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. |

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. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his first two for this yard, having joined from Richard Hannon, and has continued in form off his revised mark since; wants a good test over an easy 6f but has claims if he gets one in first-time headgear. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 1-13 for Richard Hannon but he won on his stable debut at Glorious Goodwood before following up with a last-gasp success at Redcar (both 6f on good to firm); up another 3lb but he's on a roll and is effective on slow ground including heavy; big player again back up in trip. |
5/4 |

1st 1 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Record of 1-13 for Richard Hannon but he made a bright start for his new yard when beating 25 rivals at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last Wednesday; up 4lb for that narrow success but he did well to overcome trouble and is a major player again on this drop back in grade. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Gained a second C&D success in fine style in May; hiked up 10lb but not discredited after a three-month layoff when in the frame at Southwell (7f) and Chester (7.5f) since; this front-runner is very much one to consider back here but has the outside draw. |
4/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Turf wins on good and good to firm; made all for two 7f AW victories earlier this year and back from a break with a solid 2l third at Southwell; possibilities. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 1m at Windsor on good to firm before following up here on good to soft; those were the peaks of his career and he's fallen away in his last two races. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (13) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Disappointing at Windsor last time when ahead of the assessor and bidding to take record since upped to 1m to 3-3; too soon to write him off at this distance but task is made harder by revised mark taking effect. |
12/1 |
|
7th 9 (6) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
All his early races at up to 7f but has found the step up to 1m very much to his liking on last two starts, finding plenty in the closing stages over this C&D (good to firm) and then under a penalty at Yarmouth (good to soft); unpenalised today and 2lb lower; good chance of the hat-trick. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Opened his account when winning at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in July and he's posted two respectable efforts since, including when racing alone at Leicester (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; below his best on his only previous try on the AW. |

Belatedly opened his account at Epsom (7f) in July and not disgraced with fifth of nine in another 7f handicap there 25 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first two nurseries on the AW (6f/7f) last autumn, but the handicapper has been in charge since; still 6lb above her last winning mark and has a bit to prove back on turf with cheekpieces fitted. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well treated when entering nursery company last autumn, twice winning easily (6f-7f); tougher going off her revised mark this spring but her latest effort, and the dam's side of her pedigree, gives hope this longer trip will be within range. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Ended 2025 with nursery wins at Southwell (6f) and Lingfield (7f); shaped as if the run was needed after five months off when seventh at Kempton (7f) last month and can get back on track here. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Sole win was in a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) a year ago, but he's had some close calls this season including over C&D on his penultimate run; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Chelmsford novice (7f, Polytrack) a year ago and has twice gone close in handicaps since returning in March, the latest when beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded) 16 days ago; up 2lb but still high on list. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Newly gelded; had excuses with one thing and another this year; this mark looks within range and there are positives back on the AW, and under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a decent record for the yard; shortlisted. |
