1st 4 (3) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Proved a different proposition when stepped up to 2m in a first-time visor at Lingfield (AW) in July, getting off the mark under a positive ride; now 9lb higher but it would be a surprise if there wasn't more to come from this 3yo; leading claims. |

1st 7 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has improved since going handicapping, but was 8l behind Worlington at Ffos Las last week (1m4f, good); needs to benefit from new headgear and this step up to 2m. |

9st 1lb |
This gelding still looked raw when last of five on his recent handicap debut at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm; 7-1), having been gelded; could well have more to offer down in class though. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
He's enjoying a very good season and gained a third win when scoring at Carlisle (2m1f) in July; came in a clear second of four in 2m Newcastle AW handicap 23 days ago; very much one to consider. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Struggled at York in July after winning his previous start by a wide margin at Carlisle (2m1f, good), but got back on track with a solid effort at Newmarket last time; he's 2-2 over this C&D, both coming earlier this year, and has to be considered. |
9/4 |

3rd 2 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (2m, AW) early this year and another at Carlisle (2m1f, good) last month; struggled at York last time but he had a wide draw and was badly hampered at a crucial stage; can put a line through that and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Chester winner for Jennie Candlish in August 2025 (2m, good); mainly disappointing since, though ran a fair race on stable debut at Newcastle last month. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled in three starts in May/June and has left Jennie Candlish since he was down the field over hurdles at Cartmel in June; makes his stable debut having dropped 2lb below his last Flat winning mark but he was well beaten on his only previous start on the AW. |
14/1 |

9th 3 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Didn't set the world alight in his three handicap hurdles (won his two previous hurdle starts); those handicaps were at up to 2m1f and he's much more of a stayer on the Flat, but his two Flat runs at Chester (where he won last season) this term were disappointing; tongue tied first time. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from ten starts came in a 7f soft-ground maiden when trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam; has struggled since that success in 2023 and isn't proven over this far (tried up to 1m2f on the Flat). |
66/1 |
|
9th 7 (5) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
A fair 7f winner for Peter Chapple-Hyam in 2023; lightly raced since and well held at York (1m2f) and over hurdles at Uttoxeter last summer; not easy to make a case for on her comeback run here. |
50/1 |
