23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but the addition of cheekpieces, allied to a reduced mark, have seen an upturn in his fortunes since June; latest Windsor second (1m, good to firm; stable debut) wasn't far off his best and he's high on the list with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time. |

2nd 4 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner; cheekpieces applied for final three races and after two thirds (1m) he got no luck in running at Chester; now having first run for Tom Ward and wouldn't rule out. |
6/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D last autumn; took a while to get going this season but he's been placed at with cheekpieces added in his last two runs (1m, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Sole success came at Kempton last May; made the frame on all three starts this summer and should give another good account. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored over 1m on Polytrack in May and placed twice behind same progressive rival over that trip on turf at Ffos Las last month; benefits from Mason Paetel's useful 5lb claim here and shapes as though well worth a crack at 1m2f; might be the answer. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Tended to stick to slow turf/Polytrack; missed a year after finishing lame last June and was entitled to have needed his comeback, when third to Grey Soul over C&D; hit traffic late that day and is 2lb better off, so there's a fair chance he turns things round. |

9st 1lb |
Sole win from 17 starts came at Wolverhampton in 2024 when trained by his previous stable and he's mostly struggled since joining this yard; off for 168 days and is best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
20/1 |

8th 8 (9) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has dropped 11lb lower than when making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last December, for a reason though and his last three starts (including two since a second wind op) were particularly poor; swaps cheekpieces for a hood. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Ran respectably with visor fitted at Lingfield (1m, AW) last time, while shaping as if this return to 1m2f is worth exploring; still a maiden but could go well in the retained headgear. |
10/1 |
|
4th 12 (9) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Third of nine over this C&D last October when trained by Michael Keady but he beat only one rival home here over 1m2f on his stable debut nine days ago and his record now reads 0-18; drops back in trip with a visor added. |
12/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

Still to add to his debut win but he has finished second in handicaps the last twice, over C&D and then at Lingfield (6f, AW); shouldn't be far away off the same mark as last time. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly bolted up at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; that remains his only success but he's generally been running well this term and the handicapper is starting to give him a chance; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win from 16 starts came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and did best of those ridden prominently when eighth of 22 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and he's considered. |

He hasn't found his best form in three runs for Rod Millman but he is dropping down the weights and he has one of the more experienced riders on board; could revive. |

6th 5 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Yard in flying form but this gelding has it to prove, having been off since a poor turf comeback in May; two previous runs on Polytrack weren't great either, while an easy 7f looks a bare minimum. |
20/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |
