12th 4 (9) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
No problem with soft ground and he returns to Class 5 after two defeats at a higher level; only 3lb higher than for his front-running win at Thirsk (6f, good) in June; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Returned to form when making all at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but he failed to back that up in a Silver Cup trial at Ayr last month; that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |
|
16th 17 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two runner-up finishes for his new yard prior to scrambling home in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago; 4lb rise not obviously generous but the new cheekpieces could help; promise on good to soft as a 2yo. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Started nurseries on an unrealistic mark for Richard Hannon but has found his level again now, narrowly being denied off 1lb lower last time (best of the group that started out racing near side at Nottingham); this half-brother to a C&D winner is shortlisted. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Newmarket novice (6f, good) last May, his third start, but beaten 11 times since including all four runs for John Butler; his penultimate second at Thirsk was a good run though and when down the field at York last time it was a Class 4; not out of it. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won an Ayr maiden (6f, good) and a C&D novice (good to firm) last August; some fair runs in handicaps this season, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten a long way with cheekpieces added at York last time; stablemate of Bleep Test. |
8/1 |
|
13th 14 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-8 in handicaps but he's started to knock on the door from this reduced mark with a pair of third-place finishes this month; this is a better race but newly applied cheekpieces might eke out more. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Doubled her tally at Ripon (6f) in April; below par this summer until much better signs with second of 12 over C&D 17 days ago; the winner has gone in again so she must enter calculations off the same mark. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 13 (2) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Up-and-down form since her Ripon win (6f, good to soft) in April; back to that winning mark now but easy enough to have reservations about. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been rather disappointing since winning off 1lb lower at Ripon in April (6f, good to soft), including in cheekpieces two runs ago (last of 13 at York); effective at 5f; easier ground suits. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
12-race maiden who has had an underwhelming campaign in the main but he returned to form when runner-up at Thirsk (7f, good) a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft ground; could be involved if producing another good run. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (8) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Maiden who's regressed in headgear this season; no sign of a revival despite his mark continuing to fall; cheekpieces return, replacing blinkers. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (13) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Maiden who's regressed in cheekpieces this season and is now given a go in blinkers, off the back of a poor first run back from wind surgery last time; too many defeats at short prices for comfort and needs a revival on his AW debut. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-9 but produced one of his better efforts when runner-up at Catterick (7f, good to soft) last Tuesday; has claims if able to reproduce that effort with first-time visor fitted. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Best efforts have come on Tapeta and he hasn't convinced in a couple of runs at beyond 6f; proven regressive since handicapping this season, again running below market expectations last time. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Placed in one of his seven outings and finished midfield over this C&D in June; disappointed in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) at Ayr (7f, soft) in June and now returns to 6f having been dropped another 3lb. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Newcastle (6f, AW) last December and he's been placed there in three of his last four runs including when runner-up over 5f last week; on same mark here but his best efforts have been on Tapeta and he's been well held in last four turf runs; some risks attached. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winner over 6f here in December; best runs since have been here, including neck second to Houndhill over C&D in May; a possible. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 6f nursery course nursery in December and also a close second over C&D last month (first run since being gelded); not so good on turf since but better can be expected back on AW. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a two-runner race at Leicester in June (1m, good to firm); mainly disappointing since and now makes his AW debut. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came in a match at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in June; ran well when beaten a short head at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in August, but it's back to the drawing board after a couple of disappointing efforts at Newmarket and Thirsk; down to a career-low mark and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time, so has possibilities. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark in a match at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in June but has struggled for consistency since; best effort when beaten a short head at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month when galvanised by a first-time hood (left off here); came up short since but holds claims if on a going day. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
15-race maiden; twice beaten around 3l off higher marks this term and she's dropped to a career low; part of a three-pronged attack from Simon Whitaker. |
28/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
14-race maiden; twice beaten about 3l this season, including at Pontefract (6f, good) on latest start, but there are more likely winners. |
25/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden; ran well in 5f handicap here (soft) last October and had a frustrating run over that trip on Newcastle AW in July on her second run back from a layoff; respectable fourth of 14 back over 6f there since and a slightly lesser test at the trip should suit; not too far away. |
20/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Maiden who showed more than her final position would suggest over 5f here last time, when hitting plenty of traffic; that was only her second run back this year and she's worth a look. |
16/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Close third on handicap debut at Nottingham last October (5f, soft); beaten more than 9l only AW start; bit to prove after below-par reappearance run in June. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won over 6f here for Ralph Beckett last October; 0-7 in handicaps for current yard and no obvious signs of turning things around. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (5) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
6f AW win for Ralph Beckett last October; struggled in handicaps for this yard, including after a wind op three weeks ago; the addition of cheekpieces, drop to 0-55 company and return to AW (1-1) are the straws to clutch at. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (1) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
It has been a real struggle since joining this yard; he's now plummeting down the weights but still requires last month's wind operation to have made a substantial difference. |
