6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |

11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Did well in Meydan and returned to Britain for a close fourth in the Lincoln; hasn't kicked on from there, finishing down the field in the Royal Hunt and then midfield at Chelmsford (1m2f); looks vulnerable with his big weight. |
10/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Successful in Meydan handicap (1m1f, good) during his spell in UAE and ran creditably (close fourth) in the Lincoln in March; looks interesting on that form but he's been a bit up and down this year and he struggled in the Royal Hunt Cup last time; mixed messages. |

Successful in Meydan handicap (good) during his spell in UAE and ran creditably (close fourth) in the Lincoln on last appearance; quite exposed, however, and current mark leaves him in a tough spot. |

12th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Useful on turf and has performed well in both AW starts, bolting up in a weak Newcastle novice (7f, Tapeta) as a 2yo and only beaten two necks into third of 14 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) last month; may still have more to offer and respected up 1lb. |

Veteran who has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and hasn't prevailed in this sphere since York success three years ago; midfield when the 125-1 rank outsider back here last time. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 2lb lower then when winning at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in April, but his form since then has been patchy; ran with credit in two starts on Tapeta (at Southwell) a year ago, but will need to be at the top of his game and is likely to face competition for the lead. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Mostly creditable efforts in 2025 and he won at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; Chester's extended 1m2f possibly stretched his stamina last time; could bounce back but as a 7yo he's more exposed than some of these. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-37 but his last win was at Thirsk (7f) last month and he ran another good race when a close third at Newmarket (1m) last time; now goes into unknown territory at this trip but he ran well over 1m1f in July and he's not ruled out; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has recorded seven AW wins, the last three over C&D; made the frame at Kempton in last two starts; in form and has possibilities off 2lb below last winning mark. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last three wins have been at this track over 7f and he was unlucky not to go closer here last week, having been caught in traffic up the straight before finishing strongly for third; yet to win over 1m but has to be considered. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (14) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last three wins have been over C&D, the most recent coming on his stable debut in May off a 1lb higher mark than today's; didn't get home over 8.5f at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (caught wide early) but makes appeal back over this shorter trip (all seven wins over 7f). |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came in a Salisbury maiden on his second start in 2023; has posted a couple of good efforts for this stable, including when beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time hood) in February; cheekpieces are quickly discarded after a poor run here over 1m3f latest. |

0-11 on the AW and 1-18 overall; down another 2lb and cheekpieces are given a go this time, but he still has stamina to prove over this far. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

A regular at Southwell, where he has a win and five places; had slipped in the weights before creditable efforts over 6f and 1m last two starts; today's intermediate trip should be ideal and he's high on the list. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 1-31 on AW and was well held back in this sphere at Southwell (7f) last week; cheekpieces are now added but he has work to do on this return to sprinting. |
14/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Reached the frame twice in similar races on AW under Brodie Hampson in February; well treated on those efforts but hasn't found the same form back on turf (good to firm/good) after a break, including well behind Star Start and Austrian Theory at Catterick 17 days ago; the return to softer ground could help but leap of faith needed. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Won over C&D in January and was also on target at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but was always behind at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and is far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
