5th 2 (5) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved to land handicaps at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and Southwell (1m3f) in April; posted another good effort when a staying-on third of ten at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 11 days ago; must enter calculations with this return to further also a plus. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after wins here (1m4f) and at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in April; 3lb higher mark not the end of the world, but the drop back in trip does pose a question. |
4/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Pleasing third of five when stepped up to 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month and did the business under those conditions next time, getting the better of the hot favourite; had over 2l to spare at the line and a 5lb rise could have been worse; tough to beat. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-8; did go very close on the AW (1m3f; new cheekpieces) in April but pretty much tailed off in his subsequent races and his freegoing tendencies remain evident. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well down the field after racing too freely on turf last month but was in good form beforehand, most notably when close second at Southwell (1m3f; first-time cheekpieces) two runs ago; in the mix if back on song. |
8/1 |
|
13th 2 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Third in his first two handicaps, including at Nottingham (1m2f, good; visored) in his only turf race; better form when beaten a neck at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces) latest outing, which he'll need to build on. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the running when posting a solid effort at Southwell (1m3f, AW) on his handicap debut in April but was down in the field when ridden more patiently on his turf debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) 35 days ago; steps up in trip having been dropped 2lb. |
16/1 |
|
11th 5 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Finished last in his only turf race (40-1); getting closer on AW, finishing on the heels of Extraterrestrial when front-running third of seven on handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f) 16 days ago; needs to build on that. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better effort here 39 days ago despite still looking green; dam winning over 1m4f offers hope for this marked step up in trip; betting useful on handicap debut. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Improved in last season's novice races at about 1m but it's been a low-key start in handicaps, at 1m2f and 1m3f; trainer turns to blinkers for some inspiration. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Improved placing each start last year but, having been gelded, he returned with a low-key sixth on handicap debut at Nottingham three weeks ago (upped to 1m2f; 9-2; behind Extraterrestrial); rather watch. |
13/2 |

6th 5 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fair form in three quick runs last autumn, finishing third of 14 at Chelmsford on the most recent of them (1m); stamina in bottom half of his pedigree but this opening mark will demand improvement; gelded since last run. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Respectable efforts in 1m4f handicaps on her last two runs, the latest at Catterick when tried in a visor for the first time; dropped 3lb and now tackles a longer trip; place claims again. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unplaced in five starts over 7f-1m4f but did show some improvement over a similar trip at Thirsk (good) last time, when racing prominently; 2lb drop should help, while headgear is now tried; player. |
100/30 |

4th 5 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Struggled in three maidens in Ireland last year and same story when upped to 1m3f on handicap/stable debut at Southwell (AW; 20-1) last month; one of two runners for yard and she needs a transformation back on turf. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Initial promise when a never-nearer fourth to Myrrh at Hamilton (8.5f, soft) last September; gelded over the winter and struggled to get competitive on handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW; 40-1) five weeks ago, beaten over 15l; others are more obvious candidates. |
20/1 |

6th 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
No forlorn hope on runs two and three last year, and moving up in trip promises to suit, but he's entitled to strip fitter for this return; gelded in his time off; AW/handicap debut. |
14/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Displayed considerable improvement on his second start when keeping on for fourth at Hamilton (1m, soft; 150-1); he should be right at home in the testing conditions and he's respected. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't run badly at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago when fifth of seven in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, he probably needs more help from the handicapper before he posts his first win. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tried a few trips this year and hasn't looked well handicapped at any of them; continues to drop in the weights and the addition of cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Modest maiden who was fitted with a tongue strap when a below-par ninth of 15 in 7f Doncaster handicap eight days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
