2nd 5 (14) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
String of consistent efforts this summer, latterly when beaten on the nod at Wolverhampton last weekend; only 1lb higher and hard to knock out of the equation, but stall 14 isn't ideal for one happiest on the sharp end. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
3yo who has seen plenty of action but he's unexposed on AW; won at Doncaster and Redcar this summer and he's finished runner-up on Polytrack and turf in last two starts; his latest run was just three days ago but that was a bold bid in a Class 4 event (6f, good) and he's respected on this drop back in grade. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a first success at Doncaster (6f) in July and added to it over C&D in August; posted another good effort with second of seven in 6f AW handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago; must enter calculations again nudged up 1lb. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
No problem with soft ground and he returns to Class 5 after two defeats at a higher level; only 3lb higher than for his front-running win at Thirsk (6f, good) in June; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Returned to form when making all at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but he failed to back that up in a Silver Cup trial at Ayr last month; that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |
|
16th 17 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about. |

6th 5 (6) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; held on for third after blasting off in front at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in July but was safely held when dropped back to 6f last month; makes AW debut today; others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Six-race maiden; refused to settle and built up a clear lead at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, but was caught inside the final furlong and finished third of eight; there was plenty of encouragement to be taken from that effort and he should be suited by the drop back in trip. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
All races at 5f and he hasn't achieved much in either handicap, for previous yard and this one; some encouragement in pedigree for a step up in trip but probably best watched even so. |

13th 14 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
3-10 on AW compared to 1-8 on turf but the turf win came on latest start and taking that six-runner race at Chester (5f, good to soft; made all under Jack Nicholls) by 2l was career-best form on his fourth start for current yard; 6lb higher today but did it in good style. |
16/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Never dangerous but did keep on steadily for fourth over C&D (good ground) four weeks ago; something to prove on slower than good. |
8/1 |
|
4th 11 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three 5f wins on AW for previous yards; ran well for a long way over C&D in May on debut for this stable and faced a tough task at Epsom's Derby meeting; couldn't dismiss from his handy draw. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from break with two underwhelming 7f turf runs last month and is now 0-12 but might have needed the first outing and the ground was heavy last time; returns to Tapeta on a good mark; might fare better this time. |
13/2 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-11 but he's on a handy mark judged on his form early this year and he may have needed the outing when mid-division at Redcar (7f, good) three weeks ago following a five-month break; has shown some promise on soft ground; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
7th 11 (16) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to win in ten runs, but placed on five occasions, including last time when third at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; also a close third off this mark at Newcastle the time before; possibilities if he's ready to go after a break. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who didn't reappear until last month and there was some encouragement in her Listed fifth at York (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago on her second start back; beaten a neck in 6f Group 3 here (6f, soft) 12 months ago before Listed win at Doncaster (6f, heavy), and the more rain the better. |
25/1 |
|
5th 9 (4) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Her two wins as a 2yo came on testing ground; well beaten in a 7f handicap here 17 days ago on her return to action; not easily recommended. |
33/1 |
|
17th 4 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Best efforts have been on soft/heavy ground, including when going close in a Group 3 at Ayr (6f) last September and winning a Listed contest at Doncaster (6f) when last seen 299 days ago; has since had wind surgery and steps up to 7f for her reappearance; pedigree suggests she'll stay but she may need this return to action. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Three times runner-up in maiden and novice races (5f-6f); beaten about 7l in her two handicaps (6f) and now returns from another lengthy break; same connections as Arnaz. |
14/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Solid debut over C&D this time last year but hasn't built on it, pulling hard a couple of times; absent for five months since an ordinary handicap debut at Southwell; others make more appeal. |
12/1 |
|
7 (4) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
£72,000 breeze-up buy; sister to a Listed 5f/6f winner; showed plenty of promise when 0.5l clear second of five in a Wolverhampton novice on debut (6f); should go well again. |
