3rd 1 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Nothing like the force of old but won comfortably on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (2m, good; first win since 2021) last month, despite refusing to settle in early stages; only second when odds-on to follow up in four-runner race at Doncaster (1m6f, good to firm; again raced too freely) soon afterwards but at least we know he's in good nick. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed 8yo but he was returning from 264 days off when winning by 3.5l at Ffos Las nine days ago (2m, good), despite pulling hard; Zoe Lewis rides again with a 4lb penalty; if as good again he'll be tough to beat. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won four times over hurdles but has been mixing it over fences (three wins) and on the Flat for the last two years; solid return to hurdles when third of eight finishers at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July; more exposed than most but holds place claims. |
8/1 |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Better known as a jumper and hasn't won on the Flat since 2023; it's unclear what his latest second here amounts to as only four ran and the odds-on winner bolted up. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |

Has done most of his winning over jumps and gained his only Flat success three years ago; placed in ordinary handicap hurdle last time; returns to this code for first time since last autumn. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Convincing winner at Catterick (2m, good) in August and following effort was respectable; ran no race last time at Chester but wouldn't be without hope if back on song. |
20/1 |
|
11th 13 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to turf with convincing win at Catterick (2m good) last month and has the plum inside draw here but had to settle for fifth off new mark a fortnight ago and may find younger rivals better handicapped again. |
12/1 |
|
1 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner whose success at Catterick (2m, good) three weeks ago was a first win on turf for nearly four years; might need a fraction more up 4lb but that was a pretty convincing success; Colin Keane's first ride for the yard; respected. |

Beaten favourite on the AW last time when seeking a fifth win on those surfaces; 0-5 on turf and probably best to look elsewhere. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time turf winner who is 1-14 at Bath; on dangerous mark and is effective at this trip but she's had only three runs this season and has been well held in all of them; needs to raise her game. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time turf winner who is 1-13 here; has dropped to a good mark but she's been very quiet in two runs after an absence. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
All six of her wins came on turf, the last three over 1m6f; she hasn't won since September 2023, however, and was beaten 22l over C&D (good) on her reappearance in May; will need to have derived plenty of benefit from that. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in May and good third on the Flat at Bath (2m1f, good) in June; well-beaten fifth of 12 at Chester (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago but may have been unsuited by the tight track and today's test of stamina could be right up his street. |
9/2 |

5th 12 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
C&D winner on heavy ground in 2024 off an 18lb higher mark than today's and he gained his first success over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May; ran a solid race when third of eight at Bath (2m1f, good) three months ago and makes plenty of appeal. |

5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Didn't look an easy ride at Yarmouth (1m6f, soft) in June but still managed to win readily; has winning form on Polytrack and is likely to make his presence felt despite a 5lb rise. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came on the AW at Chelmsford (1m6f) in December but he's posted some good efforts since, including on turf at Catterick (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; each-way chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf. |

A three-time winner at up to 2m under varying tactics; two respectable efforts at Ripon this spring but weakened quickly and tailed off at Pontefract latest; can only watch after that. |

12th 6 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

4th 7 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times (once from rear, twice making all) at up to 2m last term on the Flat for Paddy Butler; remote this year in his two hurdle races (three-runner race last time) but he was a fair third over C&D (a head behind No More Bolero) in between and peak form gives him a good shout. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Sole win from 23 starts was in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February 2025 in first-time blinkers; runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month but finished last in small fields on starts either side; it's a mixed picture but he needs a second look. |

Sole win from 22 starts was in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in February 2025; runner-up over this trip at Catterick (good to firm) 13 days ago but he was beaten 7l and the winner let that form down at Newmarket on Friday night; passed over. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins on AW at Lingfield (2m), but he's struggled under both codes this year and was tailed off at his favoured track in July; has lots to prove after a short break and he's well into the veteran stage now. |

7th 6 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Veteran; seven-time C&D winner, but latest success was back in 2024 and he hasn't been at his best on the Flat this year. |

9th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Seven wins over 2m on the AW here; getting on and lacks consisency now; hard to recommend having twice been pulled up over hurdles latterly. |
