13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In and out since winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April and he was beaten 8l after a slow start at Newbury last time; now only 1lb higher than for that last success but he needs to raise his game back up in trip. |
7/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In and out since winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April and was disappointing at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) 11 days ago given he has won over that far and in testing ground; has plenty of form on good to firm, but has a bit to prove; often misses the break. |
14/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three of his six wins have come over this trip elsewhere and he will appreciate going back up in distance after finishing third of eight at Newmarket (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (runner-up won next time); goes on any ground and respected off the same mark. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has finished runner-up on the Flat and over hurdles but has been struggling under both codes since returning from more than three months off; the new cheekpieces will need to make a difference. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
14-race maiden; went close on the Flat at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last July, but he's struggled under both codes in four subsequent runs; now makes his handicap hurdle debut but he needs improvement back in this sphere. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |
5/2 |

3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won this race last year on good to soft (also successful over C&D on good to firm); another decent C&D effort when third in a higher grade in May and creditable third over hurdles since; likely to go well. |
11/8 |

3rd 1 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |

Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has never lived up to his debut win (1m2f, AW in 2023); second at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on worse) last month on stable debut and not disgraced at Yarmouth last time, but others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |

Beat the subsequent Derby and St Leger fourth when making a winning debut at Chelmsford just under two years ago; lightly raced and failed to progress thereafter; left Michael Bell since last run (remains in same ownership) in March; market should help on this debut for the Moores. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Prolific at Ffos Las in the mud but just 1-40 away from that track; easy enough to look elsewhere now returning from an absence and from a wide stall. |

11st 6lb |
Won a Class 6 handicap in April (1m4f, good) but tailed off in his next Flat race and suffered the same fate back over hurdles at Uttoxeter (first-time blinkers now removed); looks risky. |
14/1 |
|
10th 3 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has shown promise in five runs over hurdles, but was beaten 35l on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March; has won low-grade handicap on the Flat since; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; steps up in trip and not out of this. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |

Needed a drop to Class 6 to open his account in Catterick event (1m4f, good) last time; back up in grade but may build on that win and also have more to offer in the retained cheekpieces. |

Maiden who is far from solid on Flat/hurdles form for current yard but whose record suggests this return to a Flat turf race is a plus. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins for Denis Quinn in the winter and a respectable fifth at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April on sole starts for John Ryan; left the impression he's still in form at Thirsk 19 days ago on his first start for this yard and cheekpieces now go on. |
14/1 |

6th 10 (3) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut. |

Has form figures of 513143222 for her current yard and she hit a personal best when going close at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last month; only 1lb higher here and she's a big player again back on Tapeta. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

6yo who's never been better, with two ready 1m4f wins for new yard this year and good efforts to be placed on last two outings; has had just one race on soft (none on heavy) but won it, in 2023; needs a second look. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style. |
6/1 |

1st 6 (9) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Bath (1m5f, soft) around a year ago but largely kept to AW since and went back-to-back in that sphere (1m6f/2m) across May and June; lesser effort at Kempton three weeks ago but he's not ruled out on this return to turf. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous. |
