29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
He's dropped to a favourable mark and there is every chance that he will exploit it at some point, but he was a soundly beaten fourth of eight behind Belsito at Hamilton (6f, soft) eight days ago and has work to do here. |
12/1 |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Encouraging return to turf when never-nearer close fourth at Ripon (6f, good to soft; has won on soft) in April and he wasn't far away in a big field back there in August; on a favourable mark now; not far away. |
8/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on this year's best, including a close fourth over C&D in April; has had the odd excuse since and he ran perfectly well over an inadequate 5f at York three weeks ago (not well drawn); a big run could be on the cards. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 0-5 this term for new yard but has been working her way into form, including over C&D; not dismissed off current mark. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Caught the eye dropped to a 0-70 for the first time at Kempton (6f) four weeks ago, beaten only just over 2l despite being repeatedly denied a clear run; the return to 7f should help if anything and Patrick Chamings is among the winners so there are reasons to be hopeful. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

She has slipped down the weights and there was more encouragement to be gleaned from her Goodwood fifth last month (7f, soft); drops in class today and Jim Crowley is booked; interesting. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with a bang when a well-backed winner in first-time blinkers (retained since) in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last month; unplaced at Ripon (6f, good) eight days later but back on song when second at Ayr (6f, heavy) last week; well worth another crack at 5f; high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Winner of the last two runnings of this; back to form with a bang in first-time blinkers (retained) when landing the Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f) one week ago; back up 5lb but he holds major claims off the same mark as when scoring here 12 months ago. |
7/2 |
|
13th 16 (19) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Ripon (6f) in September but yet to hit top form in four runs this season, beating only one back there (6f) 13 days ago; mark is plummeting but he still needs to take a step forward. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Capitalised on a career-low mark when back on slow ground at Leicester (6f, good to soft) on Tuesday; his three previous wins had come on soft ground; he's back down to 5f today but had just over 3l to spare in that big field at Leicester last time and a 5lb penalty may well not be enough to stop him. |
5/2 |

1st 12 (5) |
13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
5f-6f winner, all on soft ground; it's two years since his last win but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he's not written off now the ground is a little slower. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His last win was almost two years ago but he's on a reduced mark and was beaten less than 2l when third at Kempton (6f, AW) two weeks ago; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |

He has been threatening in recent starts but he moves back up in class today and has the widest stall to overcome. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

6f places off this mark on his last three outings, but 2-25 overall (below form on sole start here) and there's been no win since 2024. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Without a win since 2024 but posted his best effort of the season when third of 13 in 6f handicap at Hamilton six days ago; must enter calculations off the same mark. |

Won two in a row in the spring (soft/good to soft) and returned to form when second at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month; however, she was soundly beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently and has to bounce back. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on this track as 2yo; winless since that season but he's shown enough to think he can be placed to advantage off a reduced mark; had a troubled start to the season at Beverley but it's too soon to write him off; hood refitted with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not a prolific winner; rather disappointing for this yard in a light campaign last season, best run when third at Haydock in September (5f, good; hood on for first time); no hood this time; on a good mark and could go well. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won just two of his 36 starts and the second of them was way back in May 2024; he has run some solid races this season, including C&D, but he is prone to fluffing the start and that won't make life easy from stall 3. |
10/1 |
|
13th 15 (20) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
On a long losing sequence but is in form, having made the frame in four of his last six races, and remains attractively treated on historical data; return to winning ways is not out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Extended losing run to 26 when finishing in midfield at Chester in July (again slowly away); has the ability to win off this mark but he is not a solid option. |
