3rd 6 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 1m on turf/Polytrack in June last year, but those are his only victories in 34 starts; 9lb lower than for the latest, but others still look more compelling; eyeshield removed. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins have been over 1m; went close here over 8.5f in February and kept on into fourth (behind Cooramook) after missing the break over C&D last time; will need things to drop right given his hold-up style. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 (9) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
1m turf winner (soft/good to firm) who is 1-16 on AW (won over 1m on Polytrack); unexposed over 7f but to have a serious chance he'll need to raise the bar based on his last four starts. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |
|
12th 8 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner whose most recent win was at Kempton (1m, AW) last October off 1lb lower; not so good in his only four races since; absent 187 days before his last of 12 at Sandown four weeks ago, so he's a touch speculative this time. |
20/1 |
|
12th 3 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who won at Kempton (1m, AW) last October; however, this 8yo wasn't at the top of his game at Southwell (1m, AW) in January and he may improve for this first outing since. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice over 1m at Redcar last summer (good to firm/good to soft); fair effort on June's belated reappearance but a bit more needed. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Not beaten far into fifth of 13 in a better race at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) eight days ago and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race last year; interesting. |
7/2 |
|
5th 13 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runs; all three wins at 7f, the latest on Newcastle AW last August; probably found the return to 1m was pushing it on Kempton AW 15 days ago but he ran well for a long way and this test will work better for him. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A two-time 7f winner last summer; in good form this season until only seventh of nine in 7f Musselburgh handicap 16 days ago; the sort to bounce back though. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
No further progress since his successful yard debut over Hamilton's extended 1m in May and others look on better terms with the handicapper. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a long losing sequence (on his yard debut) over C&D in May but comes here on the back of a below-form sixth at Newcastle (1m) last month; needs to get back on track. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-race maiden whose encouraging turf form includes a good second in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster; close fifth to Arkenstaar, despite traffic issues, at Pontefract last week; clear possibilities off same mark. |
9/2 |
|
9 (2) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Only had three races and the close second at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) is the standout run; bit risky. |
8/1 |
|
4 (4) |
17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not without some promise on her belated debut over C&D in June and took a step forward when beaten half a length into second of 14 at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft; 66-1) last month; one for the shortlist. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Seen more often on the AW (3-21) than on turf (1-7); back off his last winning mark, but needs to improve on his last couple of efforts. |
13/2 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in February; wasn't far off that level in next three runs but his form slumped at Lingfield three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for last success but he needs to bounce back on this return to turf. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored off 2lb lower over C&D in February and has remained in good form, most recently when fourth of 15 on turf (8.3f, good) three weeks ago; ought to be on the premises again. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed some promise last season, including on the AW; got off the mark when neck-winner of a 1m6f handicap at Nottingham last time (good to firm; 20-1); up 3lb; a possible. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not taken to hurdles in a few runs lately; yet to finish placed on the Flat either and still has to prove his stamina over this far, so it's not easy making a case for him. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has shown some ability on the Flat (albeit without being placed) and wasn't disgraced when sixth on last month's hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but was well beaten after racing too freely at Bangor 11 days ago. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gradually went the wrong way for previous yard after making a successful debut and was comfortably held on stable debut at Bath (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) this month; little to suggest this big step up in trip will make a difference. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last April; fourth in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September but yet to make much of an impact in handicaps, so he can't be the percentage call on this first start since leaving Craig Lidster; tongue tied first time. |
12/1 |
|
20th 8 (18) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning debut at Newcastle (7f) last April; yet to make much of an impact in handicaps but he has dropped down the weights and he ran a solid race over C&D in the Leger Legends race last September; goes well after a break and he has a top amateur booked; interesting. |

12/1 |
|
5 (9) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't progressed since finishing fifth at Ayr (7f; blinkered) on debut in September and he failed to beat a rival home at Doncaster (1m2f; first-time tongue-tie) 27 days ago; back to 7f with returning blinkers added. |
18/1 |
|
9 (9) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Some promise in three 7f novices, albeit hasn't progressed; it's still early days and he's a possible improver upped to 1m2f on his handicap debut in a first-time tongue-tie but concerning to see him taken out on account of unsuitable (soft) ground recently. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Dual Flat winner whose best hurdling effort came with the switch to handicaps when third at Southwell (2m, good) in May, but he failed to match that form when well backed at Warwick nine days later; latest Flat run is best overlooked and he has claims if reproducing the Southwell effort. |
8/1 |

9th 2 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Well below market expectations over hurdles last time (potential stamina issues but has never been the most consistent) and returns to the Flat on a handy mark; course winner as a 2yo (good to soft) and he's considered under Fletcher Yarham. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner; ran his best race in this sphere when third of ten finishers at Southwell (2m, good) nine days ago on his handicap debut; has scope to improve further and should run well. |

9st 8lb |
Just held on to make all over C&D (good to firm) in June but has not kicked on from that success and does not appear to have much margin for error off current mark; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June but he followed it with much lesser efforts in 1m2f handicaps at Windsor and Pontefract; others are preferred. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (1m) and back on the scoresheet by a short head when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; rather mixed this term but his seventh of eight at Windsor last time came in warm race and today's opposition is less demanding. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all and held on in tenacious fashion at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; handily drawn but he faces competition for the lead on what is only the second 5f start of his career. |

1st 4 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Legends Classified Stakes here (1m; 40-1) last September; knocking on the door over 7f here (23) in recent times; competitively weighted from an unchanged mark, and a danger to all if allowed uncontested lead back at 6f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Broadly inconsistent but his form at Doncaster features a success in last year's Leger Legends race and resurgent effort behind Bella Bisbee in latest start; better off with that rival and due to go back up 1lb in future. |
