14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time winner (AW/turf) who is largely consistent; good second over C&D in most recent attempt in this sphere; never gets much respite from the assessor but holds solid claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Effective on good to firm and good to soft; dual Tapeta winner who scored at Yarmouth (7f) in April and was a creditable second behind a rival who got first run at Kempton last month; usually held-up and has claims if he gets a good tow into the race. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won races for two previous yards; started for this stable with a good third at Ayr (1m1f) in May but he's struggled since, including dropped to a claimer last time; has a bit to find on these terms even if bouncing back to the Ayr form. |
13/2 |

6th 1 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won races for two previous yards and was a close third on debut for current one (1m1f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from there, including here two runs back when beating one home over 6f; drops into a claimer but these terms aren't easy. |
8/1 |

7th 1 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Quite experienced now so should have known better than to race so freely before dropping out at Newmarket two weeks ago; if giving himself a chance, this triple winner is not handicapped out of it. |
10/1 |
|
14th 3 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
In decent form for Jack Jones in the spring and, after a close second on his stable debut in June, he won at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in July and Kempton (1m, AW) last time; drawn on the wing and he's up 3lb but the hat-trick must be a possibility. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Resurgent 4yo who has form figures of 23221 since April and beat a clear second when scoring at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month on his second run for James Owen; a 4lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player back on AW. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
It was a fourth AW success when scoring at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday, but he knows how to get it done on turf too and his previous second of six over C&D (good to firm) was a creditable effort; has won off this mark and Billy Loughnane takes over; player. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Trainer has won with his last three runners and has a good course record with older horses (10-35); this 5yo is 3-3 round here, is fairly treated, in form and won't be hurt by going back into a bigger field as a hold-up runner; leading player. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Beat Cherry Cobbler by a neck on the July course (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in June but his last two starts don't compare, including in this headgear combination on soft ground a fortnight ago; will need to get back on track. |
33/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Form has dipped since winning in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (good) but now has another change of headgear and he's back on that last winning mark; won a novice on soft. |
25/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces when winning over C&D (good) last month but he was well held back here (fifth of seven) 13 days ago; finished behind some of today's rivals in that race and he needs to step up again after that. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who ended a long losing run at Doncaster (7f) in August; not best drawn when 12th of 18 in 7f Ascot handicap 17 days ago; this four-time C&D winner is no forlorn hope. |
12/1 |
|
12th 8 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
This veteran gained his first turf win for four years in 7f Doncaster handicap (good to firm) seven weeks ago; only 3lb higher but doesn't obviously have the profile of one likely to follow up. |
14/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Winless since 2024 but this veteran arrives in decent nick, runner-up at Newbury (7f) in June before a creditable tenth of 17 in 7f Ascot handicap last month; not totally dismissed. |

Back-to-back 1m wins here in June but his form has fallen away and he now goes in a visor; reservations. |

6th 3 (1) |
5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |

8th 3 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Struck form with two wins at Yarmouth (both 1m, good to firm) in June but two lesser efforts have followed (albeit denied clear run last time) and he remains on a tough mark. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three-time winner on the AW over 7f and he ran well despite not really settling when second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; that was just his third go on the grass and he can remain competitive. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently in February; two attempts on turf include a good effort (close third off 1lb higher) in a division of this contest 12 months ago; again has place claims. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time visor when coming from off the pace to score at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; not in same form on latest outing and not one to rely upon heavily but probably still on a good mark. |

20/1 |

6th 10 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when keeping-on second of five over C&D (good to firm) in July but both subsequent runs were underwhelming and he's now 0-14; needs good boost from the new blinkers. |
25/1 |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when keeping-on second of five here (1m good to firm) last month but his subsequent AW run was underwhelming and he's now 0-13; yet to convince stamina-wise over 1m2f; not the percentage call. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been on AW and he shaped with promise when fifth on his reappearance over C&D (13-2) last month; drawn out wide this time but he should get a good pace to aim at and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; dangerous. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Poor on turf in his last three races but he's far better on the AW and has form here; returns from a break on a realistic mark and could go well. |
12/1 |
|
20th 15 (16) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent record on AW features two wins; far less solid on turf form (finishing positions read 790) and can be opposed in a competitive affair kept to this sphere. |
