24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times last year (including C&D on good to soft) and he's just 1lb above his last winning mark; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game this season and first-time cheekpieces need to prompt something extra. |
20/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in second half of last year (7f-8.6f, good to soft/AW); his progress has stalled this season, with two mid-division finishes (1m, AW), but his Newmarket trainer is 3-15 here and he may yet be capable of better. |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Emerged from midfield to win with a bit in hand at Southwell (1m) in October; only 4lb higher and his midfield finish at Kempton was after 206 days away; still appeals as a horse who could have more to offer. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when bagging his first two starts of the term (Pontefract; 1m2f, good) but couldn't complete the hat-trick when last of three at Newmarket four weeks ago; 0-6 on the AW. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All five victories have come over a stiff 1m2f so he has that in his favour, including two round Pontefract in June; never won off a mark this high, though, and an 8lb rise for a wide-margin success in an amateurs' handicap last time will test him. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time. |
8/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

No further progress since his successful yard debut over Hamilton's extended 1m in May and others look on better terms with the handicapper. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |

Ended a long losing sequence (on his yard debut) over C&D in May but comes here on the back of a below-form sixth at Newcastle (1m) last month; needs to get back on track. |

10st 0lb |
Three-time winner and 2lb beneath his last winning mark; beaten about 4l in his last two races at 1m1f so not in bad form and he might get a good pace to chase, which helps him. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |

Won his third race when taking a Killarney handicap over 1m last July off this mark; some solid runs since, including when third of 13 at Gowran last week (1m2f, soft); inside draw and good amateur aboard. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |
14/1 |

10th 12 (1) |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner (from lower marks) last autumn; couldn't sustain challenge when third at Redcar (1m, good to firm; 28-1) on penultimate start; lost many lengths at the start, toiling in competitive Class 4 at York latest; task isn't insurmountable. |
12/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Falling in the weights and ran respectably when third to Rajapour at Redcar on Sunday, but the winner bolted up that day and it's hard to see the tables being turned. |
25/1 |

3rd 3 (2) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |
8/1 |

10th 12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |

Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

High in the weights after three wins this year but not disgraced the last twice and claiming 3lb through William Carver can aid his cause; won't be far away. |

31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins this year, the latest at Newmarket this month (1m, good); solid effort in a Racing League handicap 16 days ago; not handicapped out of it on last year's best but a lower draw would have been preferable for one that likes to race prominently. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took a while to put her head in front but having got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f; blinkers first time), she followed up in emphatic fashion at Newcastle last week; escapes a penalty for that win and she's due to be 9lb higher in the future; obvious claims. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made her breakthrough at the 13th attempt when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f; first-time blinkers) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and she's still unexposed on AW; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; regularly run well in defeat this year, going down narrowly over 1m at Thirsk three weeks ago; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |
9/2 |
