25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 7f course winner; 7f wins at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month, the latter off 7lb lower, but he wasn't suited by a modestly run race at the former track ten days ago; left the impression he's still in form and he holds claims returned to 1m. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a losing run over C&D in July and quickly followed up with comfortable success in 7f Yarmouth handicap 18 days ago; up another 7lb now but very much one to consider in his hat-trick bid. |

10st 2lb |
Had his ideal combination of fast ground and a strong pace when back to winning form at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected if this pans out in a similar way, which looks a possibility. |

9st 12lb |
His last win was in France in 2021 but he's dropped a long way in the weights and showed signs of a revival when third at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) two weeks ago; that was with an eyeshield added and he has claims if he can back that up. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
2-5 over C&D; scrambled home to justify favouritism from Operation Gimcrack (runs in first division) in this last year; placed numerous times since, including at Yarmouth (7f; 10-1) on penultimate start; slow start scuppered chance latest. |

Both turf wins have been over C&D on good to firm, the latest last August; close third to a subsequent winner at Yarmouth last time (7f, good to firm) and has a fair chance here. |

Both wins on turf have been at Doncaster (7f) on good to firm; close third of 11 at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but ran below his best when last seen 147 days ago; break may have done him some good. |

29th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
13-race maiden; fair third (beaten over 4l) over C&D in October on final start for Jane Chapple-Hyam; is entitled to have needed his recent Southwell (7f; stable debut) comeback, but still prone to being picked off late again if adopting the same trailblazing style; others preferred. |

Placed in 3-12 starts, including over this trip, when with Jane Chapple-Hyam; changed stables since latest start in October; trainer among the winners and it wouldn't be a huge shock if he manages to coax a first one out of this gelding, who drops back again in trip; check for any market confidence. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Likeably consistent this season and last week's fifth at Chester was no backward step, as he was close up despite being dropped in from a bad draw; usually ridden handier; never won off a mark this high but respected; goes on all ground. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Series of good runs this year, most recently a dominant success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; that wasn't far off his very best and he's one to consider up 4lb. |
8/1 |

1st 7 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Won a Class 5 over C&D (soft) in June and followed that with three runner-up finishes; beaten favourite at Goodwood a fortnight ago but he was racing away from the main action and shaped as though still in top form; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; solid claims. |

Sole win in 7f Lingfield handicap in early 2023; minor form for this yard and although there was the glimmer of a revival over C&D on Boxing Day it wasn't enough of one to fancy him for win purposes. |
