23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All six wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming at Southwell (1m, AW) in February; he was in fair form when last seen four months ago but has failed to beat a rival home in each of his three starts on turf. |
9/1 |

5th 8 (1) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Another who is enjoying a fine winter, winning for the fifth time when seeing off ten rivals at Southwell last month; steadily-run race no good to him at Newcastle on Saturday and he's capable of bouncing back quickly. |
9/2 |

9th 3 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive gelding who has won four of his last eight starts and was a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's a big player again on this drop back in trip. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 1m on turf/Polytrack in June last year, but those are his only victories in 34 starts; 9lb lower than for the latest, but others still look more compelling; eyeshield removed. |

All three wins have been over 1m; went close here over 8.5f in February and kept on into fourth (behind Cooramook) after missing the break over C&D last time; will need things to drop right given his hold-up style. |

Gained a third win of 2026 over C&D in May; back to his best with second of nine in 1m2f handicap at Newcastle 13 days ago; can go well in this lower grade. |

Three wins over 1m2f this year, including at this track; runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in June but below his best in two starts since; drops in grade but others look stronger. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and kept on well for second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good; refitted tongue-tie) 11 days ago; may still have a bigger run in him; good chance. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won six times on the Flat for James Owen between 1m-1m2f; 0-4 over hurdles although he was in the process of running a good race until making a costly error two out on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) in June; makes stable debut and should run well. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent last November; on a realistic mark and recent Lingfield run wasn't too shoddy on the back of an absence. |
14/1 |

4th 8 (2) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last November off a 3lb higher mark; shaped as if in form when seventh of 12 there in a 0-80 in March but he's been absent since; considered. |

Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
7f win at Wolverhampton in June; absent 66 days until reappearing with a fourth to Beattie Is Back (dead-heated with stablemate Tasever) over C&D 23 days ago; needs to up his game a notch. |
16/1 |

4th 11 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Came from the rear to gain his fourth success (all on the AW) when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) two months ago; a 5lb rise still leaves him well treated on his previous form so can't be discounted in his bid to follow up. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Turf maiden winner who is 0-12 in handicaps and has inconsistent form this year but is attractively treated off her lower mark back on AW. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped with encouragement here (6f) on her sole start as a juvenile in 2023; missed the following year and consistency has been an issue since, as evidenced by a good effort at Ffos Las (1m, also good to soft) being flanked by lesser ones; interesting that both those second-place finishes came on her only starts away from a sound surface, though. |
25/1 |

7th 4 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Inconsistent mare who's been withdrawn on account of good to firm ground since disappointing on fast going early last month; holds claims on her previous Ffos Las second to a subsequent winner but only has a maiden win to her name. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Last five wins have come on the AW including when completing a hat-trick in the spring; has winning form on good to firm ground, but his last two efforts since returning to turf need improving upon. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was recording wins eight, nine and ten when rattling off an AW hat-trick this spring (1m-8.6f); the wheels came off when well-beaten over C&D 33 days ago, however, and this mark looks beyond him. |
20/1 |

10th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won in Ireland over two years ago; otherwise he's 0-23 and has been well down the field in last three races, all at 1m. |
33/1 |

10th 11 (13) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
His sole win from 24 starts was in Ireland (1m1f, good) in August 2024; has run some good races this season, including when second at Chepstow (1m, good) in June, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 15l at Ffos Las last time; others are more convincing. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish (1m1f winner in 2024); running for this yard since December and the odd piece of that form gives him a shout, including penultimate start but that was on soft ground; below form sole start on firmer than good. |

2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner with first four on turf and latest four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) in December but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs and needs to bounce back near his best. |
14/1 |

8th 10 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Eight-time winner with first four on turf and last four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) last month but he flopped when favourite over C&D ten days ago; a switch to more prominent tactics may have backfired in that race but he needs to bounce back after that disappointing effort. |
9/1 |
|
2 (8) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form in refitted visor on Tapata when last seen in spring, winning three in a row (1m-8.6f); has fitness and stamina to prove today but the return to turf on the slow side of good won't be a problem. |
