5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recent efforts have not been his best but he's a dual C&D winner who has never been this low in the weights; a revival would come as no surprise. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with C&D victory in November; failed to add to it this this season and signed off for Clive Cox with a below-par eighth in 1m Newbury handicap in July; needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. |
14/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won off 2lb higher in Class 4 on AW last November; has failed to land a blow in Class 3 races since returned to turf but this drop back in grade may have a positive effect; fairly useful in this sphere as a 2yo. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Irish challenger whose two turf wins have come on quick ground at Ayr (7f/1m); not at his very best in Ireland on final two starts but has each-way claims on this belated return to 1m. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Both turf wins came on quick ground at 7f-1m at Ayr; posted a career best when only caught late on in a 17-runner 7f Curragh handicap in June when ahead of a few of these; her run at Naas next time was below that (7f, good) good claims on that Curragh effort. |
9/2 |

6th 1 (7) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Both turf wins came on quick ground at 7f-1m at Ayr; AW winner last winter and posted career-best on latest when only caught late on in 17-runner Curragh handicap over this trip last month; trip/ground remains in his favour, can go well again. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Two near-misses on AW prior to winning at Windsor (1m, soft) in August; another big run when close third off this mark at Hamilton (1m, heavy) last month and this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer. |
5/2 |

3rd 4 (5) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Close second in last two AW attempts, then went one better at Windsor (1m, soft) returned to turf in latest start; particularly unexposed in this sphere and is one for the shortlist. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner at 7f but has been fine over 1m in his last two races, going close at Lingfield and Kempton; up 3lb for those defeats but capable of winning off this mark; having third run on turf. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
7f AW win for Denis Quinn last season; running well for his new trainer too, most recently finishing a neck second at Epsom (good to firm) last week; runs off the same mark (1lb well in) and he is respected, for all his stamina for 1m has to be conclusively proven. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close third on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in May and didn't run badly when close eighth of ten (just behind Potomac River) in stronger race than this at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago; no surprise if he features. |
5/1 |
|
8th 6 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Became his new trainer's first runner, having been picked up from Denis Quinn for 17,000gns, when faring well in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth three weeks ago (Dapper Guest behind); generally consistent and won't mind the stiffer 7f. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Still seeking a first handicap success and this year's record has been patchy; down in the weights but hopes appear to rest on this first crack at sprinting sparking something extra. |
12/1 |

6th 5 (10) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ripon novice (1m) in 2024 is his only win from 16 races; inconsistent this year but way down the weights and fourth of 19 at Redcar (1m) last time was a reminder that he can be competitive on turf; much more to prove on his slight AW record; hooded first time today. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (12) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Won a Ripon novice (1m, good) in August 2024, but he's 0-12 since and was tailed off in a similar race at Thirsk (16-1) last time; down the list. |

Returned from a break with a win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May but he hasn't come up to scratch in his four outings since; back on that successful mark but many others arrive with less to prove. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Got up late to land a 7f Carlisle handicap (soft) in May; returned to form when runner-up back at Carlisle (7f again) last month but well held over 1m on soft at Ayr the following week; effective on Tapeta but has yet to prove he stays this far. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Got up late to land a 7f Carlisle handicap (soft) in May; back on that winning mark and returned to form when runner-up back at Carlisle (7f, good) last Wednesday, shaping as if worth another go over 1m; bit of a tricky customer but has to enter calculations. |
6/1 |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

10st 1lb |
Sent off at 22-1 and bigger when unplaced on first seven starts for this yard but was just 9-2 when exploiting a reduced mark at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, form which has already been franked; this three-time turf winner is a major player if backing up that latest performance. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
His win in the Leger Legends 0-70 classified event at Doncaster (1m, good) three weeks ago came a little out of the blue but the form has worked out, with the second and fourth winning since; only nudged up 1lb and has won back to back before; considered. |

1st 10 (12) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fairly useful on his day and this assignment is a drop in class; however, has a doubt over current form, having posted duck eggs in last three appearances; revival is required. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins on turf came on testing ground in France and his best efforts in Britain have been on the AW, including a win at Kempton in October; below par in recent starts and has been dropped another 2lb. |
11/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His best efforts in Britain have been on AW and he was ideally suited by testing ground when trained in France; none too consistent, either. |
