21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went close in Chepstow handicap (1m, good; fine over 1m2f) in June and has strong form claims here if judged on that performance but this regressive and inconsistent 6yo is on a long losing run, and his habit of starting slowly is always a worry; sports first-time cheekpieces; risky. |

31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Now 2lb lower than when going close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and will also be suited by today's longer trip but this regressive and inconsistent 6yo is on a long losing run, and his habit of starting slowly is always a worry. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Keeps missing the break but he still went close two starts ago at Chepstow and it wasn't a bad run here last time, again over 1m; returning to further looks a good move. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thoroughly exposed eight-time winner and a 9yo now; however, positives to take from three of his last four runs and no reason why he won't be involved. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Retains plenty of ability aged nine, having finished a close second in two of his three outings this term, latest at Sandown; was still capable of winning races last summer and can't be ruled out. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight wins divided between hurdling and the Flat; off the same mark as when narrowly beating Mrembo in this 12 months ago and returns off the same mark; penultimate run was on a par with that performance. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained his last four wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (1m-1m2f); handles fast ground but is yet to strike form after three runs this season and might still be too high in the weights. |
25/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Loves it here and loves the mud, so this dry spell has done him no favours; probably one for another day. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on any ground and has won on soft and heavy; has been a bit up and down this season, but she got back on the scoresheet with cosy win in classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and she's a big player if this sets up for her closing style. |

1st 3 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-5 for new stable this year; ran quite well when fifth of ten in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month but was soundly beaten at Chepstow three weeks later; others have more pressing claims. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Knows more about this game than most with this being her 80th start, but she hasn't been running like a winner waiting to happen and hasn't scored on turf since September 2023. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

1m2f winner; positives to take from three of his four runs over hurdles, last time chasing home an odds-on Olly Murphy runner; thereabouts. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the AW last summer (1m2f) and launched hurdling career with two encouraging fourths, latterly when just over 2l behind Jamada in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; safely held on subsequent handicap debut but still considered here, with the switch to better ground a possible source of improvement. |

11st 7lb |
Three hurdle wins this season, most recently when given a nicely judged Joe Anderson ride from off the pace over C&D (good) 12 days ago; 4lb rise is not excessive but the ground may have turn against him now. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Encouraging seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Windsor (good) in June but disappointed at Ffos Las (also 1m2f, good to soft) three weeks later; subsequently given ten weeks to reset and an improved show would not surprise for respected yard. |
10/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Unexposed filly who kept on for fourth on seasonal/handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; probably still has potential; needs to be taken very seriously. |

4th 8 (11) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten all three starts as 2yo, albeit with fourth of seven to a runaway winner at Goodwood (1m1f, heavy) on final occasion appearing to be much improved form; sister to 1m2f-1m6f Saratoga Gold (useful at his best over 1m4f) which prompts some extra interest on this handicap/seasonal debut. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has the odd bit of Flat form but essentially disappointing and he has accomplished little over hurdles the last twice; remains a maiden. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Sole Flat placing came in a 1m3f Class 6 handicap at Windsor in May; now 0-10 in that scene after three modest efforts since June; best watched on hurdling debut. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Raised his game with a creditable third here (11.4f, good) in May but he's struggled in both runs since and is now 0-9; others preferred. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Triple AW winner at up to 13.5f, including easily over C&D against her own sex latest; a 5lb penalty may not prevent her from following up, provided that career-best form is repeated. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins since returned to AW in September and she's finished runner-up in her last four starts; didn't get much luck when a close second at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago and she's a key player off only 1lb higher here. |
9/4 |
|
1 (3) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Nosed ahead close home at Chelmsford (1m5f) five days ago, taking record since racing in AW handicaps to 12331; incurs a penalty but Joe Bradnam takes off 7lb; gives impression she'll stay this new trip; solid. |
