14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has two 1m wins to his name on AW and returning to this surface in his favour after a low-key run at Newmarket last month; he had disappointed at Kempton on his previous start though and others appeal more. |
14/1 |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in May and has a 5lb lower mark on this return to turf; however, he's rated lower on grass for good reason and he was well beaten back on AW at Kempton last month; others are preferred. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (from a similar mark, beat Criminal Shore) last October; runner-up to well-treated rival over C&D (9-1) penultimate start; reluctant to load, fluffing his chance with a slow start at Redcar (1m; last of 14) latest; possible if back on song. |
13/2 |
|
14th 5 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here. |
8/1 |

2nd 9 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m Doncaster handicap last month, just failing; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run goes back to C&D win in March 2024 but in good form on this track for his last yard, albeit he didn't help his mark by running well from out of the weights in July and he's now 4lb higher than for a defeat here the time before; likely to go well for new stable, even so. |
4/1 |

3rd 14 (11) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Winless since 2024 (over C&D) but runner-up in 1m handicaps here on his last two starts; can't be dismissed despite being 3lb out of the handicap. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 14 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when third in this last year and he returned to form when going close over C&D early this month; has a modest strike-rate but he can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Bought for 20,000gns out of the O'Meara yard for which he won three times at up to 1m2f; made a quiet stable debut at Chester but was no doubt bought with hurdling in mind. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bought for 20,000gns out of the O'Meara yard for which he won three times, the latest over 1m2f at Ripon in June; well held at York since then; unraced over this far which is a worry. |

26th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 15 races to June 2023 but he's been a good third on his last two starts and can be thereabouts once more. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Posted sound effort when placed off today's mark at Haydock (1m, good) last month but remains without a win since June 2023, and the faster ground here may not be ideal; not the percentage call. |
6/1 |
|
7 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Some encouraging efforts off a reduced mark this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ayr winner in July (1m, good to firm) and solid runs since then off today's 5lb higher mark, finishing just ahead of Milteye (Walsingham further back) on his return to Ayr and then beating all bar a Prescott 3yo on the AW; hard to knock. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Gained his seventh success when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in July and ran another solid race there last month off the same mark as today's; respected but he is yet to win off a mark this high. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Kept on well for a seventh career success over C&D 19 days ago but he's gone back up 5lb and has never won anything better than a Class 5; others preferred. |

Broke his duck at the third attempt in this code in a Southwell maiden (1m, Tapeta) latest; going the right way and showed up well over C&D on his penultimate start; initial mark keeps the door open for another big effort. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown most of his AW form at Newcastle; made the frame in last three outings; on a two-year losing spell but has the ability to play a big role, provided he's as effective back at Southwell. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has loads of C&D form, including a success in this contest in 2024 and second-place finishes the last twice, beaten 1l by Bajan Bandit latest occasion; solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On lengthy losing run but his last four wins have been over C&D and he went close behind Walk On Walk On here (2-1 favourite) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher and he's a big player again. |
9/4 |
