13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Highly progressive in handicaps and 2-2 in such races this season (7f, good to soft), doing it readily each time; this lightly raced 4yo has won five of her seven starts and could take this rise in grade in her stride. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo filly who readily beat 14 rivals at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in sole start this season, taking turf record to 4-4; looks likely to cope with an 8lb rise; goes well fresh and commands respect on return from another break, with further improvement very plausible. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
In a good vein of form, winning twice on Lingfield's AW during the summer and second to Tex in amateurs' race over 1m here (also placed twice over C&D) last time, collared late having briefly gone clear; the fact there was a long way back to the third has resulted in him being raised to a clear career-high mark but still merits respect in his current mood. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has won two of his last four races, with the latest at Lingfield (visor remover; 1m, AW) quite decisive at the finish; carries no penalty and he's 6lb well in; 0-9 on turf but effective on the surface. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
On a lengthy losing run and yet to win a handicap; has been getting closer as his mark continues to fall but his win record is offputting. |
9/2 |
|
5th 13 (5) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-9 since joining this yard but his last two runs have been much more encouraging; led his group home when third of 13 over C&D last month; thrown in on the pick of his 3yo form and could be ready to strike. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
It's now 15 runs since his last victory, but he posted a very good second of 16 (in change of headgear) in 1m Chepstow handicap 15 days ago; a player off the same mark with visor retained. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Keeps getting better and arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Yarmouth (final start for James Ferguson) and over C&D; heavily backed and quickened smartly to come from the rear and beat seven rivals last time; does not look overburdened by a 5lb rise, and although this is stronger he looks sure to go well again. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
His second of 11 over C&D (wore cheekpieces) on reappearance in March was a new high and he bettered that when landing soft-ground Yarmouth handicap (1m) in first-time blinkers in June; off since and no headgear for this stable debut (same owners) but he still commands respect. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice as a 3yo, including a handicap at Goodwood (1m, good) last May; placed on his first two starts this year (1m/1m2f) but below his best when held in fourth at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) 46 days ago; drops back in trip with blinkers now tried. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |
|
11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily regressive 4yo who is yet to add to his two 2yo wins; ran fairly well when fourth on last two outings, latterly over C&D in refitted cheekpieces, but others in this field have more appealing profiles. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins on soft/heavy ground over 7f in 2024; quite inconsistent since but did run respectably when fourth of 12 at Brighton (1m, good) 23 days ago; cheekpieces back on. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Not the most consistent but is well treated on his best form and drops into a 0-70 for the first time; worth a second look. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

He's 1-22 overall but came from rear to finish third behind a major improver over 1m at Newmarket three weeks ago (good to firm); should have some part to play. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins for James Owen this year, the latest over 1m here (good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 7f winner this season; looked as good as ever when clear second to progressive rival at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago but recent 4lb rise demands a bit more from him here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but has form over this far and it might yet end up being his best trip; due a 1lb rise after finding one too good at Yarmouth last time (7f); unlikely to be too far away. |

C&D win as a 2yo; first success since when dead-heating in a 1m handicap here 23 days ago (subsequently awarded first place outright); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

1st 3 (6) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Just 1lb higher than when making a successful nursery debut here (7f) in September 2024, but has been out of form for a while and has still to convince over this far. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a modest 8.6f seller at Wolverhampton last September; not so good since and he'll need to be at his best to take this; is at least unexposed at the trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ended his 2025 campaign in sellers, winning once and finishing third twice; well treated on best form but isn't sure to reproduce it and record of 0-8 in handicaps adds doubt. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

5th 3 (3) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten 12 times since his winning debut (for Karl Burke); went close at Chelmsford in March but two runs since have been underwhelming; tongue-tie now reached for. |
16/1 |

10th 6 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won since his debut in February last year when trained by Karl Burke; went close when beaten a nose at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and if he can reproduce that effort on turf then he would be a player. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo who got off the mark in a blanket finish at Leicester (7f, good) in July; 1lb higher and may have more improvement in him with that win under his belt. |
