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. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Extraordinarily consistent sort who is yet to finish out of the frame in 16 starts; Master Vintner and two others proved too strong for him late on over C&D two starts back but that rival is 3lb worse off at today's weights, so they are very closely matched. |

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. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has broadly respectable form since returned to turf, notably a good effort behind Dovey Moon; however, still may be more interesting when back on Chelmsford AW; 2-2 there compared to 0-18 elsewhere. |

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. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
14th 12 (15) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Blessed with a potent turn of foot and he has been impressive in winning 6f AW handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle this year; a 3lb rise for the latter success five weeks ago doesn't handicap him out of things and he ran well in his one visit to Goodwood; one to be interested in. |
11/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

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. |

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 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Kevin Ryan; won a 1m AW handicap in March 2025; stays 1m2f but below-par when tried over further; bit to prove. |
40/1 |
|
12th 11 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Didn't progress as may have been expected following a 1m win at Southwell last March; dropped away to finish eighth of the nine runners on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m); enough to prove for now. |

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 |

Infrequent winner but he is effective on Tapeta and has undergone wind surgery since his latest start; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
9th 8 (7) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

A two-time 1m winner here in 2025; made a promising return when fourth at Newmarket in May but well held in 1m handicaps at Carlisle and York since; has a bit to prove now. |
4/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner with a favourable low draw; shaped nicely at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance and quick ground was blamed for a poor run next time; below the mark of his last win (over C&D) and no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front, especially if the rain materialises. |

Both wins at Redcar, the latest a 7f handicap in May off 3lb lower; he has finished last in his two runs since and connections now turn to a visor (wore cheekpieces to no avail once in April). |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (1) |
20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 2-2 on this track when winning over 7f (good to firm) in May; never involved at Catterick last week and now needs to prove himself at 1m, one previous defeat at the trip coming after a winter break. |

7th 4 (6) |
9th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Won Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) last June and returned to form to make it 2-2 there in May (7f, good to firm); has to prove he can do it away from Redcar but he's entitled to respect on the back of that win. |

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 |

Record of 2-18 over hurdles and latest fourth at Uttoxeter wasn't too far off his best form; however, he's Flat bred so what he'll make of fences remains to be seen. |

1st 2 (14) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |

On another career-low mark after a 4l third at Doncaster (7f) where he travelled well but didn't finish with any great purpose; 1-19 and has a wide draw. |

3rd 4 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Modest since joining Nigel Tinkler (0-6) but there was merit to his Carlisle second (7f, soft) on penultimate start; that track seems to bring out the best of his abilities so, although fairly weighted, he couldn't rate as a confident pick. |
