26th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 143y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Has a patchy record but he won on his stable debut here (6f) in December and returned to form with a close second behind Sennockian at Lingfield 15 days ago; that was on his step up to 1m and he's respected off only 1lb higher here. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Hard to fault on 6f handicap form this year, as when just losing out in both the Wokingham over this C&D and the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood; the return to a bare 6f will suit after running over slightly further at Doncaster last month but this calls for more back in Group company. |
14/1 |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Came from the rear for a head second in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (head second) and very close fourth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, both 6f on good to firm; there's a bit more to be proved on this likely surface and beyond 6f but he has to be high up the list. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner in 2024; two sound runs over 1m at Hamilton in May; mixed form since, although was well beaten on turf last twice; needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Campaigned mostly at Hamilton for current stable, winning in May and creditable second to Sanafi Zabeel (runs in first division) last month; well held in last week's Leger Legends at Doncaster but it's an effort which might be worth forgiving after he pulled too hard; Hector Crouch is 1-1 for the stable this year. |
16/1 |
|
12th 8 (16) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly at Hamilton for current stable, winning in May and creditable second last time; sound effort in sole Doncaster attempt, namely 11-2 third in this contest (good to soft) 12 months ago; again has place possibilities. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-35, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December off a mark 8lb higher than today's; never featured over this trip at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and better is needed. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |

No Nay Never filly; dam, 5f/6f 2yo winner (Group 3; RPR 107), is a sister to 5f 2yo winner Mia Diva; yard can ready them, so this speedily bred newcomer rates a player, especially if the market vibes are positive. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |
16/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner and his most recent success came at Lingfield last November off a 9lb higher mark; however, he hasn't beat a rival home in each of his last two starts and needs the return to the AW to make a difference. |
50/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
6lb lower than for his Lingfield success (7f, AW) last November; should be winning soon but he will need a strong pace at this trip and that isn't assured. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a dangerous mark and he could get away with this trip in a well-run race but he took a nasty fall at Chepstow seven weeks ago and perhaps best watched on the back of that. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
C&D winner (similar mark) on Boxing Day; not the easiest to predict since and his respectable third at Perth (2m4f) last month was followed by a laboured performance at Cartmel (2m6f) 18 days later; place claims at a minimum if putting his best foot forward. |
11/2 |
|
8th 6 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

2-17 over hurdles; not yet proven over quite this far but posted good effort when third at Perth (2m4f, good) this month and didn't run badly over 2m1f on only previous visit to Cartmel; could have a say. |
6/1 |
