10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Started this year with a 5f win at Newcastle (Tapeta) but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 7l at Newcastle (1m) last month; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival back in trip; tongue-tie reapplied. |
16/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 5f win here but his form has nosedived since; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

9th 8 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 5f success at Newcastle in January but he's failed to reproduce it, again slowly away when fifth of seven at Hamilton (5f) six days ago; others are preferred. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has two C&D wins to his name off much higher marks; back to form when a close third over C&D last week (made the running); dangerous if reappearing in the same form. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Dual C&D winner but his last success was 15 months ago and he's not made an impact this season; has dropped a long way in the weights but he has plenty to prove and needs a major revival back in trip; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (7) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Newcastle winner (6f, Tapeta) the winter before last and 17lb lower than when successful at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in June last year; down in grade, but not performing as though ready to exploit his plummeting mark and is still to conclusively prove he wants this far; cheekpieces return. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) in August, the first of those under Hope Regan; the handicapper came down hard, although he was still close up at Brighton two runs back; weakened at Windsor since, having held every chance. |
9/2 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month; ran creditably in a better race at Brighton two weeks ago and is still in form; minor money perhaps his best hope all the same. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (12) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he ended a losing run at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago when more positive tactics were deployed; unpenalised when bolting up back at Chepstow on Tuesday and he is effectively 11lb higher today; slower ground shouldn't be an issue but this will require a good deal more. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Consistent gelding who recently underwent a third round of wind surgery; C&D win in January came off this mark and he won't mind coming back up from 5f, so he's one to consider, returned to blinkers from cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Added to his two Beverley wins when scoring on Tapeta at Southwell (6f) in January; only 1lb higher than for that success and he's run plenty of good races since including when third at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; respected on his first run after another wind operation. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been consistent since his successful reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW) in January and was only beaten 2l into fourth of eight in a 0-85 at Beverley last month; suited by a stiff 5f and much respected down in class. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Win twice on soft turf for his previous stable but he's 0-6 since joining this yard, and was well beaten returned to the AW at Wolverhampton (6f) three weeks ago; first-time visor needs to make a difference. |
25/1 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced all five turf starts new stable this season (6f-7f) but hasn't been running that badly and continues to slip down the weights; Billy Loughnane is booked for this rare AW appearance; not ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
6th 9 (6) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two turf wins, the latest a claimer at Leicester last October on final run for Eve Johnson Houghton; dropping down the weights but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to take advantage. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |
|
10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |
5/1 |

2 (9) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
3-27 overall on turf (minor honours both starts here) but there were two turf wins this spring; needs to bounce back from two modest displays. |
20/1 |
|
16th 12 (13) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three course wins, including when scrambling home by a nose over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; slowly away (under a 6lb penalty) when fifth to Nzuri over C&D (7-2) last week; it isn't impossible (with this better draw) that he'll be closer this time. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (8) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
He was recording his third course win when scrambling home over C&D last week; can win more races but he's effectively 6lb higher today and this will demand more. |
6/1 |
|
1st 1 (12) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed his second win at this track, over today's distance, in June off 1lb lower; has acquitted himself well since and his second at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last Tuesday suggests his turn is near once again. |
