3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when justifying support at Plumpton (3m1f, good; cheekpieces reapplied) 13 days ago; 5lb higher on this drop back in trip but he still looks on a workable mark and his first hurdle win was over 2m; respected. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Generally disappointing in handicaps since winning 2m maiden in spring 2025 but returned from three-month break with respectable fourth at Fontwell (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago, shaping as though worth another crack at this sort of trip. |

6th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Didn't run badly when upped to 3m at Southwell (good) in June but generally disappointing in handicaps since winning 2m maiden in spring 2025; cheekpieces (worn twice in the autumn) are given another whirl. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Beaten about 35l when third in 2m maiden here in June and struggled in Stratford novice last month but moves up in trip for today's handicap debut and remains very unexposed; worth a glance in the betting. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Last in a point-to-point bumper in April last year; only modest form over hurdles and looks more one for handcaps. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed minor promise before coming to grief just after penultimate flight over C&D (good) last month, his second hurdling start, but is probably one for a bit further down the line. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Modest 7f/1m handicapper on the Flat; pulled hard when tailed off on only previous run over hurdles in November 2023 (2m, good to soft); best watched for now. |

22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

7f and 1m course winner, the latter coming when 4lb lower in March; has been competitive from this mark in two of his three subsequent starts; each-way player. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came good for Chris Gordon at third attempt, with emphatic win in Class 2 handicap at Perth (2m, good) in August; raced too freely and managed only fourth of five when favourite to follow up over C&D last month but remains of strong interest. |
11/4 |
|
4th 5 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Second in this last year when trained by Alan King and he won at Perth (2m, good) last month on his third start for this yard; hit with a 7lb rise for last time but 5lb claimer Fern O'Brien retains the ride and his trainer has won two of the last three runnings of his race; he's one to consider. |
4/1 |

1st 6 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
He's lower in the weights than when winning twice towards the end of last year (2m4f/3m, good/soft) and he returned to form when fourth at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) recently; capable of building on that latest effort and he's one to consider. |

4th 6 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Scored twice over hurdles (at up to 3m) late in 2025 but has struggled to recapture that form over fences and hurdles this season; now on a good mark but not easy to make a case for on recent evidence. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Scored twice over hurdles (at up to 3m) late in 2025 but has offered little in both codes this season and was pulled up in 3m2f handicap chase at Sedgefield 11 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Has won her last four races by an aggregate of about 52l; made all at Lingfield (1m5f, AW) most recently; climbing the weights and steps up further in grade but commands respect in current form. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Completed a turf hat-trick (11.5f-2m) last month and gained the last two wins by very wide margins, latest in a match race; respected in current form, assuming she's as effective back on AW. |
11/10 |

1st 1 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Refused to race on last visit here when due to contest a handicap hurdle in October; won over an extended 1m3f and 2m back on the Flat this month, scoring by 19l last week at Nottingham when 2lb well in under a penalty; that was an apprentice race so has no penalty. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Dual 1m6f AW Flat winner for Joseph Parr; didn't jump that well when pulled up on hurdles debut; should improve. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won two low-grade 1m6f AW handicaps for Joseph Parr when fitted with cheekpieces in February; changed hands for 8,500gns in May; goes without headgear on stable/hurdle debut but will be fine stamina-wise; market may guide. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won small-field Ludlow novice (2m5f, good) in the autumn and returned from layoff with two pretty good handicap runs this summer; only faded out of contention on run-in when fourth of 13 at Worcester (2m4f, good) 12 days ago and can go well again; raced mainly on good ground. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

2m5f novice winner in October; made handicap debut at Stratford last month (2m2f, good to firm) and ran as though that race was needed after a break of 252 days; better expected. |
