3rd 6 (9) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed the promise of recent runs when scoring for the second time at Bath (1m, firm) last month; 5lb rise makes this tougher but holds place claims at least. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went down by only a head over C&D (firm) in April; things didn't go his way (slightly hampered) when fourth of 11 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago; likely to go well. |

4th 7 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got behind after a slow start at Bath (1m, firm) on penultimate start but still got to within a head of the winner; hampered there when the hood was absent next time; 2-26 overall but one to consider. |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained all ten wins at this track, the latest in 1m classified at start of this month; close second in handicap over that trip here (again on firm) a fortnight later and will be fine back over 1m2f but recent 4lb rise might leave this 8yo a shade vulnerable. |

2nd 4 (5) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All ten wins achieved here, dropping to classified company to get his head back in front over this trip (firm) a fortnight ago; part of a strong hand in this finale for Adrian Wintle. |

1st 2 (13) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All nine wins achieved here but seemingly wants further than 1m these days; went backwards from a pleasing return last time; goes without headgear for the first time in over five years. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Closely matched with A Rose Adaay on their recent clash in a classified race; probably needs more back in a handicap and he's hard to win with (2-33). |
14/1 |

4th 10 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 since winning twice over 1m in the summer of 2024, but he has run well in his last two visits in handicaps here (7f); each-way claims down in grade. |
6/1 |
|
4th 13 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
He ran his best race for some time when second of five in a handicap over C&D (good to firm) last week; fair fourth at Bath on Wednesday but others appeal more for win purposes. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Safely held on all three starts since returning from nine-month absence in June and remains without a win since 2022; stable's other runner Nammos has less to prove. |
10/1 |

5th 5 (8) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Winless since 2022 and nothing like as good now; failed to build significantly on reappearance when sixth of ten over 1m at Chepstow (good) last month and the losing run seems likely to continue |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Winless since 2022 and nothing like as good now; entitled to have needed his C&D comeback at his age nine days ago after a lengthy layoff but finished well held. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won off today's mark at Kempton (1m) in January but was soundly beaten after starting slowly in both turf races this summer; others look less risky. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Ended a losing sequence at Kempton (1m) in January but held off higher marks twice since, albeit his latest run may have been needed after a break. |
