25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back on song when third at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month and he built on that to win at Ripon (5f, good to firm); he's gone up just 2lb for last time and could be a contender once more. |

Has won six races and didn't shape too badly when third of nine at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; not out of this. |

Back on track with second at Redcar (5f) in April but has finished down the field twice since; bounce back needed. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in a classified stakes and a Yarmouth handicap (both over 5f on good to firm) earlier in the summer; not so good last time (6f); all four wins have been on AW, including over C&D; should go well. |
6/1 |

6th 9 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer; beaten favourite in two 5f handicaps on fast ground this summer but he has still run with credit; stays 6f but still seeking a first win at the trip. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-31 on turf but scored off 3lb higher on AW in December and returned from ten-week break with pretty good third in 0-70 grade at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last month; major player in this grade. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he shaped better than his placing suggests in 5f handicaps at Redcar and Lingfield on his first two runs this term; went without headgear when only sixth of eight in 5f Newcastle handicap last time but no surprise to see him play a prominent role here in refitted blinkers. |
7/2 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was a 5f handicap at Chelmsford in March 2025 when visored for the first time; would have a chance on his C&D second off 8lb higher last November, but below-par recently; no visor this time. |
6/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Her last win came at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 11 months ago but after a promising reappearance in April it's largely been a struggle; seventh of ten at Hamilton off 1lb higher last Friday will need improving on. |
20/1 |

7th 13 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner in September 2024 (good to soft); two wins in 2025, but hasn't shown her best form so far this term; on a good mark as a result, so not out of it. |
25/1 |

5th 10 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Ran okay on her seasonal return in April but she hasn't built on it in four runs since; had 17 runs at 6f+ and she has been unplaced in all of them. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
7-40 AW, including three C&D wins, the latest (from 2lb lower) in April; third to stablemate Sixcor at Ayr (5f) on penultimate start, but below that level of form over 6f subsequently; isn't discounted with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb. |
15/2 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in April and largely in good form subsequently, third of eight in 5f handicap here two week ago; can make his presence felt eased 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Recorded his seventh AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) in April; two fair efforts at Ayr (5f/6f) since but he was quiet at Hamilton last time and is now 0-23 on turf; others preferred. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high. |
15/2 |

6th 8 (1) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Bounced back to form at Leicester (5f, good to firm) but beat only two rivals and has gone back up 5lb for that win; returns to a deeper field, albeit has landed the plum draw. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (10) |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time C&D winner, the latest of those coming in first-time blinkers off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been running well since, including when runner-up here 15 days ago, and there's no reason to think she won't go well again. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow C&D winner in first-time blinkers (from 7lb lower) in January; has held her form well since, a close fourth (Shatin Venture second, La Rochette fifth) to Digital latest; likely to give another solid account with Paul Mulrennan aboard. |
13/2 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Got the better of Digital over C&D last month (blinkered first time) and ran another solid race when a close second at Southwell one week later; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

Five wins this year, three of them over C&D; took her form to a new level when winning at Hamilton 19 days ago but a 6lb rise and stronger opposition could find her out today. |

Made it 3-10 on the AW when successful at Newcastle last month; up 5lb and 1-13 on turf, but a stiff 5f seems to suit her well; looks the pick of the stable's trio. |

9st 5lb |
Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |

Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |
