5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Smart operator on AW and although his turf form lags slightly behind, his second at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in July was a cracking effort; ran poorly in the Stewards' Cup five weeks ago and he's 2lb higher today; unwise to rule him out at a track he has run well at in the past. |

25th 23 (12) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Best known for his AW exploits but he is fine on turf and has a lower mark in this sphere; went desperately close at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, a race in which the first two pulled clear in the closing stages from a subsequent winner; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he was successful on his only visit to Goodwood; interesting. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has a record of 5-15 on AW and ran well over C&D in March when bidding for a hat-trick; not certain to be in the same form, however, having subsequently posted two duck eggs upped to Class 2 level. |

12th 8 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Reliable operator on AW, which saw his mark rise before he was below form at Newcastle (33-1) in June latest, after three months off; he's effective at this track (including a win under 7lb claimer) but his 2025 turf form isn't good enough. |

Absent since finishing fifth over C&D two months ago; 0-10 for current stable but remains well handicapped on historical data; admittedly doesn't seem the force of old. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run goes back to last December but he's dropped down the weights and his recent narrow defeat against a smart rival at York (5f, soft; has won at about 6f and on good) was a cracking effort; back up 3lb on course debut but he should be very competitive. |
11/4 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to score this term but he's hinted he can put that right, his latest fourth at Beverley (5f, soft) being another such example; return to 6f is no bother and he won't mind how the ground is riding; career-low mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |

6th 4 (2) |
17th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Career blighted by a couple of absences; promising run at Wolverhampton in March after 645 days off but he hasn't fired in two runs this winter after a wind operation (off eight months before the first); edging down the weights but others look safer. |
16/1 |

12th 8 (11) |
2nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Rarely seen since his 2yo campaign; ran well over C&D in March but not in the same form behind One Night Stand here nine days ago (first run after a wind op); others look safer. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run up to 15, but has been running well in defeat as when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Windsor (5f, good) last month; races off the same mark, but he is another for whom this trip looks sharp enough. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher but that was on AW in April 2024 and he has mixed record in four runs this year; ran well at Kempton (6f) in March but he was remote when third at Leicester last time and needs to bounce back again after that disappointing effort. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing turf run goes back four years and he wasn't particularly convincing on grass in the middle months of 2025; however, he is 11lb lower than the latest attempt and his recent AW run at Kempton was quite encouraging; revival on the cards with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Snapped losing run of 25 when seen to advantage (pace was contested and it set up for the closers) over 7f here four weeks ago; 4lb rise is of no great concern but tackling 1m for the first time raises a question. |
11/2 |

1st 6 (6) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won track novice (6f) in May 2023; hasn't scored since despite a declining mark and she needs to bounce back from a poor run last time; down the list. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

9th 6 (12) |
19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot. |

Not as good or consistent as he was and does a lot of his racing now over 6f, as when behind Monks Dream (Dark Kestrel fifth) here recently; again only holds each-way claims. |
8/1 |
|
7 (6) |
15th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped to a dangerous mark and his last two efforts have been more encouraging; 7lb better off with Brazilian Rose on last month's C&D run but wouldn't be open to the same progress as that rival. |
14/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
17th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Close third on latest outing but isn't certain to build on that effort; 0-11 for current yard and losing run goes back to 2022. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unpenalised for last week's narrow win here when prominent throughout in the reapplied visor; had dropped to a good mark anyway so clear claims if he can hold his form, which is not always the case. |
5/1 |

1st 9 (11) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

Hit and miss this season but he is on a handy mark and form such as his third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on penultimate start brings him right into it; visor back on after two runs in cheekpieces. |

Successful four times under regular rider Brodie Hampson, over 1m2f last three occasions including at Beverley and Lingfield on last two outings; back up another 2lb but remains well handicapped, including on peak efforts last term; rain probably okay; one for the shortlist. |

Won over this trip for today's rider at Newbury last June (good to firm); rather inconsistent since, but fine second to an in-form rival at Chepstow last time (1m2f, good to soft; The Pug just behind in third); a possible off current good mark. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has an excellent record at Ayr and it was a shame that he was drawn on the other side to the narrow winner when leading home his group in the Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last week; back up 3lb which won't be beyond him if he copes with this track at the first attempt. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and winless this year and well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) recently; however, that was more competitive than this and two starts ago he ran well when third of 17 at Ayr (6f, good); may have a chance. |
6/1 |

19th 14 (18) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won a good C&D handicap last year and also successful at Ayr last September; 0-7 in 2026 but he retains all his ability and ran well for third (of 17) at Ayr 19 days ago; high draw a potential stumbling block. |
