16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Suited by drop back to 7f when winning at Newmarket (good to firm) and nearly followed up in 20-runner race at Glorious Goodwood (good); up another 3lb but plenty to like for trainer who won this race in 2020 and 2021. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by the drop back in distance at Newmarket (good to firm) last time, narrowly beating Great Acclaim and taking 7f record to 3-5 (only 1-8 over further); on a career-high mark but interesting kept to this trip. |

Shaped encouragingly at Chester (7.5f) on the return to turf and proved unsuited by 1m2f (raced too freely) later in May; however, now 0-5 in this sphere and peak form remains on AW where he's a three-time scorer. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Six-time AW winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (7f) last December off a mark 5lb higher than today's; hasn't been at her best in recent starts but she's on a handy mark, and could go well if things drop favourably. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Out of sorts on turf in her last two runs, but six of her seven wins have been on Tapeta (including over C&D) and latest was off 3lb at Wolverhampton in December; usually comes from off the pace and she's one to keep an eye on back in this sphere. |
20/1 |

10th 16 (12) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
She's dropped below her last winning mark and has run some reasonable races on turf this summer, but without suggesting a win is imminent; she's just 1-20 on grass as opposed to 6-43 on AW. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins at Ayr (1m, soft/heavy) last month with a near-miss at Hamilton (1m1f, heavy) in between, and he was a close second when unpenalised at Ayr (7f, heavy) last Thursday; 4lb higher this afternoon but this 8yo remains well treated on his old form and has to be respected. |
13/2 |

1st 2 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to form and capitalised on a reduced mark over C&D (soft) this month before near-miss at Hamilton (1m1f, heavy) two days later; 3lb higher than last time but this in-form 8yo is a leading contender. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent type who arrives on a high after coming from the rear to win convincingly off lower turf mark at Newmarket (7f) in July; 7lb higher here but he's just as effective at 1m and not ruled out. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

In-form 7yo who has reached the frame in his last three runs including when third of 11 in a C&D handicap (good to firm) three weeks ago; finished ahead of Exposure in that race and he has each-way claims again. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner (1m/1m2f) but he's struggled since returning for this stable in January (refused to race on one occasion), albeit he did have a wide trip last time; has dropped to a career-low mark but has a bit to prove. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

6th 3 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

AW wins at 1m and 1m2f and he's 0-8 on turf; refused to race on second run back from an absence and, following his fading fifth at Redcar (1m2f) recently, a further drop in the weights could be in order; at least this is a drop in grade, though. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |

On a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; not particularly solid on 2026 efforts and it's still over five years since his only turf win. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (13) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last win was at Southwell in April 2024 but he travelled strongly for a long way before weakening there (7f) last month; record of 1-35 on turf but he's on a much lower mark back in this sphere and is well handicapped on his best form last season; one to keep an eye on with visor reapplied. |
20/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Dry since a C&D win for the Quinn yard more than two years ago; now 10lb lower than when last seen on the AW (3-8 here) but has regressed on turf in the meantime and may just be on the downgrade. |

9st 11lb |
He's dropped to a mark 8lb lower than when winning at Ayr (1m, soft) last September; however, he's been a long way below his best this year, including on his favoured soft/heavy ground on his last three starts. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well suited by soft/heavy ground; generally well below form this term, most recently in Ayr race that he'd won off a higher mark 12 months earlier; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time visor. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Well backed when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago; 3lb lower today and although this year's efforts have been modest, he had a break before his reappearance 19 days ago and will be fresh for his autumn campaign; high on the list. |
