3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) in June and has gone close in handicaps on his next three starts (including on good to soft), most recently behind subsequent Cambridgeshire runner-up Indalo in the Racing League at Southwell (1m, AW); this progressive 3yo is firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won Beverley maiden in June on his fifth start and has gone close the next twice, most recently beaten a neck in Racing League at Windsor (1m) a fortnight ago; has a 5lb rise to defy but this 3yo was clear of the third last time and is in good hands to continue to progress; on the shortlist. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden for whom the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive; however, he could he sharper in the first-time visor and he was denied a clear run when fourth of 15 at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, when no match for three improving, fellow 3yos; could be a contender. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 albeit in the frame on ten occasions, as when beaten a head into second of four in a Wolverhampton maiden (9.5f, AW) a fortnight ago; this looks a competitive race in which to attempt to break his duck, though. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Useful form in defeat as a 2yo; comparable efforts in handicap company at Goodwood (1m, good) in May and at Southwell nine days ago; leading form claims but could be vulnerable to something less exposed. |

Second in a division of this last year (soft) and three wins this term; ran okay when fifth of 13 at Beverley last time and not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
8 (12) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |
10/1 |
|
6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Similar type to Hot Cash, having been successful on most recent start in this grade (8.5f, AW); however, looks harshly handicapped, being 5lb higher than last attempt on turf. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
3yo who made it three wins from his nine starts when taking a Racing League event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; very disappointing in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Thursday and needs to bounce back swiftly, but he's not discounted in view of previous promise. |
12/1 |
|
9 (14) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His first win at around a mile when beating 12 rivals with some comfort in a Racing League handicap at Wolverhampton; effectively only 2lb higher with Jack Nicholls taking off 5lb. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race. |
25/1 |
|
4th 11 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Just 2lb higher than when winning over 7f here in April, but is unraced beyond 1m1f and this looks a tough race in which to prove his stamina. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 since winning off 2lb higher at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year, but has gone close a couple of times in that period as when beaten a head and a neck into third of 14 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month (winner has gone in again twice since); goes very well on soft ground and has won twice here (7f/8.5f); a player. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing sequence and he was a below-par fifth of nine in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; others are preferred. |
33/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Latest win came in a claimer and he was never a threat back in a handicap at Chester last time; fully exposed and others appeal more. |
22/1 |
|
7th 12 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Normally ridden to be produced late, as when successful at Salisbury (7f, good) in June, but was given a straightforward ride to land a claimer over C&D (good) 20 days ago; this looks tougher however and more is required. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
The last run wasn't his best (four ran) but he was bang there in his four previous races, all handicaps at 7f/1m; drops into a claimer on favourable terms and must have every chance; has run well here before. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
None too consistent and he has been well beaten on his last two starts; has the lowest BHA rating in the field and has to concede weight all round so he looks up against it. |
7/1 |
|
3 (11) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Blew hot and cold for his former stable and it has been a similar story for James Owen, his win at Southwell and second over 1m here surrounded by lesser efforts; chance if on one of his good days; cheekpieces added to usual accessories. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Emphatic win on stable debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) early last month; disappointing in next two runs but he got back on track with a clear second at Kempton (hood reapplied) 11 days ago; on unchanged mark and has claims if he can back that up. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
11-time AW winner, the latest a Newcastle seller for the Moores (1m, Tapeta) last October; regressive for this yard in the meantime despite plummeting in the weights; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |
11/1 |
|
10th 7 (12) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |
9/1 |
|
9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m) early this year; runner-up over 1m in two of his four starts on turf but below form in both spheres on last two outings; bit to prove, including on softer than good. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (15) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m), but runner-up in two of his three starts on turf (both over this trip on straight tracks); needs to put a modest effort at Southwell (1m, AW) behind him, though. |
14/1 |
|
13th 10 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
C&D novice winner who was a close third in a warm 3yo handicap over C&D last month; beaten 5l when runner-up at Newmarket since but behind a fast-improving winner and the AW may be more his thing; major player back here. |

A sixth win here when beating five rivals in March on latest outing (7f); went up only 2lb but lacking a recent run is probably not ideal in this much deeper race. |
14/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |

10st 0lb |
Three turf wins over a straight 1m for Edward Bethell as a 3yo, latterly off a 2lb lower mark, before struggling during a limited campaign last year; would need a career-best effort for his new yard (also responsible for Spaceman) back from 11 months off. |

13th 8 (6) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three of four 1m handicap starts to end last season, including on soft; disappointed in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on reappearance (final start for Ed Bethell) but better signs when sixth of 13 in 1m Southwell Racing League event last month on his first outing for Richard Fahey; entitled to come on for the run. |
12/1 |

2 (12) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |

9st 9lb |
Progressive; unlucky second in the 2025 Cambridgeshire and fared best of the far-side runners in this year's Royal Hunt Cup; justified favouritism in the Coral Challenge at Sandown (1m, good to firm) and is 2lb well in under a small penalty for that deserved change of luck; respected. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

3rd 27 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Unraced on softer than good; record is 4-11 (AW/turf); good second in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (would likely have won but for traffic issues) and Newbury event (collared by Classic) in last two appearances; progressive, represents last year's winning yard and has a big prize in him; respected. |

She's 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February and when running well at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; she's 0-12 on turf and unproven at this trip, and she's been below par at favourite course Newcastle on her last two starts (1m). |
