2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won first two races this year, one on Southwell Tapeta; two good thirds in a mixed record since, including over 1m4f on Kempton's Polytrack on penultimate outing; considered in this small field. |

Won first two races this year; mixed form since but latest third of 11 over 1m4f on Kempton's Polytrack was creditable; probably acts on good to soft. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Sandown (1m6f, good) in July on final outing for the Gosdens; not at the same level when sixth on his two starts for this yard (2m, good to firm/soft) but the drop back in trip and return to better ground could help, and he's one of two for a stable with an excellent record in the race; chance. |

6th 7 (9) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
2-11 for the Gosdens, whom he left after winning at Sandown (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns and did well at the Shergar Cup (2m, good to firm) given he pulled hard early; effective on good to soft (unraced on slower). |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over C&D last autumn, including his stable debut in November off 2lb lower; his latest C&D second was a remote one and perhaps vulnerable for win purposes again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran poorly last time, taking turf record to 0-6; broadly consistent on AW otherwise for current yard and he is 2-2 over C&D, the wins gained last autumn; 3-8 overall in this sphere; likely to be played late by Jamie Spencer (up for first time) and has possibilities back here. |
9/2 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Very solid sequence except in the Amateurs' Derby at Epsom on penultimate start; made all with a dominant display over C&D (heavy) three weeks ago under Toby Moore; up 6lb but he's shown he goes well in this sort of slog. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Amateurs' Derby at Epsom last time saw him well beaten at 28-1 on good to soft (unraced on worse); that followed a very solid sequence, the pick of which, however, was on AW. |
12/1 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two 1m4f wins at Lingfield (AW) this year; he has run creditably in defeat off this mark on his last four starts but he will need extra to overcome it; untried on slower than good to soft. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 2112 since wearing a visor and dropped back from middle distances (maiden previously); ran creditably at Sandown (7f) most recently, despite pulling hard; may still have further progress in him, especially if settling better; one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (10) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Mostly campaigned over middle distances but the recent drop to 7f has been the making of him; surged clear under Oisin Murphy to win over C&D (good to firm; unraced on softer than good) three weeks ago and a 9lb rise looks fully justified; thriving and needs taking seriously once more. |
15/8 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Made it 11th time lucky when seeing off three rivals at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but the majority of those starts have been over 1m2f+ so he is unexposed over this sort of trip; Oisin Murphy also has a very good record for the stable. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
With Peter Chapple-Hyam when making all in a 1m2f fillies' maiden at Chelmsford in August 2025; mostly disappointing (0-4) for this trainer, but returns to AW from an easing mark, fresh off an 11-week break; isn't totally dismissed. |
28/1 |
|
7th 5 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
AW maiden winner for Peter Chapple-Hyam last term but it was an inauspicious start for this yard when suffering two heavy defeats in the spring; possibly flattered when fourth of six at Chester (10.5f, soft) four weeks ago but she's not handicapped out of this if that signals a revival in fortunes; first try at this trip (sister to a Grade 3 1m4f winner). |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Signed off for Peter Chapple-Hyam with a breakthrough win at Chelsmsford (1m2f) in August; off eight months and has failed to beat a rival in handicaps at Southwell (1m3f) and Ascot (1m2f) this spring though. |
