5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f wins, on Polytrack and turf, but mixed record since the latter win in May 2025 and needs to improve for the return to Tapeta which is open to question, having not run on the surface since sole attempt last August. |

Both wins have come over 6f but his one 5f run wasn't without hope and he isn't on a bad mark; latest Yarmouth run wasn't his best though. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Win twice on soft turf for his previous stable but he's 0-6 since joining this yard, and was well beaten returned to the AW at Wolverhampton (6f) three weeks ago; first-time visor needs to make a difference. |
25/1 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced all five turf starts new stable this season (6f-7f) but hasn't been running that badly and continues to slip down the weights; Billy Loughnane is booked for this rare AW appearance; not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
6th 9 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Two turf wins, the latest a claimer at Leicester last October on final run for Eve Johnson Houghton; dropping down the weights but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to take advantage. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins at sprint trips and 7f in 2025; slow start for new yard in 2026 but he wasn't far away at Newmarket (6f, good) behind one who has won a better race since and he didn't do badly from off the pace on Wolverhampton AW since; needs a clear run run in this big field but has a squeak. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

The winner of four races in 2025 and now down to a dangerous mark; first encouraging signs for his new trainer came at Newmarket on Saturday; not discounted. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
12-race maiden; didn't get the clearest of passages at Windsor two starts ago and a sluggish start didn't help when fourth of eight at Bath (5.5f, good) 18 days ago; each-way contender if breaking on terms. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
11-race maiden who has looked in the handicapper's grip so far this year; can still make an impact off a reduced mark in this uncompetitive event. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained his first handicap win when too strong for nine rivals in a 0-55 over C&D in April; chance if back to that level but well beaten on his last two starts; risky but capable. |
8/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his winning tally when successful over C&D in April; twice unplaced on turf since and still 5lb higher than for that latest win, but still one for the shortlist returned here. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (9) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win came in a Lingfield maiden but he won his first AW race in April (6f) and has since run well in a slightly stronger race than this over C&D (good to firm); has other quite solid handicap form at this trip on grass and he should go well under up-and-coming Harry Vigors. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to add to his 2yo maiden win in 2024 and this year's form for new trainer has generally been disappointing; not the most obvious answer. |
50/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
1-30; well treated in the pick of last year's form, but his more recent efforts, including four for this yard, suggest a resurgence is needed. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate and his three runs for his new trainer haven't suggested he was primed to double his tally. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Never figured in Class 2 event last time when in deeper waters for hat-trick attempt after Class 4 wins at Epsom; slight drop back in grade removes some pressure, albeit the competition is plentiful. |
20/1 |
|
11th 13 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
He's 3lb out of the handicap for this hat-trick bid, with his two recent wins having come in single-figure fields at Epsom (7f, good to soft); he's back up in grade and on better ground and at a different track, but is obviously in good heart and is not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
He took advantage of a reduced mark when beating Silver Trumpet over C&D (good to soft) last Monday; didn't look to be totally handling the camber that day and effectively has a 4lb penalty to shoulder; still respected. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who's been tried in three forms of headgear and proved expensive to follow; a poor one as favourite at Lingfield (AW) last time leaves him something to prove under Oisin Murphy (8-37 for the yard). |
7/1 |
|
2 (5) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well when third of ten at Southwell on his handicap debut in February and he's dropped 7lb since that effort; that is with some justification, as he's been well short of that level in three runs since; needs a full revival with cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time. |

String of defeats at short prices since winning in a first-time hood on her stable debut last summer; quite capable if things fall her way but she hasn't always convinced. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came at Chester (7f, good; first-time hood) on her stable debut last July and she's posted some good efforts since, including at Brighton (1m) on her last two starts (carried head awkwardly latest); solid contender. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Sole success came at Chester (7f, good; first-time hood) just under a year ago but has finished runner-up in four of her seven starts since, the latest a narrow defeat over C&D (good) three weeks ago (third has won since); major player again from 1lb higher. |

10th 11 (10) |
16th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Only win and best form has been on the AW; wasn't beaten too far in his only handicap on grass and was just 3l away in two AW handicaps before hampered by a slow start last time; hold-up tactics might not be ideal here on quickening ground. |

Headstrong sort who has won just once from his 17 starts but runner-up three times this year, most recently going close at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; every chance he'll be in the mix once more. |
7/2 |

2nd 5 (1) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took nine races to win (5f, soft) for Brian Meehan and he's 0-8 for current yard, unplaced last four starts; often compromises his chance by racing freely but at least this is a weaker race than he's been contesting. |
9/4 |

7th 9 (3) |
6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

9st 7lb |
Doubled his tally on Southwell AW (7f) in March but he's not matched that form since and was always in rear at Thirsk three weeks ago; now 3lb lower than for his last win but he needs to revive back on Polytrack; cheekpieces added. |
14/1 |

11th 10 (1) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Doubled his tally on Southwell AW (7f) in March; not matched that form subsequently though and never threatened when ninth of 15 to The Childe Of Hale at Redcar (7f) five days ago; needs to take a step forward. |
