31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Low-mileage maiden who missed 2025; consistent this term for new yard, making the frame three times; account-opening win is not out of the question, with Oisin Murphy up for the first time. |

0-16 but best run for a while when beaten under 2l in a 1m classified race on the AW last time; a possible. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

15-race maiden who has been out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat this year; hasn't been with Tony Carroll for long but he was beaten 8l in a classified event at Brighton (1m2f) last week and others are preferred; stablemate of Masqool. |

Five-time winner who goes well here; his last run needs forgiving but he had been in a good run of form; considered, for all that this is a rare run without any form of headgear. |
11/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Five-time winner who has been in good form this season and found only one too good over C&D a month ago; could have done without the 2lb nudge but should be involved; has competitive form in the reapplied tongue-tie. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Running well over this trip on turf here in her last couple of starts, finishing runner-up in May and going one better under Seamus Cronin the following month; up 5lb, but latest form has been boosted with the second and third both winning twice since; respected if as effective back on Polytrack; stable also runs Dubai Harbour. |

18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

0-8 but produced her first worthwhile piece of form when runner-up in a handicap over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago; holds place claims at least if she can reproduce that effort. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Acts on all ground and returned to winning form over C&D (good) in June; well behind the winner in all four starts since, though, and has plenty to find from 10lb out of the weights. |
50/1 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
All three wins at about 1m, most recently over C&D in June (good; has won on good to firm), but his form has taken a turn for the worse since, over 1m (on two occasions) and 1m4f; has plenty to prove; usually wears aids but not today. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton as a 2yo; struggled badly in handicaps, including his stable debut (1m, good) two weeks ago; now drops into a 0-50 classified for the first time but his stamina isn't assured and there are risks attached. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden who became disappointing for Tom Ward, signing off for him with heavy defeat in first-time blinkers in May; goes without headgear on this stable debut; needs to have been reinvigorated by new regime. |

9st 9lb |
Placed on three of her five starts since returning from long layoff this year, including C&D (good) handicap third two starts ago; likely to pose a potent threat in this basement grade. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has done all her winning in the summer months and is currently 3-4 over this in-between trip; not as good since returning from a long absence but is still competitive at this level and holds claims on her latest Ffos Las third off the same mark. |

8th 4 (11) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip. |

0-15 but placed for the first time when second in a 1m2f classified here last month; did quite well given he was slowly away and this far is worth a go. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Still to make the frame after 14 starts (5f-1m); didn't see it out at Chepstow last time, having pulled hard back in the blinkers (removed today), and will need to settle better if he's to see out the longer trip. |

Ended a losing run in a similar event over C&D in January (visored first time); she has found it tougher going since and she needs to leave her latest run well behind her. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Hinted at ability in a couple of starts over this trip on turf last summer, but her last two starts over 1m with cheekpieces added (including on Polytrack) were moderate; plenty to prove after eight months off. |

Made the frame twice in maidens last year, but she's struggled in six handicaps at up to 1m4f; mark continues to fall but she's now 0-9 and has plenty to prove back in trip. |
