14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Progressed again to edge out a reliable yardstick at Doncaster (7f; 4lb lower) but then only fourth at York; that was a bit disappointing given he was made favourite but this is only his seventh race. |
3/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Bar a blip on AW in the spring (wore a first-time tongue tie which was quickly discarded) his profile is steadily progressive, edging out Alpha Capture (due to run here on Friday) in 7f Doncaster handicap (good to firm) 16 days ago; 4lb higher now back in a 3yo only race but he may have more to give. |

6f maiden winner on the AW; wore a tongue-tie on handicap debut but that was soon discarded and he ran well behind one completing a hat-trick at Nottingham; tries 7f for the first time and that could trigger something. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Has done well for this yard, in handicaps from 6f to 1m; he wasn't beaten far in a big field at York two runs ago after hitting some traffic and the winner (favourite) got first run on him when closing fast in a recent claimer at Chester (front two dominated); good chance off this mark back in a handicap, especially with Conor Whiteley taking off 5lb. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent since leaving Willie Mullins, performing well in handicaps from 6f to 1m; York last time wasn't necessarily a backward step as he wasn't beaten all that far in a big field after finding trouble in running; solid chance now into a claimer; first run here. |
11/4 |

10th 1 (9) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Enjoying good campaign for new yard, winning at Doncaster (7f, good) last month and short-headed there (7f, good to firm) latest; still mileage in his mark on old form (2yo Listed win here in 2022); didn't run well in 2023 when he wore blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) but lots to like otherwise. |

3rd 10 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins (including C&D) and a second from his six handicap runs; still has time to progress further and he looks a solid candidate once more. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made it four out of five in handicaps when prevailing in a big field at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); this lightly raced 4yo is clearly progressive and should be a tough nut to crack. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (7f) in May, and good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) in June; however, only fifth of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has to leave that run behind if he's to get off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

All four wins at Newcastle but nothing wrong with latest second at Chester, especially as he missed the break; good chance off 1lb higher. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Readily landed 7f handicap at Newcastle (fourth success there) 24 days ago; can't be ruled out on a rare turf start despite a 5lb weights rise. |

9st 5lb |
Five wins this year, with first four on AW and latest on turf at Redcar (7f, good) in May; placed twice since that last success but he didn't shine at Doncaster last time and he looks weighted near best off this mark. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Had a good season already and Toby Moore's claim is welcomed when he might be a shade high in the weights now; beaten 2l at Chester last time, just behind King's School whom he beat the time before. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Is enjoying a fine season and he racked up a fifth victory at Redcar (7f) in May; posted another very good effort with second of ten in 7f Newcastle handicap 24 days ago so he's a likely player once more. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

He's 9lb lower than when winning at Doncaster last March and may have needed his comeback run there this March, when mid-division; however, his form went the wrong way as last year developed and he needs to get back on track. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 4yo who won two 7f novices last August/September; dropping down the weights and a market check is advised but he's been down the field at Doncaster on his three starts this season (7f, good to firm). |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Landed a pair of 7f novices at Redcar and Newcastle last summer but he's failed to kick on sent handicapping, beating one on his seasonal return over C&D two weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Newbury novice winner over 6f and ran in a Listed race on final run last season; a disappointing return on handicap debut leaves her with questions to answer; unraced beyond 6f. |

9th 10 (9) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Broke duck on second start, at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last July; lost out only narrowly in a Salisbury novice next time but had more to do when down the field in a 5f Listed race when last seen nine months ago; race readiness the query today. |
10/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (6f, good to firm) last month on second start and very close third in Salisbury novice (6f, good to firm) since, when behind Indy B who is declared in the opener; it's possible she'll be suited by the drop back to 5f but she has quite a bit to find against today's opponents. |

Doubled her tally over C&D in June and was right back on song when close second at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but has a point to prove after weakening quickly on AW a fortnight ago. |

8th 6 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Likes it here; came back to form last Wednesday at Lingfield (turf) but has little room for manoeuvre off this mark, albeit she'll be 1lb higher from the weekend; vulnerable to improvers. |

2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Tends to win in her turn and it was a sixth success (second on turf) when taking 7f Doncaster handicap (good) five weeks ago; lesser form in two subsequent runs over that C&D, including when borderline tailed off a fortnight ago. |
