Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; below par twice on turf since a respectable third on AW at Southwell (1m6f) in July but is well handicapped again. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned mostly on AW this season; has failed to repeat the form of her July success; has done most of her winning on turf but is well exposed, unlike some of today's rivals; the oldest contender. |

Her Kempton success (1m3f, Polytrack) in July came in a race run at a crawl; still 3lb higher and out of the frame in three starts since; others preferred. |

Handicapped to win but he's rather been going through the motions this summer; has form at this track but over further and he may be ideally suited by more of a test. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in May and good third on the Flat at Bath (2m1f, good) in June; well-beaten fifth of 12 at Chester (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago but may have been unsuited by the tight track and today's test of stamina could be right up his street. |

C&D winner on heavy ground in 2024 off an 18lb higher mark than today's and he gained his first success over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May; ran a solid race when third of eight at Bath (2m1f, good) three months ago and makes plenty of appeal. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Things fell ideally when winning a weak C&D handicap off a 3lb lower mark last autumn; the cheekpieces worn for the first time that day go back on tonight, but two lesser efforts since (one over hurdles) will need forgiving. |

27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Four-time winner but very opposable on her modest form for current yard and the new headgear combination will need to help in a big way. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Four-time winner but her last turf success was in July 2022 and she's been out of sorts in four runs for current yard; hood is now removed and she needs a major revival back in trip. |

Won the penultimate renewal of this race in 2022 which was his last success; the closest he's come this year was at classified level but could still run well with the ground in his favour. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Seven-time course winner, five times on heavy ground; back in good form lately, winning at Chepstow before respectable sixth in higher-grade company at Chester (also 1m2f, good to soft); ought to be hard to beat in these conditions. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |

Goes well on slow ground and was winning for the ninth time when getting the better of Meet Me In Meraki at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; 4lb worse off for a neck but does have a talented claimer booked. |

Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |
