30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two fine runs at Sandown this season and when disappointing at Haydock last time there was a valid excuse (blindfold off late and stumbled at the start before racing furthest from the stands' rail); now 2lb higher but not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (6) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time turf winner, including on soft, who just failed to reel in a very well-backed favourite at Sandown (5f, good to soft) on Saturday; does tend to go well at that track but he runs off the same mark (2lb well in) and is firmly considered. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 5f winner at Chepstow this season; managed only sixth of nine behind Moe's Legacy here (5.7f good to firm) last month, though, and might still be a shade too high in the weights. |
9/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Drawn wide at Chester last time and had previously won narrowly at Chepstow (5f, good to soft), maintaining his good season; perhaps high in the weights now, though. |
15/2 |
|
8th 12 (10) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Gained second win of the season at Chepstow last time (5f, good to soft) but now 4lb higher and has no easy task from stall 10. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June and back on song when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good) last month; raced wide when close sixth of nine at Kempton (6f, AW) last time; should be fine back at 5f; possible player. |

6th 9 (6) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Back in form last time, in the Doncaster handicap he'd won last season; any number of short-priced defeats to his name and isn't consistent, but is fine on the AW and capable if in the mood. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 12 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won this last year (good) and is worth a second look; however, he hasn't really shone since winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June which tempers enthusiasm regarding his claims. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has won over a similar trip to this but latest success was over 7f and he was staying on all too late when third to Neptune Legend over C&D earlier this year; he'll need a strong pace to chase. |
20/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Doubled his winning tally when beating four rivals (including Too Much Trevor) over C&D (good to firm) 16 days ago; only 2lb higher and may be the one to capitalise if Prefer The Sister runs below form. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-26 but generally consistent; didn't show any obvious improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and likely to be competing for minor honours. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time turf winner, latterly off this mark in June, who hasn't achieved a lot on the AW; lost his way of late and is some way down the pecking order. |
25/1 |
|
11th 7 (1) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Five wins over 5f/6f on varying ground on turf, the latest at Chepstow (5f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) in June; twice held since, though, and needs to get back on track. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to run a bad race after five starts for new stable this year, the latest a fifth of 16 in first-time tongue-tie at Redcar (6f, good) four weeks ago; also suited by 5f but 0-29 career strike-rate is difficult to overlook. |
9/1 |
|
5th 11 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Went close over C&D two runs ago but wasn't so good at Hamilton 11 days ago and is now 0-28; a first-time tongue-tie is added. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
27-race maiden but he went close to getting off the mark when beaten a neck at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago; drops back in trip with solid place claims. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Had a bit in hand when winning over C&D last month and was caught on the line over 6f here nine days ago (off this 3lb higher mark); has to go well again. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five of his last seven wins have come at Brighton, including when he took six-runner handicap (5.5f, good to firm) in August; comparable form back at that track on his last two outings, but they suggest he needs a bit extra from this mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Has won seven times for current yard, including over C&D; scored off 2lb higher at Lingfield in June and hasn't been beaten far on last two runs; not out of this. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (5) |
29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple winner but she'll need to run better than she has in her last three races, and usually runs Chepstow well. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three course wins over 5f/6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark and softening ground wouldn't be a problem, but she needs to do better than in her last two starts. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten-favourite in five of his last six starts, latterly behind Thanks Dad at Yarmouth, and has tended to pull hard/not see it out in a few starts at beyond sprint trips; capable off this mark but is still a maiden and comes with risks attached. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still to score but he's a reliable type and comes here after a good second of eight in 5.5f classified event at Brighton in June; recent cheekpieces are left off here (just hooded) and he can go well after a break. |
9/4 |
|
5 (13) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; track and ground no concern and he was running on well when second over 5.3f here 12 days ago; has been placed over 7f but others may see it out better. |
7/2 |
