31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives. |

5th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance. |
7/1 |

6th 7 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won this race last year off a 3lb lower mark, when the strong pace set things up for him; got into the habit of blowing the start lately and will need the breaks from stall 13 but the return here will help (two wins and two seconds from eight runs over C&D). |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in January off the same mark as today's; left the impression he's still in form on soft ground at Salisbury 23 days ago and has place claims back on the AW. |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been on the AW but he does act on turf; beaten 4l when second of five at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) ten days ago but soft ground would be a slight concern. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three wins in Britain at 5f (twice on AW); placed at Lingfield over the winter before being bought for 14,000gns in February; dropped out quickly after forcing pace on yard debut in Naas handicap last month on soft; probably best watched for now. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Finished third in his two races this year, the latest in June at Carlisle (6f, soft); on a competitive mark and should make another bold bid. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Only 3-31 but won comfortably over C&D (good) earlier this month with a first-time eyeshield joining reapplied blinkers and that was from the same stall as today; back up 7lb but has coped with this mark in the past. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins at around 1m when trained by Ed Bethell; his losing run is mounting up and a first-time eye-shield is now applied along with returning blinkers; now on a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive. |
6/1 |
|
9th 14 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025, including C&D on soft; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine to Twilight Calls (won twice since) over C&D (good) in June; first run since when failing to fire at Hamilton last week but could revive back here. |
14/1 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
A four-time 5f/6f scorer in 2025; resumed from seven months off with an encouraging second of nine in 5f Sandown handicap in June; that form has worked out well, so this veteran is a likely player after another break. |

Likes soft ground, on which he was a close second (clear of rest) at Lingfield in June and that was after a break of 72 days; a wet day would make him interesting. |

Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |

9st 9lb |
Without a win since spring 2023 and absent since finishing down the field on final start for George Baker in May; on another career-low mark for stable debut, though, and won't mind what the weather does; swaps cheekpieces for first-time eyeshields. |
10/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |
