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. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden but he was runner-up three times last season and wasn't beaten far when fifth in new headgear at Kempton (6f, AW) 11 days ago; that was eye-catching from off the pace and he's in the mix back up in trip. |
5/1 |

5th 6 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
15-race maiden but he did finish runner-up on three occasions last year (twice on the AW); however, he's been down the field in three starts this year and drops back in trip with a bit to prove; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
9/1 |

8th 8 (1) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; no impact in his two runs this year (following a wind operation) and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win from 13 starts was in a four-runner novice at Ascot (7f, soft) in September 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in his last five runs and has something to prove after another break. |
14/1 |

9th 9 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Some fair turf form for Brian Meehan, but despite plummeting in the weights has shown little in three AW starts for this yard, failing to beat a rival over 7f here in January; cheekpieces given a go, but some way down the stable's pecking order. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to fire for his new yard but he met some traffic issues when last of eight in 7f Southwell handicap 20 days ago; he was a fair 7f winner at his best for Brian Meehan so possibilities on his first go on Polytrack. |

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. |
9/2 |

4th 1 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins over shorter as a 3yo; improved when second at Kempton on his seasonal return last month (1m) and when third at Nottingham 17 days ago he found himself poorly positioned; well worth another crack at this trip and he should make a bold bid. |

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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on his best 2025 form but he's struggled in his last five starts including two runs for new yard this summer; overall record is now 1-18 and he has plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Good-ground 7f Newbury handicap winner off 1lb higher for Charlie Clover last term but, after rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam, he found Meydan a struggle in the winter; weakened to be beaten 8l in amateur riders' event at Chester (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was his stable debut after three months off and he's down to a career-low mark; might step forward so watch the market. |
25/1 |
|
9th 1 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 7f scorer for Charlie Clover in 2025; little show in a trio of runs in Meydan for Jane Chapple-Hyam early this year though; since changed hands for 10,000gns and he starts out for another new yard with more needed in first-timne cheekpieces. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Doubled his tally when winning over C&D in May off a 1lb lower mark than today's but he was below his best behind Gorgeous Mr George here (1m) four weeks ago; drops back in trip with a bounce back needed. |
9/2 |
|
7th 5 (10) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins from five starts this year, the latest in a 7f handicap here (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |
7/2 |
|
1st 8 (7) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 1-12 but his win came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March and he's held his form with three creditable efforts since; still looks on a workable mark and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Started handicap life for Karl Burke last summer on an unrealistic mark and struggled prior to being picked up for just 2,000gns in the autumn; finding his level now for his current yard and it wouldn't shock were he to pop up here, dropped another 3lb. |

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. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

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. |
