11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has faced a few difficult tasks this summer and he proved resurgent when back down in grade at York (1m2f) last time; remains on same mark as when winning a spring event; beaten twice (fifth in 2024, down the field last year) in this race, however. |

Won at Pontefract back in the spring and ran well here in May, but the wheels have come off since then; has finished out the back here in last two races, behind stablemate Castle Stuart on both occasions. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; has registered a couple of Class 4 wins this term, including at Beverley (8.5f, heavy) latest start; back up in class but two attempts at this contest comprise a win (off 2lb higher) in 2024 and respectable fifth last year. |

1st 12 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended an 18-race losing run when beating three rivals at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran well when second of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; all his best form has come on good/good to firm ground, though. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Won four-runner handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month and close fourth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) next time; caught wide early and failed to settle when mid-division in competitive handicap at Haydock (1m, good) last Saturday so that run can be forgiven; not discounted. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Recorded the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 15 months ago; now 11lb lower but he's 0-11 since and has been out of sorts this season; has plenty to prove and slow starts have been an issue in three of his last four runs. |

Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 15 months ago; now 9lb lower but he's 0-10 since that last success and has been out of sorts this season; has bit to prove and he needs to break much better than last time. |

11st 5lb |
Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 14 months ago; now 8lb lower after some disappointing efforts but last time's fourth at Beverley in June could be viewed as a step back in the right direction. |

9st 11lb |
1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

Returned to winning form at Windsor (11.4f, soft) last month, but didn't shape as though he wanted a drop in trip when third of five at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) 17 days later; cheekpieces given a go. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected. |

9st 6lb |
Ended 2025 with a win at York (1m2f, good) and returned from 208 days off to win at Chester (10.3f, good) in May; not much has gone right since and he was disappointing in a seller last time; vulnerable. |

6th 2 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Gained a second C&D win in May but his more recent form is far less encouraging, beating just one in 1m2f York handicap 13 days ago; this is much easier though so he can't be discounted back here. |
6/1 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
With Irish stable since last summer and best Flat effort for them came on latest start when winning a 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (10.5f, AW); 2026 turf form is not far behind it but he needs a bit extra to win this. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 8lb |
Running okay without really threatening to win this season; not terrible efforts the last twice at the Curragh (1m2f, gd-fm) and on latest at Galway (1m4f, yld-sft) but probably needs a bit more help from the handicapper to get his head back in front. |
12/1 |

8th 8 (15) |
31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Ran poorly over hurdles at Listowel in May but last two runs on the Flat have been decent; 4l second of 10 at Leopardstown in early May (1m4f, good); 4.75l fourth of 12 at the Curragh 34 days ago; place claims off 1lb lower but needs to find a bit more to win. |

Made all at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June (final start for Ross Burdon) but has failed to beat a rival in three starts for Iain Jardine; the return to a softer surface may help but could only consider if lively in the betting. |

Spent nearly all of his long career with Ed Dunlop but lost his form in 2025 and has not staged a recovery in his two starts for new yard this term; well down the weights but others are more persuasive. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |
