from the front at Kempton since the blinkers went on (doesn't have to lead); nothing wrong with his clear second at Southwell a month ago and holds decent claims despite a further 2lb rise. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got the better of a rival who has won twice since when scoring at Kempton three weeks ago (6f); not in the same form at Nottingham last time but it was 5f and he had an inexperienced apprentice on board; high on the list back at 6f and returned to AW. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not a straightforward customer but he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp success at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 12 days ago; has a penalty but he won off a higher mark at Doncaster last spring and he looks worth another try at this trip; dangerous. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (6) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not a straightforward customer but he has plenty of ability for one operating at this level; back to form with a second of eight over 5f here eight weeks ago; no problem with the sixth furlong and he is more appealing than many. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointed as favourite in a 6f handicap here six weeks ago but he is well handicapped on his 3yo best and he was notably short in the betting prior to being withdrawn at Doncaster last month (bolted to post); headstrong sort but more than capable of playing a role if not overdoing it in the preliminaries. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole success on turf came in 2023 when trained by Craig Lidster; has win three times since on AW and left Ivan Furtado last month; unplaced in three runs for current yard and doesn't look ready to capitalise on career-low mark. |
8/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Bagged a pair of 6f Wolverhampton handicaps for Ivan Furtado last autumn; ended his time with that yard below his best though and he's fared no better in 5f/6f Chepstow handicaps for his new handler recently. |
25/1 |

8th 7 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

A fair 6f scorer for Ivan Furtado in 2025; changed hands for 2,000gns before coming in just tenth for new yard in 6f handicap here 16 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well on his stable debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) in February but hamstrung by slow starts on his next three starts; further blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Windsor in May; well backed back at Windsor (5f, good to firm) ten days ago and again not foot perfect leaving the stalls but he overcame some adversity (stumbled early and had to be switched in the straight) to win going away; little doubt he has the ability to defy his penalty but there are risks attached. |
100/30 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

On a competitive mark on form as recent as February but he got loose and was withdrawn before the start here early last month, and refused to race here subsequently; comes with risks attached. |

Ex-Irish gelding who's got into the habit of fluffing the start for this yard, which also saddles Rye; can pull hard too and comes with risks, returned to turf and going without the hood tonight. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time AW winner; 0-5 for new stable since February but put in a good front-running shift before fading into fourth behind No Gain here (7.6f, good) last month; each-way claims if handing the forecast slower ground. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently. |
