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 |

1st 1 (5) |
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. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Her form dipped at Glorious Goodwood but that was a Class 3 and she had been in good form beforehand; untested on slower than good but she will be a danger to all if handling it. |
4/1 |

11th 19 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
First run after wind surgery when winning easily at Pontefract in April but no further improvement has been forthcoming; returning to 6f is probably no bad thing but others are more intriguing. |
20/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Returned from wind surgery with a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; creditable runs in defeat since but she will need to pull out more to defy this mark. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 7f course winner last year (good/good to soft); back on a good mark now but yet to build upon encouraging seasonal reappearance in April and not sure to be suited by this drop back to 6f. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins came over C&D last year and has dropped 5lb lower than for the latest in September; modest effort at Southwell (7f, AW) last time, but still of interest returned to this track. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Mixed form this year but ran okay when third at Newmarket (7f, good) recently and has dropped below his last winning mark; unraced on Tapeta but seemed fine on Polytrack on his two previous AW runs; might not be far away. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Better effort when fourth of ten at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) this month and now 2lb below his last winning mark, but he is just 1-42 in Britain. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Low-key run at Newmarket (6f, good) 12 days ago; return to a longer trip is in his favour but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
11th 12 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Lingfield (1m, AW) in January; up and down since that success and could prove vulnerable back sprinting. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his record to 6-16 when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March but he's been well below form in three subsequent runs; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs to get back on track |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Kempton (7f, AW) in March on his reappearance but he's been below that level in both starts since, including at Newbury three weeks ago; drops in grade but others have stronger claims. |
10/1 |
|
10th 9 (12) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back from a break to claim career win number six on the Kempton AW (7f) in March but then disappointed at Yarmouth (off this 3lb higher mark); consistent in the main since sent into handicaps and breaks tend to do him good. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won his maiden over C&D as a 2yo for Amanda Perrett; turned in three poor efforts earlier this year, back from a lengthy absence, before being sold for 1,200gns in May; hard to recommend. |
50/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
First and second in two 7f novices at Lingfield the winter before last, but having been off for a year, he's trailed home last in 1m/7f handicaps (tried a hood and blinkers last time); makes turf debut with lots to prove. |
