1st 5 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo filly who readily beat 14 rivals at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in sole start this season, taking turf record to 4-4; looks likely to cope with an 8lb rise; goes well fresh and commands respect on return from another break, with further improvement very plausible. |

1st 5 (13) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Close third on debut last March then won her next three, completing the hat-trick on handicap debut at Ascot (7f, soft) in September; head second at Southwell (7f, AW) 16 days later and the winner landed the Hambleton at York last month; makes reappearance and could prove to be well treated. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |
4/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of a career-low mark when scoring here (7f) last month; a shade unlucky when beaten a short head at Southwell (7f, AW) since and should not be far away. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sole win came in a four-runner Ascot novice (7f, soft) as a 2yo and has only made the frame twice in 12 starts in handicaps, but soft ground does suit him well so any further rain would be a positive; mark continues to fall and a visor is given a go; interesting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 7f novice at Ascot as 2yo; smart handicap form there (7f, soft) last September, when a close third of 12 in a much better race than this under Billy Loughnane, who rides him for the first time in 2026; not yet recaptured form for this yard but he's dropped right down the weights and this is his best chance of the year; cheekpieces refitted. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Won a four-runner novice at Ascot (7f, soft) in September 2024; well handicapped on some of his form but needs to rediscover a spark. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
His second of 11 over C&D (wore cheekpieces) on reappearance in March was a new high and he bettered that when landing soft-ground Yarmouth handicap (1m) in first-time blinkers in June; off since and no headgear for this stable debut (same owners) but he still commands respect. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice as a 3yo, including a handicap at Goodwood (1m, good) last May; placed on his first two starts this year (1m/1m2f) but below his best when held in fourth at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) 46 days ago; drops back in trip with blinkers now tried. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Has a rather all-or-nothing profile, easily winning 7f Leicester nursery (heavy) last October and a Lingfield handicap (7.6f, soft) in June; not sure what to expect and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
33/1 |
|
11 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Very patchy profile and he's yet to reproduce the form of his wide-margin Lingfield win (7.5f, soft) in June, when possibly flattered by bagging the stands' side rail; handicapper still in an unforgiving mood. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins on soft/heavy ground over 7f in 2024; quite inconsistent since but did run respectably when fourth of 12 at Brighton (1m, good) 23 days ago; cheekpieces back on. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but is well treated on his best form and drops into a 0-70 for the first time; worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On dangerous mark but he's generally struggled this year except for a fair third in a Chester handicap (7.6f, good) last month; had tough task in a claimer last time but he's now 1-21 and others are more convincing |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |

Three wins for James Owen this year, the latest over 1m here (good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 7f winner this season; looked as good as ever when clear second to progressive rival at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago but recent 4lb rise demands a bit more from him here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but has form over this far and it might yet end up being his best trip; due a 1lb rise after finding one too good at Yarmouth last time (7f); unlikely to be too far away. |

C&D win as a 2yo; first success since when dead-heating in a 1m handicap here 23 days ago (subsequently awarded first place outright); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (6) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Just 1lb higher than when making a successful nursery debut here (7f) in September 2024, but has been out of form for a while and has still to convince over this far. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won a modest 8.6f seller at Wolverhampton last September; not so good since and he'll need to be at his best to take this; is at least unexposed at the trip. |

5th 6 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ended his 2025 campaign in sellers, winning once and finishing third twice; well treated on best form but isn't sure to reproduce it and record of 0-8 in handicaps adds doubt. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Beaten 12 times since his winning debut (for Karl Burke); went close at Chelmsford in March but two runs since have been underwhelming; tongue-tie now reached for. |
16/1 |

10th 6 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won since his debut in February last year when trained by Karl Burke; went close when beaten a nose at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and if he can reproduce that effort on turf then he would be a player. |
10/1 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still to add to his debut success (for Karl Burke) but he went desperately close at Chelmsford last month, running on well at the finish; handicap mark left unchanged and he needs serious consideration. |

Got up on the line in apprentice race at Chepstow (soft) on Tuesday to complete a 7f double; back up in grade but escapes a penalty; fighting chance off the same mark. |

3 (4) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo who got off the mark in a blanket finish at Leicester (7f, good) in July; 1lb higher and may have more improvement in him with that win under his belt. |
