28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Nicely treated, having gained sole handicap win (1m, soft) off 3lb higher; best efforts this term when runner-up on three occasions, including in first-time cheekpieces at Chester latest start; possibilities if suited by the switch to visor. |

2nd 3 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner; a mixed bag this season but has dipped to a dangerous mark and always a chance that cheekpieces could have a desired effect; ideally he'd prefer a tad further. |

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. |

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. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner in April and he was only just denied here last month when running over 7f for the first time since his debut; failed to beat a rival home at Sandown (7f, good to soft) last time but makes plenty of appeal returned to 1m at this track. |
15/2 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Triple winner (turf/AW), who got back on track with a near miss over 7f at Kempton (Polytrack) last month; back up 2lb in the weights, but he was as good as ever last time and is respected back in this sphere. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m win here in June when rated 1lb higher; not beaten far here on his last two starts but he was slightly disappointing when a well-supported favourite on the second occasion. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent on turf but usually gives his running round here, as when third to Sunriseontheboyne as favourite on Wednesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to at least close the gap, with neither likely to be hindered by the return to 7f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
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. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily regressive 4yo who is yet to add to his two 2yo wins; ran fairly well when fourth on last two outings, latterly over C&D in refitted cheekpieces, but others in this field have more appealing profiles. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
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. |

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 |
|
9 (4) |
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. |
