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. |

1st 9 (4) |
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. |

6 (6) |
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. |

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. |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Had two C&D wins under his belt before finishing close up in the last two runnings of this (both on good to firm); not ideally placed when returned to this track in May but he should have a say again now back on a better mark, 3lb lower than last August. |
11/2 |
|
14th 9 (16) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains a chunk of ability and considerable enthusiasm, winning for the fourth time this year when beating six rivals at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) last month; runner-up back at Pontefract two weeks ago; this might prove too demanding though. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
He couldn't get into it in a big field at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last Monday but he didn't enjoy an ideal passage and went there on a four-timer following three wins here (6f/5f, good/good to firm); this 9yo could play a leading role back at Pontefract. |
5/1 |
|
13th 1 (16) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who has had a fantastic run this year, winning his last four races on good to firm ground, over 6f and 5f; at the age of nine he seems to be closing in on his best-ever form and he has won off a slightly higher mark than today's in the past; Oisin Murphy up for the first time; much respected. |

Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped slightly when never-dangerous favourite in Class 3 here three weeks ago, following two seconds and a win (all also C&D) on previous three starts; back to Class 4 and, like most of these, has each-way claims. |
7/1 |

7th 14 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

In excellent form of late and ended a long losing run with a deserved fourth C&D win in eight-runner contest a week ago; very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty with Oisin Murphy again up. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
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. |

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. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Stays 6f well but he isn't short of speed and this belated first attempt at 5f looks an interesting move; arrives in top form, successful at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago, and a 4lb rise still leaves him with handicapping potential. |
13/2 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped into Class 3 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago and ran a good race for second, edging left in the closing stages but keeping on well regardless; still has handicapping scope up 1lb. |

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 |

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

One of his five wins came over C&D in May 2025; third to Amazonian Dream over C&D four weeks ago was an encouraging return from four months off and in-form 5lb claimer is now recruited; in the mix. |

3rd 1 (8) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time turf winner including off 5lb higher over C&D (good to firm) last spring; well held at Wolverhampton when last seen in March but that was after a good spell on AW including a Kempton win; has good record when fresh and he needs a close look back from four months off. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

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. |

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. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Dual 7f Polytrack winner in his younger days but does most racing now over 6f; made a poor debut in a claimer for his new yard here last month, having been picked up for 10,000gns from Richard Hughes last autumn; surprise to see him take this. |
