12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed but consistent and fully entitled to be sharper for his recent run at Beverley (extended 1m); on the downside, he's drawn wide and best form is over further. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent performer who won't have a problem with the likely ground conditions having gained five of his six wins on good to soft/soft; off 310 days, but has run well fresh before and market support would be interesting. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive. |

17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won 1m4f/1m2f handicaps here in April, latterly under Harry Vigors off 2lb lower; then struggled at York's Dante meeting; back from a break with a second over hurdles last month; might just be vulnerable against rivals with lower mileage. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 13 |
29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner (good/soft); returned to form with two Flat wins in April, but was soundly beaten when back over hurdles here in June and contests a much stronger race today. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has been running on the Flat, winning 1m4f/1m2f handicaps before a respectable effort in a competitive race at York; capable hurdler with winning form here and James Murray takes off a useful 7lb. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since 2024 but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 11 in 11.5f handicap at Haydock 13 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again eased 1lb. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Just one win to his name since June 2023 and he failed to justify favouritism in a similar event at Catterick (1m4f, good) last time, with the reopposing Star Start a place ahead of him second; however, his record in recent years suggests that going softer than good is ideal for him nowadays and this is the first time he's faced such conditions since a respectable reappearance off a much higher mark in the spring; considered. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Just one win to his name since June 2023 and he has found it tough going so far in 2026; he has slipped a long way in the weights though and today's drop in class will help; not discounted. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence is up to 11 races but he ran pretty well when fourth of seven at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) recently following a 74-day break, and he could build on that effort; his wins have come on soft/heavy. |
13/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Well held at 40-1 on Kempton reappearance (1m3f, AW) in June, but he's well handicapped on his best form last season including when runner-up in this race (soft); both wins have been on testing ground and he needs a close look after another break. |
6/1 |
|
6th 11 (12) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Placed a couple of times on turf last autumn but no win since September 2024 and still 2lb higher; has run with credit here, but likely he will need this after 252 days off. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 1m novice at Windsor last September when trained by Ralph Beckett but he's failed to beat a rival home in each of his three starts for this yard (tongue-tied on the last two occasions); has been given wind surgery since last seen 76 days ago. |
66/1 |
|
10th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Unexposed after only six runs but has struggled on both starts for new stable this season (1m1f/7f); big leap of faith required to support him. |
66/1 |
|
14th 4 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Odds-on 1m winner (good) at Windsor last September when with Ralph Beckett; has gone backwards in all three starts since, latest on debut for new yard; tongue-tie now tried; plenty to prove at present. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not as good as he was in France and last two runs have been well below his best; however, on too good a mark to dismiss and inmates from this yard can return to form from nowhere. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not as good now but remains generally consistent and is back on the mark off which he won here (1m2f) in the winter; needs to bounce back from a lesser effort over C&D when last seen six weeks ago. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who enjoyed a solid start to the season and is 3lb lower than when runner-up at Ayr in July; however, three lesser runs have followed and hopes are pinned on the first-time visor prompting a revival. |
14/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a course novice (7f, soft; only success) last November; made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on first five starts this term; down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood then finished last despite attracting good support at Haydock (1m, good) 18 days ago; question to answer after that. |
5/1 |
|
7 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made the first three in handicaps (1m-1m2f) on his first five starts this season before finishing down the field in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood (wore cheekpieces; left off today); back in calmer waters here and no surprise if he returns to form. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't taken long to drop 21lb in the weights; hardly solid but he was a multiple winner in Europe in his youth and he needs a market check dipping his toe into 0-55 waters. |
25/1 |
|
11th 1 (8) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m2f in Europe; barely beaten a rival in four runs for new yard after a 433-day absence; drops into a 0-60 but with plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 9 (1) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |

Ex-German 6yo who is an eight-time winner; market check advised on stable debut but it comes after a long absence and he may be best watched. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has landed 1m2f wins at Ayr and Redcar (both good) in recent months but his run of good form came to an abrupt halt at York last weekend; respectable third on previous attempt at 1m4f (September 2024). |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Last three wins have been over 1m2f at Ayr, including in August (on good) when scoring for the first time in over two years; going down by just a neck at Haydock (soft) showed that he remains one for serious calculations. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (3) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Added to a good Ayr record when seeing off 12 rivals over 1m2f (good) 26 days ago; a 6lb rise demands more of him (yet to win above a mark of 70) but he'll handle today's ground and has a more solid recent profile than most. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Suited by soft ground; has lacked consistency since defying a 10lb higher mark at Newbury two years ago and blinkers had no clear effect last time; however, very well treated if this is one of his better days. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
His three wins in 2024 included this race off an 8lb higher mark; hit and miss this year, most recently when last of seven at Yarmouth on Tuesday; new blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

7th 6 (8) |
15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |

No win for nearly two years and 2024 delivered clearly his best ratings; placed twice over about 1m2f, though, in a four-race 2026 campaign and even that form makes this look a competitive mark. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
A useful 1m5f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott last year; only fair form at best in four hurdle outings for this yard since, including when well-held sixth on Stratford handicap debut in that sphere four weeks ago; returns to the Flat with something to prove; first-time cheekpieces go on. |
40/1 |
|
6th 9 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

A useful 1m5f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott; changed hands for 115,000gns and shaped well when runner-up in 2m Catterick juvenile hurdle in January; faced a stiff task in Haydock's Victor Ludorum last time and remains with potential now handicapping. |

5 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins at 1m and the latest was in May of last year; however, competitive in 1m/1m2f handicaps for current yard and unlucky not to be closer than 2l at Chester last time. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (11) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His last win was 16 months ago but that was off 3lb higher at Newmarket (1m, good); held in fourth of ten on stable debut at Chelmsford (7-2) last month but he had to use up some energy to get a prominent position from a wide draw; looks worth another try at this trip and he's not ruled out on second run for James Owen; visor added. |
