2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Irish; beaten a neck by Saytaar over C&D (25-1; from 5lb higher, on stable debut) in March; form has nosedived since June, weakening quickly in an added visor (now discarded) at Redcar latest; return of Conor Whiteley is a plus. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; started off for current stable with two good runs over 1m in the spring but has suffered a worrying slump in form since and needs to be perked up by the addition of a visor. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two 1m wins at Carlisle (good) this summer, including under Conor Whiteley; another good run over that C&D when third in August but stopped quickly back there last time. |
4/1 |
|
9th 5 (7) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins on good ground this summer and he ran right up to his best when third of nine here three weeks ago (good to soft); a 3lb higher mark has kicked in now but he still seems likely to run well. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Modest strike rate of 2-27 but generally consistent; landed her first win on turf at Ripon (1m, good) in June and looks sure to run her race; holds place claims. |
7/1 |
|
9th 2 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in June and has continued in good form, drawn wide when third of 15 in 1m Thirsk handicap 18 days ago; that form is working out well so she merits serious consideration off a 1lb lower mark. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Fine on soft and good ground; won by 6l at Ffos Las last month (7.5f, good) but a well-held third under a penalty at Haydock (7f, heavy) and now 6lb higher; has won at 6f but perhaps needs further now. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when coming well clear at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last Friday; 5lb penalty still leaves her 7lb well in and she went back-to-back under a penalty around this time last year; might take some stopping. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
AW regular whose only turf run since 2023 was over hurdles; gave good account when midfield in valuable Lingfield handicap (1m4f) on Good Friday but doesn't look the percentage call on first start for 169 days. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still 5lb above his last winning mark and all five wins have come over 1m on the AW, including two here; hard to recommend over this trip. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sole success in last two seasons came at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; possibly unsuited by soft ground when fading into fifth of eight at Ayr two weeks ago; ran well the time before and may rebound. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won an apprentice race at Musselburgh (1m, good) in June; back to form when second at Carlisle (1m1f) where he came from the clouds off a fast pace (Sanafi Zabeel was third having been eased); that perhaps flattered him but considered nonetheless; has won on good to soft. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Mr Reliable over C&D, winning two of five starts (good, acts on soft), the latest from the front in June, and placed in the other three; well held behind Black Storm at Catterick last month but of interest back here. |
6/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Once useful but went into the doldrums for a while; back on it now though after back-to-back wins at Ffos Las, winning by 12l and then following up under a penalty when 5lb well in; that was by a shade over 2l but cosily; new mark has kicked in. |
5/2 |

1st 5 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Very useful over middle distances in his prime; had been in the doldrums for a good while but, having plummeted down the weights, breezed clear to win comfortably by 12l here (1m, good) nine days ago; 9lb well in under 5lb penalty today; ought to be hard to beat. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-9 since joining this yard but his last two runs have been much more encouraging; led his group home when third of 13 over C&D last month; thrown in on the pick of his 3yo form and could be ready to strike. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
It's now 15 runs since his last victory, but he posted a very good second of 16 (in change of headgear) in 1m Chepstow handicap 15 days ago; a player off the same mark with visor retained. |
