30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
In-form 5yo who was beaten only 1l when fifth at York (good to firm) in July before solid third at Carlisle (good to soft) the following month; narrowly denied when second of 14 at Newmarket (again 7f, good) 11 days ago and he's a leading candidate back down in grade. |

2nd 12 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gained his first handicap success on turf when landing big-field event at York (7f, good) in May; last two efforts have been creditable and he's just 1lb above that winning mark; player. |

3rd 11 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual winner since a visor was added in February and he ran another good race when a close fifth of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) last month; 1lb lower here and he should be in the thick of things again. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Punished for his win in a weak C&D maiden last November and the handicapper has been in command this year; more realistically treated again now but this won't be an easy race in which to try and dominate. |
16/1 |

9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Limited impact in handicaps since winning a four-runner C&D maiden in November and he let his many supporters down when flopping on return visit here last time; continues to fall down the weights so interesting to see if his backers return. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4yo who is 0-8; beat only one rival home at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June and dropped away inside the final furlong there over 5f last time following a wind operation/three weeks off; back on turf having been dropped another 3lb. |
10/1 |

5 (3) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo (0-7) who only beat one home on her return from six months off here (6f) in June; off another three months having undergone wind surgery and it needs to have made a difference. |
16/1 |
|
2 (9) |
16th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
0-6 and has mixed record, but she's well treated on her stand-out effort for Tim Easterby and wasn't disgraced in a Southwell maiden (5f) when last seen in December; now goes handicapping on her return and needs watching in market back up in trip. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Some good efforts in defeat in 7f turf handicaps last summer but successfully returned to sprints this year, winning at Bath (5f, good) and 6f (good to firm) on this track; perhaps good to soft ground counted against her last time but needs more off her current mark back at 7f. |
16/1 |

12th 3 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can be slowly away but not last time when a cosy winner at Brighton (6f, good to firm); up 4lb but has competitive form off this sort of mark. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Generally in good form since cheekpieces went on but she's been costing herself with slow starts lately; won't mind coming back up from 5f and much will hinge on how she gets on at the stalls. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Did not get competitive on first two outings this season (5.7f/7.3f; hooded) and is now 0-14 but has run well on soft ground before (unraced on heavy) and might be perked up by a changed of headgear. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
13-race maiden who was below form in five runs last year and showed little on his return at Bath in June; his mark continues to drop but is best watched until showing positive signs. |

6th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced mare; well held in similar race at Wolverhampton on handicap debut in January (14-1) but she'd been off for 237 days; potential improver; tongue-tie added. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 (2) |
28th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Debut second (6f, soft; last April) not the easiest piece of form to assess and she failed to build on it in two subsequent runs; makes her handicap debut at a low level but the 237-day absence is offputting. |

5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up on debut at Southwell (6f, AW) last April and creditable fourth of six in warm novice at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) the following month; absent since but trainer's horses can go well fresh and he's one to consider in a first-time tongue-tie. |
12/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
7th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Out of a fair 7f winner; raced too freely and showed his inexperience on last month's debut at Southwell (6f, AW) but still ran on well to chase home the short-odds winner; needs to build on that performance here but has obvious potential. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark; arrived on the back of a recent win on that occasion whereas today he has been off since a modest turf run 113 days ago; hooded for the first time today. |
14/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 6f here last autumn (soft) and also shaped well when fourth over C&D in May (good); not at his best over 5f on AW last time; could go well back up in trip. |
14/1 |

9th 1 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only run over 5f once, when well held over C&D two years ago, and has done most recent racing over 7f; resumed in decent form and this is easier if anything but the drop back in trip from the outside stall would have to be a worry; headgear returns. |

30,000gns foal; dam a 5f winner (RPR 81) from productive family; high standard to aim at on debut though. |
