5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Made all in small-field Newton Abbot maiden (2m2f, good to firm) in July and has performed well in all three subsequent handicaps (2m1f-2m2f); probably won't be far away but some of the others look more progressive. |
9/2 |

5th 3 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won small-field maiden here (2m2f, good to form) in July and ran at least as well when clear second in Fontwell handicap (2m1f, good) last month; still lightly raced over hurdles; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 |
28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful on the Flat a couple of years ago and won a small-field maiden hurdle last month, after a layoff; weakened into fourth after making most of the running on recent handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) but still considered. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Put a poor run behind him when second at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago and will be suited by this move back up in trip but some of the younger ones appeal more all the same. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
7lb lower than when last successful here (1m4f) a year ago and has run some creditable races in the meantime, but he hasn't tackled a trip this short in almost two years; others more solid. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |

7th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Again didn't look straightforward here last time, on his second run back from a long absence, pulling hard having jumped awkwardly from the stalls; that was over 1m3f and he'll need to be way more amenable over this trip. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
10th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-5; was having his first race in over three years (gelded in the meantime) when fifth of seven on stable debut at Goodwood (1m6f, good to soft) last month; didn't look the most straightforward there and others are more compelling for now. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden whose best efforts in France as a 3yo came on soft ground; has been gelded and is entitled to need this first run in more than three years for a yard also responsible for Miller Spirit. |

9st 5lb |
Doubled his winning tally with a game success at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 20 days ago; 3lb higher and still needs to prove his stamina over this far, but a major player otherwise. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (1) |
1st Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last year with a Wolverhampton win (9.4f, Tapeta) but he's finished down the field in two runs at Nottingham (1m2f/8.3f) this spring; wasn't beaten far last time and is effective at 1m2f on Polytrack but others are more persuasive. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 1m2f on turf last August and AW in October; also had AW form in the winter but recent efforts do not look persuasive. |
25/1 |
|
4 (3) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |
13/2 |

1 (2) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Last month saw him get off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt, in a five-runner maiden over C&D; competitive on Flat either side of that but probably needs to raise his game a notch in this sphere; stable also runs Motazzen. |
3/1 |

5th 9 (6) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good third at Salisbury (1m6f) in August before scoring over hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f) 23 days ago; must enter calculations back in this sphere. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 |
6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed after 11 hurdle starts but ran commendably well when close third in valuable series final at Punchestown festival (2m3f, yielding) in April; returned from break with decent Flat run last month and has strong claims here. |

23rd Jan 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Was snapping a losing run when prevailing narrowly at Lingfield (1m4f) but then followed up over the same C&D ten days ago, defying a 4lb penalty without being overly pressed; only 2lb higher for this despite another penalty, but stamina for 2m is unproven. |

took keen hold, prominent, steadied into midfield with one circuit to go, hung left over 1f out, pushed along and ran on well inside final furlong, led final 110yds, comfortably |
