24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Recorded his sixth win when swooping late to justify support at Chester (10.3f, good to soft) two weeks ago; up 3lb but remains feasibly treated on his best form and two of his wins have come on Tapeta; key player. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time winner; yet to strike in 2026 but he retains all his ability and only went down narrowly behind Zambezi Magic at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; 4lb better off for a neck today; one of the likelier ones. |

No win on turf since successful over C&D (good to firm) in July 2024; losing run up to 12, but 4lb below his last winning mark and has won on soft ground; shortlisted. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a first win of the season at Lingfield (1m1f) in August and in good form until beating one in 11.5f handicap at Windsor 15 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
12/1 |

10th 1 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fifth career win when 2l to the good over 1m1f at Lingfield in August (good to firm); just okay since then but he does stay this far and hard to dismiss. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner (good to firm/firm) who was also successful at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) last month; backed that up with another solid effort at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago and is now 1lb lower; steps back up in trip with good claims. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |
|
1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed several times on turf between May and July, but losing run up to 16 and has only been placed once in 11 starts on the AW; others are more compelling. |
12/1 |

9th 3 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time C&D winner; not at best when fifth over 1m here recently and would appeal more on fast ground but moves back up to optimum trip and current mark is workable. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner who goes well here; his last run needs forgiving but he had been in a good run of form; considered, for all that this is a rare run without any form of headgear. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m on reappearance at Bath and has run respectably on four of last five outings; no reason why he shouldn't give a good account. |
4/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all to make a winning handicap debut at Bath in June (1m, good); not used that as a springboard to better things and he wasn't at his best last time but no doubt he has the ability to feature. |
4/1 |
|
3 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed with 1m victory at Bath in June and largely in good form since, fifth of eight in 1m2f Ffos Las handicap 26 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Runner-up in a Southwell novice in January when with James Ferguson; rather disappointing on turf since; on a good mark back on the AW; could run well. |
8/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seven-race maiden but with less to prove than some of these after finishing well for second over this far in a Ffos Las handicap three weeks ago (good to soft; unraced on slower); should be in the thick of it off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
6 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Promising runner-up on AW (1m) in January but she hasn't looked to be crying out for a step up in trip in the meantime and others have less to prove stamina-wise. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Best effort in six outings for Hughie Morrison was her win in a handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) in August, the first of two starts in cheekpieces; first-time hood when pipped in 15-runner race at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago, which was a bright start under Ashley Lewis for new yard; up 3lb but a player if she's as effective on today's ground. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort in her six outings for Hughie Morrison last season when winning 1m2f Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) in cheekpieces; a first-time hood is the choice of headgear setting out for a new yard after 197 days off; less exposed than most of these and would need considering if the betting vibes are positive. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Seven-time course winner, five times on heavy ground; back in good form lately, winning at Chepstow before respectable sixth in higher-grade company at Chester (also 1m2f, good to soft); ought to be hard to beat in these conditions. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Goes well on slow ground and was winning for the ninth time when getting the better of Meet Me In Meraki at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; 4lb worse off for a neck but does have a talented claimer booked. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
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. |
