28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who ended 2025 with 6f success at Windsor in June; not disgraced in 6f handicaps at Kempton and back at Windsor this season; possibilities from a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Justified short-priced favouritism in the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; absent until returning at Kempton in March, a race where he was well supported but weakened in the final furlong; still has low mileage. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly-raced 5yo who has won three of his six starts; readily justified short-priced favouritism at Windsor (6f, good to firm) when last seen in June and it is unlikely this mark is beyond him; takes on match-fit rivals here though and may come on for the run. |

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. |
66/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 7f Polytrack winner in his younger days but does most racing now over 6f; made a poor debut in a claimer for his new yard here last month, having been picked up for 10,000gns from Richard Hughes last autumn; surprise to see him take this. |
50/1 |
|
11th 4 (10) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has gained his wins over 6f on turf and 7f on AW; inconsistent since last success but has a chance on these figures now into a claimer if in form after his break (yard debut); drawn wide. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped slightly when never-dangerous favourite in Class 3 here three weeks ago, following two seconds and a win (all also C&D) on previous three starts; back to Class 4 and, like most of these, has each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
7th 14 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
In excellent form of late and ended a long losing run with a deserved fourth C&D win in eight-runner contest a week ago; very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty with Oisin Murphy again up. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run up to 15, but has been running well in defeat as when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Windsor (5f, good) last month; races off the same mark, but he is another for whom this trip looks sharp enough. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher but that was on AW in April 2024 and he has mixed record in four runs this year; ran well at Kempton (6f) in March but he was remote when third at Leicester last time and needs to bounce back again after that disappointing effort. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing turf run goes back four years and he wasn't particularly convincing on grass in the middle months of 2025; however, he is 11lb lower than the latest attempt and his recent AW run at Kempton was quite encouraging; revival on the cards with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won four times on AW for James Tate; good second at Southwell (6f) when last seen in April; sold for 13,000gns later that month; switching to turf is the obvious concern as he has been unplaceed in three previous runs on grass. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Turned things around with a win at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month but he was only seventh of ten in his follow-up bid at Wolverhampton (favourite); used to act on Polytrack; in-form yard also runs Split Elevens; inconsistent. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Unable to land a telling blow on first two stable starts but rewarded good market support when scoring by a neck at Southwell (7f) this month and remains well handicapped on older form; high on the list. |
