8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a long losing run at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in April and he's held his form back on turf since, including a close call at Salisbury (6f, soft) and a 2l sixth in a big field at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; still looks on a workable mark and he could be a big factor back on AW. |

Arrives in top form after a 7f win at Kempton and two second places over 6f; hard to knock and should be thereabouts. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful for previous yards; ran respectably on debut for current stable but has regressed at Southwell in two subsequent starts; hence a turnaround is required. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Left Michael Herrington for 12,000gns; bang there on yard debut over 7f at Newcastle and should be in the mix once more. |

3rd 6 (9) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual 7f winner in the spring who was picked up from Michael Herrington for 12,000gns a couple of months ago; have to go a long way back for the last time he won off a mark this high, while all victories have come after a recent start. |

18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not much luck round Chester since switched to blinkers, being drawn wide in June and then having his jockey lose an iron soon after the start last time; is 3lb lower than when winning a Polytrack nursery last October; one to consider. |
5/1 |

5th 11 (1) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lingfield nursery winner (7f AW) last October; hasn't progressed this year, with newly applied blinkers seemingly not yielding initial improvement over 6f here (good; sixth of 12) last month; 2lb lower, and much better drawn on this occasion, so can potentially sit handier; possibilities. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (12) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Caused a 40-1 surprise when scoring at Lingfield (7f, AW) last October but he's not gone on from that and has been beaten 7l on Tapeta and turf in last two runs; continues to edge down the weights but he needs new headgear to make a difference back at this trip. |

15th Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth in two of his four starts last year including on nursery debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded), but a well-beaten last of eight on his Wolverhampton return (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; blinkers replace cheekpieces, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice over 6f at Doncaster this summer, the second win coming off a 1lb higher mark; struggled on his last four starts and a full revival is required. |
20/1 |

14th 4 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps here in early summer; well below form elsewhere on all three runs since, only 17th at York and Thirsk on last two outings, but the return to Doncaster ensures he retains some interest on this first 5f venture since reappearance. |
33/1 |

17th 6 (16) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Landed a pair of 6f handicaps at Doncaster in early summer but he's been well below par both runs since, only 17th in 6f York handicap last time; lots more is needed. |

0-10 since debut win over 7.4f in June 2023; only eighth of 13 here (7f) last month and now runs in a sprint for the first time; David Allan jumps ship; others preferred. |

0-9 and unable to threaten in the main since debut win in June 2023; however, off this reduced mark she dead-heated with Dandy Lichious for second of 14 on recent reappearance at Catterick (7f, good; albeit no match for winner) and she's on the shortlist. |

On the go since June of last year; two wins in 2026, over 6f at Dundalk in March and over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June and runs off last winning mark; last couple of runs not his best, however, and others arrive in better form. |

15-race maiden; coped well with the step up to this trip when a close fourth over C&D last week; that wasn't a searching examination of her stamina but this might not be either and she's one to consider. |
