5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In good form without winning in the spring but well below par since returning from a four-month absence in handicaps at Haydock (11.5f) and Leicester (1m) last two runs; this course scorer needs to take a big step forward. |

Absent since June but he will appreciate the return to AW and is 1lb lower than for his last win; this looks too competitive though. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |

Won three handicaps at Lingfield (1m4f-1m5f, AW) this winter; never a threat when fourth back on turf at Windsor last month; others hold stronger claims. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |

Running well this summer, recording formfigures of 2312 over C&D before a third of five at Ffos Las; this is a step up in class though. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Last three runs have been over 1m2f at Newbury and was bang there on each occasion; still on a good mark and has won over this far; seems fine on most surfaces. |

He had been threatening prior to his C&D win in an amateur riders' race three weeks ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken quite well to hurdling, winning then third over 2m1f at Cartmel in the summer; carries a penalty but should be thereabouts. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken well to hurdling, just shaken up to beat six rivals over C&D (soft) last month; open to improvement and should go well under a penalty. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Signed off on the Flat for Jane Chapple-Hyam with 2m AW win in January (RPR 80) and was very much in contention before final-flight unseat over C&D (good to soft) on stable/hurdle debut in May; Richie McLernon presumably had the pick of the two stable runners in this race; shortlisted. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 with seven wins at up to 2m; yet to score this season but arrives in good nick, fourth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap two weeks ago; he's well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark with blinkers refitted. |

4th 1 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His strike-rate is better on AW than turf and this inconsistent 6yo was a tailed-off third at Southwell (2m, AW) in July last time; however, before that he was a close third of 20 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) and he's shown some good turf form this season; capable of a big run. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unraced here; goes particularly well at Pontefract where he just failed to catch Star Start over 1m2f last time; stays this far and should be on the scene. |
11/4 |

2nd 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good. |

5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 4yo who won on stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November but finished down the field on his next two starts; needs to get back on track on this first outing of the year. |
