17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ready winner at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) on reappearance and good second under Mason Paetel over C&D (good) eight days later; another bold bid looks on its way. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Ready winner back from a break at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) eight days ago; his 4lb rise is offset by Mason Paetel's claim; likely to follow up. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-German; well held in two maidens for Marco Botti last year and a similar story in two novice events for this stable; gelded since last seen in February and has cheekpieces back on for his handicap debut, so he's worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |

9st 8lb |
All four wins have come on Wolverhampton AW, the latest off this mark last August (1m4f); absent since November and 0-21 on turf but that includes six seconds, one of those behind Amancio in this race last year after a break (3lb higher today); has to be in each-way calculations. |

9st 5lb |
Won two 1m6f turf handicaps last June but inconsistent afterwards and unraced since a flop in October; left Charlie Johnston for 6,000gns 16 days later and had wind surgery in March; well handicapped (2lb above last winning mark) if he returns revived for new stable. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored for the sixth time when making all at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) off 1lb lower in July and gave it a fair go from the front when second at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Educator third) three weeks ago; same mark and should make his presence felt. |

2nd 5 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Often a front-runner but he's a tactically versatile; six wins on turf (1m4f-1m6f) but he's not easy to predict and has been quiet on AW this winter; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are preferred. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Looked as good as ever when winning readily by 7l at favourite track Taunton (2m3f, good) three weeks ago and is now 3-19 over hurdles; 7lb higher here but still respected in current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Landed a 'hands and heels' event over C&D in March and respectable efforts in two subsequent starts, latterly when second off this mark at Exeter (about 2m2f, also good; Green Sky tailed off) on Friday; on the premises again if this doesn't come too soon. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all to win a 1m6f handicap at Wolverhampton for Jamie Osborne last September; unplaced in two hurdle runs for this yard but he didn't run badly returned to the Flat at Goodwood 19 days ago (1m6f, good); down in class today and should have a big run in him. |
9/2 |
|
4th 8 (10) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
1m6f AW winner for Jamie Osborne but returns to this scene after two heavy defeats over hurdles, the latest after a wind operation; has a bit to prove off this mark even if he's back on song. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
His three wins were all on the Flat in 2024, including here on heavy ground over 1m2f; failed to build on his comeback run when well beaten over hurdles at Kempton 52 days ago and the hood returns on this switch back to the Flat; makes some appeal from a good mark. |
