17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ayr winner in July (1m, good to firm) and solid runs since then off today's 5lb higher mark, finishing just ahead of Milteye (Walsingham further back) on his return to Ayr and then beating all bar a Prescott 3yo on the AW; hard to knock. |

Gained his seventh success when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in July and ran another solid race there last month off the same mark as today's; respected but he is yet to win off a mark this high. |

Placed in Group races over 6f and 7f as 2yo but still no win, this year including in handicaps on three of her last four outings; three of her 2023 runs have been at this track and that form does not look good enough. |

0-10; showed ability at around 1m on turf/Tapeta in 2023, but four efforts this year have been underwhelming; needs first-time eyeshield (replacing cheekpieces) to make a big difference and is not well drawn. |

8st 13lb |
Dual course scorer, including this trip off 10lb higher in autumn 2022; hasn't fired lately so will need first-time blinkers (which are added to regular tongue-tie) to have a revitalising effect. |
25/1 |

Dual Wolverhampton winner (8.6f/9.5f) who has dropped 7lb lower than when last successful, but his efforts since returning from a lengthy absence last May raise doubts as to whether he can take advantage. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Winner in Britain over 1m; has been tried over vastly different trips since then, over 1m3f and 1m4f here; drops back in trip on his first run for a trainer forging a good reputation, but best watched from a bad draw. |
16/1 |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 0y |

AW winner in Britain posted a solid effort on Irish and stable debut at the Curragh in June but hasn't gone on from that; down the field over C&D on latest and same mark now; visor worn that day discarded; needs more. |
18/1 |

8th 11 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |
8st 11lb |
Ordinary form in Britain, just sole 1m AW win to his name; seasonal/stable debut fourth over 1m4f at the Curragh, in this grade, was very good (travelled well and stuck on well) and quite likely he 'bounced' eight days later at Carlisle; has tried different headgear and visor now goes; trainer seems adept at improving recruits. |
