16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field at Newcastle four weeks ago but was in a first-time visor and his usual cheekpieces return today; he was in pretty good heart prior to last time and won on heavy ground last October; not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his best form last year and he's finished a creditable fourth in last two runs including over C&D; needs to find a bit extra but he's still lightly raced on AW and new headgear could give him a boost. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins in the second half of last year (various ground; the final one over C&D); he's struggled to get competitive for most of this year but has dropped down the weights and ran well when fourth of 13 at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time; another 2lb lower today and he's one to consider. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Only 3-39 but placed plenty of times; a greater concern would be his recent efforts and cheekpieces are now turned to. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (11) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three course wins (6f-1m) and a multitude of placed efforts, including a close third to Saytaar (Harry The Rogue second) over C&D in March; has struggled on turf in his last three appearances (7.5f-1m2f) but his mark has eased accordingly. |
6/1 |

9th 8 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

3-21 on the AW but 0-16 on the grass, never in the first two; beaten about 10l in last two races; not hard to turn elsewhere. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Excels over C&D, only once out of the frame in 14 runs and his fourth win coming on latest start here (good), when making all from Indefensible; still well treated and can go well in the bid to repeat his 2024 win. |
9/2 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
13 starts here have yielded three wins and eight places, albeit the latest success came nearly two years ago; arrives in form after a string of solid efforts and he's likely to make his presence felt again. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Getting on for nearly two years since his last win but running well of late, reaching the frame for the fourth time in his last five starts when fourth of ten at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Saturday; should be thereabouts again. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only turf win was in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) for Jane Chapple-Hyam in October 2023; however, he has run two sound races to be placed at Ayr on last two starts (7f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning on Newcastle AW; however, finished a good second over C&D most recently and is due to go back up 1lb in future; holds a fighting chance in his attempt to go one better. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time AW winner, the latest (May) his first over 7f; still seeking a first turf success but his two best runs on the grass came over C&D last summer; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
13th 22 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive sort who won over 7f at Kempton on reappearance and ran respectably on handicap debut (1m) last time; switches to turf for the first time but open to improvement and should go well. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
$210,000 yearling; made a successful return from 209 days off in a slowly run Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last month; open to further progress now making his handicap debut; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3 (2) |
28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
$210,000 yearling; ran green when fifth on Wolverhampton debut last October and he built on that with a promising third at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) 24 days later; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he's respected on return. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has run a number of good races in defeat this season and he got back on the scoresheet when justifying favouritism at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and he has won over C&D in the past; shortlisted. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has run a number of good in defeat races this season, including fourth over C&D last month; went down only to a progressive 3yo at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the third and fourth have franked that form; bold show likely. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Operating below last year's peak form but posted sound effort when third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last week and remains on same mark as for emphatic C&D success in November; no surprise if he features. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Went close over C&D (good to firm) last month and 1m seemed to stretch him back here since (all wins at 7f, including here); his last success came off this mark; likely to be on the premises under Rodriguez. |
5/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from a break with good third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and he went very close here (7f, good to firm) last Friday; he's done all of his winning at 7f but can be in the mix if the return to 1m isn't an issue. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Below par in two outings on good ground at Nottingham at the start of the summer but possible she could bounce back to form with a bang after a break having dipped to same mark as when successful at Nottingham (extended 1m, good to soft; acts on soft) last October. |
10/1 |

9th 1 (6) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner, with the most recent success coming over 8.5f here in October (good to soft); solid reappearance at Wolverhampton in April but was well held here 25 days ago (trainer's rep said she would prefer an easier surface); steps up in trip and she's a contender if the ground is slower than good. |
7/2 |
|
8th 9 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Added to her Southwell novice win when landing a C&D handicap (good to soft) in October; well held in final run last season but she reappeared with a fair third at Wolverhampton last month; this is a deeper race but she's not ruled out back at this track. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
His fourth win of the year when doing it convincingly at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago; a 6lb rise might not be beyond him but, although he has run well on ground softer than good, recent soft and heavy-ground assigments were swerved; presumably he could have done without the recent rain. |
