9th 12 (5) |
1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-10 since debut win but was hindered by a spot of trouble last time when favourite for the Sandown race won by Dancing Tiger and that was only his second attempt in a visor (retained); possibilities off a further reduced mark. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won on Pontefract debut last August, but he's 0-9 since and hasn't threatened off a falling mark in six handicaps this season; wasn't beaten far at Pontefract (visor added) last month but others are more persuasive. |
7/2 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Yet to pose a serious threat this season and unproven at the trip, but he kept on well for fifth in a hot race at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two starts ago, and he didn't run badly in a big-field 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last time; not ruled out in first-time visor. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner in March who returned from wind surgery to win over 5f here in July then a Lingfield classified (6f); didn't give his running back in handicap company last month but win record stands out in this crowd. |
11/2 |

4th 7 (6) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Underwent wind surgery in June and it looks to have done the trick judged on his Wolverhampton (5f) and Lingfield (6f) wins since; could still have a bit more to offer. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Mehmas gelding who took a step forward when third of eight in 5f Southwell maiden 23 days ago; he may do better still with a tongue-tie added, so needs considering. |
3/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
£260,000 breeze-up 2yo; third of seven on his Nottingham debut (5f, good) in June and, having been gelded, finished fifth of 11 under a positive ride at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) 18 days ago (over 3l behind Hypnotised); return to this trip may suit, but he still has work to do. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

£260,000 breeze-up 2yo; gelded since finishing third of seven at Nottingham (5f) three months ago when running on after a tardy start; open to improvement upped in trip. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won his maiden over C&D this time last year; progressed in turf handicaps this season, without winning one, latterly when a solid third in a big field at Doncaster, and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 12 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
3yo who's had six races; gelded before his 5f seconds at Sandown (good; to Wheels Of Fire) and Newbury (good to firm; 3lb higher today) on last two outings; beaten a neck in the latter, when hanging left and bumping a rival did himself no favours; withdrawn twice since when the ground was good to soft; brings major interest if this ground is suitable. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f wins as a 2yo; some creditable efforts in defeat at up to an extended 1m this season but not at best the last twice; this is a slight drop in grade but the other 3yos make greater appeal. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Two 6f wins as a 2yo; several creditable efforts this season but has looked held by the handicapper, fifth over this trip at Chester four weeks ago; needs something extra. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice on AW (6f) as a 2yo; his best run this season came at Chester when a close second over 7.6f at the May meeting; good third at Hamilton last month (first run after a gelding operation); each-way shout. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Not quite the same horse on Kempton AW last time as he had been over C&D in August, firstly when depriving Pennine Way (good to firm) before finishing a close second next time, but should have a part to play back here. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 1-14, but his win was at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month and he went close on his return visit last week; looks interesting off same mark here and his last AW run was a good second over C&D in April. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Appreciated the step back up from 6f when finally off the mark over C&D earlier this month; showed the right attitude that day for Mikkel Mortensen and it will only have boosted confidence; one to consider upped a fair 2lb. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on turf but Tapeta is his surface so far and was much too strong for his rivals at Southwell (6f; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago; no impact at Catterick (7f) since and has a shade to prove off new mark, 7lb higher than for the win. |
7/1 |
|
9th 1 (11) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Impressive when off the mark at Southwell eight days ago in first-time cheekpieces; fairly treated under a penalty and too soon to say he's not as good on turf but 6f on Tapeta evidently suits well, and he'll need to settle on his first crack at 7f from stall 11. |

2nd 4 (2) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two emphatic wins in May when these cheekpieces went on (7f/1m, good/good to firm) and he was back on the scoresheet in a big field at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) four weeks ago, again with plenty in hand; highly progressive and could still be well treated even after an 8lb rise since last time. |
3/1 |
|
1st 8 (17) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained two emphatic wins in May after the cheekpieces went on, the second one over this C&D (good to firm); a 10lb rise seemed to find him out when third of four at Newbury (1m, good to firm) the following month and he needs to resume his progress; unraced on ground slower than good. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive; 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing a convincing 7f Lingfield win with another over 1m at Chepstow (good to firm, 4-6 favourite); this is a sterner test from 10lb higher than last time but, with fast ground to suit, it'll be no surprise if he's up to the challenge. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has been running respectably in nurseries and now drops back in distance; vulnerable to anything progressive but should give another good account from low draw. |
11/2 |
|
8 (1) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kept on for third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month and suited by the step up in trip when second there (8.6f) last time, when clear of the third; thereabouts if the return to turf isn't an issue. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Too Darn Hot colt who is out of 1m/8.5f winner; no impact in four runs so far but he made some late headway when third on nursery debut here (7f) 12 days ago; that was eyecatching and he looks interesting on this step up in trip. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Goodwood (5f, good) in May and has continued in good heart, not beaten far when eighth of 16 in the competitive 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) before close third of four at Goodwood (5f, soft); he's in with an each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to winning form over C&D (good) last month, aided by first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and the drop back to the minimum trip; respectable midfield finish in the competitive 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last Friday and holds strong claims back down in grade. |
6/4 |
|
8th 4 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
All turf races have been on good or quicker but dam's best form was on soft; sole 2yo win was over 7f on the AW; ran well for a long way over 6f at Ascot on second run back and proved thoroughly at home over the new 5f trip at Goodwood (good; first-time cheekpieces) since, racing well within himself and coming clear for an impressive win; up 6lb but has better to come. |

Well down the field in three 6f maiden/novice races this summer but ought to be suited by this extra furlong and is another who may fare better now switched to a low-grade nursery. |
