3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won Beverley maiden (7.4f, good to firm) in June and has gone close in handicaps on his next three starts (including on good to soft), most recently behind subsequent Cambridgeshire runner-up Indalo in the Racing League at Southwell (1m, AW); this progressive 3yo is firmly in calculations. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 12 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won Beverley maiden in June on his fifth start and has gone close the next twice, most recently beaten a neck in Racing League at Windsor (1m) a fortnight ago; has a 5lb rise to defy but this 3yo was clear of the third last time and is in good hands to continue to progress; on the shortlist. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden for whom the drop back to 7f isn't an obvious positive; however, he could he sharper in the first-time visor and he was denied a clear run when fourth of 15 at Newbury (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, when no match for three improving, fellow 3yos; could be a contender. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-10 albeit in the frame on ten occasions, as when beaten a head into second of four in a Wolverhampton maiden (9.5f, AW) a fortnight ago; this looks a competitive race in which to attempt to break his duck, though. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Useful form in defeat as a 2yo; comparable efforts in handicap company at Goodwood (1m, good) in May and at Southwell nine days ago; leading form claims but could be vulnerable to something less exposed. |

Second in a division of this last year (soft) and three wins this term; ran okay when fifth of 13 at Beverley last time and not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
8 (12) |
23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |
10/1 |
|
6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Similar type to Hot Cash, having been successful on most recent start in this grade (8.5f, AW); however, looks harshly handicapped, being 5lb higher than last attempt on turf. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
3yo who made it three wins from his nine starts when taking a Racing League event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; very disappointing in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Thursday and needs to bounce back swiftly, but he's not discounted in view of previous promise. |
12/1 |
|
9 (14) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His first win at around a mile when beating 12 rivals with some comfort in a Racing League handicap at Wolverhampton; effectively only 2lb higher with Jack Nicholls taking off 5lb. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade. |
3/1 |
|
9th 17 (16) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft ground; better than ever this season, winning at Doncaster (good to soft) and following up at Southwell (again 7f, AW); solid second to Sterling Knight (1m, good) last time but he'll need more from the same mark. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
6/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dropped down the weights last summer and he has rediscovered his spark this time around, following third-placed efforts here and at Goodwood with a comfortable Salisbury success (all over 7f); probably stays this far but he has yet to be placed in his six 1m starts so it will be breaking new ground for him to win today. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't won since defying a 10lb higher mark at Glorious Goodwood two years ago but his two efforts this term are very encouraging, latest back at Goodwood (7f, soft); attractively treated and firmly in the mix. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
None too consistent and he has been well beaten on his last two starts; has the lowest BHA rating in the field and has to concede weight all round so he looks up against it. |
7/1 |
|
3 (11) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Blew hot and cold for his former stable and it has been a similar story for James Owen, his win at Southwell and second over 1m here surrounded by lesser efforts; chance if on one of his good days; cheekpieces added to usual accessories. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Emphatic win on stable debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) early last month; disappointing in next two runs but he got back on track with a clear second at Kempton (hood reapplied) 11 days ago; on unchanged mark and has claims if he can back that up. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |
9/1 |
|
9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |
66/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All 11 wins on the AW, including one over C&D, though his latest success for the Moores was in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; out of the frame in all four starts for this yard since then and may be best watched despite his declining mark. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m) early this year; runner-up over 1m in two of his four starts on turf but below form in both spheres on last two outings; bit to prove, including on softer than good. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (15) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins in AW novices (7f/1m), but runner-up in two of his three starts on turf (both over this trip on straight tracks); needs to put a modest effort at Southwell (1m, AW) behind him, though. |
14/1 |
|
13th 10 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
C&D novice winner who was a close third in a warm 3yo handicap over C&D last month; beaten 5l when runner-up at Newmarket since but behind a fast-improving winner and the AW may be more his thing; major player back here. |

9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Into the veteran stage but in the form of his life this winter, finishing third over C&D before a Wolverhampton win and a Southwell second; likely vulnerable to an improver but should give his running again. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three of four 1m handicap starts to end last season, including on soft; disappointed in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on reappearance (final start for Ed Bethell) but better signs when sixth of 13 in 1m Southwell Racing League event last month on his first outing for Richard Fahey; entitled to come on for the run. |
12/1 |

2 (12) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins last season from his first four handicaps; well beaten in the Spring Mile in March on sole run this year and has since left Ed Bethell (remains in same ownership); not written off but others have less to prove. |
14/1 |
|
8 (15) |
29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Looks versatile as regards ground; record of 3-4 since handicapping, most recently winning the Straight-Mile Series Final at Redcar last October; gelded since; improving sort who is 1-1 over C&D and commands respect. |

Threatening to win a good prize; unlucky second in last year's Cambridgeshire and finished third, best of the far-side runners, in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; 1-1 at Sandown; big chance provided the cards drop right. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 27 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on softer than good; record is 4-11 (AW/turf); good second in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (would likely have won but for traffic issues) and Newbury event (collared by Classic) in last two appearances; progressive, represents last year's winning yard and has a big prize in him; respected. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 10 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive most starts in 2025 and a strong finish took him to within a nose of victory against an all-the-way winner in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) on final outing; raised 4lb after that big-race performance but should still be of major interest if tuned up for this return. |

Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year, who ran well when seventh of 24 in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last week; she's below her last winning mark and has strong claims back down in grade. |

7th 21 (15) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; now 2lb lower than for that success, but she took her turf record to 0-11 when only sixth of 11 at Chester (extended 1m2f) last time; this is more her trip but she's still hard to make a case for. |
80/1 |

6th 12 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; back off the same mark as for that success, but she is 0-10 on turf and has never attempted this far before. |
