31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Was having his first start since wind surgery when winning over 1m here in March, but the wheels have come off completely since; best watched for now. |
50/1 |

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 |

12th 6 (4) |
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. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from break with two underwhelming 7f turf runs last month and is now 0-12 but might have needed the first outing and the ground was heavy last time; returns to Tapeta on a good mark; might fare better this time. |
13/2 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-11 but he's on a handy mark judged on his form early this year and he may have needed the outing when mid-division at Redcar (7f, good) three weeks ago following a five-month break; has shown some promise on soft ground; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
7th 11 (16) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win in ten runs, but placed on five occasions, including last time when third at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; also a close third off this mark at Newcastle the time before; possibilities if he's ready to go after a break. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has improved since joining this yard in the spring and was recording a third win for connections when scoring at Haydock (7f, good) in August; two more placed efforts since and a must for the shortlist under Henry Callan. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
He has improved since joining this yard in the spring and was recording a third win for connections when scoring at Haydock (7f, good) one month ago; came up against another in-form rival when beaten 6l off this mark last time, but he likes to force the issue and this track might suit; can give it a good go. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In cracking form since joining this yard and he was winning his third race from his last four starts when always in command at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; goes up another 5lb but he's progressing well. |

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. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
He had looked limited until picking up an AW nursery (7f) at 50-1 in November; well held behind Black Rock Beauty over C&D in May (attracted support), however, and his last two starts, both here, contained little encouragement (tried over 1m2f last time). |
25/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent sort who has been campaigned mostly over 7f, winning once (on AW); only a modest fourth at Redcar most recently; enough to prove back up in distance. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
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. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Two-time Flat winner (7f/1m2f) but he's shown very little in that code this year and is hard to fancy on his hurdle debut. |
200/1 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Won twice on AW for Nigel Tinkler last year (7f/1m2f) but seems badly to have lost his way this season. |

6th 8 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner who has achieved little on turf, latterly for new stable; had wind surgery since last run; something to prove. |
