30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Holds weak claims on his two efforts this season for new stable and is best watched unless the betting suggests a resurgence is likely. |
25/1 |

14th 17 (17) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-time winner in France; this front-runner was runner-up in twice in a row for Tom Dascombe last July/September but things didn't go to plan on his final two runs for that yard (Flat/hurdles) and he was well beaten on his stable and seasonal debut at Chepstow in May. |
50/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner in France; 0-5 for Tom Dascombe but his second at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) in September was an eyebrow-raiser, looking all over the winner before being claimed late; considered on this stable debut/reappearance. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
6yo who is 0-5 over hurdles and 1-13 on the Flat; tailed off in this year's two runs, at 1m2f and 1m. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1lb below sole winning mark, but very lightly raced since joining this yard and failed to beat a rival at Newbury (1m1f, good) last month; probably best watched on AW debut. |
33/1 |
|
14th 10 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1-10 over 2022 and 2023 for Ralph Beckett, with a soft-ground win over 1m2f, but modest over hurdles in 2024; fourth of eight for new yard in a 1m2f handicap last July was a partial revival but that was his only race last year and he needs to build markedly on it; tongue-tie (worn as a hurdler) returns. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who was successful in this race last year but was in slightly better form at the time (completed an October double); that said, wasn't entirely disgraced when in the frame on latest start. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who has lost his way since winning over this far at Lingfield in June (good to soft) but he is dropping back from Class 4 level. |
20/1 |

4 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who showed a fire still burned when winning a six-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) in June; third to Beach Point over C&D next time but his form has dipped on his last two starts; rain will help but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when keeping-on second of five here (1m good to firm) last month but his subsequent AW run was underwhelming and he's now 0-13; yet to convince stamina-wise over 1m2f; not the percentage call. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
12-race maiden but he ran well with a tongue-tie added when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he could go well again off the same mark. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner, the latest in December (1m3f, Polytrack) off this mark; her turf form is less convincing though and she needs to raise her game. |
33/1 |
|
1 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual winner here, the latest over this trip from 2lb lower last December; modest in three outings since returning in May, but the return of the visor looks a positive. |
12/1 |
|
6 (6) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Five-time AW winner at up to 1m4f; seemed unsuited by the drop back to 8.5f at Epsom most recently but remains a maiden on turf and current mark looks difficult. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was in April 2025 but that was off 8lb higher at Southwell (1m3f, AW); hit the frame in two starts over C&D this spring and he ran another solid race when fifth of 14 at Kempton (1m) in May; seems tactically versatile and he should be in the mix again after a short break. |
11/2 |
|
5th 13 (1) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Outsider of four when belatedly doubling his tally at Southwell last April (1m3f); hit the frame last two starts (1m2f) but not sure dropping back to 1m will see him play a bigger role this evening; Penfolds Grange looks connections' best hope. |
20/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing run and he's yet to hit top form this season, going keenly when a fading fourth of 11 over C&D in February; needs to take a step forward. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Rediscovered some form when a front-running third at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) before never dangerous on AW earlier this month; has since changed hands and left Billy Aprahamian; acts on soft but not proven over this far. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
On a handy mark again now and his first three runs of this campaign confirmed he retained plenty of enthusiasm; off the boil more recently but he drops in class with Henry Callan booked; one to be interested in. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won twice over C&D (good/soft) last summer; has reached the frame on four of his five 2026 starts but beaten 6l when fourth at York latest and the return to Sandown needs to help him recapture his peak form. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done well with cheekpieces, winning twice at 1m2f at Sandown (good/soft) last summer; started 2026 with three creditable in-frame efforts (including good to firm) but needs to shrug off a lesser effort over C&D four weeks ago. |
14/1 |
