30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Had a good year on the Flat and over hurdles, and ran well back from a break to finish second to Personal Best at Sandown; however, he failed to back that up in a big way when tailed off at Kempton; goes on all ground. |
20/1 |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive year over hurdles and on the Flat, last time returning from a break and boxing on for second at Sandown (1m6f); he was bang there over C&D the time before; solid chance. |
9/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |

In good form over hurdles and on the Flat earlier this year, last time going close in a 2m AW handicap off 1lb lower; if in the same form after his break then should be involved. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y 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. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Went close over this sort of trip on AW in March but, after a successful stable debut at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) in June, he raced too freely (a regular trait) when well beaten by Gooloogong back there three weeks ago; hood goes on for the first time for this yard, which looks a smart move. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number 11 when coming clear at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) on his debut for Tony Carroll; effective on faster ground and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he's turned a corner. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Stuck on a long losing run and has been pretty much tailed off in his last two races (2m4f/3m2f); reduced mark offers some hope. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |

Has gone 34 races since he last won three years ago but steps up in trip on a career-low mark in this sphere; may well show more. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
In the frame all four starts since returned to turf in April, most recently when second of seven at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month; holds no secrets from the handicapper but is suited by this track and ought to go well again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Exposed six-time winner who can front run; 2lb beneath the mark he defied at Newbury last summer (1m5f, good to firm; effective on good to soft) and he hasn't been running badly of late. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed. |

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. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tailed off at Southwell last time which was too bad to be true as does have form there; he's won twice here and ran well over C&D in December behind one who scored impressively last week; considered under Oisin Murphy. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Won at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November and also successful on AW in January; unseated early when an 8-1 chance for his return to hurdling at Statford (Supreme Yeats runner-up in that race). |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
In good form in similar races under Georgia King lately, reaching the frame three times before resuming winning ways at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 31 days ago; the second from that race has won since so he retains handicapping scope off only 2lb higher but soft ground would be an unknown. |
6/1 |

1st 1 (7) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper/AW handicap winner; second of 13 here (1m2f, good to firm) in May under Georgia King and has since twice made the frame under the same rider, the latest when third of seven at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last month; still unexposed on turf and respected back down in grade. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Bumper and 1m4f AW handicap winner; only three runs on Flat turf, the latest when second of 13 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; not disgraced when Georgia King was on again back on AW latest outing; needs a second look. |
