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. |
33/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
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. |
20/1 |

9th 8 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Made her breakthrough at Listed level over 1m4f at York (good to firm) in August; soft ground may have been an excuse on latest outing; player if straight back to form. |
9/1 |
|
8th 1 (6) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Mostly progressive filly who followed a close third in a York Listed event (1m2.5f, good) in July by making her breakthrough at that level with a narrow but fairly convincing success over 1m4f at that track (good to firm) last month; should be fine back at this trip and she's a threat if soft ground proves no barrier. |
9/2 |

1 (3) |
21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Highly progressive in AW handicaps prior to creditable third of six in Group 3 at Newcastle (again AW) in June, all at about 1m2f; she's failed to match that back on turf (good; unraced on firmer) for her last two outings, but kept on steadily for a close third of 12 (on the heels of Rainbows Edge) in Listed race here on latest to give some hope for this new trip. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |

Well handicapped on old form but well below best for new yard earlier this year and has since finished well held on debut over hurdles (following a wind op), though did run well to a point; others safer. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
One-time useful AW handicapper but 0-8 over hurdles, though he went close at this level a couple of times over the summer; appeared to stay this sort of trip when a 5l third of ten at Downpatrick last time and looks sure to be involved. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance. |
15/1 |
|
4th 2 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
0-13 since winning his first two career starts on Polytrack, but capable of useful form as when third of 14 in the London Mile Series Final at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) 15 days ago; has run well on Tapeta at Newcastle and a player off the same mark as last time. |
9/2 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Career commenced with two wins; 0-12 since but close third in qualifier last time sets him up nicely for a crack at this final and first-time cheekpieces may have a boosting effect; in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
On a long losing sequence and he arrives below par, having been tried in a hood (now discarded) when seventh of ten in 1m Ascot handicap last month; handily weighted if he gets back on song though. |

Five-time course winner, but he's never scored beyond 1m2f and his last success was in November 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in last four starts and latest was over 1m6f here last month; opposable. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple C&D winner, the latest last August when rated 5lb higher; obvious chance if anywhere near that level but he has been struggling more recently; the return to 1m2f will help but not a solid option. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has done nearly all his winning at about 1m2f, most recently last August; inconsistent since but drops back in grade off a workable mark; stayed on for creditable effort in sole attempt over 1m4f. |
16/1 |
|
11th 6 (9) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Eight-time AW winner and first and second in two of his four races here; didn't run at all badly last time at Lingfield (1m2f) but looks vulnerable at the minute in a race of this nature. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |
14/1 |
|
10th 12 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Tough sort but has done his winning this year in Class 4, including at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) last time when taking record to 8-55; faces a tougher task back up two grades. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
9st 9lb |
Perhaps a better horse on the AW but has been running fairly well in turf handicaps this year and returning to further will be no hardship; has bypassed some engagements on account of soft surfaces which would be worry if the rain has got into the ground. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Solid AW strike rate of 4-8 including back-to-back wins here in the winter over this trip and 1m4f; is 5lb higher than when scoring over C&D in December and running okay on turf in recent starts; could go well back on his favourite surface. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |
9st 11lb |
Four wins at Dundalk, but winless on the grass; Curragh second suggested he might put that right, but laboured enough effort when favourite at Navan; looks held by Letiza on that running. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Has slipped down the weights after a quiet 2026 campaign; likely to take advantage at some point but perhaps in a less competitive affair than this. |

4th 4 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Usually apprentice ridden but Jude Fernandes rides him for the first time; 6lb lower than when winning at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) last June; he has not beaten many in his four starts this season, coming last in a four-runner race last time, but can't be dismissed and the hood he often wore last term (and first run this year) is reinstated. |

Fine record of 3-5 on the AW for Andrew Balding; 0-3 on turf on the Flat for that yard and hasn't troubled the judge in three runs over hurdles since joining this stable; pulled up over timber at Listowel after break latest; questions to answer. |
9/4 |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |

Three-time AW winner on the Flat; okay efforts in maiden hurdles at Navan and Limerick last autumn without really threatening to win; will qualify for a handicap mark after this. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Multiple winner on AW/turf, most recently off current mark at Chester in July; however, this is a better race and he has inconsistent figures otherwise in 2026. |
33/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Returning to AW should be in his favour but there isn't much room for error off this mark and the 1m4f trip is a concern. |
