31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has turned things around with cheekpieces added this summer, finishing runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) before scoring in similar conditions over C&D six weeks ago; this is tougher off 3lb higher but that was a brave win last time and he remains well treated on his old form; shortlisted. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Endured a fair spell in the doldrums until cheekpieces woke him up when chasing home Siam Fox at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; very well handicapped if that signals a revival in his fortunes. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Thrown in on his 3yo form but 2025 was disappointing and he's struggled in both runs this year; mark continues to fall but he needs a needs a big turnaround in first-time cheekpieces. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won 1m2f maiden here last May for William Haggas and fair third in Hamilton handicap (8.3f, good) last month on third run for this yard; needs something extra today but continues to edge down the weights and her trainer has won three of the last six runnings; could be involved. |
6/1 |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Of serious interest on last season's best form for William Haggas; yet to fire for David O'Meara but her latest run at Leicester can be ignored as she was trapped against the rail for most of the final 2f; fine on good ground but unraced on slower. |
8/1 |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Inconsistent for William Haggas, though did win a 1m2f maiden and went close in a 1m Sandown handicap; faded away on stable debut (1m2f, good) but was only 4-1 for that handicap and should win races for new yard. |

Pretty consistent since cheekpieces have gone on, including winning a Beverley maiden (8.5f) in June; creditable third of six at Sandown (1m) on latest start in August; makes AW debut back from seven weeks off. |

9st 9lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in June on second handicap start and followed up at Doncaster (1m, good to firm); another good run when close fourth at Beverley (8.4f, good) last time and that form has worked out nicely; trainer has won the last two runnings and she could be in the shake-up. |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Ten-race maiden at up to 1m2f but he was a close second of 12 at Newcastle (1m, AW) in January before a lesser effort back there in March on final start for Julie Camacho; makes hurdle/stable debut with stamina to prove back from nearly three months off. |

9st 5lb |
Nine-race maiden but he turned things around off a reduced mark when runner-up behind Hartswood over C&D (cheekpieces added) last month; has a 3lb swing in the weights with his old rival and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Back to form when second of eight in 1m handicap at Newmarket 13 days ago; this C&D winner take a big step back up in trip now and must enter calculations off a reduced mark. |
7/2 |

2nd 7 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
His two Flat wins have been over 1m6f and 2m on AW; won over hurdles at Worcester last summer but he's been generally disappointing since, including in three Flat runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he was sixth of seven over C&D last time and others are preferred. |

His two Flat wins have been over 1m6f and 2m on AW; won over hurdles at Worcester last summer but he's been generally disappointing since, including in two Flat runs (1m2f/11.4f) this season; has plenty to prove and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |
