4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Course win (6f) on debut; had been knocking at the door this summer prior to a disappointing run at Salisbury last month; return to 7f needs to have a positive effect. |
10/1 |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins as a 3yo, the latter a C&D handicap off 1lb lower last October; good runs in defeat on his last two starts (7f, soft and good to firm); should make another bold bid. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive since fitted with headgear and switched to handicaps, winning three times and second twice from five attempts; had next-time-out scorers behind in second/third when gaining latest win at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago and a further 6lb rise seems unlikely to prevent a bold bid from this improving 3yo. |
4/1 |

1st 6 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive in blinkers before switched to a visor and winning narrowly at Epsom (1m127yds); he did some hanging but that was probably due to the track; a 6lb rise seems hefty enough but he's trending in the right direction. |

Dual AW winner (7f/6f) who was over 1m for the first time when second at Sandown a month ago (good to firm); this ground is a grey area but couldn't dismiss. |

1st 8 (17) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained two emphatic wins in May after the cheekpieces went on, the second one over this C&D (good to firm); a 10lb rise seemed to find him out when third of four at Newbury (1m, good to firm) the following month and he needs to resume his progress; unraced on ground slower than good. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive; 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing a convincing 7f Lingfield win with another over 1m at Chepstow (good to firm, 4-6 favourite); this is a sterner test from 10lb higher than last time but, with fast ground to suit, it'll be no surprise if he's up to the challenge. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had dropped to a good mark prior to making all in a lower grade at Sandown (1m, good to firm); solid chance off 3lb lower and goes on all ground. |
7/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His losing run is up to 13 and he's not as good as he was, but off a reduced mark he's run well to be third on his last three outings, over C&D (good to firm) last time after a two-month break; could be thereabouts. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won his maiden on soft and on seventh career start he ran better than ever when close up in a small field at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); that race didn't go to plan, either; back on slow ground this sharper test shouldn't inconvenience; respected. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Leicester maiden (6f, soft) last October but he was gelded after a disappointing comeback at Newbury in April; ran into some trouble when a respectable fourth at Sandown in June but he failed to build on that at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; still unexposed after only six starts but he needs improvement at this new trip. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in small-field nurseries (both 1m, AW) for George Boughey; made stable debut after 138 days off and was flattered to finish close up behind a Prescott improver at Ffos Las (7.5f, good); quite exposed now but could still have some part to play. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in two nurseries (both 1m, AW) for George Boughey in the autumn but failed to build upon satisfactory reappearance run (7f) when well-held fifth of six in Southwell handicap (1m, AW) in April; makes stable debut (same owners) after 138-day break and with a point to prove. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) last August before making a winning handicap debut over C&D (good) five weeks later; last seen finishing a below-form third of seven at Leicester in July, after which he left Marco Botti for 34,000gns and was gelded; mark fine and he's of interest, particularly if the market speaks positively. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 7f as a 2yo; 22-1 and looked as though the run would bring him on at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) two weeks ago; career best required all the same. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up performer who gained his second success at this track when getting up late over 7f last month (good to firm); stuck at it for fourth here ten days ago (again 7f; good to soft) and should have this run to suit on his return to 1m; strongly considered. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hold-up performer who has won two of his last four starts including when swooping late over C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he had a close call on soft ground here last autumn; respected. |
