15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins last year included one over 6f here (soft); 0-8 in 2026 but retains ability; others may have his measure this time though. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual soft-ground winner, latterly over C&D last autumn off an 8lb higher mark; has been running over 7f in recent times and the question is whether he still has the toe for this trip under today's conditions. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
There's a question mark regarding ground slower than good to soft and he was below par at Thirsk a fortnight ago (even allowing for slight interference); however, he was in good form previously, finishing second over C&D (good to soft) then winning at Musselburgh (7f, good); not discounted. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 7f handicap at Musselburgh 20 days ago; back up 3lb but this reliable sort can go well again. |

Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up twice in May (C&D on good to firm first occasion); caught too far back when fourth over 1m here last time; likely still in good form but needs things to drop right the way he's ridden. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
25/1 |

18th 13 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time turf winner who was also winning his sixth AW event when scoring at Southwell (7f) in February; 2lb lower when coming back to form with neck defeat over that C&D in April but not seen since; nothing wrong with his mark if this isn't merely a springboard to another AW campaign. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |

15-race maiden; bettered disappointing stable debut when second at Southwell (7f) in January but raced too freely and was below that form there 16 days ago; not the percentage call. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 1m2f on turf in July and has run well to be placed at Kempton (1m3f/1m4f) off this mark in his last two starts; has gone well here before and holds solid claims. |
5/2 |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of his career over 7f/1m but was a dual 1m2f turf winner this summer and he went close over 1m3f here last month; on same mark as for that last run and he could have more to offer at middle distances; key player. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 (6) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of career over 7f/1m but was a dual 1m2f turf winner this summer; possibly not ideally suited by good to soft ground when fifth on last two starts and now only 1lb above last winning mark; respected back on AW. |

Early promise for this yard but he's been struggling for form this winter; tackles 7f for the first time; stable may have stronger claims with Straight A. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Rated considerably higher this time 12 months ago but he's down in the weights as a result of some modest runs since March; returning to 6f not enough to tempt this time. |
