28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Similar type to Hot Cash, having been successful on most recent start in this grade (8.5f, AW); however, looks harshly handicapped, being 5lb higher than last attempt on turf. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
3yo who made it three wins from his nine starts when taking a Racing League event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; very disappointing in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Thursday and needs to bounce back swiftly, but he's not discounted in view of previous promise. |
12/1 |

9 (14) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His first win at around a mile when beating 12 rivals with some comfort in a Racing League handicap at Wolverhampton; effectively only 2lb higher with Jack Nicholls taking off 5lb. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won her maiden over C&D a year ago and added a Lingfield handicap this July, by some 5l off 9lb lower; has shown she can deal with this mark and could bounce back from a quiet run now tried in blinkers. |
9/1 |
|
14th 1 (5) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won maiden over C&D (soft) last October; made all for easy win at Lingfield (6f) in July and it was a good effort dropped down to 5f when second at Yarmouth (also good to soft) last Tuesday; respected from same mark. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has run at 6f and 7f, two wins coming over the former trip on soft and good to soft; beaten a long way under a penalty in AW Racing League race in July but she'd come clear from a favourable draw at Lingfield previously; doesn't lack for pace and interesting on first 5f run. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won at last year's Galway festival (7f) but didn't come close to staging a repeat when returned there in July; has lack of stamina as a possible excuse for another below-par run at Haydock (1m2f) a fortnight ago but doesn't obviously arrive near the top of his game. |

9st 8lb |
Won at last year's Galway festival but didn't come close to staging a repeat when returned there last time, his second successive below-par effort; his peak form has been achieved around 7f so has stamina and wellbeing to prove. |

Son of Blue Point made a winning debut in 7f Wolverhampton maiden before backing it up with a solid fourth of 13 in Chlemsford novice 24 days ago; he holds strong form claims. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Sole win (from 25 attempts) came in a seller at Beverley in May 2025; inconsistent this year but ran well when fourth of 12 at Carlisle (5f, good) a fortnight ago and can be thereabouts if backing up that performance. |
5/1 |

Runner-up in low-grade 1m2f handicaps on last two outings and should be fine back at 1m but has more on his plate in this stronger race and needs help from the new cheekpieces. |
11/1 |

2nd 1 (8) |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat racer at up to 1m6f with 4-22 strike-rate; placed on all three hurdling starts, most recently when third at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) last month, and has good each-way claims again. |
6/1 |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat racer at up to 1m6f with 4-22 strike-rate; close second on hurdle debut at Stratford (good to firm) before finishing a well-held third behind a classy sort back there a month ago; can go well. |
4/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

Fair Flat racer at up to 1m6f with 4-22 strike-rate; took pretty well to hurdling and belied 20-1 odds when second (just ahead of Maskarvel) over C&D (good to firm) last month and has each-way claims at least. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Needs to rebound from poor 6f AW run three weeks ago but was fourth over that trip at Newmarket (good to firm) on consecutive starts beforehand and ought to be suited by this return to 7f; too well handicapped to rule out. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
On a good mark on 2025 best and his last two runs have been more encouraging; drawn widest and he will need a bit more if he is to come out on top. |
6/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Chelmsford win (7f, AW) last summer and he showed signs of a revival when fourth of ten over C&D (33-1) two weeks ago; ties in with Rebel Path on that form and he's not ruled out with cheekpieces added. |

20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
This year was going well, including four good runs here, before pulling his way out of contention at Brighton; all those runs were at 7f/1m but he's won over 6f and could be interesting back in trip. |
5/1 |
|
10th 5 (5) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Successful over 6f on this track last August then over 7f (AW) and 1m (good to firm) in 2026; no real match for a stablemate at Yarmouth in August but that one had dropped a long way in the weights; solid contender. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (14) |
30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Career-best form when scoring over 1m here in July and subsequent third over C&D (also good to firm) in higher-grade company was also a good run; ground slower than good would be new but, otherwise, his claims are solid. |

0-6; well beaten on handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (first-time tongue-tie and blinkers); posted slightly better efforts in two starts since stepping up in trip (9.4f/1m2f) with cheekpieces added but more is required. |
