8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Knuckled down well to justify favouritism here on reappearance but hasn't made the expected further progress; seems to stay 1m but all three successes remain at 7f; concedes weight all round; others preferred. |
13/2 |

9st 8lb |
Not seen to best effect when mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time out but prior to that he kept on well to make a winning reappearance at Haydock (7f, good to firm) and this very lightly raced 4yo retains potential, especially back up to 1m. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up on AW in his first three starts before beating two rivals in a Brighton maiden (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is much tougher on handicap debut but he's been generally progressive so far and is still unexposed; in the mix with cheekpieces added. |
4/1 |

8th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three starts at 7f on AW; sent off 15-8 for first two runs but best form when beaten just over 1l at Chelmsford (6-1) last month; that was the third time he's finished runner-up but he sets the standard on turf debut and two of his three winning siblings scored on good to firm ground. |

Has made the frame in all four races, showing best form on turf the first two times; particularly solid effort (second to subsequent Group 2 scorer) at Sandown on debut; sets a clear standard back in this sphere. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Maiden below best on turf recently but has hit the frame in three of his four previous runs at this venue; beaten 0.5l off 14lb higher over C&D in February so well handicapped and rider takes off a further 7lb; drops in grade and could be dangerous. |

Record is 0-16 and tends to run on when it's all too late, which he did when back at 6f last time having been found wanting over 1m on his previous few starts. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Never threatened a serious blow when mid-division over 7f on AW at Chelmsford (3-1) and Kempton (15-2); settling her has been a work in progress; brings among the best form claims, albeit at an unexciting level. |
3/1 |

8th 8 (7) |
15th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Inclined to overrace in a steadily run race on her debut at Chelmsford four weeks ago; could take a good step forward with that initial experience behind her. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Inconsistent 4yo whose best efforts have come from the front, latterly at a big price round Kempton ten days ago; usually pulls hard and often hangs right, and is far from certain to repeat the dose. |
8/1 |
|
14 (7) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March but he's lost his way in last five starts; did too much early on from wide draw at Wolverhampton last time but he's now 1-18 and others are more convincing. |
33/1 |

7th 7 (10) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Got off the mark at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March and was only beaten 1l over C&D in May but has suffered four heavy defeats since; has plenty to prove. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a promising return when third of 11 in a novice at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in March last year, but has come nowhere near that form since; drops in grade, but still needs a resurgence. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was beaten at least 17l in all four 7f/1m races this year; cheekpieces (worn for last two starts) are discarded for this first attempt at 5f; has too much to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

0-7 and he has beaten just three rivals home in his four handicap starts; tumbling down the weights but carries risk. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m winner here last October; saw off his 18 rivals at Redcar (1m) in September and stylishly won a nine-runner race there (1m2f) 13 days ago; raised another 7lb today but reinstalling cheekpieces for those last two races received a big response and he's in the form of his life. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Second 1m course win of this year when seeing off 18 rivals in this headgear combination on good ground 24 days ago; never involved over this C&D prior to that, though, and has yet to prove he's fully effective over 1m2f. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has a patchy profile and he's been well in last two runs (1m2f), but both wins have been at this trip and latest was over C&D (good) in June; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in this mix on this drop back in trip and grade; cheekpieces added. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over this trip at Kempton (Polytrack) and Newcastle (Tapeta) in November; fair third of seven behind two of these at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; each-way claims down another 1lb if taking to this track at the first time of asking. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Game effort to win at Kempton in November (1m) and followed up off the same mark at Newcastle eight days later; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he forms part of a strong hand for Ian Williams. |
8/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m at Kempton and Newcastle in November; good third back at Kempton last month and not disgraced in Newcastle Class 2 with cheekpieces added (left off now) a fortnight ago; handily drawn for a prominent racer and needs considering back in a lower grade. |
