19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Promising start to the campaign, including good-ground wins over 7f at Newmarket and York; advanced his form again when best of the rest behind smart sort in a valuable handicap at Goodwood (7f, good again) at the end of May; not beaten far in other competitive 3yo only races at Chester and Glorious Goodwood since and could resume progression his now up against his elders for the first time. |

8th 10 (12) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Broadly progressive gelding who has form figures of 11127 in turf handicaps, the latest effort best forgiven (met trouble); ran well in a competitive field over C&D the time before; still 9lb above last winning mark but Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb; in the mix. |
8/1 |

Made it 3-3 in turf handicaps when overcoming trouble to win a shade cosily at York in May and it was a good second of 17 in valuable event at Goodwood (also 7f, good) ten days later; still progressing and he holds leading claims again. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in heavy-ground nursery at Nottingham (6f) last October before going one better there (5f, soft) eight days later; just two outings this year, finishing second here (6f, soft) in May and a close fourth at Windsor (6f, good to soft) in June, but could have a big say back from a break. |
7/1 |

4th 3 (8) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best 2yo form in the fifth of five handicap starts, when a ready winner over 5f at Nottingham (soft) last October and emerged with credit from her return, coming clear with an improved rival at Haydock (6f, soft; first two well clear) recently; up 2lb but one to fear if conditions deteriorate. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in August on third start; finishing sixth of 14 at Lingfield (7f, AW) recently on his second nursery start and shaped as though he may benefit from this return to 6f; not ruled out each-way. |
12/1 |

6th 1 (11) |
14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Best run when winning a 7f Chelmsford maiden (AW) in August; pulled too hard when last of six over 1m on handicap debut last time; interesting back at 7f. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better with each of his three starts, as he's gone up in distance, culminating in a Chelmsford win a month ago; stamina not assured on the dam's side, upped another furlong and on to Tapeta, but he could well have more to offer if seeing it out. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made it 3-7 on AW when scoring here (6f) last month but she was only third of six at Newcastle (5f) two weeks ago; wasn't beaten far in that race but she needs to kick on again to defy this mark. |
12/1 |
|
4th 14 (5) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) on October 11 on second nursery start and kept on for third of seven at Chelmsford (5f, AW) last Wednesday; the return to turf poses a question but she could have more to offer for her good trainer now back up to 6f. |
8/1 |
|
6 (6) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when coming from off the pace to beat Redditizio in a 5f nursery at Wolverhampton on Saturday; 6lb penalty for that success asks a stiffer question but this well-bred filly still has time to do better. |

Still seeking that elusive breakthrough win (0-11); runner-up in two of his three starts for this trainer, including when thrashed by Master Of Delphi in a modest four-runner Ripon maiden (6f, good; 2-1) in mid-July; others preferred. |

Runner-up in C&D handicap (good) in May on stable/seasonal debut and that form puts him in the picture; however, disappointing at Redcar (5f, good) since and now 0-10; needs to bounce back. |

Took form to new level when winning twice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) this summer, but had to settle for third there a fortnight ago and will need to kick on again to overcome this mark. |

9st 6lb |
0-7 since winning on debut at Southwell (5f, AW) in April; didn't run badly when fourth in nursery at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last time but didn't pose a threat and needs to raise her game this afternoon. |
14/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f novice on debut in April; has faced some stiff tasks since, including nurseries at the Ebor and St Leger meetings, and this looks more realistic; rider's claim useful too; cheekpieces return after being left off latest. |

AW success on debut; no progress on turf since but the combination of a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) and Oisin Murphy (up for first time) may do the trick. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won a low-grade nursery at Newcastle in November off a 4lb lower mark; came up short at Southwell one month later; 6f should suit and has low mileage but the nine-month absence is offputting. |
16/1 |

8th 9 (10) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has shown ability when fifth in 5f maidens at Beverley on his last two starts (good to firm/soft); doesn't appear straightforward and the return to 6f isn't a guaranteed plus (he's from a family of 5f sprinters) on nursery debut, but the first-time tongue-tie/blinkers could help; not discounted. |

Three-time AW winner last winter, the most recent coming at Kempton in January off a 1lb higher mark than today's, and he took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Wolverhampton last time; has won over this trip and has claims. |

Progressive on the AW last winter, winning three times, latterly off tonight's mark; the return to Tapeta and drop back from 7f will help, with the visor experiment quickly binned, but he hasn't been in any form in three runs back from a break. |
