18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; back to form when second at Carlisle (1m1f) where he came from the clouds off a fast pace (Sanafi Zabeel was third having been eased); that perhaps flattered him but considered nonetheless; has won on good to soft. |

2nd 2 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Snapped a losing sequence when he landed an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good; stays further) in June; shaped as though this longer trip and stiffer track would help at Thirsk last time; should have a say. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Closely matched with Jesmond Dawn on last month's runs at Ripon and it wasn't going to be easy in a Class 4 at York last time (33-1); this is more his level. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three AW wins include a C&D classified event in January; he added a turf win in July (also 1m) but not in the same form back in handicap company since and might be a shade high in the weights for now. |
10/1 |

11th 3 (11) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Decent record over C&D but lacks consistency and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark (Doncaster win last month came off 3lb lower); others hold stronger claims. |
16/1 |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Gained his second win on turf when landing a Doncaster handicap under Elle-May Croot 12 days ago, bouncing back from a lesser effort; can't be dismissed off this 4lb higher mark. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Rallied to win over C&D in June when the race was run to suit; ran respectably, despite things panning out less favourably, when returned to this scenario last time; possibilities if the cards drop right. |
13/2 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in June who didn't quite see it out over 1m1f here last time; not the easiest and often misses the break but a big field at this slightly lower level looks ideal; one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won off basement mark here in June and doubled tally in Ayr classified (also 1m, good) last month; further progress is not out of the question but he has more on his plate today and was soundly beaten in recent Ayr handicap won by Samra Star. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five turf wins at around 1m (good/good to firm), the latest off this mark at Leicester in May; not at his best on last two starts but he could go well in a modest event. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (10) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and has continued in good form, refitted in cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Musselburgh (1m) 16 days ago; that form has been franked so he can go well again. |
11/2 |

4th 1 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained his second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and posted a good third of 12 in 1m Carlisle handicap a week ago; this course winner rates a player off an unchanged mark. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Landed a juvenile hurdle at Hexham in June 2024 when trained by Ben Haslam; has been in the doldrums on the Flat for current yard and hard to be confident of improvement now back over hurdles. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole Flat win came at Redcar in May 2024; was out of the handicap when running well to finish second in similar event at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) under Kayla Ruddy last month; hasn't matched that in two subsequent starts but the return to this sphere may help; not discounted. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to make any further progress since winning 1m Ripon maiden a year ago and has been safely held on all three starts this season; might be aided by new tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces, though. |

6th 4 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A fair 1m winner in 2025; yet to beat a rival in a pair of 1m/1m1f handicaps at Ayr this season though so has plenty to prove. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three Musselburgh wins last year (all on good); hasn't found quite the same form this year, despite placing over C&D (good to soft) in August; disappointed at Musselburgh just five days ago. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three course wins last summer, at 1m and 7f (all on good); not in quite the same form this year, despite finishing second of five to stablemate Monhammer over C&D in August, and it would have been encouraging to see her at least repeat that run back here since; has some work to do. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Completed a Musselburgh hat-trick last summer; back in form this month, finishing 1l second to stablemate Monhammer over C&D then third at Ayr where she hung right; not ruled out. |
