13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Two runs on softer than good were his only blips; won five 7f handicaps this year, with authority at Newbury last time, which earns plenty of respect despite today's higher mark, higher grade and more competitive race. |

1st 4 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins have been at 7f; admirably consistent and the winner got first run on him last time at Newmarket (good to firm); has finished first and second under the returning David Egan; every chance once more. |
11/4 |

2nd 5 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Likeable 7f specialist (all four wins at this trip); just edged out by Sierra Sands over C&D three weeks ago; holding his form really well and should be in the thick of things again. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-8 but has made the frame in all five handicaps, most recently when second at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last month; still unexposed at around 1m and will probably be on the premises again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden; promise in 7f handicaps this summer but he does need a jolt of improvement for today's step up in distance |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to score but he went fairly close at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut in April; hasn't repeated that effort in two subsequent runs, including over that C&D last time, but it's still relatively early days and he's back down in grade. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has tried all trips from 5f to 1m2f, the win coming at 1m; wasn't stopping last time at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) when not far behind the winner so this far is worth a go. |
10/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent last year sprinting and is having a first try over this far (won over 8.3f here in the spring off 3lb lower); didn't get going until too late in a small field last time (1m) but stamina would be the concern. |

Dropping down the weights but with some justification; met a bit of trouble on last month's first run since being gelded but would need to see market support to consider. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden; in rear throughout in newly applied headgear combination (discarded) over 6f here five weeks ago; eased another 3lb in the handicap since, so isn't written off yet; prudent to consult the market. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Maiden who's on a competitive mark and won't mind being back on the AW; good chance he'll be dropped in again from the outside stall, in which case much will hinge on how the race plays out; each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 10 (11) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Had seven races; probably a matter of time before he wins something and he was staying on nicely over 7f last time; considered. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Twice a runner-up from his six starts, most recently at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) ten weeks ago; he was beaten over 4l on that occasion though and a personal best is required. |

1lb higher than for his 6f win at Windsor in May; tackles this trip for the first time and has cheekpieces fitted; others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
8th 5 (11) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained a first win at Windsor (6f) in May and largely in good nick subsequently, coming in fourth of 11 in 7f AW Lingfield handicap 19 days ago; needs considering. |
10/1 |

4th 12 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Close fourth over C&D in March and off the mark at Windsor (6f, good) in May; off 57 days before failing to figure at Wolverhampton (16-1) five weeks ago, but he's not ruled out. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nothing in handicaps and was going nowhere in a 1m classified race at Yarmouth last time until finishing that race off well; whether he'll repeat that effort is debatable, especially if the ground softens up. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to make the frame in seven starts and only tenth of 13 in 1m2f Bath handicap in June when last seen; plenty more is needed after a break. |
9/2 |

10th 7 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Unplaced in three 6f novice runs for Eve Johnson Houghton last year and the same in three 7f handicaps this term for new yard; his two highest ratings came on AW but the latest did offer some hope for this 3f longer trip. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-race maiden but wasn't beaten far when third over C&D in March; may have had an off-day when beaten 18l at Leicester (7f, good to firm) the following month; sports first-time blinkers and impossible to write off. |
8/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Seven-race maiden but she returned after a break with a close third in a Lingfield handicap (7f, AW) last month; should benefit from that run and she's respected off only 1lb higher back on turf. |

8st 13lb |
3yo who won over C&D (soft) in June and good ground may not have suited when down the field over C&D last month; conditions are very much in his favour this afternoon and he's high on the list. |
6/1 |

10th 7 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nearly made a successful switch to handicaps at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last September, just held by one who won three of his next five starts; had a quiet start to 2026 but did better when prominently ridden and having a little in hand against Milford Grange over C&D (soft) in June; up 3lb; capable of better. |

No wins in ten starts and no real signs of putting that right; pulled hard last time when tried in blinkers at Southwell (6f) and he needs a transformation at this new trip. |

11th 10 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
