23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner for Harry Charlton in 2024; not so good in that sphere for his current yard and came in last of six in 1m6f Newmarket handicap 15 days ago; hurdle debut. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024; suffered heavy defeats on first three starts back from an absence for new yard and latest second of three at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in this headgear combination was no big step back in the right direction as he was beaten 8l. |

2nd 3 (2) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won five in a row at around 1m4f on turf/AW for the Charltons between September 2023 and July 2024, but has suffered heavy defeats in all three starts since returning for this yard in May; new headgear combination will need to make a big difference. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Peak efforts on AW but he won on good to firm last May and did so again when he first tried cheekpieces in eight-runner race at Ascot (1m4f; by a neck, led over 2f out) five weeks ago; back up 3lb but in the mix in small field. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Better on AW but he did win on good to firm last May; placed in two of his AW starts last winter but tailed off in a hot 2m race at Easter (hooded) and well beaten when returned to turf at Salisbury in May; now tries cheekpieces and a lower turf mark is largely negated by being 4lb out of the handicap. |

Two wins from 24 starts; heavy defeats in four of seven races this term but also now placed in three of his last four; more to prove on soft or heavy. |

30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two of her five AW wins have been here; recent efforts haven't been her best but her mark has eased; hard to rule out. |

14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Five AW wins elsewhere, two in the spring, but has C&D form; holding her form and this is a lower grade than at Newcastle 18 days ago but she probably needs a bit extra off her current mark. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again. |
10/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number 11 when coming clear at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) on his debut for Tony Carroll; effective on faster ground and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he's turned a corner. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Three-time flat winner showed a little bit more over timber at Tramore (16.5f, good) last time but was still beaten 7.5l into eighth; down 2lb but needs to improve again to be competitive here. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 1lb |
Three-time Flat winner (twice in France, once in Britain) at up to 1m4f; has shown little over hurdles, but can be forgiven his recent run at Cork, failed to recover after being badly hampered four out; may do better. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two Lingfield AW wins (1m4f) for Mick Channon in 2021 and he also nabbed a handicap hurdle for Ben Pauling in 2023; some fair runs without winning for this yard but he has not been at his best since returning from a 406-day absence this season; career-low mark and he lost a shoe last time so worth a market check. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Two Lingfield AW wins (1m4f) and a handicap hurdle win (2m4f) for Ben Pauling; some fair runs without winning for this yard but not at his best after 406-day absence this season. |
25/1 |

7th 5 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well handicapped on old form but hasn't won on the Flat since 2021 and, following a 406-day absence, he finished last in recent 1m3f Hamilton race won by Annandale; has too much to prove. |
