3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
First two wins on AW; good start for this yard when winning at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April but he's beaten a total of one rival in two turf starts since and failed to find much when dropped to 7f on Southwell AW last time (first-time blinkers, retained); has enough to prove at present. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Redcar (1m) in April on yard debut but has beaten just one rival in two outings since; cheekpieces are quickly swapped for blinkers; has something to prove all of a sudden but the ability is lurking to take a hand. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Running well in defeat in the UAE early this year and continued the good work when close second at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in April; this is his first run since but he can be in the mix if resuming where he left off. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has been running well in UAE this year, going close in big-field handicap in February (1m, good) then third of ten last month (1m, dirt); major player if continuing the good work back in Britain. |
3/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Comfortable winner of a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last December, but had a nightmare passage on handicap/turf debut at York (7f, good to firm) in May; returns from 166 days off having been gelded; worth a second look. |

3rd 6 (4) |
15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record here reads 11811 and he bids for a C&D hat-trick after two wins at Class 5 level; raised another 3lb and this will be more demanding, but he's hard to rule out in his current mood. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (10) |
3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Made it 3-4 round here when winning from a similarly wide draw over C&D last Saturday on second start for new yard, which has been among the winners of late; 5lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (13) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Useful for David O'Meara a couple of years ago (2-2 for him round here) but ran only twice last season and has regressed lately; didn't see it out for his new yard over 7f here latest and holds only each-way claims, running in a sprint for the first time in ages. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden winner who is 0-13 in handicaps; has a reduced mark and competitive this term, including over C&D, but others are preferred for win purposes. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden winner who is 0-12 in handicaps but he's on a reduced mark and ran respectably in a Class 3 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; has possibilities if he can find something extra and he won't mind what the weather does. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Did too much up front over 1m1f at Hamilton last time; successful at York and close third at Ripon in last two 1m attempts; ground softer than good would present a question mark. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to form to make all at York (1m, good) in June and backed that up with another good effort at Ripon (1m, good) 24 days ago, finishing a close-up third of seven; runs off the same mark today and could go well over this slightly longer trip. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form to make all at 28-1 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained); strong claims up 3lb if he can back up that latest performance. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner (1m/1m2f) but he's struggled since returning for this stable in January (refused to race on one occasion), albeit he did have a wide trip last time; has dropped to a career-low mark but has a bit to prove. |
12/1 |
|
12th 2 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time winner on Polytrack (1m/1m2f), but yet to click since returning for this yard in January, refusing to race on one occasion; has dropped a long way in the weights, but risky. |
25/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
AW wins at 1m and 1m2f and he's 0-8 on turf; refused to race on second run back from an absence and, following his fading fifth at Redcar (1m2f) recently, a further drop in the weights could be in order; at least this is a drop in grade, though. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Close third 12 months ago and has run creditably over C&D several times since; a sixth of 15 at York four weeks ago should have kept him ticking over and he has each-way possibilities again. |
10/1 |
|
6th 14 (7) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Back to form with a bang to collar one with a good AW record over 7f here on Monday; there was over 3l back to the third in that 13-runner contest so he could be fairly treated under a 5lb penalty if coping with the quick turnaround; just as effective at 1m. |
7/2 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win to his name after 20 attempts; well treated on this season's best but he has gone quiet more recently; cheekpieces now given a go; others bring more compelling claims. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to win a handicap and no better than fourth in seven runs for his new yard this year; drops in trip with a tongue tie added; others hold stronger claims. |
16/1 |
