8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Prolific winner at around this trip, latest in Gowran claimer nearly a year ago; 0-9 for current yard but Down Royal second to Faoladh puts him in the mix on ground he'll handle. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground, including at Roscommon off 80; bounced back to form with encouraging third at same track last month before backing that up under positive ride at Down Royal 13 days ago when 1.5l second to Faoladh; definitely capable off this mark but soft ground a concern. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fast-improving 3yo who has won four times in a row, the last twice over C&D; moves up in grade today but was nicely in command in the closing stages here three weeks ago and it's very hard to tell when his progress with level off. |
6/4 |

1st 1 (1) |
6th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Looked unlucky when third in Wolverhampton classified contest last month and so it proved, he's 3-3 since; allocated 6lb penalty for beating Al Tarfa with good bit in hand over C&D last week but is actually just 2lb higher; tough to beat. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner in 2024 but three subsequent visits have not gone nearly so well; none too consistent but two of his last four AW runs, including in January latest, give him a shout if he's ready following the absence; he's twice been runner-up after longer layoffs. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |
11/2 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Runner-up twice over 1m before last month's narrow 7f turf win here, and gave another good account when fifth at Newbury (7f) on latest outing; will be fine back on Polytrack and is evidently in good nick but may find others better handicapped here. |
14/1 |

5th 7 (6) |
29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Had suggested he was on the way back when twice runner-up over 1m last month and with cheekpieces removed he just got up to win at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago; 3lb higher, but this more galloping track is in his favour and he shouldn't be far away. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Big prices and out of the frame in three starts since returning in April, albeit he met trouble when finishing in midfield in the Carlisle Bell (7.7f, soft) last month; 4lb lower than for the latest of two wins in April last year; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
13 (12) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins last April (1m, AW/soft) and he's 1lb lower than when last successful; the return to slow turf could also be a plus; however, he's failed to shine on either outing this season and has something to prove. |
25/1 |

9th 9 (12) |
11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
7yo who has an impressive 8-28 strike-rate and is effective on Tapeta; he may have needed his comeback run at Newmarket last month but was beaten a long way at 66-1, and he was also below par last May/July on his final two outings last season; plenty to prove. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Convincing win on AW fifteen months ago and might have been involved but for clipping heels at Salisbury (also 1m, good to firm) in June; heavy defeat over latter C&D when back from a break last time, though. |
16/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Only 2lb higher than for 1m AW win last June, since which he's been lightly raced and below form; he might have thrown down a challenge over C&D last time, however, but for clipping heels and nearly falling; needs a close look. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent since beginning this year with two 1m Polytrack wins (one here) and lost out only narrowly after enduring a wide trip at Kempton three weeks ago; has to take a 3lb rise on the chin but probably won't be far away. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Some creditable efforts on turf this summer prior to backward steps the last twice; has form figures of 211 in 1m handicaps on Polytrack and looks interesting back in this scenario. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap. |

Led close home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and has held her form well since (7f-9.4f); should be fine back on turf but current mark demands a career-best performance on this first attempt at 1m4f. |

Ground it out to make it tenth-time lucky at Salisbury (1m, good) 15 days ago; now 4lb higher and will need to improve again if he is to get the better of a couple of these; stable won this in 2017 and 2020. |

Prominent-racer who was unlucky not to have won outright at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in June but he was tailed off there in next two runs; still unexposed on turf but he's hard to predict and needs a major revival back in this sphere. |

Made all to open account at Leicester in May and comes here after good second at Windsor (also 1m, good to firm) this month; also suited by Polytrack and ought to give this a good shot. |

4th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in a Leicester handicap (1m, good to firm) in May and was a creditable third at Sandown the following month; had an excuse back at 7f on soft ground last time but she looks fairly exposed now after seven starts and others are more persuasive. |

Habitual slow starter; made a flying start to life with this yard in the summer, winning handicaps at Lingfield (1m, AW), Chepstow (1m2f) and Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); not so good the last twice but those runs were on slow ground; return to AW in his favour but still to convince he needs this far. |
