23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't won the races one of his ability should; 4lb lower than for his winning start for Stuart Williams in January (7f, AW) but that wasn't a springboard to better things; sold for 8,500gns this month; goes without headgear on first run for Tony Carroll; not sure what to expect. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Generally disappointing since returned to turf in May but seemed to respond well to first-time visor when close second off reduced mark at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; big player if in similar form here. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who was strong in the market when making light of a 560-day absence at Thirsk (7f, good) in May on his first outing for Ed Bethell; won going away in a style which suggests this step up to 1m could unlock more improvement; a further four-month break is of little concern given he goes so well fresh (also won on debut). |
2/1 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Only raced four times for Charles Hills but he won a 7f novice on his debut and finished second in both handicaps in 2024; the form of the Newbury second worked out extremely well and this mark ought to be in range; a 560-day absence, during which time he has changed hands (30,000gns last July) and been gelded, is the obvious concern but he returns for a stable in red-hot form; hooded first time; betting informative. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's dropped to a mark fully 15lb lower than when a close fourth over C&D last August; however, this regressive 5yo has struggled to get competitive this year; a first-time visor replaces a tongue-tie. |
7/1 |

7th 5 (10) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well handicapped but that has been the case for a while and his losing run stretches back 18 months; attracted support at Yarmouth last month (7f, good) but fared no better; now tried in a tongue-tie. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Three wins in 2024 but he has drawn a blank since; returns to his optimum trip off a reduced mark and this is his first Class 5 handicap for some time; not solid but he has the ability to go well. |

Won in maiden and handicap company over 6f when a 3yo; expensive to follow last year in handicaps but ran some good races, and again from the front in a 6f Class 4 here last month on return from an absence; might take a step forward from that and he'll be fine back in trip. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his maiden over C&D as a 3yo, returning from eight months off, which is a positive after a break of ten months; expensive to follow in handicaps last season, following a second wind op, and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market. |
8/1 |

6th 5 (8) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won two in a row (6f/7f, good to firm) last summer and performing well in defeat this year, including second to Air Force One in a big-field at York (5f) in July and to subsequent Ayr Bronze Cup winner Winged Messenger at Epsom (6f; third and fourth also won since) when last seen seven weeks ago; raced mainly on good or firmer but showed promise on soft at the start of his career; has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie; high on the shortlist with Warren Fentiman taking 5lb off. |

Has a modest 1-16 strike-rate and she hasn't been at her best on AW on her two runs this year; however, she's now 4lb lower than when a commanding winner over C&D (good to firm) last August and she'll be a major player if rediscovering some form. |

First turf win when beating three rivals at Bath (1m, firm) in May; she's run creditably over this C&D in the meantime, notably when checked in her run but keeping at it two starts ago; lesser run next time but she's run well both times Rossa Ryan has ridden her and should do so again. |

Won a 6f maiden on fast ground as a 2yo; encouraging seasonal/handicap debut at Haydock in July (5f) and then did too much early at Newbury eight weeks ago when upped to 7f; this may prove his trip and the handicapper is easing his task. |
