5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Goes well here and is 2lb lower than when winning over C&D late last year; well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end and a case could be made for him. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Just two starts since March but they came last month at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and he ran with credit on both occasions; back on his last winning mark and he can go well again. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Tremendous servant with 11 wins for his current yard and three for his previous stable; usually runs over 5f but has won over C&D; finds it tough on the top tracks nowadays but was runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month and looks on a workable mark. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (7) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Little margin for error off this mark and this is a deeper race than the Lingfield handicap (5f, AW) in which he finished second three weeks ago; the new tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |

Fine on the AW but has done most winning on turf and remains weighted to his best after a couple of victories in early summer, latterly off 1lb lower; others make greater appeal. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
5 (2) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three 6f AW wins last autumn and back on the scoresheet in four-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month; inconsistent this year and in a tougher race today, but she's nevertheless respected up 4lb. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways in 6f Windsor handicap in August; not disgraced from a poor draw when in midfield in 21-runner handicap at York (5.5f) since; eased 1lb and can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
10th 10 (20) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |

9st 11lb |
Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has kept his head down on AW for new yard and again without the cheekpieces he wore for the latest of four wins (6f and 7f) for previous stable; back on turf with a query but he's dropped a hefty chunk in the weights and this trainer may well get a good tune out him at some stage. |
33/1 |

12th 3 (8) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on his best form for Richard Hughes but miles below that level since moving yards. |

8th 1 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4-21, with the most recent success coming at Newbury (6f, good) last April off a 12lb higher mark than today's; below his best on his final three starts for Richard Hughes and has failed to beat a rival home in two outings for this stable; others preferred. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Remains consistent enough but has become hard to win with and doesn't have much room for manoeuvre off this mark, which is 4lb higher than when going in at Windsor in July; may well be dropped in again from a wide stall. |
10/1 |
|
8 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent sort who is campaigned regularly at Windsor and he landed a 6f handicap there in July; poorly drawn when fifth of nine there (6f) three weeks ago; no forlorn hope. |
25/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |
15/2 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive time on AW over the winter and he's held his form well enough; the only real blip since November came when disappointing at Windsor on his penultimate start which now raises doubts back on turf. |
12/1 |
|
9 (5) |
1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
His form dipped on turf three weeks ago but he was in fine form on AW over the winter, winning twice at Lingfield and going close over C&D last month; perhaps a shade high in the weights for a race as competitive as this one. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run goes back to last December but he's dropped down the weights and his recent narrow defeat against a smart rival at York (5f, soft; has won at about 6f and on good) was a cracking effort; back up 3lb on course debut but he should be very competitive. |
11/4 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to score this term but he's hinted he can put that right, his latest fourth at Beverley (5f, soft) being another such example; return to 6f is no bother and he won't mind how the ground is riding; career-low mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made it 3-7 over C&D when justifying favouritism with a narrow win in February; no joy in two turf runs this season and has wide draw back on Tapeta but she's now only 1lb higher than for her last success; Hollie Doyle is booked; contender if she can get back near best. |
8/1 |
|
12th 12 (7) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole turf win came in a 6f novice in 2023; has won five AW handicaps at 6f-7f since but her grass form over the last two seasons has been middling and needs improvement; Colin Keane has first ride for yard. |
25/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won her novice over C&D but her five subsequent handicap wins have been on AW, the latest at Wolverhampton when last seen in February; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls here on May 12 (12-1 at the time of withdrawal); |
