31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Having been gelded he won three from four last season, including after a six-month break; finished lame when beaten; may yet have more to offer but has been found a competitive handicap after a year off. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Returned from 190 days off to win a Doncaster handicap in June and he followed up at Thirsk last month (both 6f, good to firm); came up short in his hat-trick bid at Carlisle three weeks ago, a race where he dropped away quickly in the final furlong; finished lame there so that run perhaps not the one to judge him on; still not fully exposed. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promise in his sole 2yo start (6f, good to firm); no progress in two runs this year but he has been sent off a single-figure price on each start and could take a step forward now handicapping at a realistic level. |
16/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Third of eight in a C&D maiden on sole 2yo start last August; absent until reappearing at Doncaster four weeks ago (gelded after debut), a race where he failed to get home having taken a strong hold; slower ground to deal with today; improvement essential. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
First leg of a 6f double in May came here on good to firm; also finished close up over 6f on good to soft on final two runs for Ben Haslam but never better than midfield in 7f York handicap for new yard in July; returns from eight weeks off with second-time cheekpieces replacing the visor he wore at York. |
6/1 |
|
11th 18 (12) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Won two in a row in May (6f, good to firm/good) and finished close up on final two runs for Ben Haslam (6f, good to soft); changed hands for 14,000gns recently and he should be fine back up to 7f on his stable debut; might not be far away in a first-time visor. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton in June and he's also had some close calls this season including at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago; now drops back in trip but he was only just caught after setting a strong pace last time and is a key player off unchanged mark. |
9/2 |

3rd 10 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Found out by the drop back to 6f at Catterick 19 days ago; in good form over this trip beforehand but in a lower grade; could prove vulnerable in Class 4 company. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-16 but he's been threatening to put that right in recent starts, fourth at Southwell and runner-up at Carlisle in two runs last month; blinkers now given a go (beaten in cheekpieces and a visor in the past); unraced on soft but he is by Mayson so there can be encouragement he'll handle it. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 but he has shown winning potential, including when keeping on for fourth at Southwell on Sunday having been short of room over 1f out; has to prove his stamina for a stiff 7f though. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Hit traffic last time, on his second run back from a break, and is down to a career-low mark now; this is a bit easier than he's used to, going beyond sprint trips for the first time in a couple of years (dual 7f Musselburgh winner in the past). |
8/1 |

11th 10 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
In winning form on the AW over the winter; had been off for five months when not disgraced with fifth of ten in 6f Southwell AW handicap 16 days ago; can build on it here. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
She has run well over C&D in the past and won't be inconvenienced if significant rain arrives; she has been beaten off this mark on her last three starts though and needs to pull out a bit extra. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been on good ground on slower; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in May and has posted two good efforts since, the most recent coming when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; off since but has to be respected. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner; won twice on Polytrack in early part of this year and returned from break with two good Tapeta runs last month; evidently in good nick but needs to prove herself on turf. |
6/1 |
|
4th 12 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who has been in good form since joining this stable, winning twice at Chelmsford and finishing in the first three on three occasions, most recently when runner-up at Musical Solider over C&D nine days ago; that was her first start since March and she has strong claims. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Dual soft-ground winner, including over C&D, who won't mind any rain; generally run well since switched from cheekpieces to a visor and holds claims in a race lacking depth. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a losing run with a front-running 6f win at Thirsk in April; not so good since but he is well drawn to attack and this track suits his aggressive racing style; one to take seriously. |
7/1 |
