23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
0-10 since his debut win at Leicester (5f, good to firm) last May but has posted some good efforts, including when caught too far back in a steadily run race over this C&D three weeks ago (first start since being gelded); enters calculations. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

0-9 since his debut win at Leicester last May, but he's had some close calls including when third at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in July; only 1lb higher here and he's respected on his first run after gelding operation. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Much the most exposed of these and arrives here off the back of a particularly poor run; cheekpieces introduced last time are now removed. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 7f Southwell victory and comes here on the back of a solid third of four in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap in March; not out of things with cheekpieces added. |
16/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Added to his Bath maiden win when landing a 7f handicap at Southwell (Tapeta) in January; only 2lb higher today but he's been well held in his last two runs and has stamina to prove at this new trip. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Achieved similar amount when runner-up first three starts; tad underwhelming on nursery debut at Goodwood before producing a laboured effort at Newbury (gelded in between); it's possible he missed the blinkers last time as they're back on here; safer options elsewhere for all moving up to 1m promises to suit; AW debut. |
7/2 |
|
3 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in first three starts, failing odds-on backers in the last two of them; went off favourite again for a valuable Glorious Goodwood nursery (7f, heavy) in July and kept at it, after an awkward start, to finish sixth of 11; might be looking for 1m now but he's far from ruled out; has been gelded. |
10/1 |
|
3 (6) |
31st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in all his races, failing odds-on backers the last twice (dictated matters last time at Epsom over 7f); however, possibly bumped into useful rivals on both those occasions and perhaps a truly run race in this bigger field will bring him on; yard won this last year. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins from eight starts, latterly in a nursery here (7f, good to soft; unraced on worse) last month when ridden by 7lb claimer; always-prominent third of ten in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good; 7-1) 15 days ago confirms that she has a leading chance in this field on form. |
13/8 |
|
3rd 8 (4) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Regained the winning thread in Newbury nursery (7f) last time when racing off a mark of 82 and ridden by 7lb claimer; far from certain to follow up on these terms. |
12/1 |
|
4 (2) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Easily made all at Brighton (6f, good) in May on third start then mid-division in the Group 3 Albany at Royal Ascot; she weakened on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft) in July but saw it out better on good to firm when second of six at Newmarket (also 7f) last time; probably wants the ground to dry out. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
His run of solid placed efforts (including over C&D in April) hit the buffers when he finished well adrift in first-time cheekpieces (subsequently removed) on his penultimate start; had a pace excuse when held up in a slowly run race at Kempton last time, however, and there's nothing wrong with this mark. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Haydock maiden and a Carlisle novice last summer; has gone close in three of his five starts this season but he was tailed off at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last time; needs to bounce back after that major blip and he's untried on AW; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |
9/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Narrowly beaten on three of his four starts since being gelded, going down on the nod at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on latest; should go close again off an unchanged mark, especially if first-time headgear has a positive effect. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
In-form 3yo who has reached the frame in AW handicaps (1m) in his last three runs, most recently when third at Kempton two weeks ago; record is now 1-10, but his dam won over 1m2f and he's respected at this new trip; cheekpieces worn in last two starts are removed. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
3yo who ended last season with a Newcastle win (1m, AW) and has run well in three of his four starts this season including when fourth of 14 at Newcastle (cheekpieces added) last month; still has low mileage and he should be in the mix again. |
7/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with C&D victory and he's advanced his form this season, posting good third of 14 in 1m Kempton handicap 26 days ago; cheekpieces added; merits consideration from an unchanged mark. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his first two for this yard, having joined from Richard Hannon, and has continued in form off his revised mark since; wants a good test over an easy 6f but has claims if he gets one in first-time headgear. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 1-13 for Richard Hannon but he won on his stable debut at Glorious Goodwood before following up with a last-gasp success at Redcar (both 6f on good to firm); up another 3lb but he's on a roll and is effective on slow ground including heavy; big player again back up in trip. |
5/4 |

1st 1 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Record of 1-13 for Richard Hannon but he made a bright start for his new yard when beating 25 rivals at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last Wednesday; up 4lb for that narrow success but he did well to overcome trouble and is a major player again on this drop back in grade. |

9st 10lb |
Opened his account when winning at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July and he's posted two respectable efforts since, including when racing alone at Leicester (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; below his best on his only previous try on the AW. |

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

3yo for whom things clicked with a convincing win at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July and he went close at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) a fortnight later; in good hands to continue to progress; on the shortlist. |
13/2 |

2nd 6 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when justifying 13-8 favouritism with a comfortable win at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 7lb but that was a personal best last time and he's still unexposed at this trip; key player. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Stayed on as strongly as any at Windsor latest (6f, good to firm) after a slow start; more galloping test at the trip is a likely plus, and just a case of whether he helps himself sufficiently; eased 1lb. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Second of seven on his nursery debut last July (7f, good to firm) but that was followed by two lacklustre efforts (gelded before latest); back down in trip for his reappearance and goes in blinkers for the first time. |
12/1 |
|
11 (8) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Patchy form in qualifying runs and two nurseries, but it may be encouraging that his best form in the latter sphere came when second over C&D (good to firm) in July; has been racing freely so a gelding operation may have helped too. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Didn't look progressive in his qualifying races over 6f but was only a length away on nursery debut at Newbury (7f) and he was keen enough in that race; only 1lb higher and there's every chance he'll settle better this afternoon. |
