19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice at around 1m on turf last year; ended that campaign with two lesser efforts and he hasn't found his best in three runs this year; opposable despite his slipping mark. |
20/1 |
|
13th 4 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Last year's wins were at about 1m and hasn't raced over 7f since his debut; quiet this season after a gelding operation and others appeal more; cheekpieces, in which he has form figures of 100, now return. |
25/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner last August (good ground; cheekpieces first time); three heavy defeats have followed and he comes here with plenty to prove. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and York (7f, good) in May and he went close in his hat-trick bid at Epsom the following month; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's gone off the boil in last two runs and needs to rediscover his spark. |
12/1 |
|
10th 15 (9) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
He has taken it up a notch this season, winning at Windsor (1m, good to firm; made most) in May and beating 21 others under a penalty at York (7f, good) eight days later; fine second to Colombier at Epsom next time and his latest fifth in valuable Curragh handicap (1m) was respectable; has to be of interest again. |
16/1 |

5th 6 (5) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Progressive British raider arrives in excellent form; notched up successive handicap wins at Windsor (1m, gd-fm) and York (7f, good) and another fine effort on latest at Epsom (7f, gd-sft) when a neck runner-up off 85; 5lb higher here so will need to improve again but that's not impossible; top rider booked. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded before winning at Windsor (good to firm) last May and finished that season with further wins at Sandown (also 1m, soft) and Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm); on the premises when he suffered chance-ending interference at Newbury last time and this tactically versatile sort is well drawn to sit handy; interesting. |
13/2 |
|
5th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won three of his seven handicaps (1m-1m1f) last term, including the last two; just fourth of 13 to Spanish Voice when favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but that was respectable; player on peak 2025 effort. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a roll when last seen, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) and on this course (1m1f, good to firm) in second half of last season; that form looks solid and he's been nudged up only 3lb for the second success; leading claims if ready to roll after seven months off. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Upped to 1m2f for wins when favourite at Chelmsford (AW) and Redcar (good to firm) on last two outings; up another 5lb and 1m1f may not help, so strongly did he stay on last time, but he is progressing well and has just two to beat; the hat-trick beckons. |
2/5 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent; stepped up in trip, duly obliging at Chelmsford (1m2f Class 5; 85-40 favourite) a fortnight ago; reverts to turf with more improvement necessary (in this higher grade) to double up from a 4lb higher mark; it's possible that the task is achievable though; merits respect. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the frame on both appearances since his underwhelming seasonal/handicap debut in April; needs to find something extra to open his account today but the move up from about 1m may unlock some improvement. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last July who's never run on the AW off a mark quite this high (been in good form on turf lately, including a Nottingham win off 5lb lower); needs to find a bit more again. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
AW Flat winner at 1m; in the frame in three juvenile hurdles in the autumn but was treading water when finishing remote on handicap debut at Windsor (2m, good) recently and the step up in trip has to be a query. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; weakened into well-held fourth on recent hurdling debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but some positives can be drawn from that performance and he may have learnt from the experience. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |

1m AW maiden winner 12 months ago; also placed on first run of this year but has regressed since; blinkers did nothing last time, albeit on heavy ground (1m3f); bit risky on this hurdling debut. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Runner-up in a Southwell novice in January when with James Ferguson; rather disappointing on turf since; on a good mark back on the AW; could run well. |
8/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seven-race maiden but with less to prove than some of these after finishing well for second over this far in a Ffos Las handicap three weeks ago (good to soft; unraced on slower); should be in the thick of it off the same mark. |
5/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Promising runner-up on AW (1m) in January but she hasn't looked to be crying out for a step up in trip in the meantime and others have less to prove stamina-wise. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A two-time scorer (including over C&D) for Michael Appleby last summer; well below par for his present handler this season, however, and he failed to beat a rival in 1m Pontefract handicap last time. |
20/1 |

9th 5 (10) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Won twice over 7f this time last year for Mick Appleby and is 8lb lower than when successful at Ascot on the second occasion, but six starts for this yard so far this year leave plenty to be desired; others safer. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Best efforts were in maiden/novice company over 7f on the AW last autumn; has been a bit disappointing in handicaps this season, pulling too hard last time; bit to prove. |
16/1 |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of promise last year over 7f but hasn't kicked on at all in handicaps at about 1m; has to turn a corner, though this could be more her trip. |

7th 5 (4) |
10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promise as a 2yo but she has finished down the field in two handicap runs at around a mile this summer; others appeal more. |
