5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Added to his excellent course record with two more wins this year, including this trip; another excellent effort here when chasing home Gamrai over 1m3f in March, with next-time-out winners behind in third/fourth; fair fourth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) when last seen in June and much respected back at Kempton. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (10) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |

Fine from 1m to 1m4f; has won on turf but the AW looks more his scene and especially Kempton where he beat all bar a handicap snip the last time; back on grass others look safer. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has run several good races in defeat this year and perhaps found good to soft ground troublesome when well behind at Epsom two weeks ago; should be on the scene granted suitable conditions. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (10) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Yet to win this year but he has run several good races in defeat at this trip; the bulk of his racing has been on good ground or quicker so underfoot conditions could be troublesome. |

Beaten on his last 15 starts but placed over 1m4f/1m2f in three of his five races this term; has the form for another prominent finish and is claimer ridden for the first time. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Two AW wins in December and he returned to winning ways at Chester (10.3f, good) in July; not so good at Windsor five weeks ago and likely vulnerable to younger rivals. |
14/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-25 on the AW compared to 0-14 on turf; below form on last two outings (back on AW ten days ago) but won off a 4lb higher mark over C&D in February and can't be ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
6-24 on the AW compared to 0-14 on turf; below his best at Chester (1m2f, good) two months ago but he's now 4lb lower than for February's Wolverhampton success, and this dual C&D winner makes some appeal back on the AW. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-24 on AW but 0-13 on turf; returned to form when second over C&D (good; Class 3) two weeks ago but he dictated steady fractions from the front and it probably flatters him; still commands some attention. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a good prize off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f) on Good Friday but has mixed record since; ought to have been suited by the soft ground when midfield at Salisbury (1m4f) recently; others appeal more. |
15/2 |

5th 1 |
1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
1m4f AW winner in April followed by two good efforts; not so good since and although he still took third at Windsor (good to soft) last time, new trip needs to spark something if he's to improve his modest strike-rate. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
1m4f AW handicap winner in April and followed that with two good efforts, including here; however, he finds winning difficult and no real positives to take from his last three races. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Improved last year without quite winning; each-way claims if back to best with first-time headgear after two rather disappointing runs in 2026. |
9/2 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Not quite at his best at Kempton last month but that came after 94 days off and he could improve for it; held up in slowly run race at Kempton in October when 2l fourth on his sole previous crack at 2m, and he may yet be capable of better at this sort of trip; has won here and could be involved. |
11/2 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice in 2024, including over 1m4f on Tapeta; had only five runs last year but he went close on two occasions, including in a Class 2 at Southwell (1m4f) in November; 2lb higher on his return but he hit a personal best last time and he's a key player on this drop back in grade. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles in the summer and has slipped to an attractive Flat mark but looked out of sorts when tailed off on last two appearances; leap of faith required to support him. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner off 1lb higher in March 2025; landed a minor handicap hurdle at Stratford in July but he has since finished tailed off in a Class 2 handicap at Glorious Goodwood (extended 2m4f); others look safer. |
12/1 |
|
14th 10 (10) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Below form on the Flat this year, for instance 11th to Believitanducan in the Northumberland Vase last month; not proven beyond 2m in this sphere but he switched back to hurdles for a 2m6f win at Stratford 12 days ago, which might give some renewed hope. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won here (1m, good to firm) in May and at the other Newmarket course (1m, good) in June, and he was a close third at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two starts ago; however, it's been an inconsistent campaign and he was soundly beaten back at Ascot (1m, good) last time; others are more solid. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent this year but made it three wins in 2026 when scoring at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in July and he was a close third to Hickory over this C&D (good to firm) next time; could be in the shake-up. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins on the two Newmarket courses this season (1m, good to firm/good), the latest coming last month when held up; only fifth to Asmen Warrior at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago but saw plenty of daylight in a prominent position and may not have been seen to best effect; this lightly raced 4yo remains one to be interested in. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Chase/hurdle winner who won on the AW at Lingfield in February 2025; hasn't been in top form on his last couple of runs over hurdles; on a fair mark now. |
20/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |
