17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has added two wins this year, at 7f and 6f (both on good), the latest when coming clear in good style at Pontefract 12 days ago; back up 6lb but he's never been better and this easy 7f shouldn't be a problem. |
3/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Form has an uneven look to it but he is capable on his day and his third at Chester (6f, good to soft) in August has been franked by the winner since; couldn't rule out. |
12/1 |

5th 8 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Another good run last time at Chester where he was closing down the leaders over 6f (good to soft); returning to 7f looks a good move and he can give his running on all sorts of ground; just 2lb above last winning mark. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Carlisle (7f, good) last year for Stella Barclay and it was another August win when taking Beverley handicap (7.5f, good to firm) for this yard two months ago; went close at Leicester (7f) on his penultimate start but finished well adrift of Moostar back over that C&D ten days ago, which tempers confidence. |

2nd 4 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Game effort to win a minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last month; never in the hunt at Musselburgh two weeks later; could prove vulnerable again. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Keen-going sort who got off the mark for the season over 5.5f here in July; has performed with credit both runs since, coming in third of ten in 6f Ripon handicap 18 days ago; not out of things but has double-digit draw to overcome. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Set a course record when justifying favouritism by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) on penultimate start; didn't see it out, in a race which has yielded various winners, at Hamilton (6f) three weeks ago; sits close to career-high mark. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won a C&D maiden in 2024; ran well here on his first two starts this year and won a handicap by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) last month; form figures at this track read 14232 and he makes the shortlist. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-12); hasn't managed to beat many rivals in three starts this year, only eighth of nine at Catterick (7f; 28-1) 24 days ago; handicap mark continues to slide. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's 1lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last September and is also effective on turf; however, following a break he's finished down the field on grass on his last two starts; has to get back on track. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
AW winner for Richard Fahey (7f); well beaten on stable debut after a break on turf at Lingfield last month (7f, good) but should come on for the outing; first run on soft ground. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on his old form but sole win was in a maiden in 2024 and he's been inconsistent this year; made some late headway when fifth at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last time but he's now 0-15 in handicaps and others are more solid. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Doesn't often run over this trip and has tended to get done for toe since dropped from 6f lately; a slow start from stall 12 at Chester did for him last time but others make more obvious appeal, returned to the visor from blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f maiden here in June of his 2yo season but that remains his only win; unlikely to be breaking his handicap duck from stall 12. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Landed his second C&D win 17 days ago when making all; up 7lb in a higher grade but has been in top form of late. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have come under front-running tactics on AW including over C&D and at Lingfield (5f) this summer; only 2lb higher than for last success but his good run of form came to a halt at Newcastle two weeks ago and he needs to bounce back after that. |
10/1 |
|
10th 8 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins have been on AW and he has form figures of 1221 since July; 3lb higher than for his narrow success at Lingfield (5f) last time but he made all to beat a clear second and hit another personal best with that brave effort; key player. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
0-11 and although fully effective on AW, he isn't progressing; blinkers now tried having run in cheekpieces over C&D last week; each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-10; placed here (6f) in April for Charles Hills; favourite here (6f) on debut for this trainer last month, weakening into fourth; drops 2lb and cheekpieces now tried as he goes back up in trip; enters calculations. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Only 3l behind Time For Sandals over C&D last summer; had just one AW run since, when failing to reward strong market support over C&D in April (finished third off an 11lb higher mark); subsequent turf efforts easy enough to forgive and he makes his stable debut (same owners) off a tempting mark; could be an AW specialist and he's of some interest. |
