Won two handicaps over shorter in the first half of the year; ran well upped to 1m when second of 13 at Ripon six weeks ago; up 2lb and needs to step forward again. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Got off the mark over C&D in May and followed up at Doncaster (7f) following month; posted a solid sixth of 12 in 7f York handicap last time; must enter calculations stepping up to 1m for the first time. |

8st 8lb |
Beaten on first ten starts but got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Ripon (6f, good) in May and followed up in big field at Doncaster (7f, good); his winning run was ended back at Doncaster but ran with credit again in fourth. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a couple of 6f handicaps in May; expensive to follow since but the addition of a hood can help and he is back to his last winning mark. |
16/1 |
|
19th 11 (14) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Successful twice over 6f on good ground in May and has made the frame, predominantly over 5f, in most starts since; each-way squeak. |
16/1 |
|
4th 11 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in May and there have been varied excuses for his defeats since, latterly when suffering a torrid passage over C&D 18 days ago; things will fall right for him one day but ground slower than good will be a first for him. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive 3yo who has won three of her five starts, including with a strong finish at Lingfield (5f, AW) 12 days ago; that was a last-gasp success, but she showed a fine attitude and still looks feasibly treated off her revised mark; big player. |
15/8 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has mostly been in good nick on turf this summer, winning at Ripon and Beverley; needs to transfer that form to AW (first six races of her career were on AW) but looks a player if she can. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Came good at 15th attempt, leading close home over C&D 17 days ago; that was only his third run for Philip Kirby and further progress is possible. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
14-race maiden; good second over C&D on final start for Noel Wilson in July; fair run when second back on turf on stable debut next time; could go well. |
7/1 |
|
6th 12 (5) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-13 but consistent and was a rallying second on yard debut over 5f here (good to firm) two weeks ago; considered back at 6f with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has improved this year since cheekpieces were fitted, winning at Ripon twice and at Doncaster; not beaten far when fourth of nine at Thirsk (1m, good) last month and should not be far away. |
11/2 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has done well this term, winning three times since cheekpieces have been fitted, scoring by a short head at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month; 2lb higher; should continue to run well. |
11/2 |

1st 6 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Notched a second success of 2026 at Ripon (1m) in July and followed it with a very good third of seven off an 8lb higher mark in another 1m handicap there 12 days ago; must enter calculations. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win from 16 starts came on Newcastle's Tapeta (6f) in April off a 4lb higher mark; handicapping case to be made but she's been below her best on last four starts. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won 6f handicap here in April and a good second over C&D since; fair fourth at Ayr last time (good to soft); worth considering. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won a C&D handicap (good) in June but has not really gone on from that and he's finished down the field in his last three runs; overall record is now 1-14 and he has some work to do in this competitive race. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (11) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Redcar (6f, good) in June but has mixed record since and he was well held at Catterick last week; comes with risks attached and he probably needs to kick on again to defy this mark; one to two runners for yard. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Redcar winner off 3lb lower in June who returned to that sort of level last time; no obvious reason he won't go well once more from a handy stall. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Ran well at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last August, beaten under one length into fourth in a nursery off an 8lb higher mark than today's; no progress since and he needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him. |
20/1 |
|
12th 8 (4) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Didn't score heavily on the consistency front as a 2yo but his peak effort, a close fourth at Beverley last August (5f, good to firm), came off a 3lb higher mark; absent since September; stable also runs Doilookokay. |
16/1 |
|
8 (7) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Stayed on for a close fourth at Beverley on his penultimate start (5f, good to firm); remote third at Musselburgh two weeks later; improvement required. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Signs of ability in three 2yo runs but she has finished last in her two sprint handicap runs this year (6f, AW and 5f, good); dropping down the weights but she has a point to prove. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Just minor promise in three novice/maiden runs last year; well-beaten 28-1 shot on last month's handicap/seasonal return (6f, AW); returning to 5f on turf could help but she does have a point to prove. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Thrice-raced filly who posted her worst effort in sole AW attempt but may fare better in this handicap scenario on return from six-month absence; market support would cement that possibility. |
14/1 |
