5th 7 (5) |
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. |
7/2 |
|
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 |
9st 4lb |
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. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
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. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't pan out for him when back over 6f here in April (first-time visor; cheekpieces now refitted) but he has a good C&D record, winning once and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Went close here (7f) on his penultimate run but he's not easy to predict and was well held when favourite at Thirsk (7f, good) last Friday; needs to step up again after that and all of his three wins have been over 7f; first-time visor. |

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. |
11/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
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) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

0-16 (includes turf) but has gone close a couple of times on AW; wore this headgear combination when fourth at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) under Hope Regan three weeks ago. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Four course wins, three of them over this trip, and she's well handicapped on form as recent as March; flopped on turf seven weeks ago but this should be more suitable. |
8/1 |
|
13th 9 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Her last four wins have been at this track and latest was off 1lb lower over C&D last June; mixed results in three runs this year but she had traffic issues last time and was placed here (6f) on her penultimate run; in the mix. |

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. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Best efforts come over C&D, including a surprise win off 2lb lower last August; absent for three months since an ordinary AW comeback but plenty of rain would suit and it wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign in good form over the extended 7f at Ffos Las, recording an account-opening win prior to a respectable effort; the question is whether he can transfer the ability to AW on reappearance. |
12/1 |
|
2 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His two best efforts have come here, the latest when narrowly getting off the mark over C&D (good) five weeks ago (third has won since); has run well on soft ground and shortlisted up 3lb. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
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. |
16/1 |

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 |

Losing run stretches back to December 2023; not beaten far at Newcastle in November (7f) but that is flanked by lesser efforts; blinkers back on today but others appeal more. |

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. |
