9st 9lb |
Dual Newmarket winner, a 1m2f maiden and 1m4f handicap (off 3lb lower); has been a bit all or nothing but returns as a 4yo now gelded and remains in his top yard; ran well on his previous AW start; dangerous. |

9st 10lb |
Triple winner at up to 1m6f, all on a sound surface; stepped up on two early-season efforts when scoring at Newmarket last month; went up 3lb for that and was beaten over 8l at Hamilton (1m5f, good) latest; more needed. |

Three 1m4f wins on the Flat for Ed Walker; made a winning debut for Tim Vaughan over hurdles last summer but two subsequent runs (wind op before latest) haven't been so good; not sure what to expect back on the Flat. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play. |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Useful Flat racer who was creditable second of 14 at Cork (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut for Joseph O'Brien in November; became rather disappointing for that stable afterwards and was sold for 10,000gns in March but makes debut for Tim Vaughan in a modest race. |

Good ground saw his worst performance (second start) and he's unraced on firmer; won 1m2f novice at Newcastle (AW) in June and close fourth of six on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f) 12 days ago; respected on that form and he shaped as if he'd stay 1m6f. |

9st 13lb |
Veteran whose last win was in August 2021; second off a career-low mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW; second run since wind surgery) on penultimate start but he's lightly raced on turf these days and has not made a significant impact in this sphere for a long time. |

1-12 on turf; returned to form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in September then went back-to-back at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on next two starts; slowly run series final didn't work out next time; not discounted on this comeback. |

Inconsistent but snapped losing sequence when winning at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; below form next two starts but close to career best when second at Doncaster (also 1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; has run well here before and in calculations from the same mark (2lb well in). |

9yo who was down the field at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time but was running consistently well prior to that; this C&D winner has an each-way chance if bouncing back. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |

Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away. |

9st 13lb |
6yo with only 13 races behind him and ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion; 1lb lower than that day but he does need to rebound from a desperate comeback run at Pontefract. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion, and soft ground there may not have suited when last seen; also unproven on good to soft; this lightly raced 6yo is capable of having a big say if fully tuned up and handling conditions. |
8/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Got up close home in this race on final start last term (good) and he surged back to form with another C&D win by a neck eight weeks ago (good to firm); a bit below form on his only start on softer than good (good to soft here last July); just 1lb higher than last time and, if the ground is okay, another strong finish from off the pace can't be ruled out. |

8st 10lb |
Improved with steps up in distance on his first three starts, 4-9 when he won a maiden at Catterick (good to firm) in May in a style which suggests he's a stayer; took a slight backward step, however, when making his handicap debut over 14.5f at Doncaster (good) and has been dropped just 1lb. |

His three runs were at 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f this spring and he's been improving; 4-9 when he won a maiden at Catterick (good to firm) last time, in a style which suggests he's a stayer, so further improvement should be on its way on this handicap debut. |

9st 5lb |
Took her form to a new level with a game success in Newbury Group 3 on stable/seasonal debut; not so good front-running in a four-runner Group 2 at Newmarket (also 1m4f on good) three weeks later; player if reverting to the Newbury form but her three attempts at this sort of trip (summer 2023) were not as good as that year's runs at 1m4f. |

Useful for Rae Guest; took her form to a new level with a game success in Newbury Group 3 on stable/seasonal debut, taking record to 6-21; faces a stiffer task in this grade but may rate higher still and she's the sole C&D winner in the field; very hard to dismiss. |
