17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Turned in a career-best effort when winning a 5f handicap at Chester (good to soft) last month and produced another when fifth in a Listed race at Ascot (5f, good to firm) since; further progress can't be ruled out in his current mood. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Turned in a career-best effort when winning a 5f handicap at Chester (good to soft) three weeks ago; this is a stiffer test of his credentials. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who has been running with great credit in useful handicaps this summer, most recently finishing fourth of 19 at York's Ebor meeting (5f, good); unlikely to be far away. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Big runs at York (5f/6f) on first three turf starts this year but found it much tougher since; Chester fourth on latest start (his first on softer than good) was his best in form terms but still suggests he will be vulnerable. |
9/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Big chance on this year's best efforts but his form dipped at York in June and last week's Great St Wilfrid seventh wasn't great either; unraced on slower than good; not sure what to expect. |
9/1 |

7th 12 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise on his stable debut at York (5f, good) in May and he showed better form in defeat on his next two starts (both at York; 5f and 6f on good ground); messed about at the start when disappointing at York seven weeks ago; still of major interest from a handicapping perspective judged on his run on June 13 and he's unexposed at 6f; contender. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended his time with Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole with 6f win at Haydock in April; hit a personal best with that comfortable success but he's been well held in both runs for new yard this summer and latest was on Tapeta at Southwell; down the list. |
16/1 |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended his time with Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole with 6f Haydock success in April; beat only two home for his new yard in 5.5f Doncaster handicap 12 days ago so plenty more is needed. |
10/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |

Signed off for Richard Newland and Jamie Insole with victory in 6f handicap at Haydock in April; up 6lb and needs to hit the ground running for his new handler after an absence. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour. |
12/1 |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (turf) a fortnight ago; that came in a far less-competitive handicap off 2lb lower against her own sex, and she'll find this rather tougher. |

Made a winning handicap debut on AW last winter but has failed to back up the form since; enough to prove. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Has not been in the best of form and can't afford to be 5lb out of the weights. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Newcastle (5f) in January but he has failed to build on it and came in last in 5f handicaps at Haydock and Hamilton (hooded) on his last two runs; others are much preferred. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Experienced 3yo who was winning for third time this year when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May; short-headed at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago by one who was completing a hat-trick; major contender. |
4/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran well again at Windsor (6f, good to soft) next time, but failed to beat a rival at Ffos Las ten days ago and needs to bounce back. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip. |
