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 |

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. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |

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. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |

Winless since May 2024 and he's not proving easy to catch right this season, a below-par sixth in 2m3f Carlisle handicap hurdle 20 days ago. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

On a near two-year losing spell and isn't certain to confirm last-time placings with Ryebridge, who is less exposed; that said, again has an each-way squeak. |

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. |

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. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |

Sole success came back in 2023 but he got back on track with second of six in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster three weeks ago; needs to reproduce it now. |

2nd 5 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Only 1-27, the win when with Ralph Beckett; had been badly out of form this season but ran better in a new tongue-tie over 1m here last time when close up behind Mariner; possibilities if as good again as he stays this far. |
8/1 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only win in 26 runs was a 1m nursery at York in October 2023 for Ralph Beckett; badly out of form this season and cheekpieces made no difference last time; they are replaced by a first-time tongue-tie now. |

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. |
20/1 |

8th 9 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
In fairly good form on AW at Newcastle towards end of last year, making the frame over 1m2f on three of his last four appearances, but has fitness to prove after six-month absence. |
