30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from three-month break with pretty good second behind Von Krolock at Lingfield (6f, AW; first run after wind op) 12 days ago; remains well handicapped and will be fine back on turf; must be considered. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won 6f maiden on Chelmsford Polytrack as a 2yo and he looked a useful prospect when winning a 6f handicap at Newmarket in May 2025; however, he's had more horses in front of him than behind ever since and wind surgery (his second) since last seen in May needs to have made a big difference. |
9/2 |

7th 5 (10) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Last win was at Newmarket in May 2025 off 11lb higher; only sixth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago when 6-4 favourite; steps back up in trip and is so well handicapped on old form that he must be considered. |

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 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good. |

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. |
8/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Consistent maiden who was no worse for the hood going on when fourth at Salisbury (6f); she would have been closer with a clearer run. |
15/2 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
A maiden after nine starts but all three runs this season have been respectable, and she appeared not to use her energy efficiently when a weakening sixth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time; hooded for first time here; enters calculations. |
8/1 |
|
6th 9 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Eight-race maiden who is still to improve on her debut effort two years ago; not beaten far in two Class 6 handicaps this year but this demands more. |

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. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning a 0-55 AW handicap run to suit round Lingfield last time; upped 6lb but was competitive off higher marks on turf last summer and that win may have boosted confidence. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

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. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Just 1-18 on turf and is hard to predict but he finished a fair third over this trip at Brighton (good to firm) last Sunday; could be dangerous if he can back that up but he still has something to prove on slow ground. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won three 7f handicaps last season; generally underperformed in 2026 but his Newmarket fourth in June came off a 4lb higher mark; change of headgear today. |
14/1 |

11th 2 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins last year, two on the AW (2-4 on sand); good fourth of ten at Newmarket (7f, good) in June but he's been below his best in two starts since; may do better returned to this surface. |

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. |

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

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. |

6/1 |
|
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 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Off the mark for Michael Dods when finishing off strongly in a 7f AW handicap in March; only 1lb higher today but he will need to step up on last month's return from a three-month break; ground query. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 7f here in March and not beaten far when fourth of seven at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May when last seen; however, he's returning from a three-month break and 7f is probably his optimum trip. |
15/2 |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |
