2nd 10 (5) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Outstayed over 1m6f last time; consistent on turf/AW otherwise and although 0-9 in this sphere he has frame possibilities back down in distance; respectable third in similar event at Epsom (1m4f) on Derby day. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame all six starts this season, and might have bumped into a smart one when second off today's mark at Kempton (1m4f, AW) ten days ago; also suited by turf and won't be far away if stamina holds out over new trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent sort who has yet to be out of the first four in 17 starts; his two wins including one here over 1m3f last August and he was beaten only 2l over C&D last month; should continue to give his running. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had a busy spell so couldn't be blamed for flagging a little when last seen at Sandown in July; he had won there earlier that month off 4lb lower than today, though, and ran well enough in his one C&D run (after a layoff) to think he can go well back on this track. |
13/2 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
First turf win when a neck victor over C&D earlier this month (good) and might have followed up off this 3lb higher mark had he not been carried left late on at Windsor; 2lb higher in future; player. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Sandown (1m, good) last time, registering a first success on turf; back up 3lb but remains well treated on the pick of his AW form; gained his other wins back-to-back. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Southwell (1m; 16-1) in February and also ran well (third; in first-time cheekpieces) there in April; underwhelming since, particularly on last two starts (both 1m); it's possible that this sharper track could suit. |
15/2 |
|
14 (4) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Made all for a winning handicap debut over C&D in February and he bettered that form when a good third of 13 in a competitive race back here in April; fairly middling efforts since but he's dropped in the weights and the return here is a plus. |
8/1 |
|
4 (7) |
3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who made all on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in February; hasn't added to it since, but he has run with credit on occasions and has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than for his win; shortlisted. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Progressing at a rate of knots; impressive over C&D in August on his only 5f run; has since run a fine race for second in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, heavy); could have more to come back at 5f and he is a leading contender. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Began 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of just 61 and went on to win five times (6f-8.6f); returned to action with a huge performance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March, slicing through the field from 2f out, and that positive impression has been confirmed with further wins at Newcastle (6f, AW) and Ascot (5f, good to firm); looked a natural at 5f when winning at the Shergar Cup meeting and the demands of this race will ask different questions; whatever the outcome today he remains a sprinter to keep on the right side. |
12/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive last year and he has continued the good work in 2026, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle either side of lesser turf efforts, albeit in hot handicaps; has run well at Ascot in the past and although he has yet to race over 5f, he is a strong traveller who could prove suited to it; interesting. |

Dual winner over 1m2f on turf (good/good to firm) this year and just 1lb higher than for the latest; shaped quite well in both previous goes on the AW; shortlisted back down in grade. |
6/1 |
|
3 (6) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
1m2f turf wins this May and June, the latter when tongue tied first time (kept since); ran respectably at 1m4f on last two starts (three places behind Crowd Quake at Doncaster on latest) but return to 1m2f may suit. |
11/2 |
|
5th 11 (8) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
1m2f turf winner this May and June, the latter when tongue tied first time (kept since); creditable third of six when trying 1m4f on Lingfield AW on latest outing, but a previous attempt at 1m4f on turf was not so good; unraced on softer than good; others look a bit more solid. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark for his new yard with a front-running win at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last month; the form is working out extremely well and he holds strong claims up just 3lb. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner; started off for new stable with two down-the-field runs over 1m in the spring, but fared much better when third at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) in June and remains on a good mark. |
7/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Got off the mark at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; showed the benefit of wind surgery when showing improved form when beaten a head by an unexposed sort at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; looks sure to go close. |
11/4 |
|
9 (5) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

9th 8 (7) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Only one win (14 races) but that 1m handicap in June was at this track; ran respectably next time and rallied into a close fourth of five for slowly run race on latest; needs to find extra but his tongue-tie (worn two and three starts back) is restored and new trip now looks worth a go. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) off 7lb lower in July; went close at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and a stumble at the start may have lit him up when midfield at Doncaster 12 days ago; career-high mark but he's not ruled out. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (6) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; never got involved at Ripon next time but was clear of the rest when narrowly denied by an improver at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 11 days ago; due to be 3lb higher in future but slow ground would be a concern. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last July who's never run on the AW off a mark quite this high (been in good form on turf lately, including a Nottingham win off 5lb lower); needs to find a bit more again. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Yet to score this season but back in very good form since fitted with cheekpieces, runner-up in big-field handicaps at York (1m) and Doncaster (1m2f) last two runs; up 3lb but he can go very well again in retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 11 (7) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner whose three wins last year included two at this track over 1m; below his best over this C&D last month but a good second of 19 in first-time cheekpieces at York (1m, good to soft) five days ago; has form over this trip but others may see it out stronger. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 16 (8) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in this last year and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces off an 8lb lower mark; however, following an encouraging reappearance at Newmarket in May he's failed to shine on his three starts since and needs to turn things around. |

10st 13lb |
Successful for new yard at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May and he ran well when close up there in July; however, a foray over fences didn't go well next time and he was out of contention when unseating back over hurdles last month; questioned for win purposes. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in May and largely in good form since over hurdles; made mistakes when last of eight on his chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m1f) eight days ago and not discounted quickly returned to this sphere. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |

Won at Carlisle (7f, good) last year for Stella Barclay and it was another August win when taking Beverley handicap (7.5f, good to firm) for this yard two months ago; went close at Leicester (7f) on his penultimate start but finished well adrift of Moostar back over that C&D ten days ago, which tempers confidence. |

Game effort to win a minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last month; never in the hunt at Musselburgh two weeks later; could prove vulnerable again. |
