15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Triple course winner over 1m-1m2f, including on firm; placed elsewhere over 1m4f; 1lb higher than when winning a 0-60 here last month; claims if repeating that effort but has a bit to prove after his last three starts. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has won three times at Bath (1m/1m2f) since the start of last month, but he didn't get home when fourth of nine over C&D (good to firm) nine days ago; may not face too much competition up front so could still be dangerous. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; modest overall strike-rate but not in recent weeks having won three of his last five races, all victories at Bath (1m-1m2f); still on a fair mark and good to soft ground was a feasible excuse at Chepstow last Monday. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two C&D wins, both on good to firm; narrow winner of a 7f amateur jockeys' race at Salisbury in July and although lesser efforts over 1m have followed, he has possibilities back at 7f; new blinkers replace a visor. |
33/1 |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Popped up in an amateurs' event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) but well beaten twice since; unplaced in the corresponding race 12 months ago; others appeal more. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Snapped a losing run when getting up on the line over C&D last week (soft); no good thing to defy a 4lb penalty but should give his running. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On a losing run but consistent in the main; placed in C&D classified (good to soft) last month and copes pretty well with soft/heavy ground; probably won't be far away. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Ended long losing run at Brighton last month for Ruby Criscuolo; that came over 1m4f in first-time cheekpieces (back to a visor today) and he's strugged twice since; No Knee Never may be his yard's best chance. |
16/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Cosy winner of 1m4f amateur riders' race at Brighton last month; awkward start and just modest late gains on Lingfield AW since; has run respectably over this C&D but 0-18 on AW; hood returns in place of cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Responded well to second-time cheekpieces under Ruby Criscuolo at Brighton (1m4f) nine days ago, ending a long losing spell; placed over C&D the time before; in the mix, even with 4lb penalty. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-7 at Ffos Las but has been placed here; won at Chepstow (1m, soft) in June and excelled when third of 16 from a long way out of the weights in a valuable series final over that C&D (good to soft) next time; not so good over C&D (soft) six days ago, however, and his overall strike-rate is 2-40. |
6/1 |

4th 1 (7) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won on soft ground at Chepstow (1m) in June and excelled himself when third from a long way out of the weights in valuable series final over that C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; effectively 6lb lower here and commands respect in current form. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
He made a winning handicap debut in June 2024 (7f, good); mixed record since and his Brighton second last September was the only real bright spot in 2025; chance if returning at that level but it is not assured. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (12) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win was 15 months ago but that was off 7lb higher and he returned to form with a near-miss over C&D last time; has leading claims if he can back that up but best form has been on good/good to firm and it would be a worry if the ground is testing. |
13/2 |
|
2 (2) |
1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Began this season with two disappointing efforts but his fourths at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) and Goodwood (1m1f, good) last month were very respectable; drops in grade and features prominently in calculations. |

Exposed handicapper over 6f-1m2f on the Flat who has since left Faye Bramley; has a lot on his plate on stable/hurdles debut. |
20/1 |

7th 9 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up off this mark at Newbury (1m, good) in May but slow starts can be an issue and he's been well held in his last two runs; didn't get much luck at Nottingham last time but he's not easy to predict and others are more persuasive. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Slow starts can be an issue and he couldn't get into it when sixth at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) recently, but it wasn't a bad run and before that he was second at Newbury (1m, good); the step back up in trip may help and he might not be far away; the visor (worn on last two runs) is left off. |

11st 0lb |
Successful four times under regular rider Brodie Hampson, over 1m2f last three occasions including at Beverley and Lingfield on last two outings; back up another 2lb but remains well handicapped, including on peak efforts last term; rain probably okay; one for the shortlist. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Successful three times under regular rider Brodie Hampson, including at Beverley (1m2f) latest start; back up just 2lb he remains well handicapped on peak form; should remain competitive. |
100/30 |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Won over this trip for today's rider at Newbury last June (good to firm); rather inconsistent since, but fine second to an in-form rival at Chepstow last time (1m2f, good to soft; The Pug just behind in third); a possible off current good mark. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

11th 4 (9) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |
