17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f here (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts since but hasn't been helping his cause with slow starts (also soon off bridle and detached latest); the much longer trip will allow him more time to catch up if doing something similar this afternoon but his ability to see it out has to be taken on trust. |

Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f at Ayr (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts back at Ayr twice since; this former course scorer enters calculations. |

Already a dual winner for current yard, going in over C&D in July; posted another solid effort with fourth of five over C&D last time; can't be discounted. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off a similar mark in this race for Charlie Hills last year; made a good start for new yard when third at Hamilton (1m1f) last month and he had another close call at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; usually races prominently and another bold bid is expected. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice for Charles Hills, including 1m2f on fast ground, and he ran well on his stable/seasonal debut at Hamilton last month (1m1f, good to firm), beaten around half a length into third (strong favourite); has races in him off this sort of mark but he could face competition for the lead here. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Four of his six wins have been at Chester, where he weakened into fifth last time out (reportedly lost a shoe); has a bit to prove right now. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Four of his six wins have been at Chester, including this race in 2023 in which he was also second last year to Spioradalta; dropped out on last month's comeback run at Windsor but entitled to have needed that, perhaps with this race in mind. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Four of his six wins have been at Chester where he nearly won again when last seen 11 months ago; trip/ground fine and on a fair mark, but market confidence would be welcomed after so long out. |

9st 11lb |
Odds-on win in Kempton maiden (1m, Polytrack) last September but she's not gone from that in three runs since including two handicaps (1m2f); still unexposed but she needs to raise her game with cheekpieces added back in trip. |
13/2 |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced as 2yo but had form figures of 313 in maiden/novice events at Kempton (1m, AW) last season; never involved on handicap/seasonal debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) but she made some promising late headway and wasn't beaten far; should be sharper this time and she still has untapped potential. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times on the Flat when trained by Ed Walker (1m-1m2f) and made all over hurdles at Bangor for this stable in June; however, he was beaten 4l when third of four at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) in July and is unproven over this far on the Flat. |

3rd 2 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not seen on the Flat since signing off for Ed Walker with narrow success in first-time blinkers at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in October but won a recent handicap hurdle for new connections (no headgear) and is unexposed over this sort of trip in this sphere. |
7/1 |

1st 1 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat when based with Ed Walker; well beaten on stable/hurdle debut in January but his next two runs were much more encouraging, and there is still hope that more of his Flat ability can be transferred to this discipline. |

Made the frame on first three turf starts this season but has not been in the same form since and this 8yo is nothing like the force of old; first AW run since 2024; others preferred. |

5th 1 (10) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up over this C&D in June; shaped better than the bare result at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) next time and didn't get home there last time over 11.5f after kicking clear; now 14lb below his last winning mark and he'll appreciate this drop back in trip. |
6/1 |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest defeat when sent off favourite here (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago wasn't quite as bad as it looks, but his losing run is now up to 20 and his best form has come over shorter. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four Flat wins, including two (1m2f-1m3f) for Ian Williams; runner-up in a Class 5 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; potential over hurdles in novice and maiden company back in 2024, so he could be interesting on handicap hurdle debut; first start for Olly Murphy. |

2nd 2 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Britain for current yard since winning twice in France; however, beaten 21l at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month following five-month layoff and lacks the scope of his rivals. |
20/1 |

9th 11 (11) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield in January; broke out of stalls and withdrawn at Kempton 11 days later (10-1 at the time); now returns to turf after a break but he's a dual winner in this sphere and is versatile ground-wise; possibilities. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Redcar in July (1m2f, good); hasn't built on that win in three runs since and hopes appear to rest on new headgear piquing his interest. |
10/1 |

8 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-2 on the AW but hasn't performed badly; it was over this trip when successful at Redcar in July (first-time cheekpieces; 3lb lower) and his subsequent fifths were fairly close ones; each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap (good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; held in fifth of 12 at Windsor last time but he was only beaten around 2l and that was a a creditable effort in a Racing League event; should go well again and he's in the mix. |
