12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won two 5f AW handicaps early in the year; two good placed efforts at Chester this summer but he is up the weights as a result and may prove vulnerable back from three months off. |

2nd 1 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice on AW in early part of this year and kept on well from the rear for creditable third in quite valuable C&D (good) contest last month; also suited by good to soft ground and has the early speed to race much closer to the pace from his favourable draw if that's the plan. |

Successful in last two AW attempts but wasn't in anything like the same form returned to turf last time (effective in this sphere in the past); remains on career-high mark and can be opposed kept to grass. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Straightforward gelding who's fine on any surface and generally consistent; there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, and Kylian may be his trainer's best chance. |

5th 9 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |

Two wins and a close second to his name in five runs over C&D; weighted to his best currently, following a Yarmouth win off 3lb lower in June, and Kylian may be his trainer's best shout. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time Southwell winner who offered a bit more back there early last month; handicapper eased off, following a barren spell on turf, but he's pulled hard more than once over this trip, including when wearing a hood (missing again tonight). |
7/1 |
|
12th 3 (12) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Southwell (6f, AW) three weeks ago and is now another 1lb lower; however, he needs something extra and is just 1-16 on turf as opposed to 4-14 on AW. |

Four course wins, the latest off 2lb higher over this trip in February; found valuable series final at Windsor too competitive last month but he's of interest back here, despite his wide draw. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Fully exposed but always dangerous when getting a strong pace to chase and this is much easier than at Goodwood last time; has form here. |
10/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts. |
16/1 |

2nd 1 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out. |

Had a bit in hand when winning over C&D last month and was caught on the line over 6f here nine days ago (off this 3lb higher mark); has to go well again. |

Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |

Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |

Busy mare who enjoyed a purple patch around the turn of the year with four wins but she has found it tougher going since; edging back down the weights but would have made more appeal over 5f. |

16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |

Record of 9-41 on AW includes four wins this winter; has never defied a mark this high, however, and seems unlikely to reverse Friday placings with Alondra and El Bufalo who are in career-best form at this moment. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won by 4l last Saturday to complete a Lingfield turf double; raised a whopping 12lb but is still well treated on best form, which includes close second (off 4lb higher) in this contest in 2025; fighting chance. |
14/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |
