15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Better than ever on last two starts when winning comfortably at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) and a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, soft); ground firmer than good would be a concern. |

Comfortably prevailed at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) last time but is no certainty to follow up, having done all his winning in Scotland; on a career-high mark. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Ran well to finish third off a sliding mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good) in May but he was disappointing when favourite at Beverley (1m2f) last time; has bit to prove again after that and he's now 0-13. |
12/1 |

8th 1 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

12-race maiden; creditable third to a pair of subsequent winners at Carlisle last time (1m1f, good); conditions suit; should go well. |

3rd 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
No shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last three starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well to be placed at Southwell (1m4f, AW) and York (1m4f, good to soft); came from an unpromising position on those last two outings (from last of 16 last time, which asked a lot) and he'll be a major threat to all if he stays on this first attempt at this sort of trip; stamina is the question. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (14) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but unraced on soft since 2024 (trained was positive about it last September); no shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last two starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well again for second at Southwell (1m4f, AW); raised another 3lb but came from an unpromising position last time and still has more to give. |
14/1 |

2nd 10 (8) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Five wins since July last year including one over 1m4f here; cheekpieces seemed to work well at York (1m2f, good) last time and a player in his hat-trick bid despite a 6lb rise. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden; 1m2f may have stretched her on last two starts but connections also now reach for first-time headgear; 10lb lower than on reappearance and a form case can be made. |
10/1 |
|
4 (1) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent at 7f to about 1m when the ground has been good or quicker; good to soft probably didn't help when upped to 1m2f at Newmarket last month when never in contention so the stamina question remains unresolved. |
7/1 |
|
3 (6) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed form since a promising second on debut last summer, and she faded into third when odds-on for maiden at Ripon (1m, good) 12 days ago; now moves up in distance and she's not sure to stay judged on her pedigree. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Weakened into sixth after making the running in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Redcar (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and now 0-15 but drops from 0-70 grade here and can't be ruled out off latest career-low mark. |
9/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
No wins in 14 but runner-up on three occasions and penultimate effort (1m2f) was encouraging; could go well if reacting positively to new cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden but he has finished runner-up three times; mostly disappointing this year but it was a respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft; Idyllic was second) last time; this extra furlong doesn't look sure to suit, however. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
7f is his trip but he doesn't arrive in the best of form and he's unproven on the AW (down the field only attempt); carries risks. |
14/1 |

8th 8 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins over 7f at Ayr on good and good to firm; nearly all his best form is on those surfaces and has work to do on the form of just two 6f handicaps in Britain. |
20/1 |
|
6th 9 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
All three of his wins have come at Ayr (7f) in Class 5 company; he is effective elsewhere though and his latest Musselburgh fifth can be upgraded a touch as he saw little daylight in the home straight; others preferred for win purposes all the same. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Well handicapped on her best 2yo form but she's finished down the field in four runs this season, including when last of four at Hamilton (1m3f, good) last week; cheekpieces are now added and she needs to raise her game back in trip. |
10/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |

Of interest on her 2yo best but has failed to make a significant impact in handicaps this year, including seventh of nine over the extended 1m here last week; it remains to be seen whether this longer distance helps. |
6/1 |

7th 3 (9) |

Ex-Richard Fahey; won a Hamilton maiden on debut last season (6f, good to firm); has been mainly disappointing since, including on both starts for this yard (pulled up over hurdles on first occasion); plenty to prove. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 6f maiden at Hamilton on his 2yo debut but he struggled in five further runs for Richard Fahey; 66-1 when pulled up on his hurdle/stable debut at Cartmel three weeks ago; plenty to prove. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well beaten on his last two starts, over C&D (soft) most recently, but he has a good record here and he won at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) three starts ago; also effective on slow ground; not discounted. |
11/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Plenty of good efforts since the blinkers went on, including an all-the-way win over C&D (good to firm; acts on soft) in June; also made all over 1m1f at Musselburgh towards the end of August and it may be worth forgiving a lesser effort at Carlisle last week after a slowish start meant he was unable to take up his usual front-running role (also pulled too hard); C&D form figures of 23122 earn him a place on the shortlist. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (4) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He was gaining his second win of the summer when making all in a 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 16 days ago; up 3lb but won't mind what the weather does and he'll be fine back at 7f; high on the list. |
