Regressive 6yo who is now 0-6 since joining this yard; others look more likely. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 6yo who managed only third of four over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 0-5 for his new stable this year; cheekpieces (no obvious effect when used twice last season) are given another whirl; revival needed. |

On a good mark and knows how to win; however, three of his four runs since a break have been underwhelming. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seems to act on most ground; recorded the latest of his six wins when scoring at Leicester (1m4f, good; stays further) in April but he's been below par over the summer and beat a total of one rival across his last three starts; now handicapped accordingly but revival still required. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Not at his best lately (well-held last of three latest) but is 2lb lower than when scoring over this trip on good in the spring so a revival wouldn't surprise with Dylan Cunha among the winners. |

3rd 1 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |

Not at his best lately, but is back off the same mark as when winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April; has won three times over this trip including here and has a solid chance if producing anything like his best. |

Versaatile 10yo with 15 wins on his CV; not firing on all cylinders this season, the last twice over fences, but has dropped to a dangerous hurdle mark and will appreciate this ease in grade. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won back-to-back races at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but he's been generally disappointing since; on dangerous mark on this step back up in trip but needs to turn things around; tongue-tie added. |
9/2 |

6th 4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Won back-to-back at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but has been below par of late; paid the price for doing too much too soon when a weakening fifth to Stellarmasterpiece (1m4f, here; beaten 2l) on penultimate start; easing mark helpful. |
11/2 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |

Made all when winning in a small field at Musselburgh in April (2m, good) and he followed up in Jersey 19 days later; poor run at Doncaster last month but he bounced back with a solid effort at Catterick last week (1m4f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Well held when third in C&D maidens on last two hurdling starts but ran well to a point both times and has been given a wind op since; smart on the Flat at his best (fourth in 2022 Derby) and open to improvement over hurdles on this handicap debut. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Formerly smart on the Flat (fourth in 2022 Derby) but was knocking about in low-grade handicaps last year; well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in May but shaped with much more promise when third over C&D (albeit well held in the end) later that month, and might collect another minor prize today. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

A fair 2m winner at his best but he came in last in 2m Newcastle handicap in December; won a point last month though so is no forlorn hope. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Six-time AW winner but she's 0-13 on turf; chased home a lightly raced 3yo at Carlisle (1m6f, good) on her penultimate start, though, and she has form on a testing surface; no surprise to see her in the shake-up. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
All six wins have been on AW, the latest over C&D last November off 3lb lower; not so good on turf but was runner up at Carlisle (1m6f, good) last Tuesday which holds her in good stead for this return to AW. |
13/2 |

2nd 4 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |

A three-time AW scorer (at up to 1m6f) in 2025; largely in good form this season and recorded a solid third of 11 over C&D in June; not out of things after a break. |

Three-time Flat winner (1m-1m6f) for Richard Hannon; having only his fifth start over hurdles when scoring by 15l at Southwell (2m, good) eight days ago; 7lb penalty shouldn't preclude another big effort. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won here in 2020; ended a long losing spell with a win at Newbury (1m3f) in June but finished last on both starts since; has not seen much action beyond 1m4f but ran creditably in a muddling 2m race on Kempton AW last November; others look more solid. |
20/1 |

9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Disappointing favourite when last of four over 1m2f last month but ended long losing spell with quite comfortable win at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) two starts ago and will be fine over today's trip; big player if back on song. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
4th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Was winning for the first time since February 2021 when successful in another apprentice event at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) nine days ago; just 1lb wrong under his penalty and a contender now that he is back in form; wouldn't want rain, but he's not alone there. |
