17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive last year, with the second of his two AW wins coming over C&D in December; this is his first run of the year but he has to be of interest. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went very close in a Chelmsford novice (1m2f, AW) last November but after being gelded, he's had two heavy defeats in handicaps (1m2f/1m4f) this season; still unexposed but he needs a major revival with visor now tried. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best two efforts from five starts have been on AW and he's been off since finishing last of six in a class 3 at Doncaster (1m2f, good; beaten 24l) in March; drops in grade and steps up in trip with a bit to prove. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Of his five AW wins, two have come at this track, one over today's distance; respectable third at Chester (2m, good) on his reappearance in May but needs to be at the top of his game here as he is 5lb above his last winning mark. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-4 over hurdles but has shown ability and matched the pick of his maiden/novice form when a 9.5l third on handicap debut at Southwell (2m; refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces), fading late; well beaten on the Flat since following wind surgery and first-time blinkers need to spark some improvement. |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returning to the Flat for the first time this year when the race was voided at Wolverhampton; he was 50-1 that day. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returns to the Flat for the first time this year after a couple of runs over hurdles; down to a career-low mark and has had wind surgery but others are preferred. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Out of her depth in Listed company at Pontefract (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but suggested she retains ability after returning from another lengthy absence in March; return to a longer trip may suit and respected down in grade. |
5/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't won since landing a Doncaster novice in July 2024 but has been fairly consistent in handicaps; out of her depth in a Listed contest at Pontefract last time but should run her race here. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has fairly useful figures but an underwhelming strike-rate and this is the most difficult task of her career (has the worst chance at the weights); fifth in the Thirsk handicap won by Brielle most recently. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Has led; both wins at 2m on the AW and turf (good) last autumn when with Emma Lavelle; better than ever on final two starts for her in the spring and there have been trip (2m4f) then going and track excuses (good to soft at Chester) for this yard since; revival possible. |

3rd 2 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Bit to prove on softer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; made most when well beaten trying 2m4f in a Class 2 at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago but has a competitive mark in this Class 4. |
3/1 |

6th 14 (13) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Not proven on firmer than good; two wins followed by two Goodwood places on his only four appearances over 2m for Emma Lavelle; first run for new connections was voided before the race warmed up; has a competitive mark and possibilities going beyond 2m, but this is also a better race. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful at his best on the Flat, albeit with just a 1-17 strike-rate, and easily justified skinny odds in three-runner Plumpton maiden (2m, good) on hurdling debut a fortnight ago; has more on his plate here but ought to play a major role. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
1-17 on the Flat but has a good level of ability; went close on stable debut at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) last month and soft ground may not have suited at Goodwood next time; brother to a 2m hurdle winner and he has the credentials to make his mark in this code; respected on jumps debut. |
11/4 |

5th 8 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win at Nottingham at about 1m (good) in April 2025 but he has C&D form and a close call with Zachary Hickes at Yarmouth (about 1m3f, good to firm) for new yard puts him in this picture; may well improve further even though he's not obviously ahead of his mark on past efforts. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Best ratings on no worse than good to soft, although he did win on heavy in 2024; registered a 1m6f double (C&D and Chester) last September but he's not been nearly so potent this season; experiment with cheekpieces was brief and blinkers now replace his usual visor. |
7/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Best ratings on no worse than good to soft, although he did win on heavy in 2024; 1m6f winner (unraced beyond that) last September on his only visit to this track; that was the second leg of a double, following a series of places, but he's not been nearly so potent this season and is 5lb out of the handicap today. |
25/1 |

3rd 3 (5) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
First leg of a quick-fire double when winning this (good; visored) last year off 2lb lower and it was a fairly close third back over C&D (good to soft) three weeks later; hasn't matched that form on his last three starts, most recently in cheekpieces, but he needs a second look back at Haydock in the reapplied visor. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Six-time AW winner but she's 0-13 on turf; chased home a lightly raced 3yo at Carlisle (1m6f, good) on her penultimate start, though, and she has form on a testing surface; no surprise to see her in the shake-up. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
All six wins have been on AW, the latest over C&D last November off 3lb lower; not so good on turf but was runner up at Carlisle (1m6f, good) last Tuesday which holds her in good stead for this return to AW. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A three-time AW scorer (at up to 1m6f) in 2025; largely in good form this season and recorded a solid third of 11 over C&D in June; not out of things after a break. |
13/2 |
