1st 9 (18) |
2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Can lead; won two big-field 7f handicaps in Ireland earlier in career and shone on AW for this yard over the winter, winning six times at 6f to 1m; plenty of creditable efforts in defeat on turf since, notably his close second of 23 in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, heavy; acts on good to firm) 13 days ago; bold show likely if in similar form. |

2nd 14 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Can lead; won two big-field 7f handicaps in Ireland earlier in career and has shone on AW for this yard over the winter, winning six times at 6f to 1m; has looked to have his share of weight since back on turf but this is his first 6f run since an AW win last December and the strong pace will suit. |

6th 8 (3) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |

Hasn't won on turf for over two years but landed a four-timer on the AW in the spring; has been running consistently on turf since, admittedly starting to look exposed but he should run his race. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on AW (6f) in February; on a competitive mark on that evidence but he is yet to win on turf and he was well beaten, albeit in a higher grade and on heavy ground, on last month's return to action; others appeal more for win purposes. |
20/1 |

11th 9 (6) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

All his three successes have come on the AW; off since a below-par fifth at Musselburgh (7f) in April and others appeal more. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D win in March came off a 4lb higher mark and he offered more back on the AW (Polytrack) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) a fortnight ago; one to consider now returned to Tapeta. |
7/1 |
|
5 (5) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Doubled his tally on Southwell AW (7f) in March but he's not matched that form since and was always in rear at Thirsk three weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last win but he needs to revive back on Polytrack; cheekpieces added. |
14/1 |

11th 10 (1) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Doubled his tally on Southwell AW (7f) in March; not matched that form subsequently though and never threatened when ninth of 15 to The Childe Of Hale at Redcar (7f) five days ago; needs to take a step forward. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not particularly solid on his AW form (at up to 9.5f) for current stable; gained sole win on turf (6f; off 3lb higher) but has something to prove over this new trip. |
11/2 |

7th 7 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

6f win for George Scott on turf last summer; edging down the weights for current stable while suggesting he retains a fair level of ability; Rossa Ryan replaces an apprentice this time; not discounted. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Belated regained the winning thread, with eyeshield added, at Ffos Las but has failed to back up that form in two starts since; on a revival mission in the retained headgear combination. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
The eyeshield was new (joining blinkers) when winning well at Ffos Las and reportedly unsuited by rain-softened ground when nowhere back there off this 7lb higher mark; could be given another chance; 0-14 on the AW but runner-up three times. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Only 3-31 but won comfortably over C&D (good) earlier this month with a first-time eyeshield joining reapplied blinkers and that was from the same stall as today; back up 7lb but has coped with this mark in the past. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins for the Barrons include three at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta); 16lb below last winning mark, but five starts since returning for this yard in February leave him with plenty to prove, despite the drop in grade. |

10th 13 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Well short of his best since joining this yard, only beating a handful of runners home in his four runs in 2026; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |

9th 12 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

3rd 9 (2) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time turf winner who was also winning his sixth AW event when scoring at Southwell (7f) in February; 2lb lower when coming back to form with neck defeat over that C&D in April but not seen since; nothing wrong with his mark if this isn't merely a springboard to another AW campaign. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Not quite at best on last two turf starts but now only 2lb higher than when leading close home at Kempton (1m) in May, and this longer trip won't be a problem; a possible. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a promising return when third of 11 in a novice at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in March last year, but has come nowhere near that form since; drops in grade, but still needs a resurgence. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was beaten at least 17l in all four 7f/1m races this year; cheekpieces (worn for last two starts) are discarded for this first attempt at 5f; has too much to prove. |
25/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 and he has beaten just three rivals home in his four handicap starts; tumbling down the weights but carries risk. |
