4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won here (1m, good to firm) in July and followed up at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) seven days later; there's a suspicion he's gone off the boil but he was badly hampered when making headway at Newbury last Wednesday and is not written off. |
11/1 |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Two wins in July (1m, good to firm) triggered a sharp rise in the weights and his new mark is looking troublesome; the return of Seamus Cronin's claim will at least help in that respect. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
100-1 when fifth of 18 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) last month and his run at Ayr eight days later may have come soon enough; now back off his last winning mark and has shown good form on soft ground; high on list. |
9/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

On a perfectly good mark, he won't mind rain and he ran surprisingly well to be fifth in last week's Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood; lots to like. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Possible to excuse his last two efforts and was running well in defeat before that; 2lb lower than when successful at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year and, with the likely conditions not an issue, he makes the shortlist. |
7/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fairly useful 1m winner in 2025; back on track when runner-up in handicaps (around 1m) at Thirsk and Epsom this summer but only eighth at Sandown (1m) last time; needs to bounce back. |

3rd 6 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Below form after racing too freely at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) last week but began this season with two good efforts, the latter a close second at Chester (7.6f, good); could have a say. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
2-4 over 7f for this stable last year but made a low-key return over that trip in May and is not sure to be suited by this drop back to 6f. |
16/1 |
|
16th 5 (16) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins (one on turf at Doncaster) and a second from his four starts for new stable last season, all in 7f handicaps; failed to settle last time, yet still challenged strongly in the final 1f and left the impression he remains capable of better. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
7f maiden winner in May and held his own in handicaps until a poor last run, since when he's been gelded; entitled to play a part if back to best. |
4/1 |
|
10th 7 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
On the up since joining current yard, landing 7f Lingfield maiden (good) in May before he was beaten two short heads at Chester (7.5f, soft) a fortnight ago; runner-up was a convincing winner at Carlisle on Wednesday; up 2lb and he's a big player if this drop back down to 6f proves no barrier. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He's on a competitive mark on last season's best form at up to 1m and didn't run badly when sixth of 11 at Chester (7f, good to soft) on his reappearance in June; however, that's been his sole outing this term and others arrive with more pressing claims. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-Irish filly who ran away with a Ripon handicap (1m, soft; cheekpieces first time) last week; unexposed on slow ground and looks well in under her penalty; solid claims. |
100/30 |

1st 10 (7) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fair ex-Irish maiden; made a positive start for new yard with fourth in 1m Hamilton handicap in July but beat only one at Southwell (1m) last month; cheekpieces go on for the first time now. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Three Polytrack wins came over 7f-1m and found stamina kicking in late when winning off 3lb lower in a big field over this trip at Brighton recently; will want a similarly good test round here, and not too much rain (since taken out on good to soft ground). |
