Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

On a career-low mark for a yard that doesn't send many here and he is worth tracking in the market; seems on the downgrade, though, and he hasn't run at beyond 5f since 2023; others make more obvious appeal. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Much better than this level in his prime; slow to come to hand back from a 615-day absence but his latest fourth (behind Invincible Crown) provided some evidence that he retains ability, weakening late having raced on the outside of the field; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but could be primed for something bigger. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Quite useful in his prime; safely held all four starts since returning from long absence this year but looked unlucky not to finish closer to the target over C&D 16 days ago and continues to slide down the weights; worth a second look. |

Her form has gone the wrong way but she's dropped down the weights accordingly and ran well when second at Musselburgh (5f, good) two starts ago; a wide draw excuses her lesser latest effort at Pontefract; has won on soft/good to soft, and in these reapplied cheekpieces, and she's not ruled out. |

10yo who is without a win on turf since June 2021; it's possible he doesn't want soft/heavy ground nowadays; however, having dropped down the weights he's run well to make the frame on grass the last twice and might not be far away if handling conditions. |
