4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Useful 2yo and ran to a fair level on his 3yo return at Newcastle in April; absent for five months prior to his tenth of 16 at Doncaster three weeks ago; down in class for his AW debut and not fully exposed. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Consistent form in six races last season (all bar one at 7f), proving himself worthy of this sort of mark; absent since finishing third to Back In Black at Newbury in April but has the form to feature if on his game. |

Fairly useful colt whose 2yo form featured good performances over 7f at three major festivals; headgear worn the last twice is now removed; looks a solid contender, having proved consistent. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Patchy form for David O'Meara last term but won in June (good to firm; first-time hood) and ran a corker when third of 21 in valuable Ascot handicap (good) in July; back in form when slightly unlucky second at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in October and sold for 40,000gns later that month; hood (absent when disappointing on final start) missing again; tongue tied for stable debut and warrants a market check. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |

Campaigned mainly in hood for current yard, winning on turf in June and close second on AW most recently; may remain competitive, provided the removal of the headgear doesn't have negative effect. |

2nd 1 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Quirky 4yo; won well at Leicester in June (7f, good to firm; hooded first time) and his third at Ascot in July was an excellent effort; a few quiet efforts from August onwards but he would likely have gone close here (1m) last week had he seen any daylight; the forecast strong headwind could favour something coming from off the pace and no doubt he has the ability to win off this mark; high on the list. |

Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely. |

8st 10lb |
7f novice winner for previous yard; resurgent over 6f at Windsor (third start for new yard) most recently, while shaping as if this step back up in trip will suit; could go well off a reduced mark. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Not solid on his handicap form; failed to beat a rival in big-field event at Newmarket (second run for new yard) most recently; drop back in grade may help but there are signs that he's regressing. |
20/1 |

18th 16 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
First-time blinkers when making all for easy win in Epsom novice (7f, soft) in September 2024; encouraging return from a year's absence the following October but he left Ralph Beckett after a moderate effort next time; weak in the market for his stable debut when it all went wrong at the start 19 days ago. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent and has failed to shine on last two starts but may have been unsuited by soft ground then Tapeta; runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August then fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) where he was denied a clear run, and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big effort. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Looked unfortunate when beaten less than a length into second of seven at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) since; acts on ground ranging from good to firm to good to soft; still 2lb below last winning mark; a player. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best. |

Improved with each run, winning a 7f maiden at Redcar on his second start and then defying a penalty over C&D last month; he'll need more to defy this mark now pitched into a competitive handicap though. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Dam a winning sprinter from a good family and he has shown useful ability in his two starts (both 7f), finishing third at Redcar on debut (good) and then winning at Redcar last month (good to firm); can do better but defying a penalty won't be easy on his AW debut. |

Solid start to his career when third of nine in a Doncaster novice last month (7f, good; Big Alex Walmsley 5l behind in fifth); open to improvement and he's a place contender. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Useful on testing ground on the Flat early in career and this 4yo has tapped back into that promise over hurdles this spring, winning a maiden at Hereford (2m, good) in April on his second stable start and following up in a C&D novice (good); trainer won this with Clearance, after whom this race is named, in 2022 and 2024; intriguing candidate back in a handicap. |

Front-runner who has won three times on the AW, the latest over C&D in July; scored at Thirsk (7f, good) last month, but needs to put a lacklustre effort at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month behind him, while an easy lead seems unlikely. |
