16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight C&D wins, the most recent off current mark in August; not in the same form since and was behind a few of today's rivals last time. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |
33/1 |

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

2lb lower than the mark he defied at Sandown last August but that's for a reason; remains best watched. |

7th 9 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins over C&D but his mark suffered after a comfortable win at Sandown (1m, good) around a year ago; handicapper's releasing his grip and last time's fifth at Ffos Las was a step in the right direction, however; might go well. |
12/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over this trip last year, twice from the front on turf, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; well held in two runs back but this is less competitive under Billy Loughnane and he may well be able to get his own way in this smaller field; possibilities if so. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who ran well when third on the AW here (1m2f) in April; however, following wind surgery she was tailed off at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and it's hard to be hopeful after that. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Confined to the AW since debut run at Yarmouth; 1m2f novice winner and mostly consistent; beaten under 3l at Lingfield last time and that was after three months off; had another break since, and wind surgery; softening ground a grey area. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
10th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 1-6 in her first season last year, the win in Newcastle novice event (1m2f); non-stayer over 1m4f on final outing; drop back in trip and booking of Rossa Ryan are positives. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Had a productive spell between last autumn and this spring, winning four times; subsequent defeats can be excused for one reason or another; however, needs a career best to defy current mark in this field. |
25/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer; in better forrm than his figures might suggest and he is only 2lb higher than when dominating a Class 3, albeit a weak one, at Lingfield in May; one of two runners for Tony Carroll. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Made all in a 0-95 at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) in May off a 3lb lower mark than today's but he did too much too soon over 1m2f at Sandown two months ago; dropping back in trip should suit this C&D winner. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner; having dropped down the weights he ran a fine race when second at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) for Toby Moore last month; back up 2lb; stable also runs Gone Rogue and Inspectre. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 10 (12) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has plenty of respectable form at Goodwood, including 2l second off 9lb higher in this race last year; less convincing on 2026 efforts but has a good chance if proving resurgent. |
9/1 |

5th 9 (8) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |

Very up and down in ten races for Richard Hughes but did win over Bath's 1m on soft ground in October (2lb lower); could go well back from a break with rain about. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to turf in excellent form in spring, winning four in row (1m2f-1m4f) for Tony Carroll; signed off for that stable with respectable run (under Brodie Hampson) last month but may find others better treated here. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Reeled off a four-timer in May/June (1m2f-1m4f on ground ranging from good to soft to good to firm); those wins came at Class 6 level and she has been beaten twice in a higher grade since; 12lb higher than when winning this race in 2024; cheekpieces back on for the first time since February. |

4th 1 (2) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Retains plenty of vitality aged eight but completed his May/June four-timer in Class 6 and was soundly beaten when back up in grade last time; current mark leaves him in a difficult spot. |

Won six times on the Flat for James Owen between 1m-1m2f; 0-4 over hurdles although he was in the process of running a good race until making a costly error two out on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) in June; makes stable debut and should run well. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual C&D scorer for Daniel Steele; off two months, made a promising start for new yard with third of 13 in 1m2f classified event here 16 days ago, fading only late on having taken strong hold; big shout dropped back to optimum trip now. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 11 (7) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has form over this sort of trip in the past but mainly campaigned at shorter in recent times; not at his best on final two runs for Daniel Steele but he starts out for the Moores (same owners) in a weak race and he has the raw ability to play a starring role. |
7/2 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard-puller who ran below par in first-time cheekpieces (off tonight) last time; previously consistent at this sort of level but will need to settle better back up in trip after a six-week break. |
