8th 1 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4-21, with the most recent success coming at Newbury (6f, good) last April off a 12lb higher mark than today's; below his best on his final three starts for Richard Hughes and has failed to beat a rival home in two outings for this stable; others preferred. |
66/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 7f Polytrack winner in his younger days but does most racing now over 6f; made a poor debut in a claimer for his new yard here last month, having been picked up for 10,000gns from Richard Hughes last autumn; surprise to see him take this. |
50/1 |

11th 4 (10) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has gained his wins over 6f on turf and 7f on AW; inconsistent since last success but has a chance on these figures now into a claimer if in form after his break (yard debut); drawn wide. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
On a losing run but he retains plenty of ability and his latest fifth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) was another solid effort; should make another bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Over two years since the last of his five wins; shaped well at Kempton on his reappearance but he hasn't built on it in two runs since; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn when favourite for a Kempton handicap last month; well drawn to attack and he lurks on a dangerous mark. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has five wins, four being on AW but losing run stretches back to May 2024; gets little respite from the handicapper but has run with credit on all three starts this year. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Signed off last season with a head success off this mark on the Rowley Mile (6f, good); he appeared to be running into form before the new cheekpieces backfired at Doncaster; makes the shortlist. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a win off just 1lb lower; has steadily found his form this term, creditable third over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for this stable at Newmarket in September; lively in the betting for both starts this spring and he built on a midfield finish at Newbury when fourth of ten at Ascot (again 6f, good) four weeks ago; respected from the same mark. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Often blows the start; everything clicked when she won at Yarmouth (7f, good) in April but she's been more miss than hit otherwise this year; others have less to prove. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
C&D handicap winner who was third to Royal Velvet in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; however, this exposed 6yo faces a tougher assignment in today's line-up and was ninth of 13 in this race 12 months ago; blew the start at Newmarket last time; hood/tongue-tie are applied. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and winless this year and well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) recently; however, that was more competitive than this and two starts ago he ran well when third of 17 at Ayr (6f, good); may have a chance. |
6/1 |
|
19th 14 (18) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won a good C&D handicap last year and also successful at Ayr last September; 0-7 in 2026 but he retains all his ability and ran well for third (of 17) at Ayr 19 days ago; high draw a potential stumbling block. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Dual C&D winner; finished well for fourth at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) in May but has rather mixed record since returned to turf in April and never really got involved at York last time. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often front-runs; without a success since landing a Group 3 as a 2yo; however, he has posted some good placed efforts and ran well when sixth of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) in July; has been dropped another pound and has to be considered. |
5/1 |
|
6th 14 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
He's on a long losing run and can be inconsistent, but this front-runner was third of 22 over C&D (good) in May and wasn't beaten far when seventh of 20 over C&D (good) last time; each-way possibilities from low draw. |
16/1 |
|
7th 17 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Smart earlier in career; yet to win for this yard but gave it a good shot from the front when third over C&D (good) at the Dante meeting and bounced back from a lesser effort over 6f here when third (Inspired fourth) of 14 at Wetherby (good to firm; made running again) last week; each-way claims again. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 5lb |
All five wins have come on the AW, including twice over C&D last winter; encouraging turf return at Newmarket in May hasn't been built on, cheekpieces tried last time now ditched; back on favoured surface but races off 15lb higher mark. |
15/2 |

14th 10 (9) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have come on the AW, including two at 6f last winter; highlight of turf form when third to Tango Flare here last autumn; fair form this term, but needs first-time cheekpieces to have an improving effect. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (17) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

All five wins have come on the AW, including two wins at 6f over the winter; creditable efforts in two recent turf handicaps, including when midfield in the Habitat at the Curragh (6f, good) when slowly away; 12lb lower mark compared to AW and up in trip now. |

Has five C&D wins on his resume, including two Wokinghams and two Group 3s; getting on for two years since his last win though and this might be too competitive these days. |
14/1 |
|
3 (11) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hold-up sprinter who has been a source of frustration since his last win in October 2023; on a lowly mark and his four C&D runs this year have all been competitive; shouldn't be far away. |
9/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
These conditions bring out the best in him and was taking his C&D record to 4-6 when finishing with a flourish to win a strong handicap last month; remains capable of further progress and although he has something to find at the weights, a bigger concern is the prospect of a tactical event. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better on AW than turf and his C&D record reads 31511 (including this race 12 months ago); endured a troubled passage at Newcastle on his most recent AW run and still looked in form; no show in the Stewards' Cup but this is altogether more suitable; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time. |
4/1 |
|
27 (20) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Capable off this mark and he didn't enjoy a clear run at Newcastle five weeks ago (6f); all his best form has come on AW though and nothing in his turf record suggests he's the answer. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Arrives in good heart, following a third to Badri at Windsor with a battling success on the same course (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; up 5lb for the win but that form was boosted when runner-up Trefor went one better here on Wednesday; needs to be considered. |
16/1 |
|
1st 9 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Generally consistent for current yard and recent form features a Chepstow success; met traffic issues on his way to third behind Badri and Inishfallen over C&D last time; solid claims. |
10/1 |
|
6 (6) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
First win since his 2yo debut when scoring off a reduced mark at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago; back up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that success and he has been generally consistent in handicaps; shortlisted. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
All four wins at 6f but was a good third over 5f at Ascot last spring and the way he travelled in the lead for a long way in a competitive 6f handicap at Newmarket last weekend suggests he should be fine back at the minimum trip; well drawn to attack against the rail but any easing of the ground may not help his cause (best form on good/good to firm). |
