1st 3 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |

C&D winner on his stable debut in January; unable to build on that effort in three runs in January; others are preferred for win purposes. |

3rd 7 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has generally been consistent this year, winning for the first time on turf at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; recorded a rare blip at Leicester last month but back on track when runner-up at Ayr (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; respected. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some good form this spring prior to winning at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; flopped at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago but he shouldn't be written off today. |
13/2 |

8th 4 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a deserved victory in 7f Musselburgh handicap ten days ago; up 2lb but this consistent front-runner ought to be in the shake-up again. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 but runner-up five times and went down by a nose and a neck following a gelding operation here two starts ago (form boosted since); this kind of trip has stretched him in the past, though; jockey Katrine Holm seeks first winner. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
No wins in 11 but his first run after a gelding operation and in a tongue-tie when going down narrowly in a close finish at Kempton (7f); mark untouched so every chance with a repeat. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who was down the field in January in his first two handicaps but he's been gelded since and is on a competitive mark on his best novice/maiden form; not ruled out in a first-time tongue-tie. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent during the AW season and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival on recent turf return at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); also suited by 1m and probably won't be far away. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a losing sequence but he arrives in decent nick, finishing fourth of six in 7f Kempton handicap 33 days ago; possibilities. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
5yo who has had several different stables during his light career; well beaten at Galway last autumn on final two outings but he's well worth a second look today given he's 2-2 on AW, the latest of those wins coming over C&D last February; makes stable debut with new trainer's horses running well. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won three times over 1m at Brighton last summer but has lost her way; finished last on her two starts this term, for new yard. |
33/1 |

10th 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won three over 1m at Brighton last summer, latterly off a 1lb lower mark, before losing her way; a poor comeback effort for her new yard four weeks ago leaves her hard to recommend. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times, the latest two for the Newland/Insole yard, at Brighton last summer; however, she was below her best in the autumn and sold for 3,500gns in October; revival required on this stable debut. |
