21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Seven-time course winner, five times on heavy ground; back in good form lately, winning at Chepstow before respectable sixth in higher-grade company at Chester (also 1m2f, good to soft); ought to be hard to beat in these conditions. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Goes well on slow ground and was winning for the ninth time when getting the better of Meet Me In Meraki at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; 4lb worse off for a neck but does have a talented claimer booked. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed several times on turf between May and July, but losing run up to 16 and has only been placed once in 11 starts on the AW; others are more compelling. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time C&D winner; not at best when fifth over 1m here recently and would appeal more on fast ground but moves back up to optimum trip and current mark is workable. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (8) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner who goes well here; his last run needs forgiving but he had been in a good run of form; considered, for all that this is a rare run without any form of headgear. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who returns to turf 4lb higher than when last seen on it after a Polytrack win in the winter; 0-11 round here down the years and needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Lingfield a month ago. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D (fourth victory here) in December and collared only late on having set a good pace when fourth of eight in 1m Kempton handicap 45 days ago; he merits serious consideration eased 1lb in a headgear change. |
3/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Most effective when able to dominate as he again showed when making all at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; given no peace up front there last time and now 7lb higher than for the win, but dangerous if allowed his own way and does have winning form over C&D. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
In poor form over 1m on AW earlier in the year but his fortunes have taken a turn for the better for new yard, having rivals on the stretch from some way out at Leicester (1m2f, good) and worn down only late under a penalty at Bath last week; looks good for another big run. |
13/8 |

1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt when justifying favouritism in a 1m2f handicap at Leicester (good; cheekpieces added) last week; has a penalty but he hit a personal best with that comfortable success and is still unexposed on turf; key player. |
13/8 |

1st 8 (3) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Struggled initially this year but ran better when third on stable debut at Wolverhampton (AW) last month, possibly just stretched by 1m4f, and was beaten on 1l at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) three days ago; respected. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All 11 wins have been here, the latest over 1m2f in July (3lb lower); he nearly followed up over this trip and his fourth 20 days ago wasn't too bad a run. |
15/2 |

4th 10 (14) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All 11 wins have been here, the latest in July (1m2f, firm; 4lb lower); pushed Buckland Belle close on his return visit and lost all chance with a slow start last time; unlikely to be far away if breaking better. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Winning for an 11th time here in July and nearly went in again 11 days ago despite being struck into; solid chance off 2lb higher. |

1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Longstanding maiden who returned after a long absence with tailed-off effort on stable debut at Windsor (11.4f classified) in June; no appeal. |

11th 7 (8) |
16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who's been tried over 7f-2m without joy; has been off since April 2024 and makes his stable debut in his first classified; best watched. |
14/1 |

10 (10) |
16th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who's done most racing in a hood and been tried over 7f-2m without joy; has the ability to win off this mark if things fall right but has had 16 cracks at it now. |

1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won off a similar mark here (11.6f, firm) last August but that is her only success from 41 starts and she's been out of sorts in last three runs; down the list. |
16/1 |
|
4 (5) |
25th Jun 2025 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just 1-40 but the win did come here (11.5f, firm) and her latest defeat can probably be put down to testing conditions; handicapped to be competitive. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Running well enough to think she can be involved to some extent but her convincing Bath win at about 1m3f in August came on firm ground and she has more to prove with the recent rain. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just a respectable fourth of six over C&D (good) last month, her second run after a break, and now 0-9 over hurdles but has dropped another 2lb since and enters each-way calculations. |
7/1 |

4th 4 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-17 under rules and was brought down early on at Taunton (2m, good) last month; has been placed a couple of times but is hard to fancy. |
13/2 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Still a maiden and she went in snatches when a fair sixth of 14 in 2m Worcester handicap in October; returns from a break in a refitted hood. |
7/1 |
