23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Rated 7lb lower than on the AW, but is hard to warm to on his latest efforts; needs the first-time blinkers to make a difference. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
May have needed the run at Kempton 12 days ago but he ended up well beaten; he has a lower turf mark to exploit but is a better horse on AW; others look safer. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has claims on his best form last year but he ended last season with a poor run at Leicester (7f, good) in October and his last win was 21 months ago; others preferred. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't kick on for William Haggas and, following an encouraging stable debut (7f, AW) in July, he never got going when last of nine to Good Heavens at Pontefract (1m, good to soft; 6-1) three weeks ago; questions to answer. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Won 6f handicap here (soft) for William Haggas just under a year ago; didn't kick on for that yard but it was an encouraging stable debut when favourite and third of 12 at Southwell (7f, AW) in July; same mark and shapes like he's worth another go at 1m. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 7f novice events (one here) in late 2022 when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam; struggled in 2023 and he hasn't been seen since pulling up in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield 664 days ago (for James Owen); plenty to prove on his belated return; first runner for his owner-trainer. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Triple 6f winner, including on good to soft; would have claims from this mark if able to produce one of his better two efforts for this trainer in 2026 but needs to bounce back after two lacklustre performances. |
16/1 |
|
11th 5 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Couldn't get involved from off the pace last time at Newmarket and good runs before then at Doncaster (blinkered) and Southwell (visored; all over 6f); as last time, he goes without headger, but stays 7f fine; not without hope. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His sole turf win was in 2023 but he was good third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) last time; headgear is now removed but he should go well again off unchanged mark. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Down the field ten days ago following a break, when usual front-running tactics weren't adopted on first start since rejoining this yard; however, running well in defeat otherwise this year and he's a two-time C&D winner; probably fine on good to soft, unproven on soft; could make a bold bid. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (2) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; still 10lb higher than when winning over C&D in July last year, but has been beaten less than a length off similar marks in each of his last four starts; faces other speed influences but still respected on first start back with his former trainer. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

A dual 7f winner in 2025 for Ann Duffield; returned with very good placed efforts in 7f handicaps at Newcastle and Musselburgh this spring and not out of things starting out for another new yard here. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last three wins have been over 7f and latest was in December 2024; well handicapped on old form but he finished in rear in his final two runs in the spring and looks opposable back from four months off. |

10th 13 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Winless since 2024 and winless in sprints since 2023; said to have hung left when well beaten on his return to turf seven weeks ago and only holds outside claims. |
33/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Hindered by traffic issues last time (AW); the 9yo hasn't won since 2024 but is nicely weighted, especially if Lewis Chalkley's 7lb claim is taken into account. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 in handicaps, but he continues to edge down the weights and ran well when beaten just over 2l into fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; blinkers given a go this time; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Yet to win a handicap and not at his best on his last two starts (caught wide here latest); has dropped a long way in the weights though and Rossa Ryan is a notable booking. |
8/1 |

10th 12 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Beat two rivals at Pontefract on second start but yet to win a handicap and hasn't been the most consistent; easy to forgive a below-par Epsom run last time and gets a hood (has worn a visor) but needs to raise game. |

7f win at Wolverhampton in June; absent 66 days until reappearing with a fourth to Beattie Is Back (dead-heated with stablemate Tasever) over C&D 23 days ago; needs to up his game a notch. |
16/1 |

4th 11 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Came from the rear to gain his fourth success (all on the AW) when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) two months ago; a 5lb rise still leaves him well treated on his previous form so can't be discounted in his bid to follow up. |

9st 4lb |
Only turf win was in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) for Jane Chapple-Hyam in October 2023; however, he has run two sound races to be placed at Ayr on last two starts (7f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |

3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |

2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

27th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second in this last year (good to soft) and won over C&D (good to firm) in July; runner-up over C&D two starts ago and not helped by a slow start when fifth over C&D last time; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; capable of playing a leading role. |
9/2 |

5th 5 (9) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

His five starts over C&D have yielded two wins and two runner-up spots, once behind Musical Angel last September and latterly when chasing home Dapper Guest ten days ago; wasn't done too many favours by the winner last time and has a good chance of gaining his revenge on revised terms. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Showed he was no back number when landing his third course win (7f) off 4lb lower last month; more required here but dangerous to dismiss. |

4th 6 (7) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
9yo who recorded his ninth AW win when landing a Kempton handicap (7f) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he remains well treated on his old form and two of his wins have been over C&D; shortlisted. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (6) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-time AW winner who scored on Polytrack at Lingfield (7f) in April but he's been well below that form in four subsequent runs; now back on last winning mark but he needs a major revival on this drop back in grade. |
