20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three 7f wins this year, including on Tapeta, and only 1lb higher than for the latest; well short of his best on his last two runs (slowly away latest); revival not out of the question. |

Three wins over 7f this season, the first on Tapeta at Newcastle and the last two (Chepstow, Brighton) on fast ground; not at his best on Tapeta last time but could still go well. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-10 on the AW and 1-15 on turf; bounced back from a lesser effort at Thirsk (1m) when third of 13 in a classified event at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; needs to back that up returned to turf. |

Needs to bounce back quickly from duff effort on turf nine days ago but has been placed here three times (7f-1m) since his 1m course win in February and has a big role to play if back on song. |

Proved resurgent with keeping-on fifth over C&D last time; may ideally need a return to further but is attractively weighted; won off 5lb higher here (1m) in April. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times here (1m) in his first four starts for this trainer in 2025; has found life tough from an elevated mark since; "stopped quickly" in added cheekpieces at Ayr (1m2f; 22-1, beaten 36l) latest; risky proposition. |
25/1 |

11th 4 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Did well for new stable last season, winning three times over 1m at Ripon; also suited by 1m2f, but launched this campaign with two low-key runs (7f/1m) and needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Never dangerous over 7f in sole outing this term; has a record of 3-3 over C&D (all on good ground last term; 0-17 elsewhere) and looks very interesting returned to this scenario; favourably treated off 1lb below last winning mark. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate but there have been several good runs in defeat this year and his record at Hamilton reads -30222; has run well on soft but a slightly quicker surface may be ideal. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |

Sole win from 27 starts came on the AW at Newcastle last August but he's been runner-up on turf six times, including when caught late at Hamilton (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; switch of headgear today; shortlisted. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent gelding who went close over C&D in early June and came back to that sort of level when behind Patrick Street three days ago (8lb better off back into a handicap); often pulls hard and it will depend on his mood. |

28-1 on her Southwell debut (5f, Tapeta) last month and was never involved before finishing a 10l fifth nine; looked inexperienced in that race but she needs a transformation on this step up in trip; yard also runs Sharon Curly. |
