3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has posted some good efforts this season but is without a win since September 2024, and finished behind Amidst The Chaos at Doncaster last time; visor returns and he has an each-way chance. |
7/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winless since 2024 but in good form this season until last of six (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Epsom handicap 16 days ago; headgear is quickly dispensed with and this course scorer is the sort to bounce back. |
5/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Without a win since 2024 but earns good marks for his consistency in recent months and lost out only by a head off today's mark at Ripon (1m2f, good) in June; probably won't be far away. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten on his last 12 starts but has run some good races in the meantime, finishing third in this last year (good) and sixth of 22 in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; could be thereabouts. |
6/1 |
|
6th 16 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Probably no ground worries; not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor last year off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before none of his three starts since panned out favourably; can be given a place chance. |
33/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before neither start since panned out favourably; only ninth in this last year on his only run at Goodwood. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |

Dual C&D winner (good/soft); returned to form with two Flat wins in April, but was soundly beaten when back over hurdles here in June and contests a much stronger race today. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has been running on the Flat, winning 1m4f/1m2f handicaps before a respectable effort in a competitive race at York; capable hurdler with winning form here and James Murray takes off a useful 7lb. |
6/1 |
|
8th 16 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race off 1lb lower 12 months ago on stable debut; a market check is advised but he was tailed off on this year's two Flat starts and pulled up on his recent hurdle debut; a major turnaround is needed. |
20/1 |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful at around 1m4f on the Flat at his best but ran as though something was amiss on both outings in the spring and it takes a leap of faith to support him on this hurdling debut; blinkers the headgear of choice today. |
6/4 |

11th 3 (6) |
11th May 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Hasn't scored under this code since his French days in 2022 but looks interesting with usual visor removed, having gained all wins (Flat/hurdles) without headgear; yard also runs High Fibre. |
13/2 |

6th 3 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up (albeit no match for winner) off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in May and didn't run badly on the Flat (1m6f) last month; could yet have a bigger effort in him over jumps but this drop back in trip may not be in his favour. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Front-runner who regularly gives his all and was beaten off only on the run-in when third to Dance And Glance over C&D (good) five weeks ago; should make another bold bid but several of these look less exposed. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who was second over C&D (good) in December and bounced back from being pulled up in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury (heavy) to make all in four-runner handicap at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); has a career-high mark in this hotter race but he did it comfortably last time; could make a bold bid. |
8/1 |

1st 2 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Poached a nice advantage but unable to hold off a progressive rival at Haydock (2m, good; in added cheekpieces) on penultimate start; pulled up in deep in a Premier Handicap at Newbury (50-1) latest; chance back in calmer waters. |

Her last win came at last season's Glorious Goodwood when the ground was heavy; she has run mostly respectably this term but having ground softer than good, preferably soft or heavy, seems vital to her chance. |

9st 12lb |
His only win was back in 2020 in a Tipperary maiden; has threatened a few times since and wasn't beaten all that far at York last time, but others appeal more for the win; tries cheekpieces. |
13/2 |

8th 5 (1) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Only win in 23 attempts was at Tipperary on second juvenile start (7f, good to yielding) when with Joseph O'Brien; some fair form since, notably when third over C&D off 4lb higher in May (good); poor run over C&D (good to soft) latest. |

13th 7 (1) |
15th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |

Acts on soft; beaten all 22 times since winning in 2020 on second start; creditable third in two of six races this season, including in 20-runner C&D race on penultimate outing; case can be made but not the percentage call. |

11yo who has won just once since 2021 but that came at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) this June; has run well several times this year, including when fourth of 13 at York (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago, and might not be far away. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

11yo now but he's had a few bright moments this season, including second of eight to Kihavah at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; his sixth of 20 in the John Smith's Cup over C&D in July shows he's still effective over shorter trips. |
20/1 |

21st Sep 2024 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |

in touch with leaders against rail, going okay 3f out, keeping on and went second over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong, no match for winner |
