5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
On a competitive mark on his AW form for James Tate; yet to show as much on turf, including on stable debut at Chester (6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; stamina not assured either. |
20/1 |

Won four times on AW for James Tate; good second at Southwell (6f) when last seen in April; sold for 13,000gns later that month; switching to turf is the obvious concern as he has been unplaceed in three previous runs on grass. |

9st 1lb |
Twice placed off 2lb higher both here (7f) and at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) earlier in year; modest in two starts after returning last month, though, and has never attempted this far before. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |

Campaigned mostly on AW but ran well (close fifth off 4lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago and that form puts her in the picture; possibly needed latest run (back from a break). |

C&D win in January; doubled his haul with a wide-margin success at Wolverhampton (5f) in July but he has struggled since; this is weaker though and Oisin Murphy is booked. |

31st Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unproven on turf and merely sixth at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last time; however, six days earlier he won in good style there on his first crack at 5f, and his latest run may have come too soon; retains potential. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just two wins (both on soft ground) from his 29 starts but he returned from a break with a close third of six at Ffos Las (5f, good) last Friday, and he could be in the mix off the same, career-low mark. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a bit better last time at Bath (good) in June and both his wins have come over 5f on soft ground, so conditions might well turn in his favour with rain around; fairly treated. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

C&D scorer but he's yet to fire in a pair of handicaps over C&D and at Chepstow this season; others appeal more. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form across his four starts this year, scoring twice (5.5f/5f) and being placed on the other two occasions, latterly when third back at Beverley (not clear run) one month ago; all those runs came on good to firm so he probably doesn't want too much of the forecast rain; otherwise hard to knock. |
13/2 |

3rd 8 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three sound runs this term, winning his last two, at Wetherby in June (5.5f, good to firm) and over C&D two weeks ago (good to firm); this looks a stronger race, but he could go well again. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (8) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Has run two good races this season, last time getting off the mark on turf at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Sole success in 29 starts came in a handicap over C&D a year ago, but he has been running with credit in similar company here lately and is likely to go well again. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor strike-rate but he performed with credit in two classified events here (1m, AW and 7f, good to firm) for this yard last month; should give his running again but not obviously crying out for the drop to 6f. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (7) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a handicap (7f) for Michael Attwater last August and it was a solid start for this yard when neck second in 1m classified (again here on AW) last Monday; yet to produce his best on quick turf but Billy Loughnane retains the ride; respected. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins have been on AW and latest was at Chelmsford (6f) in January; now 4lb lower than for that success but he's been tailed off in last two runs (turf/Tapeta) and needs a major revival. |
10/1 |
|
13th 7 (8) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Better on AW than turf and wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Ascot run (reportedly unsuited by the fast ground); 2lb lower than for his Chelmsford win in January (6f); not discounted. |
16/1 |
|
12 (5) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Won three times on AW over the winter and now back to the last winning mark; more to prove on turf though and others have greater potential. |

Two sprint wins this year, including C&D, and she's now 1lb lower than for the second of them; needs to bounce back from two lesser runs though. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Just did enough to win on soft ground at Windsor in April but his form has slumped since, and he was particularly disappointing when tried in blinkers (now removed) this month; arrives here with a point to prove. |

C&D winner for Nigel Tinkler in November; off the mark on turf with a game effort at Windsor last month (Class 5; 6f, soft); slowly away and below par at Bath last week, but he's better than that and looks set to go well with Rossa Ryan back in the saddle. |

Wouldn't judge him harshly on his two turf defeats this summer but even his best AW form needs bettering if he is to come out on top here. |
20/1 |
|
21th 8 (19) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Took a step forward on the AW earlier in the year, at 7f and 6f, but he didn't make his turf debut until never involved in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; comes from a line of superb turf sprinters but this is a difficult first handicap on grass, to put it mildly. |
66/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
In good form on the AW this year, winning a handicap at Lingfield (7f) in February and running creditably when fourth in similar event at Newcastle (6f) on Good Friday; has shown he's up to Listed level but this is still a warm race in which to be making his debut on grass. |
