15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Has raced on only the AW, with her wins at Southwell (1m) in October and on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March both coming after five-month layoffs; it's unclear how she will cope with turf but she is undoubtedly progressive. |
10/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Went close here last May and 154 days later she quickened up best off slow fractions in a 1m Southwell maiden; should do better over this longer trip and Owen Burrows remains her trainer despite the sale in December by former owners for 95,000gns. |

Both starts in spring, better effort when going close at Chelmsford (1m) latest; this Shadwell filly could well take another step forward; warrants respect. |

30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1-15 in handicaps, with the win on Lingfield AW (AW) last November but he's often been thereabouts, including on turf; bang there on Wolverhampton AW on both outings this term, the latest just three days ago; player. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Won twice, including over C&D; most encouraging when runner-up over C&D four weeks ago on his return from a break and should go close here. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (12) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Novice winner who doubled his tally by a head over Lingfield's 1m2f in November; could go well off 3lb higher if ready to rock after his break. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful at his best on the Flat, albeit with just a 1-17 strike-rate, and easily justified skinny odds in three-runner Plumpton maiden (2m, good) on hurdling debut a fortnight ago; has more on his plate here but ought to play a major role. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
1-17 on the Flat but has a good level of ability; went close on stable debut at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) last month and soft ground may not have suited at Goodwood next time; brother to a 2m hurdle winner and he has the credentials to make his mark in this code; respected on jumps debut. |
11/4 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win at Nottingham at about 1m (good) in April 2025 but he has C&D form and a close call with Zachary Hickes at Yarmouth (about 1m3f, good to firm) for new yard puts him in this picture; may well improve further even though he's not obviously ahead of his mark on past efforts. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who completed a quickfire double last autumn but is 0-13 since and his second-place finish in June has not been backed up, kept to Brighton since; opposed. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Long in the tooth now and not firing on all cylinders this season but, from a reduced mark, ran well in defeat over C&D (good to firm) in June; had excuse (lame) when below form here last month; big player if all goes to plan this time. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Has yet to score this year but is getting close, finishing second of eight over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday; 8lb lower than for his two wins last autumn. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Four-time AW winner at Wolverhampton, where he usually races nowadays; has regressive turf form and it's four years since his sole success in this sphere. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (11) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

All four AW wins have been at this track; steps up in distance and holds claims if he gets the trip. |

5th 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent last November; on a realistic mark and recent Lingfield run wasn't too shoddy on the back of an absence. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last November off a 3lb higher mark; shaped as if in form when seventh of 12 there in a 0-80 in March but he's been absent since; considered. |
10/1 |

7th 12 (9) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |

5lb lower than when winning narrowly at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) in March, but his stamina for this far remains unproven; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March but not proving the easiest to catch right since, finishing just a fair third of six at Brighton (1m) 16 days ago; others are preferred. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Has somewhat mixed record since joining this stable about a year ago but won on Tapeta (1m2f) in March and posted good effort when keeping-on third at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; still on a workable mark; must be considered. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not as good now and has his share of off days; back on a winning mark, though, has a C&D win to his name and this is less competitive than he's used to returning from ten weeks off. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He's 0-14 but was in good form for Richard Hughes in early summer, signing off with second of ten in 1m2f Salisbury handicap in June; since changed hands for 26,000gns and needs considering for his new yard after a break. |
10/1 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |

Maiden who had a reasonably solid record last term but proved far less consistent this year; otherwise capable of taking a serious hand, provided he turns up in good form. |

Dual Dundalk winner at 1m; left Ireland out of form (changed hands for 6,000gns) and he was tailed off at big odds for stable debut at Southwell. |
50/1 |
|
11th 12 (12) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice at Dundalk (1m, AW) last winter but he was out of sorts in final five runs in Ireland; left David Marnane for 6,000gns last September; has plenty to prove on return for new yard and he's untried on Tapeta; stablemate of Tribal Wisdom. |
20/1 |

11th 9 (13) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Both wins and most runs at Dundalk; 0-5 on turf, bit more encouraging behind Star Mind at Naas on latest but good bit more required here. |
