29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Best efforts at 7f, including on this course; signs of return to form when close seventh of 20 at Glorious Goodwood, having to wait for room; handles good to soft ground; should be thereabouts off the same mark. |
10/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Finished a fairly close fourth in this last year (good) when the pick of James Doyle from three Wathnan runners; had been gelded before taking a 7f handicap at Kempton (AW) on his reappearance in the spring but it's been downhill in two subsequent starts; hopes pinned on his second visit to Goodwood sparking a revival. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record is 3-10; gelded prior to reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW; looked better than ever) and had an excuse (raced in unfavoured group) when never landing a blow in the Victoria Cup over C&D since; could go well, provided this race pans out better. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
2-21 for Charlie Hills, well treated on the best of that form and not disgraced when tried in visor/cheekpieces in his three outings for new yard; all starts have been over 7f or 1m but there are bits of encouragement for 1m2f and he's crept down to a career-low mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner (7f/1m) who has posted some good efforts at this track, including when runner-up over this C&D in March off a 4lb higher mark; two solid runs since joining this stable and has to be considered with first-time visor replacing cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Useful 7f and 1m form in 2026, including when fifth in a higher grade at Sandown (first-time cheekpieces) in June on yard debut; however he's won just once in the last three years and although he showed useful form in a C&D novice as a 3yo, his AW runs since have come on Polytrack; shade to prove. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Sole success came in a Newbury maiden (6f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding just over a year ago; makes his debut for new yard having changed hands for 32,000gns in July; tackles 1m2f for the first time but there's hope on pedigree. |

8th 10 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
He's 3lb out of the handicap and he wasn't quite at his best last time; however, he kicked off his campaign with two good runs in defeat and there remains a suspicion he may yet have a bigger performance in him. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Four course wins over 7f; ran well on the figures but still faded late on when fourth over C&D when last seen in June; should be thereabouts but others may be stronger at the finish. |

4th 2 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Four course wins over 7f; went close at that trip last month and a subsequent turf defeat isn't the run to judge him on; has had only one attempt at 1m and he appeared to stay; career best needed to win, though. |
8/1 |

12th 9 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Made it 4-9 in AW handicaps when winning at Kempton (7f) last month and went close there next time (7f); key player if transferring his form back to grass; well beaten here on sole turf start but that was his debut back in September 2024. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins from 37 starts, the most recent at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in December; got behind early at Southwell last time after short of room leaving the stalls but then kept on into seventh; each-way contender with refitted cheekpieces replacing regular hood. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Seen much more often on turf than the AW but he did win on sand at Chelmsford (7f) last December and has since shown useful course form over 6f and 7f; down the field at Doncaster most recently but would have a squeak if back to his C&D form in March. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has been unable to sustain early progress and is 0-7 since debut success; ran respectably on penultimate start and is on a reduced mark but chance of doubling his tally largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; won debut on Southwell AW; close fourth on handicap debut there (1m) last October is markedly better than what he's done in three starts since, but he made late gains over 7f at Musselburgh on latest start to prompt some hope given today's step up in trip. |
18/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Successful 7f debut at Southwell; just a handful of starts since, showing useful form when fourth of ten on handicap debut in a warm race on Southwell AW in October only to run poorly next time; likely to come on for last week's Kempton run but now needs to show he can hack it on turf. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
In a first-time hood with close third of 14 at Glorious Goodwood and highly tried since in Class 2s at York (1m2f) and Ascot (1m; headgear left off); sights are lowered this time and she should be a strong contender. |
100/30 |

7th 8 (1) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who showed improved form in a first-time hood with close third of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good; Nanino Niyati just ahead) in July; respectable effort when sixth of 14 in valuable York handicap (10.5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and there's a fair chance this stiff mile might be her sweet spot. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Lightly raced 4yo who showed improved form in a first-time hood (retained) with close third of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) last month; shaped on that occasion as though this first crack at 1m2f would be worth a go; might be involved; hinted at promise on soft ground on debut in 2024. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Down the field in Dubai on his stable debut in December (1m1f, good to firm); can go well fresh so a 106-day absence no bad thing; hasn't run over 7f since his debut but he lurks on a dangerous mark and new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Four starts at 1m this term have yielded good seconds in competitive York handicaps but his two goes over C&D don't match them; that's enough to put him down the pecking order. |

Finished well to exploit reduced mark at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in July; best run since when third of 14 over 1m1f at Newmarket (good) under Patrick Millman 13 days ago, catching the eye a bit with his late headway from the rear; back down 2f in trip now. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Finished well to exploit reduced mark at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in July and remains well handicapped on older form but was safely held on his last two starts; others have more appealing profiles. |

5th 5 (6) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

Won from off the pace over C&D (good to firm; effective on softer) before a very disappointing return to this track when 1m2f wasn't to blame; capable but risky. |
