19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
AW winner (1m) last September; his form dipped at York 40 days ago but he had been in good form earlier in the year; each-way shout. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Southwell handicap (1m, AW) last September and he's held his form with five creditable efforts since; ridden more prominently than previously when going down only narrowly at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) under Cieren Fallon a fortnight ago; should remain competitive after a 2lb nudge. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Newcastle (7f) in November but well below that level twice since; needs to bounce back. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved run by run in maiden company, most recently finishing third of seven at Southwell three weeks ago (first run at a mile); could improve further now handicapping at a realistic level. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame in 7f good-ground maidens at Musselburgh and Catterick; this extra furlong should suit, but the form needs improving upon and nurseries become an option after this. |

Runner-up twice over 7f but no improvement for a step up to 1m and switch to nurseries when 4l behind Chapman's Peak here 16 days ago; others look open to greater progress. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made the breakthrough at the eighth attempt when surging 5l clear in apprentice handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good; 100-30 favourite) last Wednesday; this is a different test back on AW, but he escapes a penalty and is due to be 10lb higher in future; should be hard to beat if he can back up that last run. |

1st 7 (4) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took a step in the right direction at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May and built on that when bumping into an improving rival over this C&D (soft) in June; off since that outing 71 days ago but he should still have more to offer over middle distances. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two nurseries here (1m/7f) last October and ran his best race since when second of six at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; continues to drop down the weights and he's a player if he can build on that last run. |

2nd 5 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won two Kempton nurseries (1m/7f) in October but has disappointed on all four starts this year; needs huge boost from the new cheekpieces. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Made the frame twice in maidens last year, but she's struggled in six handicaps at up to 1m4f; mark continues to fall but she's now 0-9 and has plenty to prove back in trip. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made the frame twice in maidens last year but hasn't gone on from that in handicaps; cheekpieces worn last twice are left off and the jury is out. |
11/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden who failed to progress last season and this campaign hasn't got off to the best of starts, finishing sixth of eight here over 1m and tailed off 16 days ago over 1m3f (first-time cheekpieces). |
