10th 10 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Recorded his second success, at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March off this mark, but has been beaten 43l, 58l and 27l since; first-time blinkers need to have a significant impact. |
50/1 |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
50-1 winner over 1m here (first start since wind surgery) in March; has failed to beat a rival in two subsequent starts, tailed off (beaten 58l) at Doncaster six weeks ago; difficult to know what to expect. |
33/1 |

14th 4 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Tapeta winner, including at 50-1 in March on his first start since wind surgery; tailed off on turf at the same price early last month, since when he's been gelded; a shock to see him take this. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Remains a maiden after nine starts but he's been runner-up in two handicaps (including on turf) and was a close third at Newcastle (1m, AW) most recently; every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |

2nd 3 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First run for this yard when third in a Class 5 at Newmarket (1m) and then comfortably justified odds of 8-11 in a Class 6 at Brighton (7f, good to firm); 5lb higher here even with a 6lb penalty and probably the one to beat. |

1st 4 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back to form when third of seven on his stable debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last Friday; should go well again. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 9 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
0-7 but he's shown enough at 1m on the AW to think there's a race in him and perhaps the first-time hood (now discarded) allied to good to soft ground combined against him back on turf at Ripon in April; sold for 8,000gns since; worth a look on debut for new yard. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a successful reappearance/handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March, but hasn't really kicked on since; something to prove now making his turf debut in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
11th 8 (9) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from five months off to make a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March, but hasn't built on it albeit not disgraced when fourth of 12 here (7f) last month; return to this trip not sure to suit. |
9/1 |

4th 6 (12) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Emphatically got off the mark at Newcastle (7f) on his return but he went too freely when only seventh (6-5 favourite) in 1m handicap there later in March; he's worth another chance dropped back in trip. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
50-1 when narrowly landing a Newcastle nursery (7f, AW) in November, but not matched that form in three starts since returning in April, including when attracting market support over C&D last month. |
12/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Handed a 4lb rise for his shock Tapeta winner late last year (only decent effort thus far) and has finished well held in two runs back; will need to improve a deal on last year's turf work but this is easier. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner for previous yard; has achieved little on turf, latterly in two starts for new stable; enough to prove. |

8th 8 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won 7f/1m2f AW handicaps for Nigel Tinkler last year but has finished tailed off on all three starts this term, including back on turf for new yard 16 days ago. |
