27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
2-2 here (5f/7f), but remains unexposed on the AW after just four outings; not at his best on turf lately, but the return here makes him worth a second look on stable debut (same owners). |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Reappeared with close third at Redcar in April but hasn't built on it, including last of 15 at Thirsk last weekend; hopes are pinned on a first-time visor having a revitalising effect with Oisin Murphy taking the reins. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won four times in 2024; just two runs last year and reappeared this April with close third at Redcar; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't really shone on his last four starts and has to turn things around. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him. |
7/1 |

8th 2 (7) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off. |

1lb lower than when scoring in an amateur riders' event at Goodwood (1m, good) in June, but hard to win with these days and latest close third of six came in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta); look elsewhere. |

Multiple winner in his young days including over C&D, but has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, one of which was on Jersey; may find a couple too strong. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
6lb below his last winning mark and does have form on soft ground, but he finished behind four of these over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start and a record of 1-24 on turf does pose a question. |

5th 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW, including C&D; last won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January; not so good on turf of late but he's dangerously handicapped if the switch back to AW prompts a revival. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |

Five of his six wins have been on the AW but consistent handicapper on all surfaces and ran well in a Class 3 at Doncaster latest (7f; fine at 1m); thereabouts. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Cashed in on much-reduced mark when justifying support at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April; several creditable efforts since, including fourth (Star Start second) in a similar race at Ripon (1m3f, soft) under Daniel Perrrin on Monday. |

Cashed in on much-reduced mark when justifying support at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April; several creditable efforts since including when a 2l fifth of 11 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time; should be in the mix again and he's versatile ground-wise. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
7yo who is without a win since September 2023 and doesn't appear to be the force of old, but he returned from a break at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June and that seventh gives him something to build on; on reduced mark and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |

Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting. |
