21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race. |

4th 11 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Just 2lb higher than when winning over 7f here in April, but is unraced beyond 1m1f and this looks a tough race in which to prove his stamina. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly bolted up at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; that remains his only success but he's generally been running well this term and the handicapper is starting to give him a chance; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list. |
5/2 |

2nd 3 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win from 16 starts came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and did best of those ridden prominently when eighth of 22 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and he's considered. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1-18 on other AW tracks (unraced here) but there's plenty on turf and AW to suggest that he has each-way claims. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 6f course winner for Charlie Clover in October; 0-6 for current stable since April but posted sound effort when second of five over C&D (good to firm) in June and is another 1lb lower today. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not had a lot of luck with one thing and another lately and won't mind going back up to an easy 7f as he bids to take his course record to 3-3; higher in the weights than when twice winning easily here for Tom Clover last backend but he's respected. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
6-31 on AW, four of those wins gained over C&D and the most recent a ready success from a 1lb lower mark last December; failed to settle on outer when only eighth of 12 (Jersey Maverick sixth, State of Madness ninth) at Kempton three weeks ago; others arrive in better form. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Best known for his Southwell exploits, but has run well here including a win over this trip; the outside stall is not ideal, though. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Last four wins have been gained over C&D at Class 5 or lower, and tonight's would be the highest banded handicap he has taken in to date; drop back from 1m rates a plus, but clear career best likely required. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has run a number of good in defeat races this season, including fourth over C&D last month; went down only to a progressive 3yo at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the third and fourth have franked that form; bold show likely. |
5/2 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Exposed four-time winner; has run a number of good races this season and Doncaster last time was one of those, as he did well to finish so close after missing the break; not without hope. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in Ireland (7f-1m2f) for Michael Mulvany, including over 1m at Listowel (heavy) last September; things are yet to click for him for this trainer (0-7), hanging under pressure at Hamilton (8.5f) recently; mark continues to ease. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Won his final start in Ireland (1m, heavy); hasn't been in the same form for new stable but worth a second look in the betting back from a two-month break. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual Southwell winner off lower marks early in the year who ran poorly there when last seen and has been off for almost four months since; would need a career-best in order to take this. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement. |
5/1 |
|
12th 8 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now. |
