15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (7f-7.4f); on good mark and can cope with combination of drop back to 6f and return to Tapeta but others have less to prove. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Triple 6f winner, including on good to soft; would have claims from this mark if able to produce one of his better two efforts for this trainer in 2026 but needs to bounce back after two lacklustre performances. |
16/1 |

11th 5 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Couldn't get involved from off the pace last time at Newmarket and good runs before then at Doncaster (blinkered) and Southwell (visored; all over 6f); as last time, he goes without headger, but stays 7f fine; not without hope. |
6/1 |

His sole turf win was in 2023 but he was good third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) last time; headgear is now removed but he should go well again off unchanged mark. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Caught the eye dropped to a 0-70 for the first time at Kempton (6f) four weeks ago, beaten only just over 2l despite being repeatedly denied a clear run; the return to 7f should help if anything and Patrick Chamings is among the winners so there are reasons to be hopeful. |

She has slipped down the weights and there was more encouragement to be gleaned from her Goodwood fifth last month (7f, soft); drops in class today and Jim Crowley is booked; interesting. |

C&D winner in 2024; two sound runs over 1m at Hamilton in May; mixed form since, although was well beaten on turf last twice; needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Campaigned mostly at Hamilton for current stable, winning in May and creditable second to Sanafi Zabeel (runs in first division) last month; well held in last week's Leger Legends at Doncaster but it's an effort which might be worth forgiving after he pulled too hard; Hector Crouch is 1-1 for the stable this year. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Classy on his day and although not at his best at Deauville in July when last seen, he had been better than ever when winning a Group 2 at York (6f, good) in May; some form claims despite the penalty but flat tracks suit him well and he's having his first run on this one; yard also represented by Division. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steps up further in class but he has progressive York form and brings impressive stats, being 3-4 over C&D (gained last win cosily in good-ground Listed race) and 4-9 in headgear, which is reapplied with Newmarket reappearance under his belt; has a better chance than bare ratings suggest. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has form on the Newmarket tracks but recorded last three wins at York, including when beating Crestofdistinction with more in hand than the narrow margin suggests in Listed grade on most recent appearance; likely to be more interesting when back at that venue. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Won three 6f events in the early part of 2024, notably the 3yo handicap over C&D on Good Friday; two heavy defeat since need forgiving but it was a strong race on turf on the first occasion and he'd been off for seven month's prior to his recent return (easy to back and looked to need it); still has time to do better but he will need a quick transformation to take this. |

Big improvement with his wins over C&D and at Newcastle (6f) in February/March; no joy in hat-trick bid at York (7f) in May but he still has potential after only eight starts and is 3-5 on AW; needs a close look back in trip on his return. |

9st 1lb |
Well handicapped on her 5f 2yo form; tackles the trip for the first time this season and it could prompt a return to form, but her claims aren't overly compelling in view of this year's performances at 6f/7f. |
10/1 |

14th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Won twice over 7f for Karl Burke as a 2yo; not much to celebrate since but his stable debut in January (C&D) wasn't without hope and he's now 10lb lower; not solid but a big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |

Five wins all on Tapeta and he usually gives his running round here; however, there's little leeway off this mark (5lb higher than when winning in lesser company in the spring) and he doesn't arrive in the best of form. |
