22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has been keeping busy, winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last month and going close on two of his three starts since, most recently beaten half a length at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); has won here and is capable of another bold bid. |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Usually front-runs; never better than with his first and second at the end of last month, which were on AW however and his top four RPRs have now been registered in that sphere; something to find on turf, including as he was third here (1m6f, good to firm) earlier in July but is now 7lb higher and he dropped out at Chepstow on Thursday. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Sometimes hangs left but is moving in the right direction and comfortably justified favouritism over C&D in December, recording a first win since joining shrewd current connections; good second on trials day at Newcastle (kept to 2m) since; may improve further at this trip; respected. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Had been running well in defeat before outclassing his five rivals in a Class 4 at Wolverhampton (2m); 5lb higher this time in a stronger contest but looks a good bet to give his running. |

13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won two out of three AW handicaps in 2024, coming well clear at Southwell (about 2m) last September; raised 9lb and wasn't seen again until last month, when finishing well held over an inadequate 1m4f on Newcastle AW; likely to be seen to better advantage this time. |

Lightly raced 4yo who won twice on the Southwell Tapeta (1m6f/16.5f) last August/September; 9lb higher on this return from ten months off and not sure the drop in trip is in his favour. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Dual course winner (1m2f; last win October 2024); has beaten just a single rival in his last three appearances (1m2f-12.5f) and, while he has eased 11lb over that period (and is claimer ridden), it's tough to form an argument. |
40/1 |
|
12th 10 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice for David O'Meara on Newcastle AW (1m2f) in 2024 but 0-12 on turf; out of sorts last year, and has failed to beat a rival in last two appearances, at Newcastle and Redcar; mark is in freefall but plenty to prove. |
66/1 |

8th 8 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner over 1m2f at Newcastle in 2024 but winless since; close-up fourth there at a big price in March but has struggled in three starts since, all at Newcastle; returns to turf with a bit to prove. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
A three-time winner over hurdles, he made a pleasing chase debut when runner-up here (2m4f, good) last month; should be suited by the step up in trip and holds decent claims. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Won three times over hurdles; has had a break and makes chasing debut; any market move should be noted. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Went close over this sort of trip on AW in March but, after a successful stable debut at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) in June, he raced too freely (a regular trait) when well beaten by Gooloogong back there three weeks ago; hood goes on for the first time for this yard, which looks a smart move. |
7/1 |

4th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number 11 when coming clear at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) on his debut for Tony Carroll; effective on faster ground and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he's turned a corner. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Without a win since October 2023; ran well at Doncaster in August but well beaten in three runs since; visor now joins the tongue-tie. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Runner-up off 1lb higher at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month, but he's struggled in both subsequent runs and overall record is now 1-30. |

6th 8 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Heavy defeats in two AW starts, both on this track in 2025; more of the same for much of this year and although there were more hopeful signs in midsummer, he was said to have never travelled when tailed off at Redcar last time. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago and he's been out of sorts in three runs this season; has plenty to prove and he needs a big turnaround. |
16/1 |

12th 12 (3) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Winless since 2024 and this veteran has yet to fire in handicaps over C&D and at Newcastle (1m4f) this summer; others appeal more. |
40/1 |
|
6th 11 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
The last two of his seven wins were at this track, albeit in 2024; placed twice over 1m2f here in a mixed campaign last autumn/winter; well beaten at 25-1 five weeks ago, a run which he may have needed after six months off and he's now back to his last winning mark, but this race looks too hot. |
