6th 2 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning on AW at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f); they were in March/April but he returned from a break with creditable third of six here (1m2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, again under Olivia Tubb; probably not far away. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f) with a close third in between; they were all on AW in March/April under Olivia Tubb and he's not raced since, with turf runs in the last two years hinting that he's not quite so good in this sphere; also, the last time he raced on firmer than good was 2022. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |

Won five times in Britain, latest in August; shaped well a couple of times on the AW for this stable but didn't beat a rival home the last twice on turf, slowly away both times; down 3lb. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June and a case can be made on that form but this 8yo has been well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Haydock only last Friday. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; ended a lengthy losing run when making all at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at York last time; now drops back in grade but he has something to prove again after a break. |
10/1 |

8th 9 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Two of his six wins have come over C&D; can go well fresh so his low-key return to action at Yarmouth last month was disappointing; down in class and has the assistance of Henry Callan in the saddle so he could leave that well behind. |
11/2 |
|
10th 10 (3) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who had irregular form in 2025 but he only just failed on his reappearance at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last spring and he's 4lb lower now; on the cards that he'll return with a good effort. |
14/1 |

7th 8 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |

11st 10lb |
Not seen over hurdles since three mildly encouraging maiden runs (2m-2m4f) in 2024-25 season but recorded RPRs in the 80s when winning twice on the Flat this summer and could be on a good mark for handicap hurdle debut. |
11/2 |

9th 6 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back to form with a wide-margin win over C&D then scraping home at Newmarket (1m4f; both on good to firm) but he should have done better than he did on Kempton AW since, seeing as he's gone well there in the past. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Wide-margin winner at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in July and followed up with a narrow success at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month; the runner-up has won since and he has good claims in his bid for the hat-trick, with the return to 2m no problem having finished second over this C&D in January. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-4 since rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam and had three of these behind when fourth in a strong York handicap in one of those defeats; he appeared to be stretched by an extended 1m5f when again running fairly well at Newbury; only 4lb above last winning mark and with Saffie Osborne recruited, he's a player. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (12) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 2-3 since rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam and racing over 1m4f; prevailed at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last time; ties in with French Duke on York running; respected in current form, upped a bit further in trip. |
7/2 |

1st 8 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) in July; couldn't complete the hat-trick in a big field at the York Ebor meeting but still performed with credit in fourth; considered under Billy Loughnane. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
First two runs for this yard, at Ripon (1m2f/1m; good), were solid but he was below his best on soft ground there at the start of the month and finished well held at Doncaster (1m2f, good) 12 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |

15th 14 (14) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last term when trained by Ian Williams; first two runs for this yard, both at Ripon (1m2f/1m; good), were solid but he ran below his best there on soft ground ten days ago; a sounder surface may be preferable. |
25/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Dual winner for Ian Williams; sold for 20,000gns last October; third to Poet's Dawn over C&D (stable debut) early last month and runner-up to a progressive rival over 1m here subsequently; highly likely to make presence felt. |

No wins in nine but he's admirably consistent and again hit the frame over a bit further here a month ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims once more. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been beaten as favourite in four of his five handicaps but he found improvement when a close third over C&D last month; up 3lb but that latest run was a Racing League event and he pulled 4l clear of the fourth; key player. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
4yo who is 0-7 and has been a beaten favourite in all four handicaps; however, he's still run good races and may take a step forward at some point. |
