25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won twice on the AW since finishing well held in this 12 months ago but hasn't offered all that much in his last three races. |
20/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |

4th 8 (7) |
16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He's fully 12lb lower than when going close at Doncaster (5f, heavy) last October; however, he's had an underwhelming campaign in the main this season and others arrive with more pressing claims. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lacklustre campaign in the main but he has a reduced mark to work with as a result and was an encouraging seventh of 21 in a first-time visor (retained) at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday, when suffering interference and away from the main action; ran two big races here last autumn; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
7th 11 (15) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Twice a course winner, including over this trip; started his campaign with a promising run at Beverley but three lacklustre runs have followed; well handicapped if the addition of a visor sparks a revival. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a losing sequence on just his second start for current yard in 5f Newmarket handicap last month; outing best ignored (suffered poor run) when sixth of nine at Goodwood since; can't be discounted. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Well suited by 5f on quick ground; two runs for new stable, finishing third at Sandown last month before winning at Newmarket three weeks ago; 3lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
6yo who is well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Michael Bell and made quite an encouraging start for his new yard when third of seven at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, particularly as he was tight for room against the rail; given a chance to build on that with Billy Loughnane taking the reins this time. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins this year, notably when seeing off 16 rivals in the 'Jump Jockeys' Nunthorpe' at York (5f, good to firm) in July; only ninth at Ripon and Chester since, though. |
20/1 |
|
9th 6 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins this year, notably when seeing off 16 rivals in the 'Jump Jockeys' Nunthorpe' at York (5f, good to firm) in July; unplaced in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon four weeks ago; well drawn but a career best is required to win. |
11/2 |
|
9th 11 (14) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Fared best of the stands' side group when second in this race 12 months ago; races off 3lb higher this time around but he confirmed his liking for the track with a C&D win in April and he was better than ever when beating 16 rivals at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; high on the list. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Usually leads; has been off since winning narrowly at Redcar (5f, good to firm; handles good to soft) in August but he went close on his reappearance (6f) here in April and also gave a good account when runner-up in the Class 2 on this card 12 months ago; likely contender. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Made all off 1lb lower at Chester (6f, good) in May and wasn't beaten far on any of four subsequent starts there, the latest over 5f from a tough draw; may not be seen to quite the same effect on this straight track, though. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strong traveller with eight wins on his record, the latest off this mark in March (5f, AW); well beaten in three starts for his new stable though and enough to prove at present. |
14/1 |
|
9 (11) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March; however, he was soundly beaten on his final run for Tristan Davidson and it's been the same story on both outings for this stable. |
40/1 |
|
8 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark for Simon Dow when making all in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in August; not so good twice since and stamina for 7f is unproven. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 (4) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all and just holding on at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; couldn't build on it back there 13 days ago and may be better suited by that extra furlong now. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made all and prevailed narrowly over C&D last time, opening his AW account at the 14th attempt; back up 3lb but has defied higher marks on turf; likely to remain competitive. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Ended 2025 in poor form on AW and was always behind when reappearing at Chester (7f) in July; continues to slide down the weights but he has plenty to prove after another break; cheekpieces reapplied. |
16/1 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien but he struggled last season at trips ranging from 5f to 2m; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's now 1-16 and needs a major revival after 202 days off. |
16/1 |
