25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had wind and gelding operations before reappearance; 6-4 co-favourite for a seven-runner handicap at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) six weeks ago on second run back and improved to win from the front, asserting in clearcut fashion; up 6lb and needs another step forward but that may well be possible. |

1st 1 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed ability in all four starts as a 2yo over 7f-8.6f on turf/AW and, after having been gelded and undergone wind surgery, he looked in need of his Haydock reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; looks to have a bigger performance in him. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice in the mud last September (made most on second occasion) before running on but never getting in a serious blow when 13-8 favourite for handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in November, still looking capable of better; had wind and gelding operations this spring; one to check out for a yard which had two notable well-backed winners last week. |

3rd 3 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has a solid record in handicaps, completing an AW double then making the frame twice on turf; however, has shown no further improvement for the switch to this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two AW handicaps (1m/9.5f) earlier in the year and, despite an 8lb rise, he ran well to finish fourth of 14 on turf debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (third has won since); major player. |
7/2 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A different proposition since handicapping, with wins at Chelmsford (1m; dead-heated) in January and Wolverhampton (9.4f) five weeks ago; asserted in good style in the final 1f last time, which has earned him an 8lb rise but this longer trip looks a plus if he proves effective on turf debut. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Best effort when third of 13 in a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) for Alice Haynes in October, but two heavy defeats since (including on stable debut) leave her with plenty to prove; cheekpieces given a go on handicap debut and they need to have an effect. |
14/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |

Placed three times for Alice Haynes last year; steps up in trip on stable debut and more required. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Bumped into one on his handicap debut early in the year before showing the right attitude to win off 1lb lower next time (both Polytrack); didn't look to see out 1m2f on soft ground back from a break recently and holds obvious claims at this lower level. |
7/4 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Gradually improved on the AW during the winter culminating in a narrow success at Kempton (7f) in February (form hasn't worked out); this trip should be within range, but has bit to prove back on turf after 107 days off; stable won this two years ago. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Not beaten far in two 1m handicaps last month and the form of both has been boosted; wouldn't be nailed on to appreciate the longer trip, though. |
6/1 |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Good fourth at Bath (1m) switched to handicap level last time and may take another step forward; one to consider. |

4th 2 (4) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
She hasn't beaten many home in three maiden/novice runs over 7f; potential improver now up in trip for her handicap debut; betting to guide. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in five starts and has trailed in last in a couple of handicaps since headgear was introduced; difficult to fancy. |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't finished within 12l of the winner in four starts and ran particularly poorly on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good; first-time visor) last month; needs the switch to cheekpieces to make a big difference. |
14/1 |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten about 12l in each of his 1m runs but this combination of new trip, first-time headgear and switch to handicap level may prompt a bigger effort. |
