19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Scored over C&D last December off 2lb lower; no apparent excuses for two defeats here on last two starts; has had a break and market will be best guide. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Close to a career best when winning over 6f here (Class 3; 2-1 favourite; from 3lb lower) over Christmas; free and a beaten favourite twice since, so will need to drop the anchor if to make his presence felt over today's longer trip; others make more appeal. |

7th 4 (2) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a gamble over C&D in December, his first run after a gelding operation; only third off this mark at Kempton last time where he was hamstrung by a refusal to settle; still lurks on an interesting mark and he is one to take seriously, even with the stable on a losing run of 25. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; losing run stretches back over two years but he retains plenty of ability and has been performing with credit this summer; likely to be in the shake-up. |
11/2 |
|
9th 15 (15) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
No win since August 2024; ran well for minor honours on his first three (of four) visits to Doncaster, a close third in this race last year; 8lb lower today but he's not been disgraced this year (repeatedly short of room last time) and makes each-way appeal. |
9/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Losing run continued when fifth of 11 over C&D (heavy; favourite) yesterday, beaten just under 2l; however, one of two handicap wins came over C&D (good; acts well on soft) and he has finished second and third in the last two runnings. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Has developed into a useful handicapper; won at Goodwood (5f, soft) most recently, taking record to 6-18; faces a stiffer task upped in class but he's broadly progressive and could go well. |
16/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Has had some good results for this yard in 2026, winning two of his first three starts and going agonisingly close over 5f (good; has won on good to soft) at the top meeting here in July when checked in his run; not so strong at the finish over slightly further at York since but a major player back over C&D. |
5/1 |
|
11th 12 (12) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
On the up for new trainer this year, winning 5f handicaps at Yarmouth and Southwell before a fine second at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) three weeks ago, hitting the front 110 yards from home but picked off late on by a thriving opponent; 3lb rise asks a stiffer question. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He's fully 12lb lower than when going close at Doncaster (5f, heavy) last October; however, he's had an underwhelming campaign in the main this season and others arrive with more pressing claims. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lacklustre campaign in the main but he has a reduced mark to work with as a result and was an encouraging seventh of 21 in a first-time visor (retained) at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday, when suffering interference and away from the main action; ran two big races here last autumn; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
7th 11 (15) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Twice a course winner, including over this trip; started his campaign with a promising run at Beverley but three lacklustre runs have followed; well handicapped if the addition of a visor sparks a revival. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won three times over 5f last season and the form of her first two runs this year (one over C&D) is strong; her levels have dropped since and she was behind Hypnotised when fourth at Newbury (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but she'll be a threat to all off this mark if back on song. |
7/2 |

4th 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Gained three 5f wins in the second half of 2025, but disappointing this year after a promising reappearance; needs to get back on track but drops back in grade after facing a stiff task in York Grade 3 last time. |
3/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025; promising reappearance second in Yarmouth handicap (5f, good to soft) but hasn't built on it twice since, finishing well held tackling Listed company for the first time at Ayr three weeks ago; her claims aren't obvious. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Goes well here and is 2lb lower than when winning over C&D late last year; well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end and a case could be made for him. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Just two starts since March but they came last month at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and he ran with credit on both occasions; back on his last winning mark and he can go well again. |

5th 5 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

One of his five wins came over C&D in May 2025; third to Amazonian Dream over C&D four weeks ago was an encouraging return from four months off and in-form 5lb claimer is now recruited; in the mix. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Should be well handicapped now but he hasn't built on a good fourth at Newcastle in December in three subsequent runs; connections reach for cheekpieces tonight. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Three more wins this year (including C&D on soft) and last Saturday's sixth of 23 in the Silver Cup at Ayr was another creditable effort (second of 12 in his group); the fact he's finished in the first three (including four wins) on eight of his ten visits to Haydock makes him a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

6th 12 (23) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Respectable but unavailing effort in the Bronze Cup two years ago; in marvellous form this year, adding three wins at 5f (soft and good to soft), but he couldn't pull off another one at Haydock recently off a career-high mark; has more to do back at 6f. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has 48 runs under his belt but amazingly is better than ever and was winning his third race of the year at Beverley (5f, soft) last week; on a career-high mark now but this course specialist made it 2-3 over C&D in May and further rain will make no difference; no ifs or buts and can put up a good show. |
