25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw him break his turf duck at Yarmouth in April, digging deep to win by a short head; similar form when third of 14 at Goodwood (7f, good) five weeks ago; he will need a personal best to come out on top this time though. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) returned to turf with AW reappearance under his belt, taking overall record to 3-13; upped in grade but may have more to offer in the retained headgear; shortlisted. |
9/2 |

1st 2 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Both of his wins have been on AW but he does act on turf; strong in the betting when seventh at Newcastle (7f, AW) on his reappearance 25 days ago, albeit beaten only 2l; claims with cheekpieces first time. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April (final start for Stuart Williams); good start for Jennie Candlish when third over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) but not in the same form when beaten favourite at Carlisle (1m) ten days later; quite a strong traveller over those trips but whether he has the speed for sprinting remains to be seen. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win was on his debut in December 2024 but he's been knocking on door for Jack Jones this spring including when runner-up over C&D (good) last month; remains well treated on best form and he's a big player on this first run for James Owen; hood removed. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't kick on from his winning debut for David O'Meara; down in the weights as a result and he has run two solid races for his new stable, second over 6f at Leicester last month before a good third over C&D four weeks ago (good to firm); untried on slower than good but handicapped to win. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 12 (11) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came on his debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December 2024 but he ran well when runner-up at Leicester (6f, good) on his stable debut eight days ago, shaping as if he's worth another go at 7f; contender if backing that effort up. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |
20/1 |

6th 7 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |
9/2 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins in the first half of 2025 and latest was off 1lb higher over C&D; returned after wind surgery with a promising effort in a Class 4 here (7f, good to firm) last month and he looks interesting on this drop back in grade. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces (added to tongue-tie) when edging ahead late on over C&D (good) four weeks ago; not the most convincing (carries head awkwardly under pressure) but he's only been nudged up 2lb. |
9/4 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Expensive to follow since picked up from Charles Hills (turned over three times as favourite this year) and is tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore a hood at Yarmouth in the spring); a good test over a stiff 7f is fine but he doesn't always convince. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win to his name after 14 starts but he has performed with credit in four runs for his new stable, including second-place finishes at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Doncaster (7f good to soft); hood experiment quickly aborted; should go well again. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Admirable teenager with 12 wins to his name, including one over C&D; best recent effort when second of 12 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month; should be on the premises again. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Admirable teenager who has a better strike-rate on the AW, but he has won over this C&D; finished a long way behind Signcastle City at York (7f, good) last month and probably best watched. |
33/1 |
|
20th 12 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 and his C&D win came before most of today's rivals were born; not disgraced on reappearance and he's now 13lb lower than this time last year, but his last turf win was in 2022; not the percentage call. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Course specialist who has won over 1m here on his last two starts (good to firm; for Taryn Langley), most recently 19 days ago off a 4lb lower mark than today's; needs things to drop right given the way he's ridden but he can't be dismissed now returned to 7f. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Yarmouth specialist who turned things around with a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) last week; only 3lb higher under a penalty and he's a major player again in his bid for a fifth course win. |
100/30 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins (7f-1m) and three second-place finishes (6f-1m) at Yarmouth last season; not hit the same heights this time round and although soft ground was a valid excuse last time, he needs a full revival to take this. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three-time winner on the AW over 7f and he ran well despite not really settling when second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; that was just his third go on the grass and he can remain competitive. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently in February; two attempts on turf include a good effort (close third off 1lb higher) in a division of this contest 12 months ago; again has place claims. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time visor when coming from off the pace to score at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; not in same form on latest outing and not one to rely upon heavily but probably still on a good mark. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-race maiden but his best two efforts have been over this C&D; probably didn't stay 1m2f here 35 days ago and has since been dropped a further 3lb; tongue-tie now goes on and he has possibilities back at 1m. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who has form figures of 0487057 in handicaps; had some traffic issues when prominent in the market at Kempton last week but this is competitive back on turf and he still has stamina to prove at this trip; others preferred. |
11/2 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden who has form figures of 048705 in handicaps and he finished behind two of today's rivals over C&D two weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but he needs to raise his game. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Consistent record on AW features two wins; far less solid on turf form (finishing positions read 790) and can be opposed in a competitive affair kept to this sphere. |
25/1 |
|
11th 5 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Doubled his tally on the AW when winning at Chelmsford (7f; first-time visor) in February and he was a close third there next time; however, below best in both starts on turf, including at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; headgear last five starts but not today. |
14/1 |
|
9th 5 (5) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent AW handicapper who ran creditably last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double (7f); can remain competitive provided the form is transferred back to turf (second attempt). |
