28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Regressive on the Flat and has 0-8 strike-rate over hurdles; not beaten far when fifth in first-time visor (now removed) on latest Flat start in June and returns to this code on a workable mark but others have more appealing profiles. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Hasn't won since recording a three-timer in 2024; last of six on return to action at Salisbury (1m4f, good) last month when favourite; has dropped to a career-low mark and first-time visor goes on; may be worth another chance. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up over this C&D in June; shaped better than the bare result at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) next time and didn't get home there last time over 11.5f after kicking clear; now 14lb below his last winning mark and he'll appreciate this drop back in trip. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest defeat when sent off favourite here (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago wasn't quite as bad as it looks, but his losing run is now up to 20 and his best form has come over shorter. |
9/2 |

9th 5 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was two years ago but he's been placed in all three runs this season including close calls over C&D (good to firm) and at Ffos Las (1m2f, good); remains well handicapped on his old form and he should make another bold bid. |

Did well in 2024 and then had 592 days off the track; signs of a revival when seventh in the Northumberland Plate but his Kempton run (behind Maxident) was disappointing. |

Very solid record in 2024 on turf but 592 days off before this season; beaten a long way on his return (his only AW race) and not so far next time but he still has major work to do to turn things around. |

Four-time winner on the Flat who showed some promise when fifth of 11 on hurdles debut at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) last month, but has endured heavy defeats in both starts since; not out of the question he could bounce back on handicap debut, though. |

9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in May and he's continued the good work with placed efforts in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); still looks on a workable mark and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |

Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |

9st 8lb |
Has a patchy profile but she's won twice this year including a comfortable one under Myla Coppins at Brighton (1m2f classified) last time; hard to rule out another good run, but her turf wins have been on good/good to firm and it would be a concern if the conditions become testing. |

Sole win from 14 races was at Windsor (1m2f, heavy) last October off 6lb higher; tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (which are now removed) on latest outing; this is a rethink on trip, following three attempts over 1m, and she's never been beyond 1m2f; bit to prove. |
