8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins over C&D in the spring, but last two efforts (albeit in warmer company) leave something to be desired; widest stall to contend with. |

Campaigned mostly at shorter; scored three times over 7f at Kempton in the spring; below par over C&D on penultimate outing and has something to prove back at 1m. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Useful on his day and is a stone below last winning mark but looks far from sure to take advantage, having failed to beat a rival in latest start; yet to score on AW. |
14/1 |
|
6 (11) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
7-36 on turf and 0-15 on the AW, albeit in the frame on 12 occasions; 2lb lower than when chasing home Al Ameen over C&D in May, but has a high draw so others are preferred for win purposes. |
12/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Patchy form since last win over a year ago and cheekpeices now replaced by first-time visor; edging down the weights but may find one or two too good from double-figure draw. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to settle and proved disappointing last time when bidding for AW hat-trick; effective in this sphere and may rebound, especially if the ground is optimal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Back to something approaching his best this summer, winning handicaps at Newcastle (1m) and here (7f) on his last two starts; well drawn to attack but a 5lb penalty could scupper his hat-trick bid. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (11) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Added to his five turf wins when making all to beat 13 rivals at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; 5lb higher from wide draw here but he still looks on a workable mark and is lightly raced on AW; respected back in trip. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who won off this mark on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) last month; two reasonable performances have followed (1m/1m2f, good to firm/good) but he needs something extra to come out on top today. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has been around the block and mostly seen on the AW these days; he did win on debut for this yard at Ripon (1m, good; by a head) but then finished last at Sandown four days ago; unplaced in one previous run here. |
11/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Probably better known for his AW exploits nowadays but he led close home to cause 28-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Ripon (1m, good), his ninth career success; nudged up only 1lb for that and is a rare runner here for his Middleham-based trainer; respected. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |

Both turf wins have come at Doncaster where he beat only one home last time out (7f, good); that was his fourth disappointing run in succession. |
20/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |
9/1 |
|
19th 16 (19) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only turf win was in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) for Jane Chapple-Hyam in October 2023; however, he has run two sound races to be placed at Ayr on last two starts (7f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance. |
10/1 |
|
10 (1) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last year; promising efforts over C&D and at Yarmouth (both on soft) last month but he found things happening too quickly on good to firm ground over C&D on Monday; blinkers now replaced by a new visor. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (2) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-time winner who scored at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in Janaury but he's not got involved in his last three starts; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent record round here (2-4 over C&D) and is back on the mark off which he won here in January; not in the same form of late, there's always a chance he'll blow the start and it's no certainty the race will be set up for him. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who gained his sixth success on the AW at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; didn't quite see 1m out when sixth there in February and he never featured in a 0-105 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago; will appreciate the drop in grade but he'll want a good gallop to aim at over this shorter trip. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Usually seen over further but he goes well on slow ground and is only 1lb higher than for his big-field win at York last summer (7f, good to soft); big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
12/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All three wins have come at this track over 7f; having dropped down the weights he made a pleasing stable debut at Ffos Las (6f, good) last month; of interest back at Kempton and with Billy Loughnane booked. |
5/2 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins came over 7f at Kempton AW in 2024 when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy; has had no success with Edward Smyth-Osbourne since and makes stable debut for shrewd yard off a career-low mark; market will be best guide. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Rated much higher when joining this yard in autumn 2024; remained consistent enough off a sliding mark during the winter but needs more if he's to snap the losing run. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins when trained by Hugo Palmer; now finding it difficult to get his head in front and has dropped to a career-low mark; may get in the firing line but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in September 2024 but that was off 19lb higher at Chester, and he ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still lightly raced on turf and has possibilities if he handles the conditions back in this sphere (best form has been on soft ground). |

Won at Kempton (7f, AW) in February and has a lower turf mark; however, well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Ascot, and this 9yo is now 0-23 on grass; others are preferred. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Without a victory since 2024 and he was retried in a visor when beating one in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; blinkers and tongue-strap are fitted here. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his old form but last win was over two years ago and he's been out of sorts this season; this drop back in trip is no problem but he needs a major revival; visor reapplied. |

18th 10 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run stretches back over two years; best effort this year when fifth of eight over 7f at Goodwood (soft) on Sunday, but he'll need more if he's to exploit his reduced mark. |
