10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Started this year with a 5f win at Newcastle (Tapeta) but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 7l at Newcastle (1m) last month; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival back in trip; tongue-tie reapplied. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Kickstarted 2026 with 5f win here but his form has nosedived since; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

Kickstarted 2026 with 5f success at Newcastle in January but he's failed to reproduce it, again slowly away when fifth of seven at Hamilton (5f) six days ago; others are preferred. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy-ground turf win last October and he comes here on the back of second-place finishes at Newcastle (5f) and here (6f); sneaking back up the weights but should give it another good go. |
4/1 |

2nd 10 (5) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both of his wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Bath (5.7f, heavy) in October; went from the front when beaten a neck at Newcastle (5f, AW) 20 days ago and won't have an issue with the return to this trip. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW scorer; 0-13 on turf but nearly prevailed in small field at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in most recent Class 5 attempt; remains well handicapped on peak form. |
14/1 |

6th 9 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Not proving the easiest to catch right since going in at Newcastle (5f) in February but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 5f Newmarket handicap a week ago; in the mix if on his A-game again. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win on turf, but is now 2lb lower than when scoring on Tapeta at Newcastle (5f) in February and he did well under the circumstances when fourth of 11 at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago, faring best of those from off the pace (started slowly); a rare Newmarket runner for his Scottish stable. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Should be making a big impact off this mark and although he has been a shade underwhelming on turf this summer he has too much ability to leave out of calculations at this level. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

12-time winner, three of them here (5f/6f); not beaten far on last two starts and is on a fair mark so could go well. |

Recorded an account-opening success in the spring but has finished last in most outings since; far from solid. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win from 21 starts came in a 5f handicap here in April off the same mark as today's but he's mostly struggled since; has failed to beat a rival on his last two outings and the headgear is now removed. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Hard to predict and was down the field at Pontefract last time but he finished runner-up over C&D (good) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can bounce back again and his last win was off a similar mark at Hamilton in June. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (12) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Of interest on his best form for the Faheys and he has shaped with promise in 5f handicaps for his new stable on his last two starts; one to consider off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored off just 1lb lower at Hamilton (6f, good) in June on his penultimate start for the Faheys and he stepped forward on his second start for this yard when beaten 3l at Ayr (5f, good to soft) on Thursday; may do better again. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (8) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Last three wins have come over C&D and latest was off 3lb lower last month; never got involved here last time but that was against a pace bias and he should get a good tow into this race; not ruled out. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins at Catterick (5f, good to firm/good) this summer and he's run some good races since (including on sot ground), most recently runner-up at Redcar (5f, good); has won over C&D and he's in with a chance. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and has mostly remained in form; took a bump at the start when only mid-field at Ripon last week; may well bounce back with a tongue-strap refitted. |
16/1 |
|
9th 11 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 5f Catterick handicaps in the summer and comes here on the back of a solid third of nine over C&D last month; also took this prize in 2024 so he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |

13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Four wins divided between turf and the AW; some sign of returning to form from off the pace at Newcastle 20 days ago (5f); possible. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; his last win was 12 months ago but that was off 4lb higher and he returned from a three-month break with a promising effort at Musselburgh (5f) last month; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out. |
13/2 |

5th 2 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed signs of running into form in May; proved a disappointing favourite in June when last seen but, judged on historical data, looks interesting off current mark dropped to 0-55 level. |
