31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6f novice winner on turf and also runner-up in a nursery off 3lb higher; hasn't beaten a rival this season but the ability is there should a first-time hood trigger something. |

A fair C&D winner at 2yrs; came in last of ten in 7f Ascot handicap on his seasonal return but this Harry Angel gelding can take a step forward now back in trip. |

9st 4lb |
First run for 298 days when down the field over C&D at the Glorious meeting six weeks ago; dropped 3lb and the return of a tongue-tie should see him to better effect. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lacks recent match practice and gained his sole win off 9lb lower but on the plus side his yard is enjoying a fine summer; worth a second look in the betting. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June and again there the following month after a lesser effort on turf; possibly did too much too soon there next time and was reported to have hung right throughout when failing to beat a rival at Kempton (6f, AW) three weeks ago; 0-8 on turf. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won debut from two starts as a juvenile; has returned from 12 months off with some good efforts in defeat over 6f on good to firm, although unable to get a foothold in a C&D race last time following early interference; remains with some potential and not ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Turned over at long odds-on at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on his return from a year on the sidelines; finished just in front of Dandana when third at Windsor on last month's handicap debut; still has time to deliver a bigger performance. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 13 (12) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Impressive debut C&D winner last May; having first run for 12 months and only second run since when an odds-on second of eight in 6f Doncaster novice last month; travelled strongly long way there, so remains with a fair bit of potential now handicapping. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Often front-runner; four wins over about 1m this year and twice runner-up (Epsom and Chester) in quick succession when stepped up to 1m2f in June; kept on well under usual rider Rose Dawes last time and this trip is unlikely to be an issue, but further improvement is needed for sure. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Is enjoying a fine season and racked up a fourth victory at Doncaster (1m) in April; posted another very good effort when runner-up in 1m2f handicap at Epsom six days ago; this likeable front runner is a player once more off an unchanged mark. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Usually ridden by Rose Dawes; won four of seven handicaps, all once visored, including from the front over 1m at Bath (good to soft) and Doncaster when returned to turf; helped to set a strong gallop when fifth of ten at Haydock latest but he needs to resume improvement and this new trip is not sure to help. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Not quite the same horse on Kempton AW last time as he had been over C&D in August, firstly when depriving Pennine Way (good to firm) before finishing a close second next time, but should have a part to play back here. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-14, but his win was at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month and he went close on his return visit last week; looks interesting off same mark here and his last AW run was a good second over C&D in April. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Appreciated the step back up from 6f when finally off the mark over C&D earlier this month; showed the right attitude that day for Mikkel Mortensen and it will only have boosted confidence; one to consider upped a fair 2lb. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Off the mark in a C&D handicap last week (good); has stiffer task with his penalty and was withdrawn on account of fast ground last month, but worth considering. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has led; 0-9 but he only just failed to hang on in an AW handicap (6f) on final 2yo start and he's run two good races over 7f (good and soft) for new connections this year; very likely to go well back over 6f. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Six-race maiden; runner-up at Kempton (7f novice, AW) in June, and third of five at Chester (7f nursery, good) a few weeks later; latest run was disappointing (last of four) and it is slightly disconcerting to see him drop into a seller in hastily applied blinkers; bit to prove. |
4/1 |
|
2 (1) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-5; shaped well when running on for third of five at Chester (7f) on his handicap debut last month, and a heavy-ground defeat at Goodwood since is probably worth forgiving; the step up to 1m could suit and the return to AW is no problem (runner-up here in June). |
13/8 |
|
10 (1) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Now 0-4 but he sat in last of five when third to Sir Albert and Champion Island last time at Chester (7f, good) and was closing on the front two late on; he could easily finish to some effect and make his presence felt if they go hard here. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 2-4 on Tapeta when winning off 4lb lower over 7f at Wolverhampton last month (beat Joud, who was due to run in the 4.30); went without headgear for the first time this year that night and will need to find a bit more again in this more competitive handicap. |

1st 6 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Hasn't built on his nursery win here in first-time blinkers (6f) last November off 7lb higher; headgear dispensed with for the first time since but hard to warm to. |
4/1 |

6th 10 (3) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Successful in a 6f handicap on Wolverhampton AW on final 2yo start but it's been a grind this year despite dropping 9lb since reappearance; up against it for now. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Good run when second at Chelmsford on his nursery debut in December (5f; cheekpieces first time); struggled since and hopes rest on the new tongue tie giving him a lift. |
33/1 |

17th 16 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a good second in 5f Chelmsford nursery but he's failed to fire in three runs this year, last of six in 5f Newcastle handicap in February; hood is added after a break. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Creditable second on handicap debut at Chelmsford in December (5f; cheekpieces on for first time) but below that form both starts since; blinkers tried last time but cheekpieces back on here. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beat two rivals on nursery debut at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) in July and, having been gelded, finished third of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) last month when not taking the home bend too well; won't have the same problem here and should go well. |
9/4 |

3 (2) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well held in his first three starts and only beat two rivals when making a successful nursery debut at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) last month; gelded since and now 3lb higher, but he is still respected for stable that is 6-25 (24%) here in past five seasons. |
