3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Mostly in fine form this summer but his standards have slipped in his last two races (1m4f/1m2f) and, thoroughly exposed ahead of his 42nd career start, others are more intriguing. |
13/2 |

11th 9 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Third in this race last year; mostly in fine form this summer, which demands plenty of respect even though the very best of that form came in two performances on good to firm at 1m4f. |
12/1 |

6th 8 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a good prize off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f) on Good Friday but has mixed record since; ought to have been suited by the soft ground when midfield at Salisbury (1m4f) recently; others appeal more. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
1m4f AW winner in April followed by two good efforts; not so good since and although he still took third at Windsor (good to soft) last time, new trip needs to spark something if he's to improve his modest strike-rate. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
1m4f AW handicap winner in April and followed that with two good efforts, including here; however, he finds winning difficult and no real positives to take from his last three races. |

Useful Flat performer (four wins, rated 81) has been runner-up in maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe and Newton Abbot; appears well held by State Pension on running at Navan. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 165y |
11st 12lb |
Useful Flat performer has been runner-up in maidens at Ballinrobe and Newton Abbot, but will need more to contend in this company; hood goes on. |

2nd 1 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won four times on the Flat at 1m2f-1m3f; sold for 29,000gns in July and made a most encouraging start over hurdles when runner-up at Ballinrobe (2m, good) last month; looks a major player. |

9st 7lb |
Won over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster in May but no progress since; could prove vulnerable dropping in trip. |
10/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not had lots of racing and things were looking up when edging out a useful yardstick at Doncaster in May (1m6f, good to firm), only to then not beat a rival in his next two races (1m5f/2m); back to the drawing board. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful at Doncaster (14.5f) on reappearance, opening his account; last of five in 1m5f AW event since but looks likely to be better suited by this step back up in distance and return to turf; showed solid promise at Newbury on debut; may do better still and remains of interest. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Redcar in July (1m2f, good); hasn't built on that win in three runs since and hopes appear to rest on new headgear piquing his interest. |
10/1 |
|
8 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-2 on the AW but hasn't performed badly; it was over this trip when successful at Redcar in July (first-time cheekpieces; 3lb lower) and his subsequent fifths were fairly close ones; each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap (good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; held in fifth of 12 at Windsor last time but he was only beaten around 2l and that was a a creditable effort in a Racing League event; should go well again and he's in the mix. |

Debut winner who hasn't offered a great deal in five handicaps; doesn't appeal. |

9st 8lb |
Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |

Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |
