28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not the easiest to predict but came from off the pace for a second career win on his first visit to Wolverhampton in March (7f; 2lb lower); breakthrough win in January was over C&D. |

1st 4 (3) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-16 on AW, the success admittedly gained in clearcut style at Southwell in January; a possible danger on that form but has been nowhere near it otherwise this year; not a solid option. |
16/1 |

9th 10 (6) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Gained his first success for this yard in fine style over C&D last month but he never featured from off the pace here behind Fools Rush In following a 7lb rise 15 days ago; may be capable of bouncing back. |

9st 10lb |
In good form over 7f, winning at Wolverhampton in June and placed at Carlisle and Catterick since; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb; drop in trip not ideal but this looks likely to be run at a strong pace. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Consistent on AW this year and was nudged up only 2lb for his win in refitted cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f) a fortnight ago; also suited by turf; respected. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has largely consistent form, close fourth at Leicester (7f) most recently; however, he's the only maiden in this field and chance of winning partly depends on the effects of added tongue-tie. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Is 0-9 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 6f handicap here 26 days ago; in the mix back up to 7f now. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Couple of decent efforts under aggressive Harry Vigors rides in 7.2f Wolverhampton handicaps since the cheekpieces went on; first crack at sprinting on his turf debut and is one to consider. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has done most of his AW racing on Wolverhampton Tapeta but he's run his two best races on Kempton Polytrack (7f), going close in February and breaking his duck last month; back up 4lb; a likely contender on course debut. |
7/2 |
|
1st 10 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent maiden who's 3lb lower than when beaten a neck over C&D in February; continued in form since, the last twice for an inexperienced 7lb claimer, and is one to consider. |
5/1 |

6th 15 (9) |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player. |

7th 8 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four AW wins (all at Wolverhampton) to her name; arrives on the back of a good win at Ayr (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and should be fine at this track; one to consider under her penalty. |
6/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
A dual 6f/7f AW winner in 2025; only eighth of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago, and she's not proving easy to catch right this season. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended his time with James Owen with a couple of lesser efforts and he could only manage a midfield finish here (7f, soft) on last month's stable debut; dropping down the weights but others are stronger. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Poor strike-rate; eventually lost his form during spring spell with James Owen and was sold for 2,200gns since last run; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |
16/1 |

8th 6 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been threatening for his current yard this spring but a couple of expensive defeats latterly; goes back to the visor from blinkers and, while capable off this mark, his strike-rate doesn't inspire. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now back on same mark as for narrow C&D (good) win just over a year ago but this season's record is unconvincing (last month's C&D third of four came in a tactical contest) and he refused to race here 17 days ago. |
16/1 |

2 (9) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Got off the mark when landing this equivalent race (good) last August off 1lb lower; hasn't been beaten far twice over C&D this summer and cannot dismiss. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

Got off the mark at the ninth attempt over C&D last August; yet to hit top form this summer, although saddle reportedly slipped when sixth of eight over C&D four weeks ago; not out of things. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Fairly useful on his day but is on a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; a regular at Newcastle and rarely seen at Wolverhampton. |

6th 6 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Losing run stretches back to December 2023; ran okay over C&D in November off a 7lb higher mark but he hasn't built on it since. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark for James Owen at the 14th attempt when leading late on in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; returning to 7f no problem but a 4lb higher mark in a higher grade does ask more of him. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of near-misses to go with his only win, which came over 7.2f here off a 7lb higher mark last autumn; latest effort can be ignored but the emphasis will be more on speed, running in a sprint for the first time in a while. |
6/1 |
|
10th 10 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 0-12 for current yard but his form over this C&D includes sole success, which was gained off 9lb higher last October, and an encouraging effort (finished second) on Friday; fighting chance provided he belies recent inconsistency. |

Half-brother to six winners including Sakhee's Return (5.8f-7f including 2yo; RPR 93), Jackpot Royale (7f-1m; 91), Be Royale (6f-8.6f including AW; 79), Queens Royale (7f AW; 75) and Must Be Royale (7f AW; 70); once-raced dam (56) out of 1m Group 3 winner; family has won plenty of races for the yard, but stable only has the occasional winning newcomer; watch market. |
