7th 4 (1) |
13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Landed her sixth win in emphatic style at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) in August off 9lb lower; unproven over 1m and may need to come down the weights before she can be considered. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (13) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Fine on soft and good ground; won by 6l at Ffos Las last month (7.5f, good) but a well-held third under a penalty at Haydock (7f, heavy) and now 6lb higher; has won at 6f but perhaps needs further now. |
9/1 |

3rd 9 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when coming well clear at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last Friday; 5lb penalty still leaves her 7lb well in and she went back-to-back under a penalty around this time last year; might take some stopping. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since August 2024 and he wasn't in much form when last seen; drops into 0-60 company and worth a market check. |
14/1 |

6th 3 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

7th 5 (4) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winning yard debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June before finishing second off the same mark next time but he hasn't figured in two starts since, the latest coming after an awkward start over this C&D; could run well if things drop favourably. |
7/1 |
|
9th 6 (10) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Convincing winner at Windsor (6f) on first run for this yard but he couldn't follow up off the same mark next time and never showed back at Windsor last month; had three AW wins earlier in his career but mostly underpowered over the winter and has a double-figure draw today. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exploited reduced mark on yard debut over C&D but was beaten at odds-on when escaping a penalty at Ffos Las; that was a missed opportunity as he's now 6lb higher. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Solid start to his career with a pair of seconds at Salisbury last July; not in same form since and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a turnaround is likely. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Can race freely and didn't get home over 1m on handicap debut at Newmarket in November when last seen; there was sufficient promise in his qualifying runs (6f/7f) to believe he can win races off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
12th 2 (9) |
1st Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Early promise over 7f and 6f (good and good to firm); not so good on AW and on good to soft at Yarmouth since, when racing freely back at 6f; will get more cover today but has to prove stamina for 1m on handicap debut. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Record is only 1-15 and it's 15 months since the win; however, has clear possibilities on these terms switched to a seller, provided he takes well to added blinkers. |
5/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Bumped into one at Haydock and his subsequent flop as favourite can be ignored, with him said to have pulled too hard on soft ground; this mark ought to be within range. |
8/1 |
|
4 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Reduced mark and showed signs of a return to form in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ffos Las in June; duly stepped up when second of 12 at Haydock (7f, good) last month; back up 3lb and another for the shortlist. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won at last year's Galway festival (7f) but didn't come close to staging a repeat when returned there in July; has lack of stamina as a possible excuse for another below-par run at Haydock (1m2f) a fortnight ago but doesn't obviously arrive near the top of his game. |
16/1 |

10th 6 (8) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won at last year's Galway festival but didn't come close to staging a repeat when returned there last time, his second successive below-par effort; his peak form has been achieved around 7f so has stamina and wellbeing to prove. |
9/1 |
|
14th 2 (16) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Only one pound higher than when winning at last year's festival; had the same high draw then, so should not be ruled out; has to bounce back from a below-par Salisbury run; previous fourth placings at Doncaster and Thirsk were respectable; had the same high draw last year. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

Her optimum trip is hard to gauge but her best effort came in her one attempt on soft ground (7.4f); dropping down the weights and she's not ruled out. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Chased home Miss Chester here in May (7f maiden); just one real blip since but didn't improve for going beyond 1m the last twice; safer elsewhere. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (1) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Had form here as 2yo; three 1m turf wins since but she's failed to beat a rival in two of her last three runs (suffered from heat stress in the first of them) and is hard to recommend after a heavy defeat at Chepstow last time. |
25/1 |

16th 3 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Bath (1m, firm) last month and was beaten a length by Revelance over C&D (good to firm) last time; now 3lb better off with the winner, but his best form has come on faster ground; stable triple-handed. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice at 1m last summer and went in again at Bath last month (by just under 2l off 4lb lower); reportedly showing signs of heat stress when below par at Newbury four weeks ago. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win (from 19 attempts) came here (7f, good to firm) in May and he's finished runner-up on three of his last five starts, most recently at Hamilton (5f, soft) eight days ago; he could again be involved. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark over 7f at Ayr (good to firm; probably handles soft) in May and mostly in good form since; not obviously ahead of his mark but Paul Mulrennan is back in the saddle and the drop to 5f is worth investigating. |
9/2 |
|
5th 10 (9) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained a first success for current yard at Ayr (7f) in May and has proved reliable since, runner-up in 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7f) two weeks ago; he can go well again nudged up 1lb. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

10st 12lb |
Winner here in first-time cheekpieces last summer and responded well to first-time blinkers in June; generally struggled otherwise for this yard but it's not impossible to make a case back on the AW, off a sliding mark, switched to a visor. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

7th 5 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Dual AW winner for previous yard; far from solid on his form for current stable, clear best effort when 80-1 second at Wetherby on penultimate start; 0-7 in this sphere. |
