14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
One-time very smart but now on the downgrade and often slow to break; modest efforts of late and hardly the percentage play. |

12th 2 (12) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |

5th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in January off the same mark as today's; left the impression he's still in form on soft ground at Salisbury 23 days ago and has place claims back on the AW. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (11) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been on the AW but he does act on turf; beaten 4l when second of five at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) ten days ago but soft ground would be a slight concern. |

2nd 3 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three wins in Britain at 5f (twice on AW); placed at Lingfield over the winter before being bought for 14,000gns in February; dropped out quickly after forcing pace on yard debut in Naas handicap last month on soft; probably best watched for now. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He's run really well on his four starts this season (including on soft going), winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last month; the drop back to 5f isn't an obvious positive but the testing ground could compensate. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
A dual 6f winner in 2024; quite lightly raced since but back in very good form of late and came in a clear second of seven in 6f Epsom handicap eight days ago; merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark. |
5/2 |

2nd 7 (6) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Finished third in his two races this year, the latest in June at Carlisle (6f, soft); on a competitive mark and should make another bold bid. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Belated regained the winning thread, with eyeshield added, at Ffos Las but has failed to back up that form in two starts since; on a revival mission in the retained headgear combination. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
The eyeshield was new (joining blinkers) when winning well at Ffos Las and reportedly unsuited by rain-softened ground when nowhere back there off this 7lb higher mark; could be given another chance; 0-14 on the AW but runner-up three times. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Only 3-31 but won comfortably over C&D (good) earlier this month with a first-time eyeshield joining reapplied blinkers and that was from the same stall as today; back up 7lb but has coped with this mark in the past. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive. |
6/1 |
|
9th 14 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two fine runs at Sandown this season and when disappointing at Haydock last time there was a valid excuse (blindfold off late and stumbled at the start before racing furthest from the stands' rail); now 2lb higher but not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (6) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time turf winner, including on soft, who just failed to reel in a very well-backed favourite at Sandown (5f, good to soft) on Saturday; does tend to go well at that track but he runs off the same mark (2lb well in) and is firmly considered. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; many good efforts since back from a short break in June 2025, four wins including one at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) in September; closely involved on Kempton AW since and entitled to have a say. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back up close to a career-high mark at the age of nine having sprung a surprise on turf off 2lb lower last time; lacks consistency now but merits respect as a five-time C&D winner. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Most of his runs on turf have been on soft ground and he's won three times on that surface; runner-up at Lingfield (6f) in June but below his best in both starts since (soft turf/AW); could return to some form and run well. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

12th 14 (12) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

Conditions are no problem but he's on a long losing streak and has not made an impact in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 1-34 on turf and others are preferred. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Had course form earlier in career but his losing run goes back more than three years and he hasn't been in much form since last autumn, including for new yard; usually wears headgear but not today. |
