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 1 (1) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not at his best lately, but is back off the same mark as when winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April; has won three times over this trip including here and has a solid chance if producing anything like his best. |
7/2 |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In and out since winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April and he was beaten 8l after a slow start at Newbury last time; now only 1lb higher than for that last success but he needs to raise his game back up in trip. |

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. |
8/1 |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Largely in good form this term, notably two wins in the spring; ran well, beaten narrowly by the market leader, in four-runner field at Yarmouth (11.5f) latest run; upped in grade but receives weight all round; solid chance. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won here over 1m1f in April (good to firm) and followed up at Bath (11.5f, firm) next time off a 6lb lower mark than today's; disappointing at Beverley (1m2f) 36 days ago but he did sit close to a strong pace and may be able to bounce back. |

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. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Can flatter to deceive, like when trading at 11-10 in-running before giving best to Enthused at Southwell two runs ago having beaten him at Chelmsford in January; ran better than finishing position suggests latest but is two poor runs from two here. |
6/1 |
