4th 10 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when scoring at York (1m, good to firm) last month and was denied clear run in closing stages when very respectable fifth at Ascot (7f, good to firm) a fortnight later; still unexposed over 1m and remains very much of interest. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (12) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins at this trip and he was down to his previous winning mark when popping up at 25-1 in 11-runner handicap over 1m at York (good to firm) a fortnight ago; that was a comfortable career best and he might need to better it back down to 7f from 6lb higher; still respected. |
5/1 |

1st 7 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have come over 7f and latest was at Southwell in March; creditable third back there next time but has found it harder on turf since; has returned to the mark he defied at Southwell but has too much too prove, including stamina for 1m (remote last of four previous attempt). |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
After winning a three-runner Bath handicap (1m, firm) in May he beat one rival at Salisbury and Ffos Las; drops back to 7f in new cheekpieces; comes with risks. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He got off the mark at the ninth attempt in a three-runner handicap at Bath (1m, firm) in May; however, well beaten at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) since and he needs to settle better today. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Close third in tactical race when upped to this trip at Chepstow (good to firm) last month and has now made the frame in her last four handicaps; could still have untapped potential over 1m4f; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has run some solid races in handicaps at Bath this year, latest when runner-up (1m2f, good) last month; there is a good chance that this step up in trip will eke out more improvement in the search of her first win. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Third in 1m/1m2f handicaps on firm ground here on last two starts; different ground today but she has far more solid claims than most of these. |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Left Brian Meehan for 14,000gns; now a nine-race maiden after finishing last of five on yard debut at Leicester (1m). |
14/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort for Brian Meehan came over 1m2f (managed second) and was last seen stretching out to 1m4f; changed hands for 14,000gns this month; this won't take much winning and a positive market move would look significant; goes without headgear. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Showed improved form in first-time blinkers when a good second at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May and he's posted two respectable efforts since, albeit he didn't look to relish this the step up to this trip at Newmarket two weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Unable to live up to his market billing when unplaced this summer in his first two handicaps (1m, good/good to firm) and improvement is needed; however, he has a useful pedigree and represents an in-form yard, and things may click at some point. |
9/2 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Marked improvement is needed but he's had just four races; fifth of ten on seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) four weeks ago failed to match his market position but he staged something of a rally, after hanging left over 2f out, and might build on that. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Some sign of ability last season over 7f and could be a different proposition now handicapping after being gelded; market useful. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when trouncing his rivals at Windsor and he followed up with a 5l success at Carlisle (1m, good) last month; shot up the weights after those wins but he ran another good race when a close fourth over C&D last month; needs to kick on again to defy this mark but he's still lightly raced and is bred to be useful. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unexposed gelding who has form figures of 211 in handicaps and who has won by 5l at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (1m, good) in those last two runs; up another 11lb but he still looks feasibly on his latest form and is open to more progress; major player. |
7/4 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Improved effort when just denied on his handicap debut at Windsor (1m) in May and he made no mistake with an emphatic win over that C&D (also good to firm) 12 days ago; raised 10lb but he's firmly on the up and looks the one to beat. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Left Harry Charlton for 18,000gns; made a striking winning stable debut over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago; hit with a 10lb rise but that form has been boosted twice since; massively respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Second of nine at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, after which he was sold out of Harry Charlton's stable for 18,000gns; should have more to offer over this trip; interesting. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-7 and his claims aren't compelling, but soft ground may not have suited this 3yo last time and there have been signs of promise previously; edging down the weights and things may click at some point. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Probably achieved little when a remote fourth over C&D last month (300-1). |

4th 6 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
150-1 and beaten out of sight in a novice at Salisbury (7f, good) last October; gelded since and can only be watched on return for new yard. |
200/1 |

8th 8 (3) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

By Sergei Prokofiev and out of a 7f winner (RPR 81); the yard has yet to have a Flat winner and surprise if the first one arrives here. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
3yo who resumed his progress and made it 2-5 when making all in a Sandown handicap (1m, good to firm) last month; 4lb higher on this step up in grade but he had something in hand last time and could continue on an upward curve; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Bettered low-key debut when narrow winner of Chepstow maiden (7f, good to firm) in May but was last of four on recent handicap/AW debut; remains lightly raced and might be happier back on turf but others appeal more. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hooded all starts; won a Chepstow maiden (7f, good) in May on second outing and similar form when second in a Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) last time; better is needed on this handicap/AW debut but early days. |
