3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at York (5f, good to firm) in July and he was back to form when second on the AW last Saturday; tends to race close to the pace and should make another bold bid with Conor Whiteley claiming a handy 5lb. |

2nd 2 (9) |

9st 13lb |
Tended to be all or nothing on turf this season but boasts a consistent record over C&D (two wins, two seconds and two thirds from eight runs); doesn't arrive in much form but the switch from grass looks in his favour. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Dual winner here, latterly over C&D off 1lb lower early in the year; usually gives his running, including when not beaten far in a small field at Redcar when last seen seven weeks ago, and holds claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Placed three consecutive times in May-July, most recently when close second off today's mark at York (5f, good to firm); behind Democracy Dilemma when mid-pack in big field at Glorious Goodwood last week but that certainly wasn't a bad run; can make his presence felt. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Played his part in a strong pace last time at York yet hung around to finish a half-length behind winner Ziggy's Triton; has little margin for error off this mark and other pace influences temper enthusiasm. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish mare who gained a first win for her current yard at Thirsk (5f) in June; her form has dipped of late though so more is needed after a below-par seventh of ten at Doncaster (5f) 13 days ago. |

7th 5 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

Won at Thirsk (5f, good) in June and ran well in defeat on next three starts; handles good to soft; reportedly never travelled when below par at Thirsk (5f, good) last month but can be in the mix if bouncing back. |
8/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Consistent mare in a good run of form and from off the pace she was only a length behind Managing Director in a big field at York last time (5f); solid chance. |

Won at York (5f, good) in June and close third there (5f, good to firm) in July; however, soundly beaten on her last two outings (5f/6f, good) and there remains a question mark about 6f. |

Two 5f wins this year and she ran her best race so far when third of 12 at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; races off the same mark here and should make another bold bid. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
He has made giant strides for Adam Kirby this year, winning four times; gamely saw off Adrestia at Doncaster last month and his latest Haydock fourth wasn't a bad run given the heavy ground was a new experience for him; another career best will be needed to win but the return to a sound surface and first-time cheekpieces could see him hit a new high. |
11/2 |

4th 4 (7) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive for this trainer, notching his fourth win of 2026 when seeing off 15 rivals at Doncaster (5f, good) under Callum Rodriguez 13 days ago; likely to give it another good shot. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive sort who has notched up three wins in 2026 and went mighty close over the extended 5f here on latest outing (made most, raced away from the rest); unraced on softer than good; otherwise looks a major player. |

9st 4lb |
Off the mark for the year with her win at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in August; wore first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f, good) nine days ago and she ran well for second; another 1lb higher today but foolish to discount. |
15/2 |

2nd 4 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten in the Portland at Doncaster 12 days ago, having won that 5.6f handicap 12 months earlier; however, she won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) two starts ago and is fine at 6f and on good/good to firm ground; this front-runner is not discounted in first-time cheekpieces. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

9st 13lb |
4lb higher than for his win in this race 12 months ago, after which he went on to score at Glorious Goodwood; fine return to action (after wind surgery) at Thirsk in May but no progress in two subsequent runs; Warren Fentiman back on board now dropping in class; high on the list. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won big-field 5f handicaps at York and Goodwood last July; two solid efforts in defeat this season and he won on his only visit to Epsom, albeit over 7f; not impossibly treated but he wouldn't want the ground to be any slower than good. |
16/1 |

7th 16 (19) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Won big-field handicaps over C&D (good to firm) and at Goodwood (5f, good) last July, and this 9yo returned from wind surgery with a back-to-form, neck second at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; Harry Vigors removes a valuable 7lb and this prominent-racer could be bang there once more. |

Four of his nine wins have been over C&D but he's not easy to predict and was well held here last time; now 2lb lower than for his win at Southwell in April but he comes with risks attached. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Smart in his pomp; 2026 has been a struggle but he has dropped 19lb in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company; too much ability to discount but he is looking increasingly moody in the early part of his races. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

His last win was off 15lb higher in July 2025; threatened only once from seven starts this term, in a small field three runs ago, and soon got detached on last two outings, so others are readily preferred. |

Six-time AW winner but he's 0-14 on turf and was only seventh of 17 back in this sphere at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; one of three runners for Mick Appleby and he has work to do back up in grade. |

Made a winning start for new yard at Catterick (5f) in May and doubled his tally at Newcastle (5f) following month; has beaten just one rival at York and back at Catterick on his last two starts though so has something to prove. |

Made all, winning unchallenged, over C&D (Class 6; 5-2 favourite) in May; added to his tally at Newcastle (5f; from a mark of 68) the following month; latest York effort (Class 4; last of 12) was a poor one, with his trainer unable to offer an explanation; drawn widest of all. |

Firmly on the up for his new stable, making all at Catterick before narrowly denied by Rotokura Belle over C&D; back to winning ways with a Newcastle success 15 days ago (much more convincing than the neck margin might suggest); up 6lb in a better race but he's a speedy and progressive 3yo who commands major respect. |
