30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Possible to excuse his last two efforts and was running well in defeat before that; 2lb lower than when successful at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year and, with the likely conditions not an issue, he makes the shortlist. |
7/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fairly useful 1m winner in 2025; back on track when runner-up in handicaps (around 1m) at Thirsk and Epsom this summer but only eighth at Sandown (1m) last time; needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Back in form and threatening to regain the winning thread, having finished a creditable second in last two starts, latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day; back up another 2lb but can't be ruled out. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Belatedly confirmed his debut promise when running away with maiden at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on reappearance, clocking a good time in the process; he was well backed that day and looks open to further improvement now tackling a handicap; might be the answer. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Similar type to Hot Cash, having been successful on most recent start in this grade (8.5f, AW); however, looks harshly handicapped, being 5lb higher than last attempt on turf. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
3yo who made it three wins from his nine starts when taking a Racing League event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; very disappointing in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Thursday and needs to bounce back swiftly, but he's not discounted in view of previous promise. |
12/1 |

9 (14) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |

His first win at around a mile when beating 12 rivals with some comfort in a Racing League handicap at Wolverhampton; effectively only 2lb higher with Jack Nicholls taking off 5lb. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins include one here (1m) in April off a 2lb lower mark; below that level on turf in two starts since and drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut, which would be a concern. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins this year came on the AW, but his sole turf win came over this trip on good to firm ground; may be best to forgive his latest Chester performance and a possible if back on song. |
10/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Windsor maiden winner on turf last April but he's been confined to AW for all six starts this year; gets a 3lb nudge for his win at Kempton (1m) last time; 1m2f no issue but this is a notch above the standard he usually plies his trade in. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
6th 8 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m) in June but he has failed to reproduce it in three turf outings since and came in last of 11 at Haydock (7f) eight days ago; others are much preferred. |
25/1 |
|
11th 4 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won on turf last April and snapped long losing run at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June; however, well beaten back on turf on his last two starts and he needs to turn things around. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins on soft/heavy ground over 7f in 2024; quite inconsistent since but did run respectably when fourth of 12 at Brighton (1m, good) 23 days ago; cheekpieces back on. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but is well treated on his best form and drops into a 0-70 for the first time; worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All 12 runs have been on turf including three consecutive wins over 7f/1m (good/good to firm) in May and June of last year; right out of form in final three runs last season but he's got back on track this spring and was only beaten a nose at Chester (10.3f) last month; nudged up 2lb but he was clear of the third last time and is still unexposed at this trip; big player. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 12 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm in May and June last year; right out of form in August/September but reappearance fourth at Epsom (8.5f) nine days ago was a step back in the right direction; looks bred for 1m2f (has had one attempt) but may need a career best. |
11/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 7f/1m on good/good to firm across May and June last year; form tailed off markedly from August onwards but he returns just 2lb above his last winning mark; market support would bring him into the picture. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has some encouraging form, notably close second over C&D (Class 5) on penultimate start; the only maiden in this field and steps up in grade but receives plenty of weight all round; could go well. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
0-7 but he's had only three starts for this stable; ran well to split two more prominently ridden rivals at Southwell (7f, AW) in August and did his best work late on when third of 11 in a Class 4 at Ayr (7f, soft) latest; strong claims with the return to 1m likely to suit on switch back to AW. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Record is only 1-15 and it's 15 months since the win; however, has clear possibilities on these terms switched to a seller, provided he takes well to added blinkers. |
5/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Bumped into one at Haydock and his subsequent flop as favourite can be ignored, with him said to have pulled too hard on soft ground; this mark ought to be within range. |
8/1 |
|
4 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Reduced mark and showed signs of a return to form in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ffos Las in June; duly stepped up when second of 12 at Haydock (7f, good) last month; back up 3lb and another for the shortlist. |
