3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
2-2 as a 2yo including the Group 2 Gimcrack at York; satisfactory reappearance at Chester before struggling in a 7f Group 1 at the Ebor meeting; blinkers added now dropping to 5f for the first time; opposable. |
14/1 |
|
11th 11 (14) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
All runs at 6f on good or faster ground; unbeaten as a 2yo, winning a weak Gimcrack here 12 months ago on his second start (good to firm); lots to like about his comeback run at Chester, as he did a lot of early running from a bad draw and was picked off only late on; however, that was a Listed race and this is a new trip, so it looks a big ask. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 5 (9) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
2-2 as a 2yo, following his debut success in a novice at Thirsk (6f, good) with a ready win in the Group 2 Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm) last August; that form hasn't worked out and his subsequent absence is a slight concern; has the highest BHA rating in the field but he's drawn widest and there are grounds for taking him on. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Chepstow novice winner (6f, good to firm) who won a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last month; no threat for the first two when third in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was still a good performance and he could be a contender now down in grade. |
6/1 |

1 (3) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Narrowly justified favouritism in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) last time when looking well treated on his earlier second behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; steadily progressive but this is harder. |
25/1 |
|
2 (4) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Below-par favourite in French sales race (soft) last time; has progressive form on home soil, most recently second under a penalty at Thirsk (6f, good) behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; opening mark looks workable. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His fifth at Thirsk (5f, good) in May was a fair effort but his overall record is patchy; he has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but others still make more appeal. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ran okay at Thirsk (5f, good) in May but that is sandwiched by two lesser efforts; others look more persuasive. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A fairly useful 5f juvenile winner who reappeared having been gelded with a modest effort here in May; much better a fortnight later when fifth of 12 at Thirsk (also 5f, good); stays 6f and could step forward again. |

22nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Thirsk (6f, good) in July on second start and fourth in warm novice there (6f, good) later that month; close third on nursery debut there (5f, good) last time and he showed promise on good to soft ground on his debut at Carlisle in May; every chance he'll be bang there. |
9/4 |
|
5 (11) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all over 6f here on his second start and he ran into a subsequent Gimcrack (Group 2) winner when a respectable fourth here last time; those last two runs were under positive tactics and he looks interesting back at 5f on nursery debut. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has been in good form this summer, with two wins here (1m) and one win at around 1m at Beverley, all from the front; creditable effort back over 7f at Redcar last time and may well be hard to catch. |
11/4 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A winner of three of his last five starts (all 1m), including when he made all in amateur riders' event at Thirsk 12 days ago; 2lb nudge makes life a little harder but he comes here in form and should cope with the drop to 7f. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Has form figures of 2112 in last four turf attempts and gained one of the wins over C&D (good to firm); ran well at Ayr (good to soft) most recently; steadily progressive and commands respect. |

Cost 100,000euros as a yearling but modest form in Britain for Adrian Nicholls; off eight months. |

10 (9) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten around 14l when third of ten behind an easy winner at Haydock (6f, good) on debut but she hasn't built on that in two starts since; tailed off at Ayr (7f, good) 24 days ago and now makes her AW/handicap debut with blinkers applied. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten 14l when third on Haydock debut (6f, good) last month and was a well-held sixth at Thirsk three weeks later; now goes up in trip but this looks another tough assignment and she'll be more interesting when switched to nurseries. |

12th 11 (12) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Twice fourth in 5f novices for Adrian Keatley last summer but has offered little in handicaps at Haydock (6f) and Kempton (7f) for his new stable this season; not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Patchy form in three qualifying runs for Adrian Keatley last year and he was beaten a long way when last of 11 on his reappearance and handicap/stable debut at Haydock (6f; hooded) in April; goes up a furlong for his first bash at AW. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive in maiden/novice events, going close at Carlisle (6f) in August; weakened quickly in a Doncaster sales race with cheekpieces added (retained) last time but that was a tough ask and he should make more of an impact with his sights lowered again. |
3/1 |

19th 14 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Heading in the right direction, close second at Carlisle (6f, good) most recently; chance of going one better at this level depends on whether first-time headgear prompts significant further progress. |
25/1 |
|
2 (8) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
155,000euros yearling; made a low-key start at Thirsk in July but he showed clear promise with his fourth of 15 there (6f, good to firm) last month; was well backed into 11-4 for that race and he's open to more progress on this drop in trip; in the mix. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Improved effort at Catterick on handicap debut but failed to beat at rival at Newcastle (again over 6f) since; first-time headgear needs to prompt a big rebound. |
16/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Improved on her novice/maiden form when second of nine in a Catterick nursery (6f, good) 17 days ago; that wasn't a strong race but neither is this so she can't be discounted. |
9/2 |
|
8 (5) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Soundly beaten all three starts, posting an RPR of 39 when sixth of nine at Ripon (6f maiden, good; 66-1) a fortnight ago; significant improvement required on handicap debut; better to look elsewhere. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13-race maiden; after a promising third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) on stable debut in June, he took a backward step when fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) and beat only one home in a similar contest at Catterick 13 days ago; first-time blinkers need to have the desired effect. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
13-race maiden who is unraced beyond 6f; after a promising third on stable debut here (6f, good to firm) in June he took a backward step when fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) latest, but this 3yo is not ruled out. |
15/2 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to progress as a 2yo and was well held in sprint handicaps on the AW and turf for previous yard; however, he shaped nicely on his debut for this one when third at Catterick (6f, good to firm) in June so now he's of more interest again. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
15-race maiden but was placed four times from 7f-1m3f on turf this summer; left Geoff Harker after finishing down the field over the extended 1m4f here three weeks ago; new trainer (same owners) is quick to drop him back markedly in trip; has more good recent efforts to his name than most of these. |

11th 11 (13) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
13-race maiden but he was in the frame in both starts here (6f nurseries) when trained by Nigel Tinkler last year; his third behind Farabove The Limit at Carlisle (1m3f, good) last month was the last of a sequence of solid efforts but he threw in a clunker when beating one home at Redcar last time; blinkers go on. |
8/1 |

8th 9 (5) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-12 but he's been consistent in handicaps and was a creditable third from off the pace at Carlisle (1m3f, good) two weeks ago; should go well again on this drop back in trip and he's respected. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Threatened to win a small race on the AW over the winter; yet to shine in three runs for current stable but today's drop back to 6f looks a good move; handles good to soft, unraced on slower. |
