29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; has an impressive strike-rate but all six of his wins have come on the AW and he hasn't been placed in five runs on turf; bit more promise at York on latest but others still appeal more. |

Lightly raced 7yo; has an impressive strike-rate but all six of his wins have come on the AW and he hasn't been placed in four runs on turf; below par last time and has a fair bit to prove. |

7yo who is lightly raced for his age and made it 6-12 on AW when winning a competitive C&D handicap over Easter; failed to get heavily involved back on turf at the York Dante meeting since but has to enter calculations now back on AW. |

Useful Flat performer (four wins, rated 81) has been runner-up in maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe and Newton Abbot; appears well held by State Pension on running at Navan. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 165y |

Won four times on the Flat at 1m2f-1m3f; sold for 29,000gns in July and made a most encouraging start over hurdles when runner-up at Ballinrobe (2m, good) last month; looks a major player. |

9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark. |
3/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more. |
11/4 |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |

Ordinary form on the AW during the winter but he is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last August; off since February but he's respected back here on this return. |

10st 13lb |
Three-time flat winner showed a little bit more over timber at Tramore (16.5f, good) last time but was still beaten 7.5l into eighth; down 2lb but needs to improve again to be competitive here. |
22/1 |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 1lb |
Three-time Flat winner (twice in France, once in Britain) at up to 1m4f; has shown little over hurdles, but can be forgiven his recent run at Cork, failed to recover after being badly hampered four out; may do better. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Both wins at this track, the latest a C&D defeat of Sun Dancer Girl in January; solid placed efforts on his last two starts and he has the assistance of a top amateur jockey; big player. |
11/4 |

3rd 8 (6) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Most runs and both wins have been on the AW but has comparable turf form, including a second over C&D in 2022; needs respecting after a near miss at Kempton (2m). |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again. |

9st 4lb |
Showed promise in his first three starts on the Flat for Ben Brookhouse as a 3yo, but wasn't the same horse after unseating on his hurdles debut; makes his stable debut (same owner) after 21 months off and the market should be revealing. |
14/1 |

14th Jan 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Retains a good amount of ability at the age of 11 and won a C&D handicap off 4lb lower under Harry Atkins in June; below that form back from a break on the Flat last time but still needs respecting at this level. |
6/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who won over hurdles in June and ought to have finished second here (2m, good; rider dropped hands in closing stages) when back on the Flat later that month; may need further than 1m4f nowadays, though, and younger rivals appeal more. |
