7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back. |
100/30 |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw.. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
The vast majority of his recent racing has come at 5f and he's unraced at 7f; however, he wasn't stopping at the line when third here (6f, good) last Saturday and this trip is worth a go. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won the same Class 4 at the other Newmarket track (5f, visored) in July for the third consecutive year; held in a higher grade subsequently but he's now just 2lb higher and this drop back into calmer waters must help; no headgear for his first visit to the Rowley, though. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways in a small-field Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July; he has come up short twice since and looks vulnerable for win purposes. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Upped in distance for two wins at Wolverhampton (8.6f/9.4f) early this year, with plenty in hand on second occasion but he was well beaten off this 9lb higher mark in a valuable Newcastle race 11 weeks later; has a little bit more more to prove back on turf as well. |

Two from two since upped in distance, both wins at Wolverhampton (8.5f/9.5f); had plenty in hand last time and should cope with 9lb rise; interesting with further progress plausible. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Remains consistent enough but has become hard to win with and doesn't have much room for manoeuvre off this mark, which is 4lb higher than when going in at Windsor in July; may well be dropped in again from a wide stall. |
10/1 |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent sort who is campaigned regularly at Windsor and he landed a 6f handicap there in July; poorly drawn when fifth of nine there (6f) three weeks ago; no forlorn hope. |

Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-time winner who scored at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in Janaury but he's not got involved in his last three starts; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent record round here (2-4 over C&D) and is back on the mark off which he won here in January; not in the same form of late, there's always a chance he'll blow the start and it's no certainty the race will be set up for him. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who gained his sixth success on the AW at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; didn't quite see 1m out when sixth there in February and he never featured in a 0-105 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago; will appreciate the drop in grade but he'll want a good gallop to aim at over this shorter trip. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |
33/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |
33/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |

Goes well here and is 2lb lower than when winning over C&D late last year; well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end and a case could be made for him. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Just two starts since March but they came last month at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and he ran with credit on both occasions; back on his last winning mark and he can go well again. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

One of his five wins came over C&D in May 2025; third to Amazonian Dream over C&D four weeks ago was an encouraging return from four months off and in-form 5lb claimer is now recruited; in the mix. |

9st 4lb |
Only turf win was in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) for Jane Chapple-Hyam in October 2023; however, he has run two sound races to be placed at Ayr on last two starts (7f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |
5/1 |
