9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gained the second leg of August double (6f) at Chelmsford; went too freely last time; drops to 5f in another change of headgear. |

8th 5 (4) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has switched between cheekpieces and a visor on last few starts, running well each time; visor back on today; won two nurseries in a row last month (6f, good to firm/AW) and third at Haydock (7f, good) last time when fading close home; unraced on slow ground; firmly in calculations now back at 6f. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Took a while to find his feet but has taken off lately, making the breakthrough in a Catterick nursery (good to firm) in first-time blinkers last month before following up under a penalty in a similar event at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) in a first-time visor; penalised again but he's 2lb well in, promises to stay 7f, and is respected back in cheekpieces. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
75-rated on the Flat, with three wins (5f-7f; all for Karl Burke) from 15 starts; is closely related to the 2m1f Flat and 2m hurdle/chase winner Hazran, which suggests that he's worth a go over obstacles; monitor only. |
8/1 |

11th 12 (13) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Stepped up on the form of any of this three wins as a 2yo (for Karl Burke) when second over 1m here in May; had three-next-time-out winners behind him on that occasion but he hasn't reproduced that level in four subsequent outings; all 13 turf starts have come on good/good to firm; needs a return to Haydock to spark a revival. |
16/1 |

12th 14 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Three-time winner for Karl Burke (5f/7f); ran well at Haydock (1m, good) on his stable debut in May but he was below that level on his next two starts, and was safely held when third of four at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins over 7f; has run well in two starts here this year at 1m (good to firm) and 6f (good to soft), but looks to have her share of weight for a competitive race like this. |
14/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; added to her AW win last summer when scoring over C&D in July and she gave it a good shot from the front when third at Salisbury (6f) last week; looks fairly exposed after 13 starts but she should be in the mix again. |
9/2 |

3rd 11 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Runner-up twice in a row in June (7f/1m, soft/good to firm; including here) before winning at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July; down the field at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago when pulling hard but it's possible today's first attempt at 6f will be a good move. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win on AW as a 2yo; had a rare off day at York in July but he's been in good form over 1m in his other starts this year, most recently back on the AW; not exactly ahead of his mark but likely to have a say. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 (5) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
AW winner (1m) last September; his form dipped at York 40 days ago but he had been in good form earlier in the year; each-way shout. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both AW wins at Lingfield (5f-6f); hasn't shown much in his last three starts - RPRs 34, 25 and 38 respectively; is competitively handicapped if able to rediscover a spark, but his trainer holds better chance with Cosmic Clarets; look elsewhere. |
40/1 |
|
10th 7 (1) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both AW wins have been at Lingfield earlier in the year (6f/5f) but he's struggled on his last two starts; others have stronger claims. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (11) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Scored twice on Lingfield AW in the spring but has been below form since; down to a career-low mark but others preferred. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
6f win here in July; had a torrid run through a Carlisle handicap last month and quickly made amends when scoring easily at Beverley (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) 13 days ago; a 3lb rise demands further progress but likely there is more in the tank. |
7/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
6f win at Pontefract in July and followed it with a solid third at Chepstow last month (again 6f, good to firm); 11th of 12 at Carlisle (5f, good) 13 days ago but that doesn't tell the tale as he had nowhere to go as the race was unfolding, eventually allowed to come home in his own time; one to consider with cheekpieces now added. |
5/1 |
|
11th 5 (6) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Came back to form on his third start for this yard when winning at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in July before a respectable third of eight at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) last month; claims if handling the drop back to 5f but he isn't proven on ground slower than good. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
A fair 1m juvenile maiden but he came in last of seven after three months off in 7f handicap here 23 days ago; in good hands but much more is needed. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unable to make a significant impact in three handicaps last year; dips into a 0-60 for the first time back from three months off but others are more obvious. |
6/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well beaten when upped to 1m on nursery/AW debut but kept on nicely when close sixth of eight at Haydock (7f, good) last time and is worth another go at this trip; has shown promise on good to soft; chance. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Ran respectably on fast ground last time when bidding for a 7f Yarmouth double (maiden previously); may have more to offer at this level, especially when the ground is slow; gained his win on soft. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning on soft ground over this C&D three weeks ago (third start since being gelded); back up 3lb and likely has quicker ground to handle today. |
5/1 |

1st 7 (3) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden; shaped a bit better than the bare result, while seeming outstayed over 1m, at Haydock (good to soft) most recently; could go well off a reduced mark back down in trip. |
10/1 |
