6th 3 (9) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has a patchy profile but he got back on the scoresheet with a comfortable win at Epsom (7f, good to soft) last month; up 4lb but that was a personal best last time and he's had a light campaign this season; respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
His two C&D runs last season yielded a win and a close second (in this race off a 1lb higher mark); best effort this year when third of 13 at Southwell two weeks ago; handles good to soft but untried on slower. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 (12) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
2-3 on AW surfaces; he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts and the signs were more encouraging at Thirsk 15 days ago (7f), as although only midfield he wasn't beaten all that far; others are still preferred. |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by ground softer than good; ten-time winner, mainly at Goodwood, most recently in last year's Golden Mile off 12lb higher; has proved resurgent with second-place finishes over 7f the last twice, latest at Haydock; in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (12) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Given his fine record on slow ground at Goodwood he was thoroughly underwhelming there last weekend, but two days later he bounced straight back to finish second at Epsom (7f, good to soft); might run well again but he's hard to catch right these days. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Wins at Pontefract (6f) and Catterick (7f) this summer and he has run with credit on his last two starts; worth a crack at 1m but his stamina will be tested given the underfoot conditions. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Could only manage a midfield finish at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) when bidding for a hat-trick; still has relatively low mileage but this is deeper than the Catterick event he won on his penultimate start. |
7/2 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Took a while to hit the target but he had some notable maiden form, including at this meeting last year, and now bids for a hat-trick after wins under Jack Nicholls at Pontefract (6f maiden, good to soft) and Catterick (7f handicap; good to firm); further improvement is possible; respected. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 0-10 since debut win but he is much less exposed on AW than on turf and ran well, behind a subsequent winner, in this sphere on penultimate start; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Still to add to his debut win but twice a runner-up in handicaps this summer, more recently at Lingfield (7f, AW) three weeks ago; handles good to soft but untried on slower; dangerous if left alone up front. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried following his successful debut at Ayr (6f, good) in June last year and wasn't up to it; second of nine in a handicap at Chester (7.7f, good to soft) in June, but has enough to prove after a modest AW debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Hampered early last time when bidding to enhance his good record at Epsom; effective at Leicester and ran respectably (fifth of 15) in this race 12 months ago; has to deal with a 3lb higher mark back here. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever when winning at Chepstow (7f, soft) in June; he was returning from a ten-week break when finishing behind Aurora Majesty at Southwell 15 days ago; 2-3 at the track and won't mind how slow the ground gets; no surprise to see him go well. |
6/1 |
|
8th 14 (13) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Took strike-rate to 5-16 when winning comfortably at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) ten weeks ago, looking better than ever; 7lb higher in this classier contest but has run well here before and he's not easily knocked. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Promise in her three 2yo runs, including on soft; may have needed her reappearance at Newbury (7f, good to firm) six weeks ago but this mark doesn't look an obvious gift. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Absent since running creditably in valuable race at Deauville (6.5f) last August; won easily at Doncaster (7f) the time before; still unexposed and looks interesting on reappearance, especially if the market speaks positively. |
7/2 |
|
2 (3) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Price shot up from £50,000 as yearling to 450,000euros at a breeze-up sale in May; attracted some support into 9-1 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and she kept on under a prominent ride to finish a clear second behind an emphatic winner; that was a promising start and this looks a golden opportunity. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four wins this year include a C&D handicap on good to firm and now only 3lb higher than for the last of those victories; close up at Wolverhampton last month (7f) and lesser shows either side of that were at Epsom, a track that perhaps doesn't suit her. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won four times in May-July (7f, good to firm/good); inconsistent since but she was a good third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Friday and can be in the mix if backing up that performance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has the best pedigree in this field and she's 4-13 having won four 7f turf handicaps this year; better than ever when third last month and when below par at Epsom it was her first run on ground slower than good; has yet to prove herself on the AW but only had two attempts. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has failed to carry 2025 progress into 2026, notwithstanding a success (off 1lb lower in lesser grade) in July; furthermore, has proved inconsistent this year; opposed in this competitive field. |
20/1 |
|
9th 9 (14) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner last summer who reacted well to blinkers when getting his head back in front at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in July; ran well in a hot race at York one week later but three lesser runs have followed and the headgear is left off now. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Had a wind op in June and he was back to winning ways at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; blinkered first time) in July; ran well in a hot race at York one week later but his form since has been less convincing; back down in the weights; handles good to soft, untried on slower. |
