20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Down the field in the Northumberland Plate (2m) and the Ebor (1m6f), but there were more encouraging signs when run down late by Wahdan over 1m2f at Pontefract (15-2) four weeks ago; C&D winner (Class 3, from 9lb lower) last summer, so merits respect. |

2nd 3 (2) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
On the up with a pair of 1m4f wins last summer but has unconvincing form figures this term, albeit met trouble in the Ebor latest; takes a marked drop back in trip now and still needs to prove he can defy a mark in the 90s. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Early promise for Marco Botti, winning a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, Tapeta) in December 2024, but well beaten on handicap/turf debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) last April; makes stable debut (same owner) after ten months off; market should be revealing. |
7/2 |

11th 2 (7) |
25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won comfortably in a maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December and creditable second to Circus Of Rome in a novice there (9.4f; a head in front of Hot Cash) four weeks ago; can still improve but this looks a tough mark for handicap/turf debut. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Nicely treated and back to form, finishing second in first-time cheekpieces at Chester (7.5f) and then fourth of 13 in a good race at Hamilton (1m); this looks less demanding than last time but softer ground would be preferred. |
4/1 |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Nicely treated, having gained sole handicap win (1m, soft) off 3lb higher; best efforts this term when runner-up on three occasions, including in first-time cheekpieces at Chester latest start; possibilities if suited by the switch to visor. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Dual winner; a mixed bag this season but has dipped to a dangerous mark and always a chance that cheekpieces could have a desired effect; ideally he'd prefer a tad further. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Improved on his debut form when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April but he's not gone on from that in two runs since; had some traffic issues at Windsor last time but this looks a tough assignment on the figures and others are preferred. |
5/1 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Improved on his debut fourth at Wolverhampton when runner-up at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month; didn't build on that at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time but he wasn't beaten far and he's a key player in this ordinary race; respected back up in trip on turf debut. |

In good nick without winning in 2026 until a below-par eighth of 13 in 1m4f Newcastle handicap in July; cheekpieces go on for the first time now. |
12/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Eight starts, with sole win on handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) last October; fourth on all four outings since but at least the best of those was on AW (Lingfield Polytrack on penultimate start); hooded last two; others look a bit more solid. |
12/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 4 |

Lightly raced; won over 1m4f here on handicap debut (soft) last October; fair form since and could go well, although he didn't run to his best on only previous try at this trip; hood on for second time. |

9st 0lb |
Placed in maidens at Kempton (1m) and Chelmsford (1m2f) in February/March but hasn't fared so well since, including in two handicaps; been gelded and mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game at this new trip. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Readily won Lingfield maiden (good to soft) in June before disappointing favourite backers under a penalty at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) having raced freely the following month; fifth of six on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good) left plenty to be desired last time; question to answer now but too soon to write her off. |

Readily won by 2l at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) before disappointing favourite backers under a penalty at Nottingham (raced freely); brings an unexposed profile into handicaps. |

Well-bred filly who took big step forward from low-key debut when winning readily by 2l at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) six weeks ago; respected under 7lb penalty here. |

Big prices all starts and has not shown enough in turf and AW handicaps (1m, 1m3f, 1m4f) to think she can be competitive today; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. |
50/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Well beaten on AW on his first three starts (1m-9.5f) and he beat only one rival home on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good) 26 days ago; much more needed now up in trip back on AW. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles a month ago but he won on the Flat in June, albeit over an extended 1m3f; likely to find this too sharp a test. |
8/1 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won off a lowly Flat mark in June (11.4f, good to firm) but not seen over hurdles since 49l defeat (albeit on soft ground) on handicap debut in December 2024 and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; tricky to weigh up back in this sphere. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Never better than midfield in AW classified race (1m4f; first-time visor) last month and has now been unplaced all seven starts; needs this new trip to show him in a much better light. |
50/1 |
|
10 (3) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Safely held over 1m4f in first two handicaps (including AW) and heavy defeat when upped to 1m6f last month; should appreciate this first classified but has a bit to prove now; tongue-tie and visor replace cheekpieces. |
