13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Two runs on softer than good were his only blips; won five 7f handicaps this year, with authority at Newbury last time, which earns plenty of respect despite today's higher mark, higher grade and more competitive race. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins have been at 7f; admirably consistent and the winner got first run on him last time at Newmarket (good to firm); has finished first and second under the returning David Egan; every chance once more. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Likeable 7f specialist (all four wins at this trip); just edged out by Sierra Sands over C&D three weeks ago; holding his form really well and should be in the thick of things again. |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Six-race maiden who has seemed to find sprint trips inadequate; ran well (neck second) in C&D contest last week, duly proving suited by the step up to 7f; good chance off same mark (due to go up 2lb in future). |
9/2 |

2nd 11 (6) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Fourth in two 6f Tapeta handicaps since joining this yard last month, with the form of both races subsequently boosted; a player on form, though his pedigree raises doubts over the trip. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
String of defeats at short prices for Ollie Sangster, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns in July, this year; done most racing over a bit further and hasn't looked a 5f natural in a couple of tries; the tongue-tie comes off. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
String of costly defeats on the AW early in the year and remains a maiden; has the ability but hung left back on turf last month before not seeing it out on soft ground last time; risks involved running over 5f for just the second time. |
6/1 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 0-9 and he wasn't at his best (hung badly left) on a rare turf start at Windsor (6f, good; fifth) three weeks ago; needs to prove he can get the job done but he's on a handy mark on his consistent AW form earlier this year; not written off. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-15 but has made the frame in three of his four visits here, the latest when chasing home an improver over C&D in April; now 5lb lower so could go well. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to score but has some fair form to her name and she shaped as if the run was needed after three months off when fifth of seven in 7f Chepstow handicap last time; possibilities. |
11/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

In fair form this season until just seventh of 12 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and off since; the break is a worry but she's capable of going well. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took form to new level when winning twice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) this summer, but had to settle for third there a fortnight ago and will need to kick on again to overcome this mark. |
10/1 |

3rd 9 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Has found improvement from somewhere to go back-to-back here and it was by nearly 4l last time; hit with an 8lb rise but something has clicked; seems fine on all surfaces. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins have came on AW over 6f at Wolverhampton; raced too freely when a beaten favourite here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; steps back up in trip and needs to settle better to give herself a chance of getting home. |
4/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Dual Wolverhampton winner earlier in the year, latterly off a 2lb higher mark, who found the race not panning out her way under a hold-up ride last time; having the vastly experience Taryn Langley take off 5lb won't hurt and she's one to consider. |
9/4 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 6f AW winner this year; kept on for very respectable fourth in 0-70 contest over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and is 1lb lower today; probably won't be far away. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who goes well on Tapeta; tacky ground was put forward as an excuse for latest effort, as favourite round Chester, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark in a big field containing other pace. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer; three wins earlier in the season and she ran as well as she ever has when second of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; well drawn to attack; handles good to soft but unraced on slower. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; creditable efforts in defeat in a trio of handicaps over this minimum trip since; just as effective at 6f and enters calculations with the Ivan Furtado stable among the winners. |

9st 0lb |
Sole win from 16 starts came on Newcastle's Tapeta (6f) in April off a 4lb higher mark; handicapping case to be made but she's been below her best on last four starts. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Recorded his second success, at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March off this mark, but has been beaten 43l, 58l and 27l since; first-time blinkers need to have a significant impact. |

Just a respectable fourth of nine at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month and now 0-7; only 2lb lower here and failed to convince stamina-wise when tried over 1m two starts ago; others preferred. |
