3rd 1 (5) |
14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Secured his fifth win when scoring at this track (7f) last October off this mark; hasn't hit the same heights since and best watched until showing more positive signs. |
9/1 |

7th 13 (9) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five of his wins have been on the AW, the most recent at this track over 7f last October; wasn't at his best at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) in July and a wide trip can be given as an excuse for a below-par effort here over 7f last month; each-way claims. |
20/1 |

8th 8 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
5-21 on AW compared to 0-11 on grass; struggled off his lower turf mark at Epsom four weeks ago but he had reappeared with a creditable effort here previously and his last success was over C&D; could be dangerous if he gets a good pace and some luck. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed colt who has been runner-up in two starts since returning from an absence, most recently on handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) nine days ago, pulling clear of the rest with the winner; returns to AW and he's a contender off the same mark. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
150,000euros yearling; unexposed colt who showed promise in novice events, including a clear second behind an impressive winner at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's an interesting contender. |
5/2 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Raced freely on debut last autumn; showed similar form when 3l fourth of 12 at Lingfield (1m, AW) three weeks later; bred to be useful and commands respect after nearly nine months off. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who was well beaten in an amateur riders' race at Ascot (1m, good) last time but went there having been runner-up three times in a row (7f/1m, including on soft/good to firm); no surprise if she bounces back with a bold bid. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 (9) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Another good run in defeat at Windsor last weekend (1m, soft) and gets in here off an untouched mark; trip/ground fine; has to be considered. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Suffered two near misses in July, on the AW and over C&D (good to firm; prominent in both those races); turn looks near, though she'd have questions to answer should the ground ease. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Brings good stats as he's 2-3 since wearing cheekpieces and gained those wins over C&D (good/good to firm) to take his Epsom record to 2311; respected in the retained headgear. |
2/1 |
|
4 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring over C&D (cheekpieces added) last month but he finished ninth of 12 in his follow-up bid at Brighton; now drops back in grade but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached. |
13/2 |
|
9th 11 (7) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole run here wasn't his best at two but that was on soft; resurgent the last twice, a close third (good) followed by a stylish win (also Epsom, 8.5f; good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces; seems to love that track which bodes well for Brighton; back up 5lb which looks perfectly fair. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Close third over C&D (good to firm) early last month and that performance puts him in the mix, but he's been inconsistent this year and was only fifth of six behind Clipsham Noble over C&D (good to firm) last time; the cheekpieces adopted on that latest start are left off. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came in a 1m Lingfield maiden last August when trained by the Crisfords; has dropped a fair way in the weights since joining this yard and he ran well when third over this C&D 18 days ago on first try over this far; can go well again with cheekpieces now added. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled since winning a Polytrack maiden for the Crisford team last August and has come more than a stone down the weights for his current yard this season; goes beyond an extended 1m for the first time and is hard to recommend. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins, including C&D, this summer; three defeats at Epsom have followed August's 7f win there but he is back to a winning mark and this is an ease in grade; not discounted. |
11/1 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Brighton (1m, good) in June and here (7f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts here on his last two starts (including C&D) but 1lb out of the handicap today and may again be vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (9) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up performer who gained his second success at this track when getting up late over 7f last month (good to firm); stuck at it for fourth here ten days ago (again 7f; good to soft) and should have this run to suit on his return to 1m; strongly considered. |
