4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made the most of a drop in class when regaining winning form at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) last month (third has won since); 4lb higher and back up in grade, but he still holds more compelling claims than a few. |
5/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three AW wins for previous stable; 0-8 for current yard and his form has declined rather sharply; however, he may produce a resurgent display back at this level, being 2-2 in Class 6. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three AW wins (1m2f-2m) in 2023; lightly raced since and he's been well held back from another break in his two runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival back at this trip. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |
3/1 |

4th 3 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish; yet to win for new yard, but fair second of five at Lingfield when dropped back to 2m last time (heavy); should improve on back at 2m4f. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won 1m6f/2m handicaps on yielding when trained in Ireland; added two more on the AW for this yard before an underwhelming run at Carlisle where perhaps the ground was too soft; he's another with each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gradually found his feet on AW for new yard since returning from lengthy absence and gained neck wins at Southwell (2m) the last twice; at the top of his game and he was effective on turf in Ireland. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Bounced back from a lesser effort when third of eight here last month and built on that to record his first success for this stable over C&D nine days ago; lively contender under a 5lb penalty. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came on the AW at Chelmsford (1m6f) in December but he's posted some good efforts since, including on turf at Catterick (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; each-way chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win from 12 starts; posted a solid effort when third of nine in first-time blinkers here in February and probably would have benefited from a stronger gallop when fourth over C&D 35 days ago (Charlie Darling was third); claims. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear. |
100/30 |

4th 4 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins in 2025, two on the AW (1m4f) and once over hurdles; banging at the door on turf this summer, second over C&D ten days ago when not enjoying a clear run; another good run seems likely. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh in November; did his best work late when runner-up at Redcar (1m6f, good) last month but he's lacked the pace to challenge in two starts since over this trip; visor goes back on for cheekpieces. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Below par on the AW this year and again failed to fire when last of five on the Flat at Carlisle (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; however, his earlier fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, good) was more encouraging and gives him a chance of making the frame now down in trip. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner in November 2024, but finished miles behind Charlie Darling on his return from 11 months off back here 26 days ago; the market should indicate whether a much better effort is anticipated. |
9/2 |

7th 5 (4) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Two from two over C&D, namely wins in November 2024 during a good spell on AW; eventually lost his form and has been absent since last May but looks interesting back here. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten over hurdles last time; has taken Flat form to a new level since switched to AW, finishing second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last September then going one better at Chelmsford (2m) in January; open to further progress back in this sphere, provided he takes to new headgear. |
11/4 |

7th 8 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Back from a break to get off the mark on the Flat last month (sixth attempt), albeit in a low-grade 2m handicap on the AW; has the stamina for hurdling and Sean Bowen is booked, but others are still preferred. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of five on handicap debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces, kept since) in August but posted an improved effort when second at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) 145 days ago, shaping as if this longer trip would suit; off since but needs a second look. |
