7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Two 1m wins in May 2025, at Newmarket and Haydock (both on good), but he hasn't found his form since back in Britain in April, a further drop in the weights failing to produce more over this C&D in August. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

Won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 7lb below his last winning mark; however, hasn't produced an effort of note since returning to Britain after a stint at Meydan. |

12th 14 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |

Course winner who won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 4lb below his last winning mark; showed some spark at Meydan in January but hasn't shone in Britain on his two runs since and needs to turn things around. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Goes well here and won over C&D (good to firm) in May; now returns from a break after a rare below-par effort; has run well fresh in the past and he ought to make his presence felt. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

2nd 3 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Back to winning ways off this mark at Lingfield (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time) in April; he hasn't built on that and others may have his measure. |
14/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner who is familiar with stronger handicaps than this and he was beaten under 3l in a big field last time at Newbury (7f); won his last race at this level in May, over 1m and off the very same mark. |
7/1 |
|
8th 10 (13) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed the 12th win of his career (including one over C&D) at Newmarket (1m, good) in May but hasn't hit the same level in five subsequent runs; has dipped to 1lb above the mark he defied on the Rowley Mile but others arrive with more pressing claims. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|
6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |

5 (3) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Defied this mark over C&D last October but he's been up and down since and was laboured back at this track in August; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here off 2lb lower last October, his third over C&D; last month's Chester comeback from a short break should have brought him on and he holds each-way claims under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a good record for the yard. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
2-21 for Charlie Hills, well treated on the best of that form and not disgraced when tried in visor/cheekpieces in his three outings for new yard; all starts have been over 7f or 1m but there are bits of encouragement for 1m2f and he's crept down to a career-low mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner (7f/1m) who has posted some good efforts at this track, including when runner-up over this C&D in March off a 4lb higher mark; two solid runs since joining this stable and has to be considered with first-time visor replacing cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Useful 7f and 1m form in 2026, including when fifth in a higher grade at Sandown (first-time cheekpieces) in June on yard debut; however he's won just once in the last three years and although he showed useful form in a C&D novice as a 3yo, his AW runs since have come on Polytrack; shade to prove. |

Multiple winner who returned to form with a second at Ripon (1m, soft; fine on faster) but dropping back in trip doesn't look ideal when he's 0-5 over 7f (3-18 at 1m+) for this yard. |

8yo who is 0-10 this year but he was a good third here (7f, soft) last month and also ran well when runner-up off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) last Wednesday; might not be far away. |
15/2 |

4th 7 (7) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

3rd 8 (11) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His last win was 16 months ago but that was off 3lb higher at Newmarket (1m, good); held in fourth of ten on stable debut at Chelmsford (7-2) last month but he had to use up some energy to get a prominent position from a wide draw; looks worth another try at this trip and he's not ruled out on second run for James Owen; visor added. |

Lightly raced 5yo; ran well with blinkers added when close fourth at Doncaster (7f, good) in March but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs; still unexposed on turf but his profile is patchy and others are more convincing; first-time visor replaces blinkers. |
