16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 2-27 on turf, his last win coming at Beverley in September 2023 (1m, good); has run a few fair races since wind surgery in September last year; others look stronger. |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3-38 under rules and stuck on a losing run; was third over 1m at Beverley five days ago but he pulled himself into a clear lead; risky from a win perspective. |

3rd 9 (2) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dry since a C&D win two years ago and has been turned over as favourite no fewer than seven times in the interim, latterly behind Sunny Orange ten days ago; that race didn't pan out his way from a wide stall but there can only be so many excuses. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a losing run but he has dropped to a basement mark and he was running on well when fourth behind the front-running Aspire To Glory over C&D 15 days ago; drawn widest this time and may find one or two stronger. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

4th 6 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Never really got competitive at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) three weeks ago and remains without a win this season but went close off 3lb higher at Chepstow (7f, good) in June and 1m also suits; worth a glance in the betting. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in June 2024 (good to firm) and 7f Musselburgh winner last August; has not been in the best of form this season, but 4lb lower than last winning mark. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D scorer; made an encouraging return with sixth at Catterick (7f) in May but beat one in 7f Redcar handicap since; needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |

10th 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has won three of his 34 races on turf, the latest off this mark at Musselburgh last August (7f, good); should come on for his reappearance run and a possible. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Handicapped to the hilt since winning three fast-ground handicaps during early summer but she continues to run well and again gave it her all last week at Bath (1m, good); solid chance once more, though ground softer than good to soft would spell danger. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Paid the price with the handicapper for three fast-ground wins in early summer but has generally done well since and ran another honest race last time at Ripon (1m, good); hard to knock. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
5th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Went up 10lb for three fast-ground wins in early summer and has generally run well off her revised mark since, usually from the front; fair chance she's able to get her own way, in which case she'll be dangerous, with the drying weather in her favour. |

4th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has three wins and three seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D but has been banging his head against the wall off this sort of mark for a good while now; was below market expectations here last time and this is stronger. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
9th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Took a shine to this place during the winter, winning three times over C&D, and was seemingly back in peak form when close second at Ripon (1m, good) 11 days ago; commands respect on return to Kempton. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
29th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
His four wins have all come on Polytrack, never off a mark this high, and he is still to finish placed after ten runs on turf; has done most racing over 7f and doesn't arrive in any form, so has a good bit to overcome. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last three wins have been over 7f and latest was in December 2024; well handicapped on old form but he finished in rear in his final two runs in the spring and looks opposable back from four months off. |
10/1 |

10th 13 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Winless since 2024 and winless in sprints since 2023; said to have hung left when well beaten on his return to turf seven weeks ago and only holds outside claims. |
33/1 |

13th 14 (14) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Hindered by traffic issues last time (AW); the 9yo hasn't won since 2024 but is nicely weighted, especially if Lewis Chalkley's 7lb claim is taken into account. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |
25/1 |
|
7 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

6th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish filly who is far from solid on her form since racing in Britain; however, continues to drop in weights and may do better off current mark; market support would be worth heeding. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (1) |
6th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish filly; well beaten in two runs for David O'Meara in June but her stable debut at Kempton last month was promising; not quite so good over 7f here 13 days ago but she's well drawn back at 6f and has dropped a long way in the weights. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (6) |
24th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish filly; well beaten in two runs for David O'Meara this summer but she fared better on her stable debut at Kempton (6f) a fortnight ago; could have a bigger run in her back up in trip. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off 2lb higher (8.4f, good to firm) in April; some creditable efforts across his 14 starts since and his racing too freely offers some excuse for a below-par run over 1m2f at Beverley 16 days ago; yard has had lots of winners in the last fortnight. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when sixth of 19 at Redcar last week; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's in the mix. |
15/2 |

6th 11 (9) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when third at Ripon on his penultimate run; one of two runners for that yard and he could be dangerous. |
