1st 3 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 22 races to February 2024; however, he's often run well in the interim and he's been given a bit of help from the handicapper ahead of this reappearance; can be in the mix if fully tuned up. |
10/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
5yo whose 31 starts have been at 5f-7f and his losing spell goes back to February 2024; however, he's run many big races in the interim, most recently at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in August when finishing strongly for a share of third, and on that evidence this first crack at 1m is well worth a go. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; many good efforts since back from a short break in June 2025, four wins including one at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) in September; closely involved on Kempton AW since and entitled to have a say. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back up close to a career-high mark at the age of nine having sprung a surprise on turf off 2lb lower last time; lacks consistency now but merits respect as a five-time C&D winner. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Most of his runs on turf have been on soft ground and he's won three times on that surface; runner-up at Lingfield (6f) in June but below his best in both starts since (soft turf/AW); could return to some form and run well. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up mare who's become hard to win with, taking just one of her last 29; again gave her running against her own sex over C&D a fortnight ago but will need to better that. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three of her eight wins have come over C&D, the latest in April off a 1lb lower mark; on a competitive mark now back down to Class 6 and returned to AW; will need luck from stall 1 but she's one to take seriously. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Midfield at Ayr (6f, heavy) last Thursday and same story at York (5f, soft) on Friday; however, he twice went close on consecutive days at the end of September (5f/6f, soft/heavy) and is not ruled out under Billy Loughnane. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in June and runner-up on next two starts, over this C&D (soft) on the latter occasion; three lesser runs followed but he was bang there when third back on soft ground at Hamilton (5f) yesterday and has to be considered after that revival. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Class 5 success over C&D initiated a solid start to the season; the subsequent other half of his campaign is characterised by a dip in form; no certainty to take advantage of drop back down weights. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins were in late 2022 and he has been looking regressive this year; wouldn't be the obvious answer after nearly three months off. |
8/1 |
|
6 (13) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip. |
9/1 |
|
12th 2 (2) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No win since late 2022; has dropped in the weights and his reappearance effort at Doncaster wasn't a bad run but he failed to build on it at Salisbury a fortnight ago; others appeal more. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 5f winner at Chepstow this season; managed only sixth of nine behind Moe's Legacy here (5.7f good to firm) last month, though, and might still be a shade too high in the weights. |
9/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Drawn wide at Chester last time and had previously won narrowly at Chepstow (5f, good to soft), maintaining his good season; perhaps high in the weights now, though. |
15/2 |

8th 12 (10) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Gained second win of the season at Chepstow last time (5f, good to soft) but now 4lb higher and has no easy task from stall 10. |

30th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has done her winning at 6f but the way she shaped over 7f here last time (second run for new stable) suggests this new trip is worth exploring; attractively weighted off 4lb below last winning mark; interesting. |

3rd 1 (8) |
14th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Decent strike-rate on AW but form has been patchy since her last win April and she failed to beat a rival at Chelmsford (6f) on last month's stable debut; now 3lb lower than for last success but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are more solid; cheekpieces reapplied. |
