21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Popped up in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (5f, good to soft) in June but he's finished down the field in five runs since; now 1lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Punished for an easy small-field Wolverhampton win on his final run last year (5lb lower) and has struggled during a limited campaign this season; needs a revival back from a couple of months off. |
10/1 |
|
10th 12 (11) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won two of his five starts as a 2yo, including a wide-margin nursery success at Wolverhampton in November; he hasn't seen his race out in two handicap runs this year (5f/6f) but he should be sharper for last month's return from a break, he represents a yard that excels with this type and he has few miles on the clock; revival not out of the question. |
25/1 |

9th 4 (8) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Didn't see out 6f when last seen five months ago (since taken out here on account of unsuitable good to soft ground); needs to prove this mark (11lb higher than when making all in an uncompetitive AW nursery last autumn) is within range. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Big runs at York (5f/6f) on first three turf starts this year but found it much tougher since; Chester fourth on latest start (his first on softer than good) was his best in form terms but still suggests he will be vulnerable. |
9/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Big chance on this year's best efforts but his form dipped at York in June and last week's Great St Wilfrid seventh wasn't great either; unraced on slower than good; not sure what to expect. |
9/1 |
|
7th 12 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise on his stable debut at York (5f, good) in May and he showed better form in defeat on his next two starts (both at York; 5f and 6f on good ground); messed about at the start when disappointing at York seven weeks ago; still of major interest from a handicapping perspective judged on his run on June 13 and he's unexposed at 6f; contender. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 5f winner last year when trained by Paul Attwater; beat only one rival home on his stable debut in December and has again been below his best in two starts since wind/gelding operations, albeit 6f on soft ground probably stretched him last time; dropped another 2lb and a tongue-tie is on for the first time. |

4th 6 (9) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His nursery win came here over 5f off 2lb higher; quiet in two runs for current trainer, the latest after wind surgery and a gelding operation. |
33/1 |

7th 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Dual winner on turf for previous yard; absent and had wind/gelding operations since below-par effort on AW last December (stable debut); the market signals may give useful extra guidance on reappearance. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Windsor in the summer and again sat on the pace when winning from the same draw over C&D three weeks ago (hung left as usual); settled better without the cheekpieces that night and has claims but a 7lb rise looks plenty. |
4/1 |

1st 9 (8) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Windsor off 2lb lower in July, before going off too hard in front at the same course next time; cheekpieces have helped but there's other pace in here from a wide enough stall on his Tapeta debut. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
11th race brought his first win, when making all from stall 5 in 11-runner race over C&D (good to firm; at 11-1) three weeks ago under Taryn Langley; back up 3lb but inconsistency is the chief worry. |

23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
190,000euros yearling; showed speed before fading into third of eight on her Yarmouth debut (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; that gave her something to build on and she shouldn't be far away. |
