8th 11 (4) |
15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won and finished a close third in his first two starts for the yard over 7f here in March and added another success at York (1m, good to firm) in July; well held over C&D last time, but is just 1lb higher than for his last two wins so he can't be dismissed. |
10/1 |
|
6th 11 (10) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Course winner over 7f in March on his stable debut and also won at York (1m, good to firm) in June, those wins coming off a mark 3lb lower than today's; never threatened on his last two starts, including over 1m2f at Doncaster 11 days ago, but has each-way claims back on the AW. |
12/1 |
|
9th 13 (19) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner (7f/1m), most recently at York (good to firm) in July; never featured from off the pace there five days ago and now attempts this trip for the first time; could go well if seeing it out. |

8st 13lb |
Sole win in 12 starts when beating two rivals at Bath (1m, firm) in May, but hasn't matched that form since; blinkers are given a go this time. |

2nd 6 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Close third in tactical race when upped to this trip at Chepstow (good to firm) last month and has now made the frame in her last four handicaps; could still have untapped potential over 1m4f; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has run some solid races in handicaps at Bath this year, latest when runner-up (1m2f, good) last month; there is a good chance that this step up in trip will eke out more improvement in the search of her first win. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Third in 1m/1m2f handicaps on firm ground here on last two starts; different ground today but she has far more solid claims than most of these. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best efforts over middle distances; always behind over C&D (AW debut; second run for new stable) last time; best watched. |
25/1 |
|
13th 6 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Left Brian Meehan for 14,000gns; now a nine-race maiden after finishing last of five on yard debut at Leicester (1m). |
14/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort for Brian Meehan came over 1m2f (managed second) and was last seen stretching out to 1m4f; changed hands for 14,000gns this month; this won't take much winning and a positive market move would look significant; goes without headgear. |

2nd 5 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Unable to live up to his market billing when unplaced this summer in his first two handicaps (1m, good/good to firm) and improvement is needed; however, he has a useful pedigree and represents an in-form yard, and things may click at some point. |
9/2 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Marked improvement is needed but he's had just four races; fifth of ten on seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) four weeks ago failed to match his market position but he staged something of a rally, after hanging left over 2f out, and might build on that. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Some sign of ability last season over 7f and could be a different proposition now handicapping after being gelded; market useful. |

1st 4 (4) |
14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has been most progressive on turf this year with three wins; needs to translate that form on AW debut and looks a danger to all if he does. |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (8) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Just lost out on handicap debut here in May and two wide-margin wins followed, over C&D and at Carlisle (good to firm and good); has taken a steep rise in the weights but subsequent defeats aren't conclusive evidence that he's reached his peak; likely to figure. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when trouncing his rivals at Windsor and he followed up with a 5l success at Carlisle (1m, good) last month; shot up the weights after those wins but he ran another good race when a close fourth over C&D last month; needs to kick on again to defy this mark but he's still lightly raced and is bred to be useful. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Left Harry Charlton for 18,000gns; a 4l win on yard debut at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) triggered this 10lb higher mark off which he struggled back there a month ago; might be high in the weights now. |
6/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Left Harry Charlton for 18,000gns; made a striking winning stable debut over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago; hit with a 10lb rise but that form has been boosted twice since; massively respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Second of nine at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, after which he was sold out of Harry Charlton's stable for 18,000gns; should have more to offer over this trip; interesting. |

5th 10 (1) |
1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four-race maiden who is heading in the right direction, second in Sandown handicap (1m2f, good) most recently; first success is plausible, provided another step forward materialises. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 8 (10) |
16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Stepped up on his okay stable debut (300-1) in July when 33-1 and third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; the two ahead of him were an 88-rated gelding and a 4,400,000gns filly making her debut; no reason to think we've already seen the best of him ahead of this first go in a handicap. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Probably achieved little when a remote fourth over C&D last month (300-1). |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
3yo who resumed his progress and made it 2-5 when making all in a Sandown handicap (1m, good to firm) last month; 4lb higher on this step up in grade but he had something in hand last time and could continue on an upward curve; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Bettered low-key debut when narrow winner of Chepstow maiden (7f, good to firm) in May but was last of four on recent handicap/AW debut; remains lightly raced and might be happier back on turf but others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hooded all starts; won a Chepstow maiden (7f, good) in May on second outing and similar form when second in a Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) last time; better is needed on this handicap/AW debut but early days. |
6/1 |
