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. |
11/4 |

2nd 5 (4) |
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. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb. |

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. |

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. |
15/2 |
|
5th 3 (11) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-8 but involved in close finishes over 7f and 6f (AW) in February and only just failed to get up at Lingfield (5f) in March; no serious impact at Southwell since but ran as though still in form and not ruled out if able to transfer his sand form back to turf (first run on grass since debut). |

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. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
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. |
3/1 |
|
1st 11 (10) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
No match for Maid In Devon three runs back but probably his best form yet when beating Solar Invincible over C&D 17 days ago; 4lb rise is fair enough. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
One win from 18 starts, on Kempton AW (6f) in January, but he's had some excuses and is now 4lb lower than when not beaten far over C&D (good to firm) on yard debut in May; tackles these conditions for the first time since so he's entitled to be thereabouts. |

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. |

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. |
11/2 |

3rd 7 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in May; solid efforts twice since and she is well drawn to attack; should put up a bold show back down in class. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won 6f handicap here in April and a good second over C&D since; fair fourth at Ayr last time (good to soft); worth considering. |
6/1 |
|
4th 10 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Got off the mark at Newcastle (6f) in April but her recent form is not so encouraging, tenth of 12 in 5f handicap there ten days ago; hood goes on now. |
11/1 |

10th 13 (12) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Has run well on last two starts here, winning over 6f in April and finishing a close second to Dontwasteamoment (now 5lb worse off) when dropped down to 5f here last month; could go well. |

Was having his first start since wind surgery when winning over 1m here in March, but the wheels have come off completely since; best watched for now. |
50/1 |

10th 10 (4) |
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. |
50/1 |

12th 6 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

50-1 winner over 1m here (first start since wind surgery) in March; has failed to beat a rival in two subsequent starts, tailed off (beaten 58l) at Doncaster six weeks ago; difficult to know what to expect. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Gained a first win at the eleventh attempt at Brighton (1m) in June and not disgraced under an aggressive ride when sixth at Chepstow (1m) 19 days ago; considered off a 2lb lower mark. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt at Brighton (1m, good to firm) eight days ago; needs to contend with a 6lb penalty but she may have more in her locker and is in with a big shout. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Yard had a few easy winners of late, including a couple at big prices; this filly, who threatened to pick up a small handicap when the hood first went on, has had excuses the past twice and is one to consider. |

Big prices and well held in six runs for three yards; didn't see out 1m last time and it's too soon to put a line through her but would want to see some support before considering her. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (11) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Unplaced all five starts, most recently when well-held fifth on stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) three weeks ago; moves up in trip here; may yet come good for Richard Hughes but others have more obvious claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Some promise on her racecourse debut last September (only run for the Muir/Grassick stable) but well beaten in three AW runs for Jonathan Portman over the winter; not a solid option starting out for another new stable after 165 days off, but worth a market check all the same. |
