5th 4 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock on Flat return at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May but was safely held on both subsequent outings and is far too inconsistent to support with confidence; had recent wind op. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
66-1 winner on his first Flat start since 2024 when making most to win off 2lb lower in a small field at Salisbury last month; back to his inconsistent self when tailed off at Chepstow next time and it will likely depend on what sort of mood he's in. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
This year's hurdling form is uninspiring but he held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock at Salisbury a fortnight ago, his first Flat run since 2024; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood again here but he's only 2lb higher and this is a slight drop in grade. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Polytrack winner who scored twice over this trip on turf last autumn; wasn't helped by being pestered for the lead when a well-held third of four at Salisbury (1m,6f, good to firm) last month, but still 3lb above his last winning mark; more will be needed. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gained his most recent success in C&D event (good) last October; best effort this term when going close at Salisbury (1m4f) on penultimate start; not disgraced in higher grade here latest; fighting chance returned to Class 5 and back up in trip. |
13/8 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Perhaps better over further and when going close over C&D a month ago he was edged out by a 66-1 chance who wasn't in much form before that race and has disappointed since; may need a tad more here, though Taryn Langley takes off a handy 5lb. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden but she kept on well for third of six at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May; has been off since and now drops in grade; contender. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Hinted at ability in five starts last year but she didn't help her chance by hanging right at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on her reappearance 16 days ago; up in grade. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Versatile sort having won on turf, AW and over hurdles; 2lb lower than for his last Flat success but this trip looks sharp enough; Ruby Criscuolo rode a winner for the stable at Wolverhampton last month; yard also runs Wrist Art. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made hay initially for this yard last March-June; pretty consistent this year but with only the one win (with first-time visor over hurdles in April) and he may again have to settle for minor honours. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Consistent on the Flat/over hurdles this year, and deserved last month's narrow win at Plumpton (2m, good; only time he wore a visor); can remain very competitive after 3lb rise. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled after returning to this stable last season but has shown more encouraging signs this spring, running respectably on the Flat before a better effort in a Cartmel selling hurdle (2m1f, good) in May; faces a tougher task back in open handicap company under top weight but has place claims. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but his penultimate Flat run was encouraging and this is his first time in a seller. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He's struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but he ran a respectable race at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 10 days ago; needs to build on that effort now stepping back up in trip and he's without a win on the Flat since 2022. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Regressive on the Flat and has 0-8 strike-rate over hurdles; not beaten far when fifth in first-time visor (now removed) on latest Flat start in June and returns to this code on a workable mark but others have more appealing profiles. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Hasn't won since recording a three-timer in 2024; last of six on return to action at Salisbury (1m4f, good) last month when favourite; has dropped to a career-low mark and first-time visor goes on; may be worth another chance. |
