Won over hurdles and on the Flat (12.5f) at Limerick last year; ran well over timber at Sligo last month, but poor effort back on the Flat at Naas leaves him with questions to answer. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Won over hurdles and on the Flat (12.5f) at Limerick last year; ran well over timber at Sligo on his penultimate start in a claimer but heavy defeat back on the Flat at Tramore (2m) on latest; well handicapped but needs to rebound back in trip. |

Was in better form last year when winning at Limerick over hurdles and on the Flat (1m5f, good, rated 73); largely struggled in both codes since, although ran to his mark at Killarney last month when sixth (1m4f, good); took second in a Sligo claiming hurdle last time when well treated; others make more appeal. |

Won five in the early months of last year, including over C&D; often pulls hard and it's been costing him this summer but this is easier than he's used to, so no shock to see him bounce back. |

Nine wins on the AW including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in February and makes the shortlist; jockey having her first ride under rules. |

Below best in C&D events the last twice, taking record for current yard to 0-11; however, the race wasn't run to suit him last time; possibilities off current mark if this pans out better. |

25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Lingfield novice winner (1m, AW) for Michael Scudamore in November 2022 and placed in three of his first four handicaps at up to 1m4f, but he only beat one home on stable debut after a year off at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; will need to improve plenty on that in the first-time tongue-tie. |
25/1 |
|
8th 3 (2) |
5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6yo with a record of 1-10; had only three runs last year but he finished placed in two of them including a third at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) in June; returns for new yard after a year off but this drop back in trip should be fine and he needs watching in market. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
2nd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Competitive in 1m2f/1m3f Polytrack handicaps this winter after winning his novice; four months off before fair sixth of 14 in handicap at Bath (1m2f, good to soft) 18 days ago and might have come on since that run; not ruled out back up in trip. |

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. |
3/1 |

12/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Needs a revival but fast ground wasn't ideal on his comeback run and seven career wins include this race 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; rarely looks straightforward but remains capable of winning races. |

9st 3lb |
Veteran who's had ten wins overall and has a 3-22 record at Windsor, which also includes five seconds; he's not sparked this season but the best of those performances was a C&D third on reappearance and he's now 8lb lower, racing off a career-low mark. |

1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

10yo who is a ten-time winner, but he's not posed a threat in four runs this season and was beaten 8l at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) last time; mark continues to fall but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Not at best on the Flat the last twice, but her previous effort over hurdles at Bangor (2m, good) in September was encouraging, given she made a costly late error; unexposed in this discipline after just the five runs and not out of this. |

Record of 2-42 and her last win was in March 2023; didn't fire as favourite when back on the Flat here (1m3f) last month but that race wasn't run to suit and she looks interesting on some placed efforts on Polytrack (1m4f) in the spring; not ruled out off dangerous mark. |

Well held at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time, but finished first and second over 1m here in his two starts prior to that; the win came on soft ground, but he is now 5lb higher so will need to find a bit extra. |

2nd 7 (5) |

First six wins came on the AW, but he gained his first success on turf in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (soft) under Zoe Lewis (who knows him well) last month; drops to this level for the first time, but fast ground is a big question mark. |
