29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Doubled his tally for the season at Nottingham (5f) in July; not at his best both runs since however, coming in a well-held fourth of six at Salisbury (6f) last time; needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Two 5f wins this season but only four ran on the second occasion; put in his place at Glorious Goodwood last time but the return to 6f could prove beneficial. |
9/2 |

30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Added to an earlier Windsor win when beating three rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last week; ran respectably in a less competitive C&D race than this in May but a tendency to get behind early is a worry in this big field and he's 3lb badly in under a penalty. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
9yo who has dropped down the weights and showed spark when second of four at Nottingham last month; however, well beaten at Thirsk since and he's winless on turf since September 2021; others appeal more. |
50/1 |

12th 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, third of four in 5f Nottingham handicap last month; more is needed despite a tumbling mark. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
York win last summer came off 15lb higher, which shows how things have gone in the meantime; can miss the break (including in first-time headgear latest; now removed) but this race is easier than he's used to; career-low mark. |

2nd 5 (14) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
String of consistent efforts this summer, latterly when beaten on the nod at Wolverhampton last weekend; only 1lb higher and hard to knock out of the equation, but stall 14 isn't ideal for one happiest on the sharp end. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
3yo who has seen plenty of action but he's unexposed on AW; won at Doncaster and Redcar this summer and he's finished runner-up on Polytrack and turf in last two starts; his latest run was just three days ago but that was a bold bid in a Class 4 event (6f, good) and he's respected on this drop back in grade. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a first success at Doncaster (6f) in July and added to it over C&D in August; posted another good effort with second of seven in 6f AW handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago; must enter calculations again nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
