23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Arrives in good heart, following a third to Badri at Windsor with a battling success on the same course (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; up 5lb for the win but that form was boosted when runner-up Trefor went one better here on Wednesday; needs to be considered. |

11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Generally consistent for current yard and recent form features a Chepstow success; met traffic issues on his way to third behind Badri and Inishfallen over C&D last time; solid claims. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
First win since his 2yo debut when scoring off a reduced mark at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago; back up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that success and he has been generally consistent in handicaps; shortlisted. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Resumed winning ways in 6f Windsor handicap in August; not disgraced from a poor draw when in midfield in 21-runner handicap at York (5.5f) since; eased 1lb and can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |

10th 10 (20) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has enjoyed a terrific season, including four handicap wins on good/good to firm; last week's second on unfavourable terms in a Beverley conditions race was a career-best RPR; course winner; has to enter calculations. |
20/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Ran well for third behind Jm Jungle in a Listed race here last month but he is 3lb worse off today and has since finished down the field in the Portland. |
8/1 |

17th 4 (22) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |

As good as ever as a 9yo, recording four wins this year and running with credit in Listed event at Beverley (5f, heavy) 13 days ago; should run his race but there are likely to be better handicapped opponents today. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Remains consistent enough but has become hard to win with and doesn't have much room for manoeuvre off this mark, which is 4lb higher than when going in at Windsor in July; may well be dropped in again from a wide stall. |
10/1 |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

Consistent sort who is campaigned regularly at Windsor and he landed a 6f handicap there in July; poorly drawn when fifth of nine there (6f) three weeks ago; no forlorn hope. |

9st 12lb |
Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back. |
100/30 |

7th 7 (2) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw.. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a long losing sequence at Thirsk (6f) in July; has posted solid third placings at Ascot (5f) and Windsor (6f) since so should remain competitive nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Lost his way as a 3yo but he had smart 6f handicap form last May and a close second to Diligently over C&D (good to firm) in June signalled a return to better days; a Thirsk win at 6f and a close third over 5f at Ascot have followed and he can be in the thick of it. |

9st 8lb |
Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |
6/1 |

5th 13 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |
20/1 |

14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

C&D winner last year; promising efforts over C&D and at Yarmouth (both on soft) last month but he found things happening too quickly on good to firm ground over C&D on Monday; blinkers now replaced by a new visor. |

11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

On a losing run but he retains plenty of ability and his latest fifth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) was another solid effort; should make another bold bid. |

5th 10 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Over two years since the last of his five wins; shaped well at Kempton on his reappearance but he hasn't built on it in two runs since; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn when favourite for a Kempton handicap last month; well drawn to attack and he lurks on a dangerous mark. |

Has kept his head down on AW for new yard and again without the cheekpieces he wore for the latest of four wins (6f and 7f) for previous stable; back on turf with a query but he's dropped a hefty chunk in the weights and this trainer may well get a good tune out him at some stage. |

4-21, with the most recent success coming at Newbury (6f, good) last April off a 12lb higher mark than today's; below his best on his final three starts for Richard Hughes and has failed to beat a rival home in two outings for this stable; others preferred. |

Triple turf winner who scored at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last July in her final run for Tom Dascombe; only 1lb higher than for that success but she's been out of sorts in two runs for new yard this spring and needs to get back on track. |

Has a record of 3-13 overall and 2-2 at Windsor, most recently scoring over C&D (good to firm) last July on final start of her 2025 campaign; finished last at Kempton (AW) on stable/seasonal debut but looks interesting returned to this venue with the outing under her belt. |
