1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Unable to pose a threat on his last six starts but the last time he tackled a trip as short as 1m2f he was third at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in May and is now fully 9lb lower; he's not discounted. |
11/1 |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seems to act on most ground; recorded the latest of his six wins when scoring at Leicester (1m4f, good; stays further) in April but he's been below par over the summer and beat a total of one rival across his last three starts; now handicapped accordingly but revival still required. |
20/1 |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Not at his best lately (well-held last of three latest) but is 2lb lower than when scoring over this trip on good in the spring so a revival wouldn't surprise with Dylan Cunha among the winners. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won on fast turf at Yarmouth (1m1f) and Bath (extended 1m3f) in the spring; plenty of creditable efforts in defeat since; likely to be competitive with Conor Whiteley taking 5lb off. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice on turf in the spring and has finished runner-up at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) and Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in two of his last three runs; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can continue the good work. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing last of four at Catterick in July but mostly in good form this term, winning twice; if back on song he should have a part to play. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Came close to a first win when involved in a tight finish on Lingfield AW (1m2f; first-time cheekpieces, now blinkered) in January; creditable show over 1m4f on this track in April but lesser effort returned to 1m2f since; reservations for win purposes. |
8/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went close at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January but she's not matched that form in three subsequent runs; ran respectably at Leicester (1m4f, good) three weeks ago but she's now 0-9 and needs to find more back in trip. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fair maiden after eight races; beaten a neck in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January but ran poorly next time (cheekpieces) and moderately on latest (visor); well treated on best efforts but others inspire a bit more confidence. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed some ability in two maidens (1m/1m2f) in autumn 2024 for Owen Burrows; absent 489 days, gelded and changed stables before his last of eight in a novice at Kempton (1m4f; 16-1) 19 days ago, which is not the strongest recommendation but he could easily have needed that run, has better chance going handicapping and wears first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Showed some ability (RPRs 70 and 69) in maidens over 1m on turf and 1m2f on AW in autumn 2024 for Owen Burrows; absent and gelded since; has joined Andrew Balding, who also runs Classical Allusion; possibly open to improvement; the betting may offer further guidance. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time Flat winner who scored twice on AW early this year; record of 1-15 over hurdles but he was a creditable third at Warwick (2m, good; hood added) in his final run in the spring; 2lb lower here and has each-way claims if he can pick up where he left off. |
6/1 |

3rd 8 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won twice on the Flat this year and was competitive over hurdles during the opening half of last year; belatedly tries a hood this afternoon; considered with so little weight to carry. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Brighton (1m2f) on almost this day last year and has scored twice (1m2f/1m3f) on AW in 2026, including at Kempton on latest start; also effective at 1m4f and well capable of another bold show. |
