14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two-time course winner; off the mark on turf at Chester (12.3f, good) in August and the track may not have suited at Epsom last time; career best needed to defy this mark though. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Three wins on the AW and her first on turf at Chester (1m4f, good) last time when readily accounting for a subsequent winner; consistent mare and, allthough up 4lb, Arron D'Arcy (has ridden a winner) takes off 7lb. |
7/4 |

1st 2 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
All three wins have been on the AW (1m/1m4f) but she's a consistent mare with comparable form on turf and should give her running once more (second on previous visit here); chance. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
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. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned mostly on AW this season; has failed to repeat the form of her July success; has done most of her winning on turf but is well exposed, unlike some of today's rivals; the oldest contender. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Her Kempton success (1m3f, Polytrack) in July came in a race run at a crawl; still 3lb higher and out of the frame in three starts since; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Winner off 3lb lower here last month (1m3f); firmly put in her place at Lingfield since, including by a load of 3yos latest. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Mostly in fine form this summer but his standards have slipped in his last two races (1m4f/1m2f) and, thoroughly exposed ahead of his 42nd career start, others are more intriguing. |
13/2 |
|
11th 9 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Third in this race last year; mostly in fine form this summer, which demands plenty of respect even though the very best of that form came in two performances on good to firm at 1m4f. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect. |

Respectable hurdles form since joining this yard; no impression switched back to the Flat in a 2m handicap at Galway in July; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
10th 17 (10) |
29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |

Twice a winner in Britain for James Ferguson at 1m4f; kept to hurdling so far by current trainer, just okay form; first try at this extended trip, okay mark. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
A second go at hurdling saw him tailed off again three weeks ago, but he'd clocked up three successive minor honours on Flat (1m4f/1m2f) going into that, which keeps him in the equation. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat scorer for Ben Brookhouse last summer; only eighth in 2m Newbury maiden on his hurdling debut in December but returns to this sphere having been in good form on the Flat; not out of things. |
9/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Perhaps best over further but he was only nabbed late on over C&D last week and, although 1lb higher, Toby Moore rides him for the first time claiming 7lb; can be inconsistent but he's run three excellent races in defeat around here; solid chance. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came on the AW at Newcastle (1m) last November but he's finished third at Chester (about 1m4f; good/good to soft) in his two starts this year; off for three months but drops back in trip with claims. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1-2 on the AW and 0-9 on turf, though in the frame seven times as when third of 15 in apprentice handicap over C&D (good) on his reappearance last month; a couple of those in behind have won since and he makes the shortlist. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Not seen on AW since his first three starts; arrives in good form, winning at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last month and second at the same track 17 days ago (cheekpieces first time); one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
May be best on good ground or softer; has plenty of experience of this track (he's the only one in this field with any) and a solid record here, including his very narrow, rallying win over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago; back up 3lb but unlikely to be far away if he takes to first-time headgear. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner who sits on a good mark and has positives to take from his recent third at Sandown (1m2f, good); has been running in higher grades than this; player. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 1m4f winner; ran creditably (clear fourth) back over 1m6f last time, while leaving the impression 2m is worth a go; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces (has form in blinkers/visor). |
7/2 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Record is 2-10; gelded prior to success at Thirsk and respectable effort at York this term, both over 1m4f; still on career-high mark but ran well in sole 1m6f attempt and may be capable of another good run. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran poorly on final start last term but gelded soon afterwards and, with visor/blinkers dispensed with, he returned with a narrow win in 12-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month, gradually working his way to the front in final strides under 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh; 4lb higher today but could have more to offer in what's only his second campaign. |

Sold for 600,000gns after winning a 1m6f Ascot Listed race (good to soft) for Andrew Balding last autumn; didn't make the expected impact over hurdles for Nicky Henderson earlier this year (pulled up in Triumph at Cheltenham when last seen) but resumes his Flat career back with a yard which is in tremendous form. |

11st 0lb |
1-14 on the Flat, the win coming over about 1m3f at Yarmouth (good; fair form) in April; beaten 14l into second in a six-runner maiden hurdle at Huntingdon a month ago; likely to need more here. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Odds-on winner over nearly 1m4f at Yarmouth (good) last month and ran okay on faster ground at Leicester (both runs in a visor); he's been found a very winnable race for his hurdle debut. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f) in June and she had some close calls on turf the following month; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she couldn't hang in there back on AW last time and that was a bit disappointing; mixed messages. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has improved this summer, winning at Hamilton (1m3f) in June and losing out by narrow margins on next two starts; soft ground excuses a subsequent defeat but her recent Brighton run suggests improvement is needed back on Polytrack (has form on the surface). |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
An improving 3yo at about this trip before finishing last of 12 runners at York, where she was encountering slow ground for the first time; back on a sound surface she's dangerous to dismiss of what's still a fair mark. |
