12th 7 (6) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
It was a fourth AW success when scoring at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday, but he knows how to get it done on turf too and his previous second of six over C&D (good to firm) was a creditable effort; has won off this mark and Billy Loughnane takes over; player. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Trainer has won with his last three runners and has a good course record with older horses (10-35); this 5yo is 3-3 round here, is fairly treated, in form and won't be hurt by going back into a bigger field as a hold-up runner; leading player. |
9/4 |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Leicester (6f) in April; running well since and just edged out when third of 26 in 6f Goodwood handicap 23 days ago; that form is proving very strong, so he merits serious consideration despite 2lb rise. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 12 (16) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; respectable sixth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago but suspicion he'll prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |
40/1 |
|
6th 10 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; today's return to sprinting is in his favour but he's likely to be vulnerable at this level. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won maiden and novice events at Lingfield (turf) as a 2yo; 0-9 in handicaps but placed on her last five starts, the last two in competitive Racing League events; cheekpieces are now given a go; high on the list. |
7/2 |
|
7 (9) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner who has been threatening a breakthrough in handicaps and got a bit far back last time at Wolverhampton (8.6f); bang there on turf in her two previous races and she enters the reckoning. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still seeking her first handicap success but she's run well to be placed in her last three starts; drawn widest and she'll need a bit more to win but the extended mile could suit. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual Southwell winner off lower marks early in the year who ran poorly there when last seen and has been off for almost four months since; would need a career-best in order to take this. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement. |
5/1 |
|
12th 8 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came in June last year for George Boughey when 3lb lower; should be better for first run in nine months when seventh of nine at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month but may need to come down the weights. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a couple of wide stalls to deal with over 7f on the AW lately and may yet have more to offer as a sprinter; interesting to see how he goes in the market, back from nine months off, for a yard also responsible for Expert Agent. |
16/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked one to follow when producing a dominant display at Lingfield in June (6f, AW; second handicap run); only third behind H Key Lails over C&D next time but ran well for third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; not seen to best effect on his stable debut last month but he's not fully exposed and could have a bigger run in him; stable form is hard to fault. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight AW wins and latest was over C&D (April); backward steps in his two starts since, finishing last of seven on latest (C&D; 33-1) after two months off but he now drops back in class. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Career-best effort when making all up the rail at Lingfield (7f, good) in June; not so good since and his five runs on ground slower than good have seen him finish unplaced. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Returned from a break with an all-the-way win under James Glennon at Lingfield (7f, good) in June and he's fine at 1m; however, he's finished merely seventh on his last two starts and has to raise his game. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (11) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Eight-time winner (7f/1m) at a lower level, including when he comfortably made all at Lingfield (7f, good) at the start of last month; 50-1 when he made no impact in this grade at Sandown three weeks ago, however. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last September on his second start; third on his handicap/seasonal debut in April but he hasn't gone on from that since, though did run respectably at Chelmsford two weeks ago. |
6/1 |
|
10 (7) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Made all in a Wolverhampton maiden one year ago (7f); ran well for third on his handicap/seasonal debut at Southwell in April (7f) but that hasn't proved to be a springboard to better things; edging down the weights but other options are stronger. |
12/1 |
|
5 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won 7f Wolverhampton maiden as 2yo and was close up over C&D on handicap debut in April; back to that level when visored at Lingfield last time and should run well. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

11 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Mixed bag in his six starts, with his two handicap runs yielding heavy defeats; lacklustre run at Southwell last time has seen connections turn to headgear; others look safer. |
20/1 |
