Decent AW record in Britain; struggled here and on turf for Ger O'Leary; back on a good mark nowadays and was claimed after Laytown second over 6f. |

2nd 2 (2) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Progressive in the first half of last year for George Boughey before being sold for 21,000gns in the autumn; has struggled in Ireland this year; sent off odds-on when third of five at Brighton on latest in first-time visor; needs to pull out more but respected in this company. |

Progressive in the first half of last year for George Boughey before being sold for 21,000gns in the autumn; has struggled in Ireland this year but was well backed last time and the booking of Billy Loughnane draws the eye with first-time visor added. |

Disappointed at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) last month and had a wind operation three days later; has won over 6f but possible 7f suits better. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over C&D on his seasonal/stable debut in April off a 2lb lower mark; similar form when fourth of ten here 81 days ago; can go well fresh and he is one to take seriously. |

7f winner at Brighton in spring but soundly beaten on last two starts and she has something to prove back on AW. |
16/1 |

7 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced at 1m and ran poorly on final appearance in June (6f); take away that effort and she had done well in 7f handicaps, beating three rivals here and then close up at Salisbury in a race that's worked out; also goes well fresh. |
15/2 |
|
10th 5 (10) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better since handicapping on turf, improving a touch on her small-field Brighton win when a close third in a Salisbury handicap that's working out well; no issues with 7f, though, and needs more again back down to sprinting. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Free-going filly; on a handy mark but dropping back to 7f didn't help at Yarmouth last month and she may prove vulnerable in the closing stages once again. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 (13) |
30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Free-goer who ran big race from the front when second over 1m here (good) in May; not seen to same effect over 1m2f on next two outings but this drop back to 7f is an interesting move. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Free-goer who won over 1m for Andrew Balding last summer and looked back in good nick when running big race in defeat over that trip here (good to firm) in May; refused to settle and came last of five (albeit not beaten that far) when upped to 1m2f at Lingfield in June, though, and remains risky over this trip. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins were AW last year; sparked only once this summer but that close call at Brighton (1m) last month means he cannot be totally ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who has finished runner-up in two of his last four starts including a close call at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month; on same mark back on AW and he's respected on this drop back in trip. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 7f AW winner in second half of last year but returned from layoff with two low-key turf runs in June/July (7f/7.3f); on a good mark now and might have untapped potential over 1m but others in this line-up have less to prove. |

9st 6lb |
Not particularly solid on his AW form (at up to 9.5f) for current stable; gained sole win on turf (6f; off 3lb higher) but has something to prove over this new trip. |

7th 7 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

6f win for George Scott on turf last summer; edging down the weights for current stable while suggesting he retains a fair level of ability; Rossa Ryan replaces an apprentice this time; not discounted. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; runner-up in a handicap at Kempton (7f, AW) in June and ran to a similar level when beaten in a match race over that same C&D 27 days ago; drops to 6f for the first time since her debut with tongue-tie applied. |

Modest third in maiden event last time, taking record to 0-7; best form when runner-up twice, including in C&D handicap (behind subsequent scorer) on penultimate start; second best on ratings. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Got off the mark at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; showed the benefit of wind surgery when showing improved form when beaten a head by an unexposed sort at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; looks sure to go close. |
11/4 |
|
9 (5) |
17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Infrequent winner but he is effective on Tapeta and has undergone wind surgery since his latest start; not ruled out. |

9th 8 (7) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only one win (14 races) but that 1m handicap in June was at this track; ran respectably next time and rallied into a close fourth of five for slowly run race on latest; needs to find extra but his tongue-tie (worn two and three starts back) is restored and new trip now looks worth a go. |

Struggled in three 2yo runs and same story at biggish prices in both handicaps (7f/6f, good to firm) this season; dropped another 3lb but can only be watched until she shows some promising signs. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who rallied well when beating Aphrodite Spirit at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month but she came up short when favourite in a seller at Goodwood (1m3f, soft) last time; needs to step up again after that and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 44y Class 3 |

Has been running well in 1m2f/1m4f handicaps and showed a willing attitude to edge home on the AW last Wednesday; solid chance, though wouldn't be certain to appreciate softening ground. |
