25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last November off a 3lb higher mark; shaped as if in form when seventh of 12 there in a 0-80 in March but he's been absent since; considered. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |

Seven times an AW winner, twice over C&D; back to his last winning mark and Jack Mitchell takes over from a 7lb claimer; one to take seriously. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
6f wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell in the autumn; runner-up twice since and he wasn't beaten far when favourite at Southwell (fifth of eighth) last time; now returns to 7f but he has plenty of form at this trip and he's in the mix. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His sole turf win was in 2023 but he was good third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) last time; headgear is now removed but he should go well again off unchanged mark. |
11/2 |

2nd 1 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort; one of his three wins came over C&D early last year and he has become well handicapped, while he ran his best race since joining Adam Kirby when third of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; should be bang there with a repeat; visor returns. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since July 2023; ran respectably (fifth) on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) in May and has had excuses since, including when stumbling and unseating his rider at the start at Goodwood on Wednesday; 3lb below last winning mark (AW), and with a 5lb claimer booked. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

Races prominently; easy winner of this 12 months ago when only 2lb lower and he returns on the back of some solid efforts, the latest over 6f which has to bode well; good chance. |
6/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Prominent racer; series of good runs at around 7f since May; slipping down the weights and should be a key player back at 6f. |
4/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell off 2lb higher; respectable third of ten over 7f at Epsom (good) 17 days ago; successful on his previous outing over C&D; this prominent racer is capable of making a bold bid. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

9st 6lb |
Two 6f AW wins for previous yard last winter but it hasn't been easy since winning for this one at Newmarket in August and, after getting closer at Wolverhampton last month, things never went his way from a wide draw at Southwell; needs more weight off his back. |
20/1 |

Slipped in the weights and back to form in refitted blinkers at Wolverhampton last time; drawn on the outside this time, though, so has to show that can be backed up. |

Back to winning ways off this mark at Lingfield (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time) in April; he hasn't built on that and others may have his measure. |

7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |

Far from consistent at up to 1m4f in Britain and it remains a very long time since his French win; has failed to back up his June classified effort; new trip needs to have major effect. |

Made a winning reappearance in a maiden over C&D in May and added a narrow success in a handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in July; looked a non-stayer at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last time, but worth a second look back at this trip after a short break. |

Didn't find much after travelling strongly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month but that was his first run since February and he's on a good mark if the outing brought him on. |

7th 4 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last December and was third there (7f) next time; absent since heavy defeat at Southwell (7f, AW) in February but he ran well last May following a break and should be fine back on turf and back down to 6f; not ruled out. |

Dead-heated at Kempton (7f, AW) last August; fourth in his first two starts this year and bounced back from a lesser effort when runner-up at Lingfield (7f, AW) nine days ago; 2lb well in and looks a contender. |
