2nd 3 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prolific winner, mainly over 6f, the latest when 2lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) in April; went close when on this mark in successive starts last month, before a below-par effort in a big-field York sprint latest; player if he can bounce back. |

20th 6 (18) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner; runner-up on his last two starts but this is more competitive and more minor money may be his best hope. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Not the force of old but won over C&D (good) off 2lb higher in April and last week's second at Epsom (6f, good to firm) confirms he's back in form; bold show likely. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
He's dropped to a favourable mark and there is every chance that he will exploit it at some point, but he was a soundly beaten fourth of eight behind Belsito at Hamilton (6f, soft) eight days ago and has work to do here. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Encouraging return to turf when never-nearer close fourth at Ripon (6f, good to soft; has won on soft) in April and he wasn't far away in a big field back there in August; on a favourable mark now; not far away. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (18) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on this year's best, including a close fourth over C&D in April; has had the odd excuse since and he ran perfectly well over an inadequate 5f at York three weeks ago (not well drawn); a big run could be on the cards. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run goes back to last December but he's dropped down the weights and his recent narrow defeat against a smart rival at York (5f, soft; has won at about 6f and on good) was a cracking effort; back up 3lb on course debut but he should be very competitive. |
11/4 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to score this term but he's hinted he can put that right, his latest fourth at Beverley (5f, soft) being another such example; return to 6f is no bother and he won't mind how the ground is riding; career-low mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Runner-up in this last year (soft) and returned to form when second at Haydock (6f, heavy) latest start; major player with conditions in his favour. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 12 (13) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Fairly useful on his day but he's not one to rely on and failed to beat a rival in 6f Hamilton handicap two weeks ago; others are much preferred. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His wins have come on slow ground but he was beaten only 3l in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) last month; that was a creditable effort after a slow start and he ran well over this trip at Ayr on his penultimate run; could be dangerous. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual sprint winner for previous yard; best effort for new stable when fifth over C&D on penultimate start; chance of faring better partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
12th 4 (2) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not beaten far into fifth at Wolverhampton seven weeks ago (7f), his second run for new connections; dropping to a stiff 6f should help and he still has time on his side. |
12/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f novice at Wolverhampton on his second start and followed up in a 6f handicap at Kempton in January; absent since finishing down the field in a Listed race at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) in March; should be capable of better but raced exclusively on AW and the suitability of heavy going has to be taken on trust. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
The forecast rain will be less of a bother to him than many; however, the latest of two narrow turf wins over 6f, at Chester in August, took him to a career-high mark which proved a tough pill to swallow in the Portland at Doncaster last week; looks up against it from 2lb higher this time. |
16/1 |
|
14th 19 (16) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Course winner (6f, soft); three 6f wins this year, two of them on good to soft ground at Chester; this will demand more but he is on an upward trajectory and that doesn't apply to many of these. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Only 1-17 but he hasn't been running badly, finishing best of the rest behind a thriving sort in a 15-runner race at Thirsk (1m, good) five weeks ago; likely to be on the premises from an unchanged mark. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Only 1-16 and he's 3lb higher than the mark he won off in April 2025, despite since going 0-11; hasn't been running badly but looks vulnerable once more; effective in this returning headgear combination. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a good mark on 2025 best and he has been running himself into form this time around, third of ten (beaten 1l) at Carlisle four weeks ago; conditions no problem and he is one to consider. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
11st 3lb |
6f AW novice winner who went close over 7f at Carlisle (soft) in May; solid fourth at Newcastle (7f, AW) on his penultimate start but was beaten 10l over that C&D three weeks ago; blinkers are now reached for. |
8/1 |
|
10th 10 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Sole win from 12 starts came in a novice here over 6f last summer; returned to some form when fourth of ten over C&D 33 days ago but now steps back up in grade. |

4th 1 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |

Won twice at Hamilton in September (6f, good to soft and soft); not so good twice since and likely vulnerable at this level. |
16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Back to 6f when winning successive Hamilton handicaps in September (good to soft/soft) and it was a belated return to 5f when below par last time; however, this is a tougher grade than she's accustomed to. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Benefited from the return to 6f of late, winning both starts here (good to soft and soft); flying high but has a penalty to carry in a better race back over 5f for the first time since her debut; still not ruled out. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Five-time turf winner who is generally reliable and was runner-up in a big field at Nottingham (6f, good) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and he should give it another good shot. |
9/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

10/1 |

7th 1 (12) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made all when winning at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but that was a five-runner race and he's taken three backward steps since; now back on last winning mark but he's needs to raise his game and there are other front-runners in the line-up. |

Record is only 1-13 but gained the win off 3lb higher in sole C&D attempt (for previous yard); interesting back here, assuming she takes to blinkers (replacing the cheekpieces worn last time). |

13 (11) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
6f AW winner for William Haggas last summer; ran well for second (short head behind Station X and now 5lb better off) on her stable debut here last November; slow start to this campaign but there was much more to take from her latest Ayr fifth (behind Lord Bertie and Station X); unexposed on testing ground and she's one to consider. |

Runner-up in two 6f nurseries on heavy/soft ground last autumn; down the field on both outings this year and has something to prove, but those were on good going and maybe today's testing conditions will trigger a revival. |

Both wins have come over 6f and only seventh of 11 in one 7f run; down the field at Haydock last week and that was in a race where he was well drawn; not a solid option but a bounce back wouldn't be a great surprise. |
