9th 1 (10) |
19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Latest win in Italian Listed race (good; has won on heavy) last October; not yet found his feet back in Britain this year, a drop in grade not enough to help at Ffos Las in June; a recent break could have helped though and he been has dropped 14lb since May. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has never run on ground faster than good (and taken out before on account of unsuitable good ground), so conditions could be a worry; hard to place after a Listed win in Italy last autumn ruined his mark and has struggled in three runs for this yard. |
6/1 |
|
17th 9 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good ground or slower; won a 5f Listed race in Italy on his final start for a French yard; big prices and finished down the field in two 5f handicaps last month; dropped 7lb for his troubles but he arrives with a point to prove. |

3rd 3 (1) |
16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Five-time turf winner who is generally reliable and was runner-up in a big field at Nottingham (6f, good) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and he should give it another good shot. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often leads, as when beating Cairdeas and two other rivals over this C&D (good) in June; unable to reach the same level since but this is only his second course start so he might revive back here. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (12) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all when winning at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but that was a five-runner race and he's taken three backward steps since; now back on last winning mark but he's needs to raise his game and there are other front-runners in the line-up. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Had just three AW starts and one of them yielded a C&D win; 7f stretched him at Catterick last month and he's one to consider now back down into a Class 6 handicap. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
1lb lower than for his last win; never in the hunt at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month on his return from 284 days on the sidelines; stamina for 7f still to be proven. |

15th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who won twice in the spring, including a C&D handicap off 5lb lower; in and out since and although she's well drawn here, an easy lead is unlikely. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Solid form in victory and defeat this year for James Owen; left that yard for 5,000gns and he made a quiet debut for current connections in May. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
7f handicap winner in 2024 but he scored twice over 5f at Pontefract (soft) that autumn; no wins last year and he suffered heavy defeats when failing to beat a rival in two starts over 6f this term, including in today's returning cheekpieces; career-low mark. |
33/1 |
|
12th 11 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win last season and he reappeared with a heavy defeat over this trip at Redcar (last of 11) in May; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a major revival after another break; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |
|
11th 12 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win last season and absent since 17l defeat in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on AW in November; others have much less to prove. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins have been on AW and latest was at Southwell (5f) in January; 0-12 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and is well handicapped on his close second over C&D (good) last summer; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made bold bid after a short break. |
13/2 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three front-running C&D wins between last May and January; below best on last two starts but he might just have needed the recent sharpener following a break and can't be passed over too lightly. |
3/1 |
|
10th 6 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer with three C&D wins on his record, including on his penultimate start in January; not so good behind Okami five days later; has tended to come on for the run after breaks in the past. |

13th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Second of eight, beaten over 4l, on her nursery debut at Chelmsford ten weeks ago (6f); however, dropped away to finish last of 12 at Southwell on Thursday; needs to leave that behind her if turned out quickly. |
8/1 |
|
12th 6 (10) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Absent since her creditable second, albeit no match for winner, over 6f at Chelmsford (AW/handicap debut) ten weeks ago; open to progress at this level and enters calculations off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
2nd Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Trainer has been among the winners, including with a couple of 2yos, and Billy Loughnane (first ride for him) is a positive booking; starts nursery life off a basement mark and is one to consider. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
It was a fourth AW success when scoring at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday, but he knows how to get it done on turf too and his previous second of six over C&D (good to firm) was a creditable effort; has won off this mark and Billy Loughnane takes over; player. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Trainer has won with his last three runners and has a good course record with older horses (10-35); this 5yo is 3-3 round here, is fairly treated, in form and won't be hurt by going back into a bigger field as a hold-up runner; leading player. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |

31st May 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Showed some ability when trained in UK and again in two Irish maidens over slightly longer trips; looks quick enough for the minimum and could have a future in handicaps off this low a mark. |

21st May 2024 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

Won in this grade on turf in summer 2024 but is 0-26 on AW; made the frame twice off her basement handicap over C&D in the autumn and didn't run badly when seventh in this grade here last month but others look stronger. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Yet to win on AW (0-25); far from convincing since finishing fourth to Bishop's Glory over 6f here (7-1) in November; last of seven over 6f here ten days ago; clear and obvious risks. |
