5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Very hit and miss across his four starts this season and well beaten at York (2m, good) last month; however, he's posted two comfortable wins in small fields this term (1m4f/2m, good/soft) and this two-time course winner is not written off with the forecast slow ground in his favour. |
20/1 |

13th 9 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only his second attempt over this far in a 31-race career came at Goodwood (soft) ten weeks ago when he came from the rear in a six-runner race to win by 5l; 6lb higher today (with more to prove if the ground is firmer than good) but new horizons as a stayer have been opened up. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Had a 1m4f win for Mick Appleby last September and another for Henrietta Knight at Thirsk this April; however, no show in a more competitive race on latest start, has never won over further than 1m4f and, although probably stays 1m6f, his sole attempt at 2m (final start last term) was not persuasive. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Posted career-best performance when leading close home in valuable Summer Hurdle over C&D (good) in July; 6lb higher today but confirmed his wellbeing with a good Flat run last month; probably won't be far away. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (6) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Never better on Flat than when winning over C&D (soft) in June, coming from the rear with the first two finishing 6l clear; 4lb higher today but that was followed by a hurdling career best, when winning a good prize on good ground six weeks ago, so he's on a roll. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three consecutive wins over hurdles in May/June (2m-2m7f, good/good to soft) and he was running okay in that sphere last month; however, he has something to find in today's company and he didn't improve for the switch to fences when soundly beaten in January on his sole previous chase start. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came up rather short in higher grade last time; solid record (1112) in Class 4 otherwise this term, albeit has shot up the weights as a result; may be in the assessor's grip now. |
13/2 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
It took a return to selling level to regain the winning thread in May but has since gone 112 in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps; getting high in the weights (nudged up another 1lb) but he's pretty solid. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player. |
11/2 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Dual-purpose performer but his last Flat win was in December 2023; some creditable efforts off a falling mark on AW (2m) and turf (1m6f) this season but he was tailed off at Newbury last time and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

6th Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Has an all-or-nothing profile since handicapping, having scored twice (1m2f/1m4f) and been a disappointing favourite twice; could easily bounce back, provided he's suited by this new trip. |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |

Son of Le Havre who displayed a good attitude when landing 1m4f Newbury handicap 26 days ago; he appeals as the sort to do better still so merits serious consideration in first-time cheekpices. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner in UK showed a hint of ability in four hurdle runs there; fell four out on stable/seasonal debut at Clonmel; only 10/1 that day so considered for a yard that does well here. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |

Flat winner; no sign of winning potential in four maiden hurdles at 2m-2m1f but may improve for switch to a handicap on stable bow; check market. |

29th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has a record of 4-7 at this venue, mostly for Chris Wall, including wins in this race for the last two years; out of sorts for new yard this term but a revival is entirely possible off a handy mark back here; hard to leave off the shortlist. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (2) |
14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Course scorer for Chris Wall but he's yet to fire in three runs for his current yard, very slowly away when last of ten at Newmarket in June; lots more is required after a break. |
20/1 |

10th 2 (8) |
30th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Acts on good to soft; ridden by 7lb claimer Kaiya Fraser on last four outings, winning on the Rowley course at Newmarket on his last two runs of 2022 (for Chris Wall) but below form this term; has a competitive mark if surging back to his best. |

Landed another Chester win in May but behind Stressfree, Have Secret and Paddy The Squire there last month, albeit perhaps just needing the outing after 11 weeks off; acts on heavy. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner on soft and good to firm at the last two May meetings; below par at Epsom and Newcastle this summer but returns from an 11-week break only 1lb above the mark he defied in May. |
11/2 |

7th 2 (8) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Enhanced his good Chester record there in May (1m2f, good to firm); comfortably held off this mark at Epsom since but good chance he'll bounce back and Wolverhampton exploits bode well for his first visit here. |
