11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Second past the post in a division of this last year (later awarded the race); below his best on his first two starts this year but got back to winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) 12 days ago after a gelding operation; likely player even with 5lb penalty, particularly if the ground is softer than good. |
9/1 |

1st 6 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from layoff with two disappointing runs (both 1m2f, good) in the spring but was gelded during subsequent 88-day break and will be favoured by the forecast rain here; revival possible. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have been over 1m2f on good to soft, with the most recent coming at Doncaster in September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; well beaten at Newbury on his return but this is a drop in grade. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unplaced in all seven starts; he has shown some promise but he doesn't look progressive and connections now reach for headgear. |
10/1 |
|

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-6 though he has shown some ability since switching to handicaps, albeit he proved a disappointing favourite at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) last month after missing the break; not sure dropping back in trip is the answer. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not that threatening in his last two handicaps (1m/1m2f) but ran okay to be fourth, showing similar sort of form; dropped into a Class 6 here and should have some say. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden; 1m2f may have stretched her on last two starts but connections also now reach for first-time headgear; 10lb lower than on reappearance and a form case can be made. |
10/1 |
|
4 (1) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent at 7f to about 1m when the ground has been good or quicker; good to soft probably didn't help when upped to 1m2f at Newmarket last month when never in contention so the stamina question remains unresolved. |
7/1 |
|
3 (6) |
19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Mixed form since a promising second on debut last summer, and she faded into third when odds-on for maiden at Ripon (1m, good) 12 days ago; now moves up in distance and she's not sure to stay judged on her pedigree. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

Exposed handicapper over 6f-1m2f on the Flat who has since left Faye Bramley; has a lot on his plate on stable/hurdles debut. |
20/1 |
|
7th 9 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up off this mark at Newbury (1m, good) in May but slow starts can be an issue and he's been well held in his last two runs; didn't get much luck at Nottingham last time but he's not easy to predict and others are more persuasive. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Slow starts can be an issue and he couldn't get into it when sixth at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) recently, but it wasn't a bad run and before that he was second at Newbury (1m, good); the step back up in trip may help and he might not be far away; the visor (worn on last two runs) is left off. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only three ran but he beat a Prescott improver with the pair clear over C&D a month ago and, defying his pedigree, saw the trip out well; now has 2lb higher mark but Jack Callan is enlisted to claim 5lb. |
11/4 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Not bred for this sort of trip but turned in his best effort to date last Tuesday, upped to 1m6f on his Tapeta debut; that was only a 0-55 in which he again started a big price but it gave something to build on. |
6/1 |
|
8 (13) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Hasn't shown much in five starts over 1m-1m4f on turf/Polytrack; little to suggest stepping up to this trip will make the difference. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Record at Class 6 level reads 221 following his success at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry, but remains in the same grade and there should be no problem with the return to this trip; much respected. |

1st 2 (8) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Opened account in maiden handicap at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) in the spring and has remained in good form since; ought to be suited by this trip-and-surface combination; likely contender under Billy Loughnane. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All four wins have been over 1m at Kempton where he nearly added another last month; record of 0-9 on turf but also went close at York two runs ago, albeit on good to firm (slower might not be preferable); one or two others appeal more; first-time tongue-tie. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins have been over C&D and latest was in March; record of 0-9 on turf but he returned to form with a close second in a big field at York last time; only 1lb higher back on Polytrack and he should get a decent tow into this race; respected. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has done well since dropping to 1m, winning at Windsor (good) in August and at Kempton (AW) last month, with his modest effort at the former track in between probably down to the good to firm ground; only 3lb higher and shouldn't be far away. |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Well held in higher grade last time when bidding for a Windsor (1m) double; bit to prove back on AW, which makes him a similar type to Optimatum. |
12/1 |
|
11 (1) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Has raced as far as 1m6f but it was over C&D when shedding his maiden status in comfortable fashion ten days ago (good; raced prominently before ridden out); 2lb well in even with the penalty and no doubt has more to offer. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed winning ways at Southwell (1m) in April; only two runs since and never threatened after three months off when sixth of eight in 1m2f handicap here four weeks ago; can take a step forward now in first-time cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Built upon satisfactory seasonal debut when winning at Southwell (1m) in April; absent since down-the-field turf run (albeit in better race than this) in May, though, and has stamina to prove over 1m2f. |
7/1 |
|
11th 4 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Turf winner on good to soft in July who won her second AW race when scoring at Southwell (also 1m) a fortnight ago; 2lb nudge no reason to rule her out. |
7/1 |
