1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Without a victory since 2024 and he was retried in a visor when beating one in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; blinkers and tongue-strap are fitted here. |
25/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his old form but last win was over two years ago and he's been out of sorts this season; this drop back in trip is no problem but he needs a major revival; visor reapplied. |
25/1 |

18th 10 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run stretches back over two years; best effort this year when fifth of eight over 7f at Goodwood (soft) on Sunday, but he'll need more if he's to exploit his reduced mark. |

Won over C&D in March of 2025 off 11lb higher; 0-12 in the meantime and quiet so far this term. |
12/1 |
|
12th 9 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when winning at Doncaster last March and may have needed his comeback run there this March, when mid-division; however, his form went the wrong way as last year developed and he needs to get back on track. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Disappointing favourite at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago but her best performances have coincided with her two encounters with slow ground (both good to soft) so this 3yo is an interesting contender in first-time cheekpieces in view of today's conditions. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won C&D (good to soft) novice on debut last November and bettered her disappointing handicap debut when creditable second in valuable race at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by return to this track; the one to beat. |
5/2 |

2nd 9 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Looked promising when justifying favouritism in a Newmarket novice last season (7f, good to soft) but bitterly disappointing thus far this campaign, in a Group 3, a novice and on handicap debut latest. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

Second in a division of this last year (soft) and three wins this term; ran okay when fifth of 13 at Beverley last time and not ruled out. |

|

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |
10/1 |
|
6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

Still to add to his debut win in 14 subsequent outings and it has been tough going so far for this stable; now drops into a Class 6 and a revival wouldn't be out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Well down the field on all four starts for Jim Goldie this season (6f-7f), most recently in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton on Wednesday; stable has more obvious chance with Ashen. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (7) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

9st 11lb |
Hat-trick of wins in 2024 (7f/1m); not scored since, and mainly out of form this year; handles these conditions and really well treated at present, but needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |
|
11th 4 (2) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual C&D winner but his last success was in May 2024 and he's not finished closer than fifth in his seven runs this season; needs to find more back up in trip. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Winless since 7f success here in May 2024 and has yet to find his true form this year (beaten favourite three times; behind Mr Cool here last time) but he ran well on occasions in better 6f races than this in 2025 and won't mind what the weather does; quite well treated now and a revival could be imminent. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Likeably consistent this season and last week's fifth at Chester was no backward step, as he was close up despite being dropped in from a bad draw; usually ridden handier; never won off a mark this high but respected; goes on all ground. |
4/1 |
|
5th 14 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Series of good runs this year, most recently a dominant success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; that wasn't far off his very best and he's one to consider up 4lb. |
8/1 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Class 5 over C&D (soft) in June and followed that with three runner-up finishes; beaten favourite at Goodwood a fortnight ago but he was racing away from the main action and shaped as though still in top form; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; solid claims. |

9st 13lb |
Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of a career-low mark when scoring here (7f) last month; a shade unlucky when beaten a short head at Southwell (7f, AW) since and should not be far away. |

2nd Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
8st 13lb |
First reserve; only 7s when beaten 8l behind Orandi over 1m here on Tuesday, weakening up the hill; good record over this trip, though, and ground-versatile, so not one to dismiss. |
|
|
7th 15 (11) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
8st 12lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of heavy-ground wins at Doncaster (7f); useful form in defeat this year, in the frame in competitive York handicaps (good ground) on consecutive days last month; another good run when fifth of 17 on quick going at the same venue last time; ground-versatile, trip a worry. |
14/1 |

5th 10 (12) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Ended 2025 with a pair of heavy-ground wins at Doncaster (7f); better form in defeat this year, placed in good C&D handicaps (good ground) in consecutive days last month; has won on fast ground and his connections took this race in 2024; needs serious consideration. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably at Carlisle most recently; form over C&D comprises a ready win (off 2lb higher) in this contest two years ago and creditable third (off 7lb higher) last August; good chance back here. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C&D in 2022) and may well be the answer. |

Ended 2025 in good order and he was a good second over 1m here on his return in January; three heavy defeats have followed and there is likely to be other pace for him to contend with today; drops in class but others appeal more. |

8th 9 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Has had a couple of close calls over C&D this winter but he's lost his way in last two starts and was tailed off at Newcastle (1m) three weeks ago; has something to prove and he needs a major revival. |

Made all and held on in tenacious fashion at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; handily drawn but he faces competition for the lead on what is only the second 5f start of his career. |

1st 4 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won the Legends Classified Stakes here (1m; 40-1) last September; knocking on the door over 7f here (23) in recent times; competitively weighted from an unchanged mark, and a danger to all if allowed uncontested lead back at 6f. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Broadly inconsistent but his form at Doncaster features a success in last year's Leger Legends race and resurgent effort behind Bella Bisbee in latest start; better off with that rival and due to go back up 1lb in future. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

6th 4 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1m on good to soft ground no problem and he is feasibly weighted on his best efforts last year; should be sharper with his recent return to action under his belt and he has the assistance of a leading amateur in the saddle; one for the shortlist. |

3rd 3 (8) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |
