22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
C&D scorer; in very good form without winning until just sixth of eight in 6f Thirsk handicap last month; she's the sort to bounce back though. |
13/2 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins have been on good or slower ground but she's been knocking on the door in her last five runs including when runner-up on good to firm at Ayr last time; on unchanged mark and she should be in the thick of things again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Has won four times, including twice here (5f/6f), but ideally suited by some give in the ground; proving hard to win with this season, although has run creditably on last four starts (on good to firm on first occasion); each-way chance. |

Without a victory since 2024 and he was retried in a visor when beating one in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; blinkers and tongue-strap are fitted here. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his old form but last win was over two years ago and he's been out of sorts this season; this drop back in trip is no problem but he needs a major revival; visor reapplied. |
25/1 |
|
18th 10 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run stretches back over two years; best effort this year when fifth of eight over 7f at Goodwood (soft) on Sunday, but he'll need more if he's to exploit his reduced mark. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on last summer's exploits but he's been a long way below that level this year and a major turnaround is needed. |
25/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 6f handicaps on good ground last summer when with Hugo Palmer; quiet in two runs for current yard (cheekpieces then a visor) and soft ground might not be what he wants. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
7f winner on Newcastle AW in March; back on turf for the first time since last October but he's 8lb lower today and he does act on grass; however, jockey bookings suggest Highfield Viking is the stable preferred. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |
5/1 |
|
7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |

8lb lower than when beaten a head in a division of this last year; missed the kick here two weeks ago but nothing finished better and he looks ready to win again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 13 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Went close in a C&D handicap last July when rated 8lb higher; he has run some fair races in defeat this summer and shouldn't be too far away. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Latest effort suggests he remains in form; still on a long losing sequence but looked an unlucky third, having been forced to switch, over C&D on penultimate start; possibilities off same mark. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Run to form in just one of his five starts this year; fully effective at the track and rain would boost his chance; one to consider with a good claimer booked. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice last season and was seemingly back in good form when third at Haydock (7f, good) in May, his second run this year, but two lesser efforts have followed and he now has a point to prove. |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

A two-time 7f scorer last September; posted a good third at Haydock (7f) in May but beat just one in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; needs to get back on track. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Resumed winning ways at Carlisle (6f) and not seen to ideal effect with fifth of eight over C&D later in June; this C&D scorer can't be discounted in refitted cheekpieces after a break. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from 23 starts but he made a bold bid and was only narrowly denied in a Hamilton handicap (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; has leading claims if he can back that up. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to be placed after six starts this season (5f-7f) but won off a much higher mark last spring, at Ripon (6f, good to soft), and may yet turn things around; worth a glance in the betting. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Two AW wins (at 5f and 6f) last year for Jonathan Portman; has run well off marks in the mid-70s; now a modest 60, having shown very little in four runs for this stable, including a 7f claimer at Dundalk last time; definite chance on his old form; worth a market check. |
7/1 |
|
11th 12 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; hard to fancy on recent form (blood noted at both nostrils on comeback run), too keen at Ayr latest; first-time tongue-tie. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; blood noted at both nostrils after a poor run at Down Royal (7f) for May's stable debut and he beat one home back there (5f, also good) having stumbled last time; risky. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Not proving the easiest to catch right since going in at Newcastle (5f) in February but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 5f Newmarket handicap a week ago; in the mix if on his A-game again. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win on turf, but is now 2lb lower than when scoring on Tapeta at Newcastle (5f) in February and he did well under the circumstances when fourth of 11 at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago, faring best of those from off the pace (started slowly); a rare Newmarket runner for his Scottish stable. |
13/2 |

4th 5 (11) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time AW winner but not since March 2024, and his turf strike-rate is 0-28; probably worth another crack at 7f but has been out of form over sprint trips for a good while now; considered only if lively in betting. |
25/1 |
|
10th 8 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won six times on AW in the first part of 2024 but there hasn't been much to cheer about since; 0-27 on turf but has run well over C&D and the forecast rain won't bother him; still too much to prove for comfort. |
