8st 11lb |
Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f. |

C&D winner; five wins since joining Tony Carroll, including turf handicaps in two of his last three starts; should give his running once again but may prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win in a Beverley maiden over two years ago but he only just failed to gain a first handicap win when touched off by Justcallmepete over C&D (good to firm) in May; some way below that level in Diligently's race here the following month, though, and others are higher up the list. |
12/1 |
|
10th 3 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Still seeking a first handicap success but he has gone close in two of his three runs for Robert Cowell, beaten a short head over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); slower ground would be no issue but he will need a bit more to defy this 2lb higher mark. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Came up well short in series final (Class 2) at Windsor last time; knocking at the door otherwise this season but may ideally need a drop back in grade. |
14/1 |

12th 7 (15) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins on AW; 0-9 on grass but cheekpieces seem to have bucked him up of late and he was very close to breaking his turf duck at Salisbury before making late inroads into Another Abbot's lead over this C&D last time; weighted to be thereabouts with that one and can't be ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Scored twice (5f/6f) on AW in 2025 and in excellent form of late since the cheekpieces went on, beaten a nose in 6f Salisbury handicap last time; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb with the headgear retained. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Had two C&D wins under his belt before finishing close up in the last two runnings of this (both on good to firm); not ideally placed when returned to this track in May but he should have a say again now back on a better mark, 3lb lower than last August. |
11/2 |
|
14th 9 (16) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a more favourable mark when winning over this C&D (good to firm) in June, a first win in Britain for over two years; perhaps downhill tracks weren't so helpful in two runs since, at 6f and 5f, but he still has something to find in this company. |
25/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ended a losing run in a Class 4 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month but only fourth of seven when penalised at Epsom; well beaten in his two visits here. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
A fairly useful 5f scorer for Michael Appleby; shaped well for her new yard when placed in 5f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Nottingham in the spring but beat only one over C&D in May; freshened up since and no surprise to see her play a prominent role. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over 5f; successful three times for previous yard and beaten only half a length in both starts for new stable, while leaving the impression this return to 6f is perhaps worth exploring; in-form filly who warrants respect. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three turf wins, including over C&D, for previous yard; close second to Layla Liz when favourite at Wolverhampton (5f) on AW/stable/seasonal debut, doing well having come from a difficult position; could well reverse the placings and go one better. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely seen on a downhill track but ran a corking race in Group 3 over C&D as 2yo; often well below best in 2026 but intermittent flashes of form have lightened the gloom, including when a close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good to firm; first-time visor, retained) latest; on the risky side overall. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
His mark continues to fall and there were promising signs at Newcastle (5f, AW) in June; however, two lesser runs have followed and he has to turn things around in a first-time visor (has worn cheekpieces/blinkers this term). |
6/1 |
