5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten on his last 12 starts but has run some good races in the meantime, finishing third in this last year (good) and sixth of 22 in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; could be thereabouts. |
6/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Probably no ground worries; not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor last year off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before none of his three starts since panned out favourably; can be given a place chance. |

Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before neither start since panned out favourably; only ninth in this last year on his only run at Goodwood. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice in June, here over 1m2f and over this trip at Musselburgh; put two lesser runs behind him when second at the latter track (1m5f, good) in July but found the drop back to 1m1f against him there four weeks ago; steps back up in trip with claims. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice in June (1m2f/1m4f) and put two poor performances behind him when clear second here (1m5f, good) a week ago; can cope with this drop back in trip and is still on a workable mark; ought to make his presence felt. |

2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won minor events at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) and here (extended 1m4f, good) in June; reportedly bled from the nose in his hat-trick bid and then ran poorly at Newcastle last week; not easy to assess. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Dual course winner (1m2f; last win October 2024); has beaten just a single rival in his last three appearances (1m2f-12.5f) and, while he has eased 11lb over that period (and is claimer ridden), it's tough to form an argument. |
40/1 |
|
12th 10 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice for David O'Meara on Newcastle AW (1m2f) in 2024 but 0-12 on turf; out of sorts last year, and has failed to beat a rival in last two appearances, at Newcastle and Redcar; mark is in freefall but plenty to prove. |
66/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner over 1m2f at Newcastle in 2024 but winless since; close-up fourth there at a big price in March but has struggled in three starts since, all at Newcastle; returns to turf with a bit to prove. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Very smart when at his best on the Flat but doesn't look the force of old and pulled up here in June on handicap debut over hurdles. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Makes handicap hurdle debut looking well treated on best Flat form, albeit with recent evidence (including under this code) suggesting he's not the force of old. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart at his best on the Flat; made low-key start to hurdling career during the winter but positives can be drawn from his fourth at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and he ought to be better suited by the faster ground here. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Has taken well to fences and completed a three-timer at Catterick in January; resumed winning ways at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and this front-runner may prove hard to peg back. |
6/4 |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Front-runner who won three in a row in December/January (1m7f-2m, good-good to soft), following a wind op; recent efforts suggest he's still in good form and likely to give this a good shot. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 4 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Beaten 32l on his chase debut in October but subsequent wind surgery sent him on a roll, a win over C&D (good to soft) in December triggering a hat-trick; nothing wrong with his third of six at Sedgefield last time and he may still be capable of better. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-7; pulled up in three of his last four, including at odds of 300-1 at Musselburgh (2m, soft) last December; hood added, but he surely isn't the solution off a 206-day break from 9lb out of the handicap. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came in Redcar novice in April 2023 when trained by the Gosdens; unsuccessful in five starts over hurdles this year for current yard and three modest efforts on the Flat since; on a career-low mark but hard to fancy. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Something to prove regarding current form but he's tackled 7f/1m1f the last twice and is now 7lb lower than when a creditable fourth over 1m4f at Southwell (AW) last August; not written off now back up in trip. |
