17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has better strike-rate on AW but doubled his turf tally at Chepstow (7f, good) in June and won't be far away if in similar form after three-month break. |
10/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form on AW this year and he carried on the good work back on turf when finishing second of nine at Nottingham 12 days ago (6f, good); the return to 7f looks a positive and he looks a strong contender. |

2nd 1 (11) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW over 7f in February and has gone close on his last two starts, including over this trip 28 days ago; has form on turf and this prominent-racer has claims. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Returned from break with hard-fought C&D win in January and has held his form pretty well since, albeit his latest run was a shade disappointing; current mark is workable; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D victory (third one) and has continued in good form, fading late on when third of 11 in 1m classified event here last time; ought to be thereabouts again. |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well here this year and he landed a classified in January; subsequently placed in two course handicaps (also 7f); didn't beat a rival in previous three starts at this sort of trip but still commands respect in current mood back in a classified. |

Finished last of 12 in classified event over C&D six days ago and is now 0-15; cheekpieces are reached for now. |
20/1 |

12th 2 (5) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fair third of nine in a 0-55 handicap at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on his penultimate start, but didn't back that up in a similar race to this there 13 days later and now 0-14; his stamina isn't assured either. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins divided between turf/AW; has looked cold in two runs after a break and he's unraced here; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |
|
10th 7 (11) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both AW wins (his latest) were on Kempton Polytrack in November 2024; effective over C&D, edging down the weights and often not far away but others are preferred for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both AW wins have been on the AW at Kempton in November 2024 (7f/1m); creditable third of 13 at Lingfield (7.5f, good) in May and now switches back to the AW having been off since; place chance. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Wolverhampton last month when returning from 137 days off (typically started slowly); tongue-tie returns and is a dual winner on turf (5f; one on good to firm) but hard to support. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (5) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two of his first four starts but his losing run is up to 15 and he was short of his best in three runs early in the year; sold for 5,000gns in February and new yard quick to get him back sprinting; worth a market check off his reduced mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 5f turf winner; would have each-way claims if able to reproduce his Newcastle effort from three starts ago but has taken a couple of backward steps since. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Not seen to best effect on good to soft ground 12 days ago but will be better suited by the forecast good ground here and was a C&D winner off this mark in May; can be dangerous if new cheekpieces have positive effect. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Just 1lb higher than when winning at Bath (1m, firm) in June, but all her best form has come on good or faster ground; others preferred. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed over both 6f and 7f, the most recent of those coming at Chelmsford (Polytrack) last November; has taken a couple of backward steps since; drops slightly in grade and is not written off. |
14/1 |

7th 6 (5) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; went close over C&D in November but failed to build on it at Lingfield one month later (cheekpieces first time); could still have a bigger effort in him. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; got back on the scoresheet at Leicester (7f) in May but she's been well held over this trip in both subsequent runs; has bit to prove after 103 days off and she's still 3lb higher than for both her wins. |
7/1 |
|
8th 11 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
She has won a 7f handicap (0-55) here in each of the last two seasons; well held in a Class 5 handicap at Newmarket last time though and likely vulnerable once more. |
14/1 |
|
10th 17 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Both wins were achieved in the same 0-55 handicap at Leicester 12 months apart, justifying favouritism on fast ground 25 days ago; a 4lb rise and deeper opposition can find her out today. |
