26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner over 7f/8.6f and suggested he needed a return to a stiffer test when fifth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) six days ago; respected. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (10) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Caught late after hanging left in a C&D classified event two starts ago before gaining his fifth AW success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise still leaves him fairly treated on old form and he has to be respected. |
9/2 |

1st 11 (2) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins include one over C&D; has been placed in each of his last three starts, most recently when getting caught late after hanging left at Lingfield (1m) 17 days ago; drops in trip with cheekpieces on for the first time and he's shortlisted. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has shown better form over hurdles than on the Flat in 2026 but may benefit from the return from this scenario, having gained sole success over C&D; second start for new yard. |
12/1 |
|
8th 10 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last February when trained by Jim & Suzi Best; 0-5 for his previous stable (Flat/hurdles) and has a hood applied on his first outing for Luke Dace. |
20/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Low-grade winner on the AW who has shown some aptitude for hurdling, making the frame in run-of-the-mill 2m maidens at Hereford (good) and Huntingdon (good to firm); not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but should feature in a weak race. |

8st 8lb |
Close second on his stable and handicap debut at Lingfield (1m) last month and again ran well when third here (8.6f) nine days ago; should have a part to play if stamina isn't an issue over this longer trip. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Only 1lb lower when winning over 9.4f here in March; hasn't offered a lot since then but clearly capable if rediscovering his touch. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 (6) |
14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark (eighth attempt) when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f, AW) in March but he's not come close to that form in three runs since; has something to prove back on turf and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
8th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three qualifying runs on turf, when finishing last at around 6f; off the mark at the eighth attempt when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.5f) in March and was making inroads from the rear when nearly coming down over that C&D last time; switches back to turf and it would be no surprise if he leaves previous efforts on this surface well behind. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who has raced mostly at up to 1m; back to form when third of ten in a 7f classified event here (first-time blinkers) in February but she's since run poorly at Lingfield; up against it at the weights. |
50/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden with a basement BHA mark of 37; ran surprisingly well when an 80-1 third in a 7f classified race four days but she looked a tricky ride in the new blinkers. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Winless as yet; some good AW runs in the second half of 2025, including over C&D, but well held on last two starts; others preferred. |
25/1 |

7th 12 (4) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Several creditable efforts on AW since September but her form nosedived over C&D on Boxing Day and she's now 0-17; down the list. |
25/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
14-race maiden; fair second over 1m at Wolverhampton last month and not disgraced at Kempton four days ago (1m); stamina is a concern, but excuses for poor run on only go at 1m2f (saddle slipped). |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Second start on turf when just pipped by Lunanova in C&D handicap (good to firm) on his comeback in May and got off the mark when beating 11 others in Thirsk classified (1m, good) last time; likely has more to offer on grass. |
5/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden but he comes here on the back of a good front-running second at Brighton two weeks ago (1m, good to firm); strong claims with a repeat. |
4/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

0-8; best effort since handicapping came when third of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) in February and he wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m, AW; got no cover) in March; off since and an unknown quantity in his first turf handicap. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All five wins came over 5f/6f on the AW between December and May, but she put up her best effort on turf so far when beaten just over a length into fourth of 11 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) five weeks ago; will have something to prove on the likely slower ground, though. |
5/1 |

4th 7 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a fourth AW success of 2026 at Wolverhampton (6f) in May; she's yet to show that form on turf though, just seventh of ten at Goodwood (6f) last time. |
