15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Has progressed really well this season and notched a third success over 6f here in June; posted a good fifth of ten in 6f handicap at Newmarket (form franked) last month so must enter calculations. |

5th 1 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won two in a row in May (7f, good to firm) and he returned to winning ways when back down in trip at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; this progressive 4yo could take a 4lb rise in his stride. |

1st 3 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive over 7f this term until latest start when admittedly not disgraced; won well at Doncaster to initiate a May double and he looks a possible danger if coping with the return to 6f. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
C&D winner on good to firm in July and made it 2-2 at Ascot when picking up well to collar the reopposing Dannick (8.5l back to the third) over 1m here (good) four weeks ago; more on his plate off 6lb higher but no reason why he won't give his running again. |

1st 7 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Beat ten rivals to get off the mark over 7f here in July and remains in form, as wasn't beaten all that far at Glorious Goodwood before coming home strongly for a near miss at Brighton (1m, good to firm); firmly in the mix. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Belatedly came good with clearcut Ascot win (7f, good to firm) last month, his 12th start, and was not discredited when ninth in big-field sprint at Glorious Goodwood a week ago; will be suited by this return to 1m and may still have a bit more to offer. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3-29 on the AW compared to 1-23 on turf, the last two successes coming at Southwell in January (6f/7f); went close at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago and will have no issue with the drop back in trip; respected. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner who is only 1-22 on turf but has been placed a few times since returned to this sphere, runner-up at Leicester most recently; fighting chance off current mark in this field. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has largely consistent form, close fourth at Leicester (7f) most recently; however, he's the only maiden in this field and chance of winning partly depends on the effects of added tongue-tie. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Is 0-9 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 6f handicap here 26 days ago; in the mix back up to 7f now. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Couple of decent efforts under aggressive Harry Vigors rides in 7.2f Wolverhampton handicaps since the cheekpieces went on; first crack at sprinting on his turf debut and is one to consider. |

Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably behind Sandy Craic over C&D in June; similar form at Newmarket last month; each-way shout. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably at Carlisle most recently; form over C&D comprises a ready win (off 2lb higher) in this contest two years ago and creditable third (off 7lb higher) last August; good chance back here. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner as part of a hat-trick of 6f wins in May and June, when with Pam Sly; took a step back in the right direction when returning here and 2l third latest; will have a little to prove on slower ground but should be involved if he handles it. |
14/1 |
|
11th 10 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for Pam Sly in early summer, going around a stone up the weights; placed efforts here all came off lower marks and he'll need to improve upon his latest C&D run, having since been sold for 6,000gns. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful for previous yards; ran respectably on debut for current stable but has regressed at Southwell in two subsequent starts; hence a turnaround is required. |
12/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Left Michael Herrington for 12,000gns; bang there on yard debut over 7f at Newcastle and should be in the mix once more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual 7f winner in the spring who was picked up from Michael Herrington for 12,000gns a couple of months ago; have to go a long way back for the last time he won off a mark this high, while all victories have come after a recent start. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has stood up well to a busy year, winning three times and better than ever when successful at Brighton (7f, good) in September; not quite at that level in two runs since but perhaps fitting a visor in place of cheekpieces will help. |
9/1 |
|
9 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Notched a third success of 2026 at Brighton (7f) in September; backed it up with a solid fourth of nine in 7f handicap at Beverley 13 days ago; this consistent sort ought to be in the shake-up again. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins this year, including C&D, and he was well on top at the finish when scoring at Brighton (7f, good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise in a deeper race could leave him vulnerable. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Landed her sixth win in emphatic style at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) in August off 9lb lower; unproven over 1m and may need to come down the weights before she can be considered. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (13) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Fine on soft and good ground; won by 6l at Ffos Las last month (7.5f, good) but a well-held third under a penalty at Haydock (7f, heavy) and now 6lb higher; has won at 6f but perhaps needs further now. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual soft-ground winner who cashed in on a reduced mark when coming well clear at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last Friday; 5lb penalty still leaves her 7lb well in and she went back-to-back under a penalty around this time last year; might take some stopping. |
