7f win at Thirsk in May and also went close over 7f here a fortnight later; not so good since, including when dropped to 6f at Ripon last week. |

7f win at Thirsk in May and ran well over that trip at Chester two weeks later; not quite so good since and the drop to 6f isn't enough to tempt. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Gamely prevailed by a neck at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last time, doubling his tally; back up 3lb but remains well treated on peak form; looks likely to remain competitive. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 (14) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On another career-low mark after a 4l third at Doncaster (7f) where he travelled well but didn't finish with any great purpose; 1-19 and has a wide draw. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Modest since joining Nigel Tinkler (0-6) but there was merit to his Carlisle second (7f, soft) on penultimate start; that track seems to bring out the best of his abilities so, although fairly weighted, he couldn't rate as a confident pick. |

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. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Prominent racer who has run two good races at Hamilton (6f, good and 5f, good to soft) this season; unraced on faster than good but a key player if underfoot conditions are suitable. |

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. |

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. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
None too consistent but he ran well on his return to turf at Windsor last month and then lost his chance at the start at Bath 16 days ago (blindfold off late); on a good mark and his rider takes off a handy 5lb; interesting with new blinkers replacing a visor. |
9/1 |
|
10th 3 (8) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when scoring at Wolverhampton (6f) last month and he has run two solid races in defeat since; well drawn to attack but there are other pace influences on show and his 5f efforts need bettering. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered his second win when scoring over C&D last month off 5lb lower; went close to following up when going down by half a length at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago and may be worth persevering with at present. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in September and doubled his tally when making all at Wolverhampton a month ago (second run in cheekpieces); drawn wide but off only 3lb higher he's considered. |

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. |
