18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Hurdle/chase winner who has won four times on the Flat since moving to current yard earlier this year; lacks recent match practice over jumps and that could count against him in this competitive a race. |
16/1 |

9th 14 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Usually races prominently; 4-7 for new yard this year, including two wins on Southwell Tapeta (unraced here); fifth to Shrimp Shady in Chester Plate and ran well again when second at Thirsk last time; each-way chance. |

2nd 11 (3) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Usually races prominently; won four of his six starts for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) in April; has excuses for the two defeats, on latest occasion fifth of 17 in the 2m2f Chester Plate despite the work he had to do to front-run from wide draw; one to note. |

4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Three-time Flat winner in Britain (including on soft) and also winning hurdler; never sighted on recent comeback run, but more expected of here. |
9/1 |
|
14th 3 (17) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Useful Flat performer, winning three times and placing on a further nine occasions from 17 turf starts; took third at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft) and went one place better when beaten a neck at Musselburgh next time (2m, good); has often been frustrating, as shown by hurdles record 1-20; second eight times. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Carlisle in June (1m6f, good); some fair form since, including when second at Haydock last time (1m6f, heavy); each-way chance. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Seen most often at Musselburgh but his last two wins were at Nottingham (2m2f, heavy) last October and Carlisle (1m6f, good) this June; he's back to the same mark today and recent efforts give him place claims. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time course winner, the latest over C&D last October; he hasn't been at the top of his game on his last four starts, including here on his penultimate run, but he can't be ruled out at a venue he clearly relishes. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Missed 2025; has mostly been coming from well off the pace this term and that yielded a win at Thirsk (2m, good) in May and he ended up on the heels of the leaders in a Shergar Cup race at Ascot (2m, good to firm) when next seen 11 days ago; 5lb claimer takes over in what looks a tougher race. |
12/1 |

3rd 6 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
A winner off this mark on the AW just over two years ago when trained by David Simcock; returned from a long absence in the spring and back to his best best when coming from a long way off the pace to win well at Thirsk (2m, good) 69 days ago; back from a break with his yard going well; considered off 4lb higher. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Clearly a stayer on the upgrade having brought up an AW hat-trick with a convincing defeat of Maxident, who had a target on his back up the straight at Kempton (2m AW); worthy of the 7lb rise but how he'll deal with rain-hit ground is the glaring concern. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (10) |
10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has turned things around with wins at Southwell (1m6f) and Lingfield (1m5f), latterly defying a penalty by one length; the 4lb rise could find him out in this higher grade and Jack Callan, who was aboard for those wins, no longer claims. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 216y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has plenty of Musselburgh form, including three wins, but looks far from solid on his efforts for new yard and sometimes blows the start; returns to Class 6 for first time since 2023. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Three course wins, the latest last August, and he's well treated on that form (even from out of the weights today); however, this season's form has been mixed and others have more pressing claims. |
33/1 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 1m4f here, the latest off 4lb higher last August (good) when with Dianne Sayer; tailed off over 1m5f here last time (slowly away); takes a significant drop in trip; cheekpieces tried. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Weakened quickly 2f out when 11-10 favourite trying 2m at Musselburgh in April and he was pulled up; absent since (withdrawn in May with a bruised foot) and he wasn't seen last term after August, but he scored over about 1m4f (on good to firm/AW) on his last two completed starts and, tongue tied first time, this lightly raced 4yo could still have potential. |
4/1 |

2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Runaway winner of four-runner novice at Catterick (upped to 1m4f, good to firm) last August; had wind surgery in November and a clearcut win when favourite for seven-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; should stay and 6lb rise doesn't look harsh; well related and could easily have more to offer, so the hat-trick beckons. |

10st 1lb |
Dual 1m3f/1m5f scorer at Hamilton last summer; lightly raced since and came in a well-held fourth of six in 1m6f handicap at Carlisle last month; needs to bounce back. |
