13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win from 21 starts came at Newmarket (6f, good) in August 2024; also posted a couple of decent placed efforts last August but ended 2025 on a low note and off for ten months ahead of this reappearance; a watching brief is the percentage call. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win from 20 starts came at Newmarket last summer; good second off reduced mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in August but he's taken two backward steps since and has something to prove again; first-time cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Only win in 15 attempts came off 1lb higher at Newmarket in August last year (6f, good); fair efforts in a visor (on again) when in the frame on last two starts; has each-way claims. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Last win came on soft at Doncaster (7f; from 23lb higher) in July 2024; knocking at the door this year, beaten a neck at Nottingham (1m2f) and Yarmouth (11.5f); hung left when third in a 1m2f Ffos Las classified (100-30) latest. |

3rd 2 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 and nothing like the force of old but placed in this grade on last three appearances; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f last time; ought to be right in the thick of things. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 1m on the AW, but neck defeats at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) and at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) in her last two starts suggest this trip should be within range on a sharp track; high on list. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Snapped losing run of 25 when seen to advantage (pace was contested and it set up for the closers) over 7f here four weeks ago; 4lb rise is of no great concern but tackling 1m for the first time raises a question. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won track novice (6f) in May 2023; hasn't scored since despite a declining mark and she needs to bounce back from a poor run last time; down the list. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Struck form on AW last October, his form figures of 112251 rounding out with a win at Wolverhampton (7f) in January; came back from 189-day break when the run looked needed at Carlisle last month; should step forward from that although this may be another stepping stone to his return to AW. |
16/1 |
|
7th 12 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
First three wins were on turf but last three have come on Tapeta; only 1lb higher than for his Wolverhampton win in January but that was a Class 5 and he finished out the back in his final run during the winter; now goes back up in grade and he has work to do after 189 days off. |
25/1 |
|
10th 9 (8) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a double over C&D in November and he got back on the scoresheet when making all at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher and could make another bold bid back in trip. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual C&D winner in early part of year, latterly off today's mark; out of form over 7f on turf when last seen in spring/summer, though, and has more to prove than some; wore cheekpieces last time; usual blinkers refitted. |
20/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win on turf came over two years ago and his last two efforts have been moderate; this mark is fine if first-time cheekpieces spark him back to life, however. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins at Newcastle (6f, AW) this year, but not very consistent and was well beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month; 2lb out of the weights; stable also runs White Ladder. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Form on the Newmarket July course features two wins in previous seasons and a creditable third on penultimate start; disappointing at Ascot latest but returns to Newmarket for first crack at the Rowley Mile. |
12/1 |
|
10th 2 (6) |
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. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |
5/1 |

12 (7) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Not quite at best on last two turf starts but now only 2lb higher than when leading close home at Kempton (1m) in May, and this longer trip won't be a problem; a possible. |

Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance. |

7th 8 (3) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Useful AW form in Britain, winning four times; well below his best in final runs for Laura Morgan and poor form has continued in two outings here for new yard; Colin Keane takes over for the first time now. |
33/1 |

10th 4 (8) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Useful overall AW form in Britain, winning four times; a long way below best since Southwell win last August; never threatened in a 7f handicap here on Irish debut. |
