11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Drawn in stall 9 when making all over C&D at the May meeting; up and down since but he is well drawn, on a winning mark and won't mind what the weather does; talented apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Made all at Chester (5f, good) this spring and two of his last three defeats have come in very big fields at the major festivals; ran well to be beaten a short head in between and he shouldn't mind any easing of conditions; mark okay and could go well back down in grade. |
20/1 |
|
22th 14 (22) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Made all at Chester this spring and always prominent when narrowly denied in a small field at Sandown latest (5f, good; second run in cheekpieces); probably worth taking on, with consistency not his forte. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D nursery winner last December off 7lb lower who's likely to be dropped in as usual from stall 7; enjoyed a consistent summer in slightly better company on turf and is one to consider in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces a few times last autumn). |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Yarmouth (5f, soft) in May and second of 18 off this mark at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) in July; however, he hasn't hit the same heights on his three outings since. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Second of 18 over C&D at the Glorious meeting and this is much less demanding; beaten twice since but he is versatile ground-wise and should make a bold bid. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Supplemented last year's AW win with straightforward success at Newmarket (1m, good); a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging and encouraging that he can cope with undulations (unraced here). |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but ran well before fading into fourth over C&D (good) in June and returns here after keeping on well for second in tactical race at Ffos Las (1m, good) ten days ago; still on a workable mark; might be the answer. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but ran well before fading into fourth of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) in June and is now 3lb lower than when placed at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; good chance. |

6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Hooded and raced freely in all three starts; had an excuse when tailed off a Leicester (stumbled) but she's posted two fair efforts either side of that; now switches to nurseries; needs to settle. |
12/1 |
|
4th 11 (5) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Hooded and raced freely both starts; fair debut when showing speed before weakening and hanging right at Chelmsford (6f, AW; 80-1); stumbled badly then eased and tailed off at Leicester (5f, good to firm; 18-1) three weeks later; will need to relax if she's to get home on today's forecast ground. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

35,000gns yearling, £9,000 breeze-up 2yo; dam unraced half-sister to 1m Group 1 winner Lillie Langtry; showed some speed before weakening and hanging right on debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW; hooded; 80-1); drops to 5f; stablemate of Excelerate. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Well held in all nine starts, including six sprint handicaps; can only be watched until he shows more positive signs. |
50/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been well held since his debut fifth at Doncaster last July; makes stable debut but others have stronger claims. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it 13th time lucky when winning at Ayr (7f, good) last month and he improved again when beating Misunderstood over C&D (soft) 24 days ago; 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |
7/2 |
|
1st 13 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Off the mark at the 13th attempt when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Ayr (7f, good) three weeks ago; the subsequent wins of the second, third and fifth give that form some ballast; high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
1st 11 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has led but not dependent on tactics; slowly away and never threatened at Chester latest but a first win shouldn't be far away on earlier narrow defeats, at Musselburgh and Carlisle (both 7f; good and good to firm), closely matched with Black Storm on the latter occasion; thereabouts. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Two C&D handicap wins this year, latter off 1lb lower than today; found it tougher on turf since but could bounce back returned to AW having been gelded. |
14/1 |
|
8th 7 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won two 5f handicaps at Newcastle (AW) this year but he's not finished closer than fifth in six starts on turf; got badly hampered at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago but he was the outsider in that race others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Dictated a steady pace to maintain his unbeaten Newcastle record (5f; 2-2) on penultimate start; no excuses when a weakening fifth (Liverpool Star third) on turf return at Catterick (5f, good; 6-1) 17 days ago; 2lb above last winning mark (AW). |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Promising third with cheekpieces added on nursery debut at Chelmsford (5f, AW) and she ran to a similar level when second of four at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) last week; has set the pace in her last two starts and she's respected back in trip. |
9/4 |
|
4 (1) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Modest form in her first three starts but her recent nursery debut, where she made the running over 5f at Chelmsford (AW; first-time cheekpieces, retained) was more encouraging; still has time to do better. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Not ignored in the betting on first two starts, some evidence of ability on Wolverhampton AW debut (5f) and easily excused subsequent defeats, over Beverley's stiff 5f and on good to soft at Doncaster 15 days ago; in the reckoning now handicapping with Matthew Poon an interesting booking; cheekpieces on. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
£30,000 breeze-up 2yo; half-sister to four winners including 5f Group 1 Nunthorpe winner Live In The Dream; didn't go unbacked but it was a low-key debut when beating one home in ten-runner Doncaster novice (5f, good to soft; 9-1) 16 days ago; surely capable of better. |
20/1 |
|
9th 10 (1) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
28,000gns yearling, £30,000 breeze-up 2yo; seventh foal; half-sister to four winners including Live In The Dream (5f including August 2yo debut/AW/Group 1 Nunthorpe; RPR 120) and Live In The Moment (5f/6f; 104); unraced dam out of 1m4f Listed winner; stable's 2yos are 4-18 at this track in the last five years; one of the more likely newcomers. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Wolverhampton winner for Robert Cowell (5f); some fair efforts without winning for this yard, including a Musselburgh second (5f); could go well. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has claims on his short-head defeat over C&D (good) in June off this mark but has failed to back up that run twice since; usual headgear left off here. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (first-time visor) for Robert Cowell in March; beaten a short head on stable debut at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month, but failed to beat a rival at Ayr (5f, good to firm; blindfold removed late) ten days ago; needs to bounce back. |
