2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
15/8 |

2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |

Went close in 7f nursery here in 2023 but became disappointed last year; well beaten on her last two appearances (7f/1m) and it's questionable whether this return to sprinting will revive her fortunes. |

Didn't really enjoy the run of the race when respectable fifth on nursery debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm; just behind Mist Of Lir) in July but was below that form over 6f in blinkers (now removed) last time. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five of his wins have come at Newcastle; it has been a long time since the last of them but a second wind op seemed to do the trick earlier in the year, finishing second at Chelmsford and over C&D; absent since March but he has to be taken seriously off his lowly mark. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that. |

30th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

12-race maiden; has shown more than enough ability to suggest he can win a race off his basement but his last two runs were below par and he needs to up his game. |
8/1 |

8th 11 (8) |
18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
In the frame on three occasions on turf/Tapeta, but now 0-11 and vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

5th 6 (6) |
11th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ten-race maiden but he ran well for a long way at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last time and was beaten only 2l; this drop back in trip looks a good move and he could make a bold bid back on turf; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

His only win since 2023 came in a classified at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January; has made the frame in four of his last five starts and holds place claims. |
10/1 |

4th 7 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ended long losing spell when holding on by a nose in C&D classified in January and has made the frame here (1m, AW/1m1f, turf) on his last two appearances; likely contender. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Will be happier back up from 1m after a better effort on the AW here three weeks ago; more than capable off this mark but has only won one of his last 32 starts, with plenty of short-priced defeats to his name during that time. |

8st 13lb |
Well beaten when 66-1 for nursery debut at Ffos Las (6f, soft) in late July; sports first-time cheekpieces here and today's trip-and-surface combination may show him in a better light, but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |

1st Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level. |

0-10 and she's been some way below form in AW handicaps in her last three starts; 1m seemed to stretch her at Southwell last time but mark has bottomed out now and others are preferred; cheekpieces back on. |
