21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins in the first half of 2026; low-key run back from nine weeks off 21 days ago; needs to resume his progress. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Got the winning habit this season, winning narrowly four times, including here, and going 11lb up the weights; they all came in 0-50 and 0-55 company but it wouldn't be a shock to see him complete the hat-trick back from a two-month break. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won four times on AW this year, including last two races (7f/1m), and was placed over C&D (good) in May; untested on ground slower than good but, otherwise, has solid claims. |
5/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
In good nick at present and landed his third win at Southwell (7f, AW) last month; 4lb higher but should continue to run well away from that track; claims. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner; didn't run badly over 1m at Windsor when last seen ten weeks ago; more appealing than many under these conditions. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 (7) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Both wins have been over 7f on AW; looks in need of a drop in the weights and a drop back in trip on AW. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
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. |

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 |
9st 1lb |
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 |
9st 9lb |
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 |

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 |

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. |
