14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Has slipped down the weights after a quiet 2026 campaign; likely to take advantage at some point but perhaps in a less competitive affair than this. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Usually apprentice ridden but Jude Fernandes rides him for the first time; 6lb lower than when winning at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) last June; he has not beaten many in his four starts this season, coming last in a four-runner race last time, but can't be dismissed and the hood he often wore last term (and first run this year) is reinstated. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Rather disappointing kept to Ascot on penultimate start and he was well behind Manxman at York latest; however, returns to slightly calmer waters and has a fighting chance on best form. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Disappointed in this race last year and the form of his close third over C&D that September has not been matched; second of six at Ascot on penultimate start was his best show this term but he needs better than that. |

Won the Shergar Cup Stayers handicap over C&D last August and he was back to that level when second over 1m6f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago; remains on a competitive mark and needs respect. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Kept on well to collar Square d'Alboni in closing stages over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 3-4 over hurdles; still unexposed over this trip and features prominently in calculations. |
6/1 |

1st 2 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful Flat stayer who drew clear to score by over 6l at Aintree (2mf, good) in May and is now 2-3 over hurdles; has the big 12lb penalty here and Sean Bowen is replaced by an amateur but could be seen to even better effect over this longer trip; tongue-tie added. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Hurdles debutante whose Flat efforts for new yard leave a doubt over her current form; previously a fairly useful sort (peak RPR 87) so brings potential provided a resurgent display materialises. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

Won on AW and turf for Hughie Morrison at up to this trip; not that competitive in two runs for current yard and all headgear is now removed; bit risky. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
2-13 overall and 1-8 in handicaps, the handicap win in a four-runner race (1m2f) last November; probably stays 1m6f but did not show it on latest outing; 5lb lower today than at start of this season but the first-time tongue-tie seemingly needs to make a difference. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Quite lightly raced since 2023 (when a fairly useful 1m6f scorer) but he took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 in 1m4f Southwell handicap two weeks ago, doing best of those coming off a steady pace; very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark. |

Rated a good bit higher in the past but has lost his way and was never involved here three weeks ago when behind Pleasant Man. |
14/1 |

6th 1 (6) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has been a useful handicapper in his time but he was pulled up lame at Newbury in August and then tailed off over 2m here last month; tumbling down the weights but comes with risk attached. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Fairly useful at his best on the Flat and made promising start to hurdling career when clear third of 11 over C&D (good) last month; contender if able to build on that performance. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner for Harry Charlton in 2024; not so good in that sphere for his current yard and came in last of six in 1m6f Newmarket handicap 15 days ago; hurdle debut. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024; suffered heavy defeats on first three starts back from an absence for new yard and latest second of three at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in this headgear combination was no big step back in the right direction as he was beaten 8l. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
His last win was two years ago but he's on a dangerous mark and was a good second in amateur jockeys' handicap at Haydock (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; should be fine on this drop back in trip and has claims if he can build on that last run. |
4/1 |
|
5 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
His mark continues to fall and he didn't run badly at Windsor (1m2f) in May when back from an absence; however, he's failed to threaten on his three starts since (1m2f-1m6f) and needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
All five wins from 1m4f to 1m6f; outpaced when fourth of six on reappearance at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May and he couldn't get in a blow over 1m4f last time; will likely need a pace meltdown; first ride under rules for James Hills. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has registered four wins, the last two over 2m on turf (good/good to firm) last summer; has generally struggled this season but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway at Ffos Las last time; was beaten only about 3l in that race and has possibilities if he can build on that; visor is removed and blinkers return. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner for Charlie Johnston (8.5f-12.5f); yet to score over hurdles (0-7) but doesn't have a massive amount to find with Lets Mingle and Summergrounds based on their recent C&D clash; the task isn't an impossible one. |

10st 12lb |
C&D winner whose losing run is up to 16 despite a declining mark, but his second of three behind an improver (who has gone in again since) at Newbury (2m, good to firm) last month wasn't a bad effort; shortlisted. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |

On a losing run and the switch to blinkers (retained) on his last two starts has not seen any upturn; others appeal more. |
