3rd 10 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Has form figures of 23131 and he made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton when landing a 7f handicap there last month; 6lb higher on this step up in grade but this 3yo is bred to be useful and he's open to more progress back on turf; respected. |

1st 9 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Shaped with a deal of promise on his first run at beyond sprint trips/handicap debut at Southwell three weeks ago, when not helped by the way the race panned out; will have learned more again from that and should go well. |
3/1 |

3rd 10 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Short prices for three sprint novices/maidens thus far, getting off the mark when coming away with a subsequent winner last month; unexposed as he enters handicap company and remains open to improvement. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won a maiden here over 6f last September and she's posted two good efforts over 7f at Wolverhampton on her last two outings, including when having to wait for a run on the home turn last month; her turn looks near and she makes the shortlist. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (9) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won her maiden on Tapeta and turned in her best effort of the year back on the AW over C&D late last month, when coming away with the winner/favourite; not as well drawn tonight and is 3lb higher but holds claims nonetheless. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Having a first run on Tapeta since winning her maiden at Southwell last autumn; the impression remains that she's capable of better and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market back from a short break. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made the breakthrough in his first turf handicap when scoring at Haydock (good) last July, and he was back down to that same mark when a resurgent third at Wolverhampton (again 7f, AW) last month; often races freely and this first crack at 6f looks well worth a go; unproven away from a sound surface but he's otherwise interesting. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Found the race not run to suit at Epsom early last month, when hanging left, but then pulled way too hard in front on his Tapeta debut latest; that was far from the first time he'd over-raced and much will hinge on how he settles early from the inside stall. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
One win from five handicap runs, when making all over 7f at Haydock last summer; looked capable of finding some improvement when a never-nearer fourth of ten at Epsom (7f) in June on second run back from a layoff, despite not handling the track; acts on Polytrack but unraced on Tapeta. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Rather a modest third returned to turf last time; only 1-30 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off current mark) and holds a fighting chance back here. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Ran well in a higher level on the AW two weeks ago (125-1) and that was after a lengthy break; might be sharper this time and has competitive form here off this sort of mark. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7f winner here in August and next run (fifth at 9-4) possibly came too soon after that; returning to 1m will not inconvenience him, stall 2 should be ideal for a front-runner and he wears cheekpieces for the first time; one to consider. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Missed more than 18 months prior to a few lesser efforts in the spring, but has found his level again; enjoyed the run of the race when winning narrowly on Polytrack last Wednesday but set to go well again under a penalty for a yard in good nick. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Progressive handicapper in 2024; 2025 was a struggle, including when tailed off in this race, and last month's reappearance didn't suggest he was the obvious solution here. |
33/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Three turf wins over a straight 1m for Edward Bethell as a 3yo, latterly off a 2lb lower mark, before struggling during a limited campaign last year; would need a career-best effort for his new yard (also responsible for Spaceman) back from 11 months off. |
33/1 |

13th 8 (6) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three of four 1m handicap starts to end last season, including on soft; disappointed in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on reappearance (final start for Ed Bethell) but better signs when sixth of 13 in 1m Southwell Racing League event last month on his first outing for Richard Fahey; entitled to come on for the run. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here off 2lb lower last October, his third over C&D; last month's Chester comeback from a short break should have brought him on and he holds each-way claims under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a good record for the yard. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Proved resurgent with close second at Yarmouth (1m) last week; scored twice over C&D in February; possibilities returned to this scenario, provided he backs up the latest effort. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won twice over 7f on AW in February and seemed to have emerged from worrying slump in form when sixth at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) this month; needs to build on that effort but is on a good mark and 1m also suits. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won a couple of 7f handicaps at Southwell in February; this mark in range judged on his second at Southwell in March but his last three runs have been poor and it is easy to have reservations at present. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has kept his head down on AW for new yard and again without the cheekpieces he wore for the latest of four wins (6f and 7f) for previous stable; back on turf with a query but he's dropped a hefty chunk in the weights and this trainer may well get a good tune out him at some stage. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on his best form for Richard Hughes but miles below that level since moving yards. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4-21, with the most recent success coming at Newbury (6f, good) last April off a 12lb higher mark than today's; below his best on his final three starts for Richard Hughes and has failed to beat a rival home in two outings for this stable; others preferred. |
