28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing. |

9st 6lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error. |
8/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark at Yarmouth (5f) in August and didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a good third of seven under a 5lb penalty at Brighton (6f) 17 days ago; a player off a 2lb lower mark here. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has often pulled hard and has been suited by the drop to 5f lately, taking advantage of a career-low mark when winning at Yarmouth last weekend; picks up a 5lb penalty for that narrow win and will need to settle better back up to 6f. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Largely consistent for new stable this year and was close second off today's mark at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) on penultimate appearance; unlucky not to finish closer to the target when third of four there last time and has the services of Tom Marquand here; good chance. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Five-race maiden who missed the whole of last year; not beaten far when last of four behind So Smart and Savannah Smiles over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago and 1lb better off with the pair, but he still needs to find a bit more. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
He was returning from 736 days on the sidelines when third of eight in a 0-50 classified event over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; tired in the closing stages on that occasion and he should last longer with the run behind him; open to improvement. |
6/1 |
