1st 4 (4) |
17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Maiden/novice winner who has unconvincing handicap form but could conceivably prove resurgent off current mark, which is 16lb below his opening one; market support should be noted. |
10/1 |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
7f maiden win on turf last summer was followed by a C&D novice success 12 months ago; down the field in four fast-ground turf handicaps in midsummer but dropped 11lb as a consequence; now tackles his first Class 5 handicap with cheekpieces enlisted; interesting contender. |
12/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two 7f novices last August/September; dropping down the weights and a market check is advised but he's been down the field at Doncaster on his three starts this season (7f, good to firm). |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dropping down the weights and he didn't run badly when sixth behind a couple of these over C&D 18 days ago; that run didn't really suggest he was primed to strike though; change of headgear today. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a Newcastle novice (7f, AW) last November but he's found it tough going in handicaps this season and was only sixth of 12 at Newcastle (first-time blinkers) two weeks ago; still lightly raced but he has something to prove on this drop back to 6f. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner last November; beaten 3l when fifth of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in July but he was beaten a long way at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago; drops back in trip with blinkers now tried. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor (5f) in May but his form has nosedived, last of seven in 5f Sandown handicap in July; back from a break now with a bit to prove. |
25/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Windsor (5f, good to firm) in May and second at Bath (5f, firm) next time; the track may not have suited at Brighton last time and he could bounce back with a big run. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Lightly raced but didn't last long with the Crisfords and hasn't offered all that much in two handicaps. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent gelding who ran another solid race when second of eight at Southwell two weeks ago; sets the standard and looks sure to go well again. |
4/6 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-race maiden; disappointing favourite kept to 7f last time but gave the impression this drop back in trip is worth exploring; major player on peak efforts. |
11/4 |
|
5 (6) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Shaped well amidst evident inexperience on his Chelmsford debut last November (6f); not so good on his reappearance in May but he was gelded and underwent wind surgery soon after that; back from a break with a fine second at Kempton two weeks ago (wore this combination of accessories for the first time); obvious claims with a repeat. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-race maiden; shown precious little since wind surgery, toiling over 7f here (40-1) 11 days ago; a most unlikely candidate. |
66/1 |
|
4 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Second run, which came here over 6f, was better than her first but she was last of six over this C&D two weeks ago; makes her handicap debut with better needed. |
12/1 |
|
6 (1) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second run was better than her first but she still has a mountain to climb in this company. |
