24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May and runner-up on next three starts (1m4f, good/good to firm); below par at Doncaster a fortnight ago but good to soft ground may not have suited; may well bounce back. |
14/1 |

8th 1 (2) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Salisbury in May and better form when second at Goodwood, Ascot and Newbury in his three starts since; all were at 1m4f and he's versatile tactically, having made the running on penultimate start; below form much earlier in career on softer than good; thereabouts if ground is okay. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won at Salisbury in May and improved again when second since at Goodwood (again 1m4f on good) and Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); versatile tactically and made the running last time; raised another 3lb but looks set for another bold show. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) off 7lb lower in July; went close at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and a stumble at the start may have lit him up when midfield at Doncaster 12 days ago; career-high mark but he's not ruled out. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (6) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; never got involved at Ripon next time but was clear of the rest when narrowly denied by an improver at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 11 days ago; due to be 3lb higher in future but slow ground would be a concern. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last July who's never run on the AW off a mark quite this high (been in good form on turf lately, including a Nottingham win off 5lb lower); needs to find a bit more again. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won two 1m2f turf handicaps in May and has held his form pretty well since; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f three weeks ago; not favoured by the weights but likely to give another good account. |
11/2 |
|
5th 11 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf in May (1m2f) and in the main has run pretty well in defeat subsequently; also effective on Tapeta; goes into the unknown stamina-wise today but could be thereabouts if seeing out the trip. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has held his form since two wins at 1m2f (good to firm and good to soft) in May; perhaps got competitive too far out last time at Salisbury but he doesn't look ahead of his mark. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Ran well to finish third off a sliding mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good) in May but he was disappointing when favourite at Beverley (1m2f) last time; has bit to prove again after that and he's now 0-13. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

12-race maiden; creditable third to a pair of subsequent winners at Carlisle last time (1m1f, good); conditions suit; should go well. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Seized the chance to dominate from the front at Lingfield (1m2f) this month, opening his account at the 18th attempt; only fifth of nine there (1m4f) since, though, and overall profile remains unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Lingfield last month before going one better here a week ago (again 1m2f), beating six rivals to notch his first success at the 18th attempt; a 5lb penalty still leaves him well treated on his previous form but he's yet to fully prove himself over this far. |
3/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Had dropped a long way in the weights when beaten just a neck over C&D 17 days ago; that took his record to 0-17, but a repeat would give him every chance in this company; may be worth chancing. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June and gained his fourth success when landing a 2m1f handicap in first-time cheekpieces (discarded today) last month on his final start for Brian Ellison; 3lb higher on this stable debut and he's won his only previous start on the AW. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June when back from a break; unplaced at odds-on over hurdles next time and also below par when back on the Flat at York (2m, good to firm) most recently; however, the first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift and there can be optimism that this trip will be within range; trainer won this last year; in calculations. |
7/4 |
|
5th 9 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |

Twice runner-up in 1m handicaps but he's inconsistent and has stamina to prove over this far; blinkers, in which he's finished second and seventh, now return. |

7th 9 (4) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

3yo maiden; inconsistent (2727) since handicapping; not sure what to expect and he's taking on some recent winners. |
14/1 |

7th 12 (11) |
7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in first-time blinkers on nursery debut last September (1m, good), then flopped on soft ground; back on song with good second in first-time cheekpieces on reappearance at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and this 3yo is a contender if the headgear maintains its positive effect. |

Brother to Group 1 winner Snow Lantern but failed to raise his modest profile on handicap debut over this far (17-2); too much to prove. |

5 (8) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Brother to Group 1 winner Snow Lantern/half-brother to the yard's useful Midnight Gun; yet to be involved in a finish (1m) and absent since poor turf debut in the spring; interesting to see how he goes in the market. |
