25th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner on heavy ground in March; five months off before doing well back on the Flat this August/September, notably when clearcut winner at Chester (1m4f, soft); third in useful 1m5f event here (heavy) five weeks ago; major each-way claims. |
9/2 |

3rd 15 (11) |
21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner on heavy ground in March; five months off before showing improved Flat form when a close second at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) and clearcut winner last Saturday at Chester (1m4f, soft); up another 5lb; a rising force, with more to prove away from soft ground but the recent rain looks a big positive. |
11/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Juvenile hurdle winner in March and returned from five months off to finish a good close second back on the Flat at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) three weeks ago; pulled 4l clear of the third so a 3lb rise looks more than fair. |

11st 12lb |
Three Flat wins from 39 starts; latest success was over 1m4f on Dundalk AW in May; unplaced at Bellewstown last Thursday; previous hurdles form leaves him in need of major improvement. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (12) |
1st Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 77y |

Three-time winner goes on any ground and comes here in reasonable form on the back of two fair efforts in Britain; first time to run here. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Passed by Mr Moonshine close home when fourth at Chester latest, beaten under 1l and clear of Sisterandbrother and Return With Gold; well treated on 2024's peak form, but winless around any course this galloping. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Landed his third win at this track (1m4f) in May; takes a significant drop in trip after beating only one home at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) last month; may be best to wait until he steps back up in distance. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Third start for new yard when winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) under Grace Littmoden in May; 4lb rise fair enough and the return to turf shouldn't be a problem back from a short break; shortlisted. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

C&D winner who hasn't scored since August 2023; well beaten in his only two starts since September 2024 and looks best watched. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Runs here regularly and landed his third course win (second over today's distance) in March off 3lb lower; returns from a break and likely to need the run. |
9/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner who won over C&D and at Southwell (2m) in the spring but he's been beaten 12l or more in last two starts; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs a major revival back on AW. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Soft and heavy-ground turf winner who won twice in the spring (1m4f/2m, AW); easy to excuse latest effort when down the field in a competitive consolation race; mark okay and he's not dismissed back on turf. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Goodwood handicap in June; not disgraced from a less-than-ideal draw with fifth of 11 at Chester (1m2f) last time; considered with cheekpieces back on here. |
11/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Two course wins over further; won a Goodwood handicap (1m1f, good to soft) in June off this mark; not so good since but a revival would be no surprise. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021; close second off 2lb higher to Jam Lass in this race last year but modest over hurdles this term for new yard and tailed off at 100-1 when back to Flat 18 days ago; cheekpieces (worn for most of 2025) get their first airing this year. |
50/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Modest RPRs at best switched to hurdles this year for new yard; hasn't won since Listed honours in 2021 but went close off current mark at Redcar last October in most recent Flat run. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 |
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. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but followed that with a poor run at Doncaster and he effectively refused to race in blinkers (which are quickly discarded) at Beverley a fortnight ago; hard to know what to expect. |
28/1 |
|
11th 12 (3) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Consistency is an issue but he's on a good mark on this year's best, notably a close third at Thirsk in May; blinkers tried for the first time, which could be significant as the only other occasion he's worn headgear resulted in a Brighton win last summer (cheekpieces when trained by W Haggas). |
16/1 |
|
8th 9 (1) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Hasn't added to last season's two wins (7f/1m, good/good to firm) but ran well when close fourth at Chester (good) last time on first go at this trip, beaten a length despite stumbling early on; interesting. |

7th 3 (5) |
2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |
