20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when trouncing his rivals at Windsor and he followed up with a 5l success at Carlisle (1m, good) last month; shot up the weights after those wins but he ran another good race when a close fourth over C&D last month; needs to kick on again to defy this mark but he's still lightly raced and is bred to be useful. |
7/2 |

4th 4 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unexposed gelding who has form figures of 211 in handicaps and who has won by 5l at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (1m, good) in those last two runs; up another 11lb but he still looks feasibly on his latest form and is open to more progress; major player. |
7/4 |

1st 3 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Improved effort when just denied on his handicap debut at Windsor (1m) in May and he made no mistake with an emphatic win over that C&D (also good to firm) 12 days ago; raised 10lb but he's firmly on the up and looks the one to beat. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He recorded two soft-ground wins (1m1f/1m2f) in June and wasn't discredited over further on AW in two subsequent starts; stiff 1m2f might be his gig and any rain would be a bonus; interesting. |
7/1 |

3rd 7 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Showed promise on good to firm on reappearance, before last month's soft-ground wins at Lingfield (1m1f) and Ayr (1m2f); he had no answers, however, when fifth of 14 to Roc De Fer at Southwell (1m3f, AW) four days ago. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two 7f classified races in June, the second here (comfortably); stays this far and, although she hung away her chance here last time, we know she can handle the track. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won a couple of 0-50 classified events in June, including over C&D, before held under a penalty in a Windsor handicap over further; perhaps that came too soon in a race that didn't pan out her way and she could well bounce back. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Got off the mark in 7f classified event at Leicester and quickly followed up in similar company at Brighton (7f) six days ago; a bit more is needed here back in handicap company under a 6lb penalty but she still must enter calculations. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |

Not beaten far in two 1m handicaps last month and the form of both has been boosted; wouldn't be nailed on to appreciate the longer trip, though. |
6/1 |

5th 8 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Good fourth at Bath (1m) switched to handicap level last time and may take another step forward; one to consider. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all over 1m2f at Brighton (good to firm) in June but that was in first-time cheekpieces and she's not kicked on. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Benefited from combination of step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces when making all over C&D (good to firm) in June, her seventh start; open to further progress but needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Leicester last month. |
5/1 |
|
7th 4 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Stamina doubts on pedigree upped to this trip last time but they proved unfounded, as she made all round Brighton in first-time cheekpieces; that wasn't much of a race and she's 5lb higher but she remains relatively unexposed. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Mostly consistent 3yo who doubled his tally when winning at Nottingham (1m1f, good to firm) last month before another good run under a penalty at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm), finishing a 1l second; off the same mark today and has to be considered. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Gained a deserved second success of 2026 in 1m1f handicap at Nottingham six days ago, edging out Katalyst; shoulders a 6lb penalty now but this reliable sort must enter calculations. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His two wins have come over 1m at Bath, the more recent coming off a 3lb lower mark in April; runner-up on his last three starts and no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of it. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Always prominent when winning a pair of handicaps at Windsor (1m, good to firm); came up short in his hat-trick bid at Lingfield (1m, AW) on Tuesday but Billy Loughnane replaces a 7lb claimer and there could still be further progress in him. |
8/13 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Well beaten on handicap/AW debut over C&D in April, but has suddenly taken off on turf lately with two wins at Windsor (1m, good to firm), the first under Jude Fernandes; has a 6lb penalty to carry, but still a major player if his progress can be transferred back to Polytrack. |
8/11 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Came good at seventh attempt, readily making all over C&D six weeks ago; that form has been well advertised by the clear runner-up since and this fellow could still be well handicapped after a 5lb rise. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has improved since switched to this C&D with cheekpieces added, finishing second of ten behind a dual subsequent winner last month before narrowly winning a 0-50 classified event; this race will demand more, but something has clicked and she has less to prove than a few. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
3yo filly who posted a better effort with cheekpieces added when runner-up in a C&D handicap last Monday; was beaten around 4l in that race but she's still unexposed and has claims if she can build on that. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't look to see out 1m2f in a 0-50 classified event here last time and is tried in first-time headgear back down in trip; not easily recommended. |

Six-race maiden who has posted regressive results in handicaps and has enough to prove back up further in trip. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

7th 3 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Having only third run on turf when second at Haydock (1m, good; unraced on softer) and she came from some way back to go close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW), the scene of her sole success; strongly considered. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Pounced to break her duck over C&D (beat Blue Celestial by half-a-length) on penultimate start; gave a good account of herself back on turf when second at Haydock (1m) subsequently; it's likely she'll be in the mix again with Rose Dawes retaining the ride. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Got up late to shed her maiden tag at the 12th attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago; comfortably held on both turf starts but it's too soon to suggest she won't prove as effective on the grass. |
