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. |

9st 5lb |
Best effort in six outings for Hughie Morrison was her win in a handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) in August, the first of two starts in cheekpieces; first-time hood when pipped in 15-runner race at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago, which was a bright start under Ashley Lewis for new yard; up 3lb but a player if she's as effective on today's ground. |
2/1 |

2nd 9 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort in her six outings for Hughie Morrison last season when winning 1m2f Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) in cheekpieces; a first-time hood is the choice of headgear setting out for a new yard after 197 days off; less exposed than most of these and would need considering if the betting vibes are positive. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Unable to pose a threat on his last six starts but the last time he tackled a trip as short as 1m2f he was third at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in May and is now fully 9lb lower; he's not discounted. |
11/1 |

8th 5 (7) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seems to act on most ground; recorded the latest of his six wins when scoring at Leicester (1m4f, good; stays further) in April but he's been below par over the summer and beat a total of one rival across his last three starts; now handicapped accordingly but revival still required. |
20/1 |

Not at his best lately (well-held last of three latest) but is 2lb lower than when scoring over this trip on good in the spring so a revival wouldn't surprise with Dylan Cunha among the winners. |

1st 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Was winning for the first time since his debut when just prevailing over 1m4f here (good) last month, but may not have been suited by the conditions when third of six at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 12 days ago; each-way claims. |

Her sole win (from 25 attempts) came 18 starts ago in May 2025; she didn't run badly off her reduced mark at Stratford recently but needs something extra if she's to snap her losing sequence today. |

Her sole win from 24 starts was in a maiden hurdle last May; runner-up in a Sedgefield handicap (2m1f, good) this spring but she's not gone on from that was well held back on the Flat last time; tongue-tie is now tried and she needs to raise her game back in this sphere. |

Won twice on turf in the spring and has finished runner-up at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) and Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in two of his last three runs; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can continue the good work. |

Landed his fourth win at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June off 2lb lower; mainly creditable efforts since; soft ground may have been against him when below his best at Ayr last month, and he might have found the Redcar race ten days ago a tad too competitive; drops back in grade here. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; back to form when second at Carlisle (1m1f) where he came from the clouds off a fast pace (Sanafi Zabeel was third having been eased); that perhaps flattered him but considered nonetheless; has won on good to soft. |

9st 6lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in first-time blinkers; 0-11 on the Flat, which sees him continue down the weights but he's been soundly beaten in Polytrack handicaps (unraced on Tapeta) and Flat record over the last year has been uninspiring; visored first time (has tried cheekpieces as well as the blinkers). |

Eight-race maiden who was a well-beaten 33-1 shot at Southwell (2m; first-time tongue-tie) in January; this is more realistic than the Listed hurdle she tackled here last time but she's still hard to make a strong case for; has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-tie now. |
