24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo who scored comfortably at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago on second run back from a long absence; open to further improvement at this level and warrants respect. |
7/2 |

1st 3 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well-connected 5yo who showed signs of ability as a 2yo but missed the next two seasons; just 4-1 to make a winning yard/handicap debut at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month but he never showed, albeit not disgraced; clearly thought capable of better; has possibilities. |

Well-bred 5yo; showed promise as a 2yo for Richard Hannon (three runs; 6f-1m) but makes stable/handicap debut after mammoth 1,059-day absence; market helpful. |

9st 9lb |
Cheekpieces back on (retained) when gaining a deserved first success in 1m Kempton handicap 15 days ago, doing well to get up late having been set a lot to do; up 3lb but looks to have more to offer over this longer trip; big shout. |

Lightly raced gelding who has been generally progressive so far and was runner-up behind a handicap blot at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago; sports first-time cheekpieces; likely contender. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Winless since 2yo debut but he goes well fresh, returning from a break to finish second of 11 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last September and runner-up on Kempton AW (1m) on reappearance in May, despite bleeding from the nose; major contender. |
15/8 |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Promise to begin with for former and current yard; might find things happening too quickly running over a trip this short for the first time; back from a break. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) last March but he's been up and down since and has struggled in last two runs; overall record is now 1-15 and he needs a major revival back in trip; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
9th 12 (3) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Good to soft ground was probably against him when well held at Salisbury recently but, even though most of his best form is on the AW, he can't be ruled out off a useful turf mark on his best grass form in 2025; a revival is possible. |
22/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his best form, and sole win, is on the AW, but he would come right into this reckoning if able to reproduce a good third of 14 at Newbury last summer when 11lb higher; however, he wasn't in the same form in two subsequent runs there, nor back on the AW last time. |

9st 3lb |
Runner-up in two handicaps at about 1m3f (AW and good turf) for Joseph O'Brien but he's been tailed off in last two runs including on recent stable debut at Salisbury (1m, good to soft); passed over. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in two handicaps at about 1m3f (AW and good turf) for Joseph O'Brien but tailed off when favourite at Roscommon in May; sold for 16,000gns since; has a question mark against him over this trip on yard debut with headgear discarded. |
9/1 |
|
12th 2 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 8lb |
Was just in front of Sea Of Dubka when second on seasonal/handicap debut on AW (10.5f); 7-2 fav, outpaced turning for home before keeping on well on inner (not much room) when chasing home Femme Beauty at Killarney (1m3f) last week; extra furlong should be fine. |

The Salisbury win (1m, good) in August is this year's standout performance; beaten 17l and 20l in her subsequent races. |
20/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Winner of one of her three C&D starts, when making all last month (good; acts on soft), but her race was run from a long way out when going unpenalised next time; not weighted out of it despite going back up 5lb and has had a longer break between races this time; can be involved. |
6/1 |

4th 8 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Made all to win a C&D handicap eight days ago; unpenalised for that win and officially 5lb ahead of the handicapper but it may not be quite so straightforward this time. |

Yet to be competitive for new connections this year and can't be entertained until he shows something more positive. |

|
7th 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet recaptured form for new connections this year but he's on a useful mark now, 12lb lower than a Haydock win (1m, good) last September; needs to show more than of late, even so. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Haydock (1m, good) last September but he's struggled for new yard this season and was a well-held fourth of five at Leicester last time; has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two AW wins at 1m for previous yard and he has run to a fair level for this one, on AW and good to soft; on a handy mark now but needs to show he has the stamina for this stiff test back at 1m. |
25/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won with cheekpieces added at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in February but that was a seller and he's been well back in handicaps in three runs for his current yard; continues to drop down the weights but he's untried at this trip and others are preferred. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Left Karl Burke after winning an AW seller in February (1m); nearer last than first in two 1m handicaps for current yard. |
