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 |

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. |

Hard to win with (3-30) but had a consistent campaign and suffered interference last time at Beverley; 7f specialist. |
7/2 |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Versatile tactically and his last win was here in June; 6lb higher now but was runner-up off this mark at Lingfield four days ago (7f AW) when in first-time cheekpieces; each-way claims. |
11/2 |

2nd 5 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Beverley (7.4f, good) in June and he ran another good race when a clear second there last time; this return to Polytrack is no problem and he should give it another good shot with cheekpieces added. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Placed eight times on the AW, but now 0-16 and not at his best lately; takes another drop in grade, but this trip probably stretches him. |
9/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Returned from short break with two good 7f runs this spring; well handicapped if judged on those but his form has dipped since and he is yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 1m. |
12/1 |

8th 9 (13) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden after 14 starts; very slowly away two starts ago but otherwise has possibilities, having run most of his best races on Tapeta and was hampered in his run over C&D last time; may well be involved. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up twice in May (C&D on good to firm first occasion); caught too far back when fourth over 1m here last time; likely still in good form but needs things to drop right the way he's ridden. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins came on AW in early-2025 when trained by Daragh Bourke; hasn't run to that level since and now with his sixth trainer; best watched at present. |
25/1 |

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. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Won three times over 1m here last summer and 5lb lower than for the most recent; hasn't threatened in her last five starts, though, and another furlong would be preferable. |
20/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times for two different stables at Brighton last year (1m, good to firm-good) but was soundly beaten on first three starts for current stable this spring (all 7f); considered only if lively in the betting. |

7th 6 (2) |
