31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 for new stable, winning at Goodwood (1m4f, good; cheekpieces first time) before getting the better Epictetus over C&D last month; came unstuck at York in his hat-trick bid and this looks a competitive race in which to get back on track. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Represents a new trainer in excellent form and has won at Goodwood (1m4f, good) and Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) on his last two outings, proving himself better than ever; edging up the weights only gradually and in the mix again. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Useful Flat winner so he's been disappointing over hurdles, though has finished within 10l of the winner in his last two handicaps (2m4f/3m); a visor replaces cheekpieces and this aid did nothing for him on the Flat. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat maiden for Owen Burrows; yet to show that level of form in this sphere but took a step forward when sixth of 12 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 17 days ago; possibilities off a slipping mark. |
8/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Became disappointing on the Flat last year and has not shown much since switched to hurdling; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); difficult to enthuse over. |

9st 4lb |
Won on Polytrack at Lingfield (1m4f) in June; solid second back there earlier this month; slowly away when sixth over C&D last Thursday and threatened not to start at all a couple of times this year; risky. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Returned to winning form when beating Solanna at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in June and ran a solid race when second of six back there ten days ago; shortlisted on those efforts, but twice proved reluctant to race during the summer so does come with risks attached. |
6/1 |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won over C&D in June and was a respectable fourth at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on Friday but she's not easy to predict and looked reluctant to race on her penultimate run; comes with risks attached and others are more solid. |

Has form figures of 513143222 for her current yard and she hit a personal best when going close at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month; only 1lb higher here and she's a big player again back on Tapeta. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

6yo who's never been better, with two ready 1m4f wins for new yard this year and good efforts to be placed on last two outings; has had just one race on soft (none on heavy) but won it, in 2023; needs a second look. |

9st 9lb |
Won three of first four starts for Alan King in 2023, including here (1m4f) on stable debut; wind surgery at the end of that year and winless since, although did go close over hurdles in March; latest fifth back here may be a step in the right direction; visor goes on; edging down the weights. |

13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |

12/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won his novice over C&D and has since added three handicaps from 1m3f to 1m4f; disappointing final run over hurdles but went close in a maiden before then and there's nothing wrong with this mark. |

7th 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |

All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024. |

Completed a 2m AW hat-trick over the winter and she posted another good effort with second of five in 1m4f handicap at Epsom in April; that form has been well advertised since so she's not taken lightly eased 1lb after a break. |

Ex-Irish mare who secured an AW hat-trick once upped to 2m across December and January but suffered odds-on reversal when dropped to 1m6f in bid for the four-timer; drops further in trip returned to turf (had form on grass in Ireland) on this first start for three months; others more persuasive. |

Record of 3-3 since upped to 2m, most recently scoring readily at Lingfield last week; incurs 5lb penalty but Jude Fernandes takes off 7lb; ran well over C&D prior to the hat-trick; progressing well on AW and commands respect. |

Sole win was in a heavy-ground handicap at Windsor (11.4f) in October 2024; ran well when third at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) in June but he struggled here (2m) last time and that took his AW record to 0-10; others preferred. |

1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting. |

Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out. |

3-6 in handicaps, including winning warm events on good to firm at Ascot (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m3f) on first two starts this year; absolutely hacked up in the latter but subsided disappointingly in the closing stages for valuable 1m6f handicap at Newmarket (made most) 16 days later; dam is sister to a 1m5f-2m winner, suggesting he should stay beyond 1m4f; even if back on song, however, this rise in class suggests he will register a place at best. |

Won three of his five handicaps, including warm events on good to firm at Ascot (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m3f) in his two starts this season; firmly in charge on first occasion and absolutely hacked up when 5-6 favourite in the latter 16 days ago; shoulders a 6lb penalty today, whereas his mark for future engagements is 11lb higher still; that suggests he wins today if he stays this new trip, and the dam being sister to a 1m5f-2m winner gives plenty of encouragement; deservedly a hot favourite. |

Fairly unexposed sort who showed his best form when taking 14-runner Ascot handicap (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; that race has worked out well, with the third and fourth winning big handicaps at Royal Ascot and at Epsom on Derby day respectively, so a 5lb rise now looks on the lenient side; form of his close second on final start of last year was also boosted at last week's royal meeting and he's a key contender. |

No great shakes on the Flat (1-11) but he did win his final run in that scene over 1m4f at Brighton in September (good to firm; also runner-up on soft); failed favourite backers when second on hurdling debut (Warwick; 2m, good) but the winner has since progressed to better things; absent since November but his yard has won two of the last four renewals of this; player. |
