3rd 1 (7) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in four of his last six starts, including a comfortable success from a wide draw three weeks ago; up another 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and this return to Polytrack should be fine; big player in hat-trick bid. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (13) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 over C&D when winning off a 3lb lower mark five weeks ago (ridden from off the pace by Jack Callan that night and may be again from stall 13); stable flying this month, with seven winners from its last 15 runners at the start of the day, and he holds good claims. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in September; has resumed in excellent form, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when beaten a short head in another 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 23 days ago; a likely player back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D off this mark last September; encouraging second over C&D last month on reappearance and the booking of Oisin Murphy may be significant; solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Rattled up a hat-trick in 0-50 classified events on Tapeta for Daragh Bourke (7f-9.5f) in January; has run with credit in her last three starts for this yard, but still has to conclusively prove she wants this far. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Rattled up a hat-trick for Daragh Bourke (7f-9.5f) earlier in the year; similar level of form since joining this trainer, runner-up over 8.5f here on penultimate start, and perhaps found 1m4f too far at Catterick (6-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; chance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three classified events at up to 9.4f in the space of four days in January when trained by Daragh Bourke; better effort in handicaps for new yard when second off 11 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago; good shout on that form buts need to prove that he's as effective on turf (0-9) and that he has the stamina for this much longer trip. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run of 18 but does know how to win and drops below 0-60 level for the first time; each-way claims; stable also runs Maryland Star. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins on turf, mainly in the spring months, and she's 0-12 on the AW; better effort at Windsor in May but never went a yard without the usual cheekpieces (back today) as favourite last time; Polytrack record wouldn't inspire. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just held on to win tactical race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in June and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when clear second to revitalised rival over C&D (good to firm) on Tuesday; commands respect. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month, but didn't match that form off the same mark at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) one week later; needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces for last year's winning stable. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 15th attempt when narrowly coming out on top in a steadily run race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last week; escapes a penalty for that success and is respected. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Good record here, his seven appearances yielding three wins and two second-place finishes; solid handicapping case to be made on his soft-ground C&D win just over a year ago and it would be no surprise if the return to this venue encouraged a revival. |
20/1 |
|
8th 11 (11) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (12) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
This has always been his time of year and he's a dual C&D winner who's back on a handy mark; it wouldn't be a shock if he popped up. |
