1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Formerly trained in France; has bits of British form but holds very weak claims on 2026 efforts for this stable; best watched unless the betting suggests a resurgence is likely. |
33/1 |
|
10th 7 (11) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |

Holds weak claims on his two efforts this season for new stable and is best watched unless the betting suggests a resurgence is likely. |

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. |

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. |
66/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
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. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
16-race maiden and no obvious signs of the breakthrough; swaps blinkers for first-time cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when keeping-on second of five over C&D (good to firm) in July but both subsequent runs were underwhelming and he's now 0-14; needs good boost from the new blinkers. |
25/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
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. |

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. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-30, his last win in a four-runner Class 5 at Southwell (1m3f; from 8lb higher) in April 2025; gave it a good go from the front, only reeled in late, at Lingfield (1m2f AW; third, 7-1) three weeks ago; Alfie Redman retains the ride. |

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. |

3rd 6 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Quickened up best off a modest gallop at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) in August and just missed out at Epsom after a 4lb rise (1m2f, good to soft); nudged up another 2lb but seems better than ever right now, despite his high mileage. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Appreciated the drop in grade to quicken up best off a modest gallop at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) and he can cope with this 4lb higher mark; considered. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
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 |
