21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
2yo Listed winner in France (1m, very soft) and, having been gelded, he was back on song at Ripon (1m, good to firm) last month when first past the post (demoted to third due to interference); slow ground would hold no fears but it was a small field last time and this race is much hotter. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
French Listed win on very soft ground last autumn has left him difficult to place this season; pulling hard all three starts hasn't helped and he comes right back down in trip having been gelded since last seen a couple of months ago; has it to prove. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 44y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Did too much up front over 1m1f on penultimate start but never landed a blow when ridden with restraint in first-time hood (retained) over 7.5f latest; progress has stopped since French Listed win and he still has something to prove beyond 1m. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
He's raced five times and is yet to finish better than fifth, but he's shown promise and wasn't beaten far in a handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March on his sole run this year; hinted last time that the drop to 6f may suit; no surprise if he gives a good account. |
10/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to progress from his debut effort in three subsequent 2yo runs, including his nursery debut when last seen in October; dropped 4lb but he returns with a point to prove. |
10/1 |
|
9 (5) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Well-held fifth in his first two runs (5f/6f) before a heavy defeat over 7f at Lingfield (good to soft) in July; has plenty of speed in pedigree and now drops back in trip but he needs a transformation on nursery debut; one of two runners for Richard Hannon. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Second over 1m at Kempton (strong finish), Bath (hung left) and Yarmouth (rallied) in all three of his handicaps; 1m2f now looks worth a go. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back from seven months off to be second in handicaps at Kempton (1m, AW; strong finish) and Bath (1m, good to soft); that's three seconds from his five starts and he hung left last time but no shock if he now goes one better. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Back from seven months off (also gelded) with a promising second of nine on his handicap debut at Kempton (1m) last month; up 1lb but he can go well again with further progress on the cards. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb
|
Third reserve; generally consistent 3yo who has registered two wins over 7f this year; ran creditably over same trip at Chepstow most recently and it was a similar result in sole 1m attempt; solid chance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner who doubled his tally when grabbing the favoured stands' rail here 12 days ago; prevailed by only half a length and has a 5lb higher mark today (also had claimed 3lb off his back last time); perhaps vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 7f at Wolverhampton in May and close up in next two races, at 1m and 7f; finished last at Lingfield 12 days ago but that was over 6f. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Triple winner for James Ferguson this year (one C&D); good third on stable debut at Newmarket last month and did best of the hold-up horses when filling the same position over C&D three weeks ago; claims if there's a pace collapse, for all that he may be ridden more prominently from a much better draw. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 10 (12) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins, including over C&D, for previous yard; ran creditably in turf event for new stable; solid chance back in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time AW winner for James Ferguson in early part of this year and placed on both subsequent turf starts (1m, good to firm/good); didn't fire on Tapeta last month but makes stable debut from a workable mark. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 1m handicaps at Windsor in May; not seen best effect when sixth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 15 days ago; in the picture with cheekpieces added. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (10) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May before a good second in his hat-trick bid at Nottingham; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he hasn't fired in his last two runs and others are more persuasive. |
6/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May before a good second in his hat-trick bid at Nottingham; only 1lb higher here but his progress came to a halt at Salisbury (last of six) in June and he has a bit to prove after that. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Six-race maiden who was safely held on first two starts this season (1m/9.4f); will appreciate this ease in grade but still needs the new trip to prompt improvement. |
25/1 |
|
7th 1 (11) |
28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded after finishing last in a nursery 12 months ago and beat only two home on his return at Newbury (1m Class 5); has a lot to prove now and trainer turns to headgear. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Absent since a low-key nursery debut at Newmarket (7f, good) 268 days ago; gelded prior to his return; improvement essential for today's step up in trip. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improvement was not required when winning a weak 7f maiden here last month (Inspectre 1l behind and 2lb better off today); has since finished last of nine in a Southwell handicap and he could prove vulnerable again. |
9/1 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up twice in handicaps on turf this term; probably didn't need to improve to win Brighton maiden (7f) last time, his 12th outing, but may remain competitive. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Had plenty of chances with him now 0-11 but he brings the best form and cheekpieces are back on after flirting with a visor last time. |
4/7 |
