26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Looked very much one to follow after winning his final three runs last term (final leg over C&D on good to soft); that hasn't been the case but he was beaten just a nose at Hamilton (1m, good) off this mark in June and wasn't disgraced in a big-field handicap at last month's York Ebor meeting; blinkers worn then are now replaced by first-time cheekpieces. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Looked very much one to follow after winning his final three runs last term (1m, good to firm/good to soft); that hasn't been the case but he was beaten just a nose at Hamilton (1m, good) two starts ago and perhaps the first-time blinkers will prompt a bigger performance; unproven on soft/heavy. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared with respectable seventh of 21 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and built on that when going down by a nose at Hamilton (extended 1m, good) three weeks ago; while his improvement since being gelded has come at around 1m his fourth over 1m2f at Nottingham last June was as good as anything he'd produced at that time; much respected on AW debut. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five AW wins include a C&D success in January off a 7lb higher mark than today's; could have done with a stronger gallop when fifth of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and was reported to have lost a shoe when down the field at Chepstow three weeks ago (only 1-25 on turf); could bounce back returned to this surface. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
6lb below his last winning mark and does have form on soft ground, but he finished behind four of these over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start and a record of 1-24 on turf does pose a question. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in the winter (9.4f/1m2f); it's possible he's gone off the boil but when beaten 8l in ninth of 13 at Newmarket a fortnight ago he was denied a clear passage before keeping on nicely; not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Won twice on the AW over the winter but he seems to have gone off the boil, well beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday; not so effective yet on turf; others make more appeal. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and over this C&D in January; below best at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest and he's running in a higher grade than he's used to, but he has an each-way shout on the pick of his winter form. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field at Southwell last time but that was a rare AW start; prior to that he was an unlucky runner-up at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) and he won this race on heavy ground in 2024; finished fourth last year; key player. |
10/1 |

7th 6 (3) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run is up to 13 but he went close at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in July and backed that up with a good second at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher back on AW and he should be in the thick of things again. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 since winning off 2lb higher at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year, but has gone close a couple of times in that period as when beaten a head and a neck into third of 14 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month (winner has gone in again twice since); goes very well on soft ground and has won twice here (7f/8.5f); a player. |

Did well on the AW in his younger days (112112) including a win over C&D, but not seen on an artificial surface since April 2023; showed a bit more when fifth of eight at Haydock (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago and is an interesting contender back on Polytrack; stable also runs Tempus. |

5th 13 (16) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Failed to kick on after big-field handicap win at Meydan (1m, good to firm) in March but returned from a break in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and was denied a clear run when finishing an encouraging 11th of 23; he may be able to build on that performance. |

Gained most recent success in AW Vase race on Good Friday; has steadily got back into the swing of turf racing and went very close at Thirsk (7f) last Saturday, running at least as well as he's ever done; the signs are positive. |

Both wins on the AW, a 7f novice and 1m handicap last month (when 4lb lower); never involved from off the pace back there a month ago but he could be ready for this longer distance; return to turf is no concern. |

8th 11 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Better than ever this year after gelding operation and wind surgery, coming from last to first over C&D three weeks ago; he's in deeper here but a 4lb rise hardly looks insurmountable and it feels as if he's just starting to fulfil his potential; leading contender. |
13/2 |

1st 1 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Winning debut on AW at Wolverhampton (7f) last March but was well held in two handicaps later; however, he posted a solid effort when third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on reappearance, having undergone wind/gelding operations, and should come on for that; this return to 1m could suit. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

His losing run is up to 13 and he's not as good as he was, but off a reduced mark he's run well to be third on his last three outings, over C&D (good to firm) last time after a two-month break; could be thereabouts. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

1m AW winner for Charlie Appleby as a 2yo; barely beat a rival in five handicap runs in 2025 (sold after the first of them) but he has tumbled down the weights and has his first run in 0-70 company with new headgear fitted; market confidence should be noted. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
His losing run is up to 16 and this inconsistent 5yo failed to threaten at Ascot three weeks ago, while he's 2lb out of the weights this afternoon; however, he was beaten just a head on the other Newmarket course (6f, good) two starts ago and stays 7f; not ruled out each-way. |

7th 12 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
His ability has never been in doubt and a return of two wins from his 24 starts is disappointing; he has run some good races in defeat since joining Stuart Williams, including dropped to 6f at Newmarket a fortnight ago, and he holds each-way claims again. |
10/1 |

Dual winner; 0-5 for Stuart Williams but had been holding his own in 7f handicaps until a lesser show last time; whether he's quick enough for 6f is the glaring concern (all 23 runs from 7f to 1m2f). |
