19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won small-field maiden hurdle in June and small-field Salisbury handicap (1m2f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in July; had ground excuse for recent defeat in a seller but others appeal more all the same. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won over hurdles in June and back on the Flat with a win and a second in small-field 1m2f handicaps (only runs in cheekpieces); every chance at these weights, though slow ground would be a grey area. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sauntered home in a June juvenile hurdle and, after getting turned over in similar event at Stratford six days later, he got up late to land four-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn that day are retained and he's respected up 3lb. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer who ran to a useful level when second in a C&D maiden and a 7f novice at Haydock on his first two starts; disappointed at York's Ebor meeting but that was a hot race and he's a leading contender back in these calmer waters. |
5/4 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Kingman colt and Royal Lodge entry who seems a winner waiting to happen, having finished a close second in a couple of 7f events, clear of remainder at Haydock (good) latest; brings solid claims to this bigger assignment. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
First foal of a useful 12.4f winner who gave it a good go from the front when a half-length runner-up at 7-1 on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; leading claims on this second start. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Nine-race maiden; second from off the pace over 1m2f at Doncaster and Haydock this summer; not disgraced on latest outing; looked effective here in his pre-handicapping days and looks worth a go at this new trip. |
7/2 |
|
7th 11 (7) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Still a maiden but he's getting closer, beaten just half a length at Doncaster (good to firm) in July and then by a neck at Haydock (also 1m2f; good) last month; possibly a shade unfortunate on latter occasion but this is a better race and he'll need to pull out a little bit more; that's not inconceivable, though. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't see the trip out when fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) in July but has been runner-up at Thirsk (6f, good) and Newcastle (6f, AW) in two starts being gelded; blinkers now go on and he sets the standard. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Good effort when second over C&D (second start) in June; made a big move before not staying 7f here next time and was gelded before finishing a solid second of 16 at Thirsk (6f, good) last month; leading contender. |
6/5 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown promise all three starts, losing two places near the finish when fourth of ten at Newcastle (7f, AW; subsequently gelded) on latest; should be suited by today's drop back to 6f; remains open to improvement and commands plenty of respect. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Quirky filly who often loses ground at the start and/or races too freely; won 7f AW novice in January but was given a break after two down-the-field runs in March/April and returned with 23l defeat on turf this month; goes beyond 1m and sports cheekpieces for first time here; others are safer. |
20/1 |
|
10th 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Raced mostly on AW, winning 7f novice at Newcastle in January, but she acts on turf and this is her first handicap on the surface; she lacks a recent run though and perhaps this will be needed. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Has made the frame over 7f on his last three starts but the latest was in a seller at Musselburgh and was no more than a respectable effort; speedy enough to cope with the drop to 6f. |
12/1 |
|
6 (4) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Made the frame twice over 7f at Haydock last month, finishing second in maiden then creditable fourth in nursery; raced only four times and has done enough to warrant respect in this field. |
5/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise both turf starts (well held on AW in between), latterly second in maiden over C&D (good) 23 days ago; looks on a competitive mark for nursery debut. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Up and down over 5f during this 3yo campaign; steps back up in trip for the first time since his debut but others preferred. |

8th 7 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Up and down during this 3yo campaign but he was a good third at Musselburgh (5f, good) in April and would have been closer than sixth at Chester (5f, good) recently granted a clear run; could be involved. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
A winner for the Crisfords; nearly won again at Musselburgh in April (5f) but has trailed home last in his two races since, latterly with a tongue-tie and blinkers tried (now removed); drawn wide. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Inconsistent 3yo maiden who has been campaigned mostly at up to 1m2f; by no means a safe option but dam's side of pedigree suggests this return to further may have a positive effect. |
25/1 |

5th 10 (5) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Second, albeit comfortably held, over C&D (soft) this time last year but overall profile makes little appeal. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

3yo maiden; somewhat resurgent with cheekpieces fitted in AW classified contest last time but needs to build on that effort. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Poor maiden on the Flat but showed some promise when third of six at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in August on his second hurdle start; place claims, probably at best. |

3rd 3 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Lowly rated on the Flat (0-6); ran well to a point but ended up well held when fifth of six on hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good) in June; improvement required. |
14/1 |

5th 1 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Lowly rated on the Flat (0-6); never better than midfield in added cheekpieces at Thirsk (1m4f, Class 5; beaten over 10l, 40-1) three weeks ago; trainers sole representative in this in 2024 was an early casualty; stablemate of Steel Fixer. |
