5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner at 7f who won the Spring Mile on turf in 2024; winless since but there were some flickers of life this summer before he faded at Chepstow 18 days ago; on a handy mark now and he might be more effective back on this track with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time |

7th 10 (9) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Better with each of his three runs for this yard and wasn't beaten far at Kempton a fortnight ago, despite hanging right; stays this far and is quite happy on Tapeta, so he's one to consider. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a poor strike-rate and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, having been absent since last October; best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
In fine form in the second half of 2025, winning five times; ran his best race this season when fourth of six at Windsor (5f, good to soft) in June but disappointed back from a short break at Ripon a fortnight ago. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
In fine form in the second half of 2025, winning five times; ran his best race this season when fourth of six at Windsor (5f, good to soft) when last seen in June; on a winning mark but slower ground would be preferable. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who needs to produce more than he's managed the last twice but before those he was a creditable fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not written off. |
14/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last month and ran well enough to think he's still in reasonable form when fifth in a higher grade than this at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
15/2 |

6th 10 (2) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last weekend which gives him a fighting chance here but he has a better overall record on that track than this one and remains on much the same mark as when well adrift of Trilby here in April. |

28th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Quirky type with a patchy record but he justified favouritism at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month and had an excuse when stepped back up to 1m2f at Brighton (took strong hold) last time; still looks feasibly treated on that penultimate form and has claims if he can bounce back again. |

9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
unseated rider in paddock, took keen hold, in rear, headway over 4f out, switched to near side over 3f out, hung left over 1f out, weakened inside final furlong |
100/30 |

1st 7 (1) |
5th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
17-race maiden who looked a difficult ride when pulling hard here (1m2f classified) last time but he wasn't beaten far in that race, and that was after an eyecatching fourth over C&D two weeks earlier; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back in trip. |

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. |
