1st 2 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Pretty consistent since the cheekpieces returned in November and the three wins in that period include 11-runner race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last time; back up another 2lb and has to be considered. |
11/4 |

1st 4 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual AW scorer who picked up the second of those wins at Kempton (1m) in March; two solid AW runs followed and he should be fine back on turf, having placed in a course classified (1m, good to firm) in July; player. |

3rd 7 (10) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Very competitive since he got a mark, with form figures of 2152213; return to turf proved no problem when fairly close third of ten at Yarmouth (1m, good) one month ago and he's threatening to take after his only sibling, who has proved relentlessly progressive for these connections; big player. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Steady progress since handicapping and he took his form to a new level with his ready defeat of Ribston Pippin at Southwell three weeks ago (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time); up 6lb but open to further progress and he should go well if the ground is suitable (smart half-sister Royal Velvet happiest on good or faster). |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten favourite three times since breaking through over C&D in January but his last two efforts were sound; first-time headgear (cheekpieces) could help to focus him and Oisin Murphy is 9-28 (+12.68) for the yard in the last five years; the one to beat. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner when 7lb lower last December; reasonably consistent in five starts since scoring at Lingfield; tongue-tie now tried; each-way player but looks in need of a favour from the handicapper before winning again. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins in December including one over this trip; third in all four starts since his latest success and the return to 7f looks to be in his favour; solid contender. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 7f at Wolverhampton and Lingfield in December and he's held his form with placed efforts in last three runs including a close call over C&D in January; still looks on a workable mark and he's strongly respected back up in trip. |

Yet to finish placed after 14 starts and was beaten a long way back on turf at Lingfield in May. |
25/1 |
|
9th 13 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) who has yet to be placed, but it was a respectable run when fourth of nine at Kempton (1m, AW) 55 days ago; struggled in her two starts on Flat turf. |
20/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden who has yet to be placed and has been well held in classified events in her last three runs; opposable. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can win a race and the ground was soft when beaten a shade under 4l in a 1m handicap at Chepstow most recently (first-time tongue-tie); thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden but has shown he can find a race; best effort was when beaten a nose at Kempton (1m, AW) in January and if can replicate that form on turf then he comes into the equation; has left Pat Phelan since his last run in March; sports a first-time tongue-tie and has to be of interest for new yard. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden but he finished well to go very close over C&D (11-2) in January; only 1lb higher after a short break and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has not finished closer than fifth in her eight starts, including two handicaps and two classified events for current yard; made some late headway in blinkers here (7f) last time but she needs improvement back up in trip. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden who has little in the way of solid form; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who isn't particularly solid on form; chance largely depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |
16/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Frustrating type (0-22 overall; 0-15 for Tony Carroll) and the fitting of a hood (retained here) saw no upturn at Kempton five weeks ago. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Left Andrew Balding's yard (still runs in his colours) after two encouraging runs in early 2025; poor form this year and opposable despite his basement mark. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden; had excuse when well-beaten 50-1 shot on last month's stable debut (saddle slipped) but his headstrong tendencies remains a serious worry. |
33/1 |
|
9th 7 (1) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo but he's generally struggled so far and was tailed off in a C&D handicap (40-1) in March; dropped another 5lb but he's with another new yard now and has plenty to prove; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces. |
