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. |

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. |

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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has won four of his 11 races, the latest by 6l at Goodwood in May (1m2f, good; made all); hit with a 12lb rise for that and below par since; stays 1m4f, has been dropped 4lb and tongue-tie now tried; bit to prove. |
11/2 |

14th 5 (14) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Acts on good to firm; effective with varied tactics and easily made all on his reappearance over C&D (good; 10lb higher today) in May; needs to bounce back from a poor show when never dangerous at just 7-1 for a top 1m2f handicap at York 17 days ago. |
6/1 |
|
17th 3 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins in light campaign last season (1m2f/1m4f, good to firm/good) and he easily made all on his reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May; has a 12lb rise to contend with in this hotter race but it remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies; top yard has won this race three times. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Broadly consistent on turf this term and soft ground provides an excuse for form-dip last time; 0-13 in handicaps but now returns to the scene of his novice win; this may be the time to catch him. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Novice winner who has been paying his way in defeat in handicaps; wasn't helped by a dawdling pace last time at Sandown (1m); good or fast ground is fine, but slower would be an unknown. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four good runs this season, the latest a close second at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; went up 3lb for that but the form was boosted when the winner followed up on Friday; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Improved with each of her three runs in maiden company, winning over 1m1f in May (good to firm); not seen to best effect on her handicap debut at Redcar six weeks ago; cheekpieces now added. |
16/1 |
|

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Displayed a willing attitude, taking a step forward to get off the mark at Lingfield (1m1f fillies' maiden, good; second & sixth have won since); switches to handicapping at an appropriate level, with the possibility of further improvement to come; one to consider. |
9/4 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
20th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Promise on her debut here (1m, AW) in March and she took a good step forward when third of eight at Goodwood on her turf debut 17 days ago; still green there but made some stealthy late headway, leaving the impression this trip would suit; can progress again. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Upped to 1m2f for wins when favourite at Chelmsford (AW) and Redcar (good to firm) on last two outings; up another 5lb and 1m1f may not help, so strongly did he stay on last time, but he is progressing well and has just two to beat; the hat-trick beckons. |
2/5 |

5 (5) |
20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent; stepped up in trip, duly obliging at Chelmsford (1m2f Class 5; 85-40 favourite) a fortnight ago; reverts to turf with more improvement necessary (in this higher grade) to double up from a 4lb higher mark; it's possible that the task is achievable though; merits respect. |
3/1 |
|
6 (4) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the frame on both appearances since his underwhelming seasonal/handicap debut in April; needs to find something extra to open his account today but the move up from about 1m may unlock some improvement. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row before filling the same position over C&D (soft) 11 days ago, behind Empirestateofmind; soundly beaten at Hamilton (1m1f, heavy) two days later but that may have come too soon; in the mix if bouncing back. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 4yo maiden whose turn may be near, having finished a good second in last three starts, latest when 1l behind Empirestateofmind at Ayr (1m, soft; clear of remainder) on Friday; gets a 4lb pull with that rival; solid chance. |
100/30 |

2nd 8 (10) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
No wins in 15 but bang there in his last three races, at 1m1f and 1m2f; handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere so has to be considered. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins (three on AW) have been at 7f but he ran with plenty of credit when fourth of ten at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) ten days ago; this trip may suit him even better and he makes the shortlist. |
4/1 |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have been at 7f but he finished well out wide when a close third at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) two weeks ago; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix off an unchanged mark. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
All four wins have been over 7f for other yards; missed the break when favourite at Redcar (1m2f, good) 12 days ago, drops in grade on a career-low mark and may be worth another chance. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Made a decent start when chasing home a smart rival at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February; has failed to better that, unable to work his way into contention at Thirsk (1m4f; handicap debut) latest; visor newly applied seeking a spark; back in trip from a 2lb lower mark. |

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Frankel colt who is a half-brother to a middle-distance winner; no progress in three novice/maiden events this year but it's still early days and he's a possible improver now upped to 1m4f on handicap debut; stablemate of Arkinthestars. |
