23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Should be well handicapped but his two runs for his current stable have resulted in heavy defeats; cheekpieces tried for a second time (well beaten on the occasion they were tried). |
10/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time turf winner who posted two AW wins in autumn 2024 off higher marks than today's; lightly raced since, however, with patchy form, and others have more obvious claims. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-time winner when trained by Rae Guest and posted respectable efforts on the AW over 1m2f in two of his three outings for Edward Smyth-Osbourne; has been off since January and drops back in trip on his first start for this yard. |

25th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has gained both wins (AW/turf) at about 1m but recent effort suggest she's ready for a crack at 1m2f; drops back in grade off a workable mark and has a fighting chance on best form. |

1st Oct 2023 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Similar type to Overnight Oats, having gone down by only half a length in C&D contest (good) on latest outing; raced mainly in Class 5 and now goes back up in grade but having Epsom form is a major plus; likely to perform well again; one for the shortlist. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Dual course winner (1m2f; last win October 2024); has beaten just a single rival in his last three appearances (1m2f-12.5f) and, while he has eased 11lb over that period (and is claimer ridden), it's tough to form an argument. |
40/1 |

12th 10 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice for David O'Meara on Newcastle AW (1m2f) in 2024 but 0-12 on turf; out of sorts last year, and has failed to beat a rival in last two appearances, at Newcastle and Redcar; mark is in freefall but plenty to prove. |
66/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner over 1m2f at Newcastle in 2024 but winless since; close-up fourth there at a big price in March but has struggled in three starts since, all at Newcastle; returns to turf with a bit to prove. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Winless since 2022 and he came in last of 15 in 7f handicap here two weeks ago; he needs this longer trip to spark a resurgence. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Tumbled down the weights last year and there have been no signs of an imminent revival in three runs back; can't be recommended. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Suddenly bounced back to form when heavily punted at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) in May, but recent efforts have been underwhelming and this drop back in trip may not be ideal; considered only if the subject of another big market move. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returned to form in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained since) and justified strong market support at Bangor (2m4f, good) in March; mixed form since, however, and only fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month following a break and wind surgery; needs to raise his game and is unproven at the trip. |
12/1 |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Back today from a second wind operation and it took him a while to find his form after the first; only four ran when third in his latest race and he does look on a stiff mark, 10lb higher than for the easy Bangor win in March. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course regular who has dropped 1lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) in April; far from disgraced when fourth of 12 back here (good) last month; has form on a soft surface; shortlisted. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dominated from the front over C&D (good) off today's mark for Stan Moore in April but not quite in that same form on any of three starts for current stable; others have more pressing claims. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner (same race in April the past two seasons), both under aggressive rides; again didn't look to see out 1m2f last time but he'd lost his way prior to that anyway. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

Ran well from a wide draw to finish third in a 1m Lingfield maiden (AW) won by a now BHA 84-rated horse; absent since January but could quite easily be on a handy mark. |
