2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Did best of those in the stands' side group at York (6f, good to firm) in July and then kept on for third of nine at Southwell (6f, AW) 27 days ago despite not getting the best of passages; now down to a career-low mark and this dual C&D winner should appreciate stepping back up in trip. |

3rd 1 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's struggled to get competitive on turf on his four starts since May, albeit he fared best in the near-side group at York a fortnight ago; Tapeta seems to be his preferred surface and he's 5lb lower than when going close at Wolverhampton (7f) in February; no surprise to see a big run. |

Has not matched this year's AW form since returned to turf; should be well treated now but not sure stall 22 will be an advantage. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has been kept busy since winning over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in December; went in again at Southwell on Tuesday evening and needs respect. |
8/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |
14/1 |

7th 6 (2) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D in first-tiime cheekpieces on stable debut in July and followed up with narrow success at Epsom (6f, good to firm) last month; could still have more improvement to come for James Owen; must be considered. |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Tim Easterby with two good efforts in the spring and made winning stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; will be fine back on turf and could still have more to offer for new stable; major player. |
7/4 |

1st 12 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Expensive to follow this season, having missed ten months, for Tim Easterby; run well on Tapeta before and a couple of times in a visor too, so it wouldn't surprise were to to take this in first-time cheekpieces. |

Only 1-32 and should have run better in a classified here last week as he stays 7f. |
14/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has modest 1-31 strike-rate but gave good account when third of 13 in 6f handicap here last month and now dips into this basement grade for the first time; fine over 7f; high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Four-time winner who has been as good as ever in defeat this season, latterly with cheekpieces on for a visor at Newmarket (7f, good to firm; has won at 1m); has run well in his two previous starts at Ascot; respected. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won two from five last season and looks as good as ever this term, fourth in a big field at Ascot two weeks ago; effective at 7f and 1m; should be in the thick of things again. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Dual C&D scorer; made an encouraging return with sixth at Catterick (7f) in May but beat one in 7f Redcar handicap since; needs to bounce back. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Sole win in 7f AW novice; has run respectably over this trip on grass but no soft-ground form to speak of and others are more likely to handle the conditions; first-time tongue-tie latest, now discarded. |
25/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Her only win came over C&D and she made a pleasing return from three months off at Pontefract in June (6f, good); another break to contend with this time and connections now turn to a tongue-tie. |

7 (2) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Campaigned mostly on AW and over longer trips; inconsistent since her sole win and has enough to prove in this scenario on return from three-month layoff. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
The visor has had a positive effect and he may have bumped into one when a clear second off this mark 11 days ago (Polytrack); goes well here and is one of the likelier winners. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointed on his reappearance in June but he's been running well in three starts since the visor was applied, most recently finishing third of 11 in a 0-75 at Haydock (7f, good) 13 days ago; drops in grade with good claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
He's run pretty well in this visor on his last two starts, last time 3l second of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); however, he's back up into a 0-75 here and has won just one of his last 29 races; may again be vulnerable. |
