24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair 1m4f Flat scorer who gained a first win in this sphere at Fakenham (2m) in January; faded from last flight when sixth of nine in 2m Worcester handicap on his return 23 days ago and should strip sharper here. |

Gained a first win in this sphere in five-runner handicap at Fakenham (2m) when last seen in January; up 3lb but has gone well fresh, so not ruled out after a break. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won over about 1m on Wolverhampton AW on final start in 2024 but he's had some low-key results at that trip and 1m2f for this yard and this new distance is a step into the unknown. |
33/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended last season with a win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) but he's been out of sorts in three runs for new yard this summer; still lightly raced and now 4lb lower than for his success, but he needs a major revival |
33/1 |
|
9th 4 (6) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winner at the fifth attempt for Archie Watson last year (8.6f, AW); can't support on what we've seen following wind surgery this season, including when finishing three places (and 11l) behind Bamburgh at Ayr last time. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

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. |
20/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Stout stayer who was placed over C&D (good) in September and opened his account at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) the following month; made a low-key reappearance last month but has possibilities if that run brought him on. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Improved as his stamina was drawn out last season, winning over 2m2f here in October (soft); below par on extremely deep ground at Nottingham when last seen 211 days ago but that is not the run to judge him on; unlikely he has reached his ceiling and he's an interesting contender. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive maiden under both codes for four yards (trainer also saddles Tenadaay, who looks his best chance); hard to make a case for her back in the cheekpieces. |
50/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
With her third trainer, first run for him when 40-1 and well beaten at Kempton (2m, AW) this month; overall scores are 0-8 on Flat and 0-5 over hurdles, and clearly her best Flat effort was over 2m1f last September in a first-time visor; 6lb lower today but others are still preferred. |
40/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Fair staying maiden; in decent nick over hurdles when last seen for Denis Hogan in May so she's no forlorn hope starting out for her new yard here. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful handicap debut over 1m3f at Hamilton (first-time blinkers) in July but he's not come near that form in two runs since and switches to the AW and a new trip with plenty to prove; headgear discarded. |
9/1 |
|
3 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in Hamilton contest (1m3f) and soft ground looks a plausible excuse for his poor effort later in July; this 3yo colt remains unexposed. |
11/2 |
|
5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Blinkers added for handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good; unraced on softer) 11 days ago and he improved to make all in eight-runner race at 25-1, with the first two nearly 7l clear; up 6lb on different ground but should stay and it's likely he will again be able to dictate the pace. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran poorly last time, taking turf record to 0-6; broadly consistent on AW otherwise for current yard and he is 2-2 over C&D, the wins gained last autumn; 3-8 overall in this sphere; likely to be played late by Jamie Spencer (up for first time) and has possibilities back here. |
9/2 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with him landing a hat-trick, including two over 2m round Southwell, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; solid effort there last Thursday, back from a few months off (1m3f), but he'll want a similarly strong pace this evening. |

Beaten 15l and more in three runs at 1m4f and 1m3f, two of them on this track; handicaps will prove more suitable but the assessor hasn't felt generous. |

9st 8lb |
1m6f and 2m wins on the AW last season and by clear daylight; excellent third at Newmarket (1m4f) after a break and it wasn't a bad run at Sandown (1m6f) where he hung in the closing stages; could be a factor if bringing his best game. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
His two wins last season (1m6f and 2m) both came on AW and by wide margins; also fully effective on turf and he made a most encouraging seasonal return when keeping on strongly in a 1m4f handicap (good ground) at Newmarket four weeks ago; still capable of better and the return to 1m6f will suit; Tom Marquand a good booking (a win and a fourth from two rides for the stable in the last five years); strong claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return. |

Didn't look an easy ride at Yarmouth (1m6f, soft) in June but still managed to win readily; has winning form on Polytrack and is likely to make his presence felt despite a 5lb rise. |

1st 1 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came on the AW at Chelmsford (1m6f) in December but he's posted some good efforts since, including on turf at Catterick (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; each-way chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Returned to form when third at Ripon (6f, good) last month and again ran well when second at Ayr (7f, soft) last Saturday; his sole win came here and he could be involved. |
