28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All British wins have been over 1m at York and he's unraced on the AW; some respectable shows in better handicaps this year but not the last twice; bit risky. |
10/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His three wins in Britain have all come over 1m at York but he is fully effective at other tracks and he wasn't beaten far in his one Sandown run back in June 2022 (1m, good to firm); rain won't bother him and he's slipped to a dangerous mark but he will need a good pace to aim at back at 7f; stable have won the last two runnings. |

17th 14 (1) |
21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Scored just once in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 but on the last three occasions it was over 1m in the summer at York and in 2022 it was in this race; 14th and 13th in the last two runnings of it, with reappearance the pick of his mixed record this season, but he's much too well handicapped to be ignored. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off 1lb lower; ran well over 8.6f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start but not in the same form at Southwell three weeks ago; moves back up in trip with Billy Loughnane booked; contender. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All three wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming over 1m2f at Lingfield in April off a mark 1lb lower than today's; has been running well in recent starts and was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) two weeks ago; solid claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-25 on turf but he's been running well in that sphere this summer; remains feasibly treated off 1lb lower than for his Lingfield win (1m2f) in April and he's respected back on AW. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Went close on stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last November and he's 3lb lower here; however, his form has gone the wrong way since, particularly of late on his first two turf starts. |
25/1 |
|
18th 13 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
He made his debut only as a 4yo but it was a winning one at Newcastle (1m); subsequently useful form on AW included another narrow win at that venue (1m2f) in August for George Scott and he went mighty close over latter C&D on stable debut in November; niggled along at various stages when seventh on his turf debut (10.5f) last month and some guesswork is involved as to whether this test will bring out the best in him. |
22/1 |
|
7th 9 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins have come on the AW at Newcastle (1m/1m2f) and was far from disgraced on his return in the Easter Classic there (1m2f) five weeks ago; makes his turf debut in a competitive race, albeit stall 1 has taken three of the last eight runnings. |

9st 11lb |
1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|
4 (8) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |

Third in first-time visor (retained since) at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) last month and runner-up at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) since; solid claims. |
7/1 |
|
5 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins at 1m and the latest was in May of last year; however, competitive in 1m/1m2f handicaps for current yard and unlucky not to be closer than 2l at Chester last time. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (11) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His last win was 16 months ago but that was off 3lb higher at Newmarket (1m, good); held in fourth of ten on stable debut at Chelmsford (7-2) last month but he had to use up some energy to get a prominent position from a wide draw; looks worth another try at this trip and he's not ruled out on second run for James Owen; visor added. |

19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Came up short in big field at York nine days ago; can't be totally dismissed on September form, namely a win at Redcar and placed effort over C&D; however, strike-rate for current yard is modest compared to how his career started. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Landed the third turf win of his career when seeing off ten rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; raised 4lb but his AW success last September was attained off 1lb higher. |
9/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual turf winner who last scored when bagging a 1m2f AW handicap just under a year ago; now 5lb lower but that's still the same mark he was beaten just over 4l at Beverley 10 days ago; likely needs to find a bit extra. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has slid down the weights this year; it's a good while since he ran in a sprint and there have been no signs of a revival in three runs for his new yard; some way down the pecking order. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well handicapped on his Chelmsford win (7f, AW) in January but he's 0-11 since and has been laboured in both runs for current yard; has some questions to answer and he needs to get back on track. |
14/1 |
|
10th 2 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Signed off for previous yard in solid enough form but beat only one home at Brighton on yard debut; does have form here if he could get back on track. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Redcar in July (1m2f, good); hasn't built on that win in three runs since and hopes appear to rest on new headgear piquing his interest. |
10/1 |
|
8 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-2 on the AW but hasn't performed badly; it was over this trip when successful at Redcar in July (first-time cheekpieces; 3lb lower) and his subsequent fifths were fairly close ones; each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap (good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; held in fifth of 12 at Windsor last time but he was only beaten around 2l and that was a a creditable effort in a Racing League event; should go well again and he's in the mix. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |

2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

|
1st 6 (2) |
1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three of her four wins have been at Newcastle and she bounced back with a clear second behind a resurgent rival over C&D last month; this is a deeper race but she travelled smoothly for a long way last time and is an interesting contender off unchanged mark. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time course winner who found it too much at Galway last time; previously in good form and remains on a workable mark, so is one to consider back on Tapeta. |
