31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good few short-priced defeats for two previous yards to go with his sole win, which came off 2lb lower at Newcastle in May (picked up last month for just £2,000); never been the most consistent. |

Made it 13th-time lucky at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) 18 days ago, but that race was run at a farcically slow gallop; just 2lb higher, but not hard to have serious reservations. |

9st 1lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m, AW) in March and went close over that C&D last month but was well held when fourth behind Laravie at Pontefract (2m1f, good) 11 days ago and still needs to prove himself on turf. |

Kept on well to finish ahead of Lady Phoebe at Newcastle (2m) but he's inconsistent and has yet to prove himself on turf. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better, the blinkers experiment having been binned following a below-par effort last time. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on fast ground at Nottingham (1m6f/1m2f) in the summer but the latter success came in a basement-grade classified race and this AW return comes after an 11-week break; others look stronger. |
10/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seemed to win with a bit more in hand than the margin would suggest when beating Charencey by a neck in a 0-50 apprentice classified event at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) one week ago; stamina not in doubt over this longer trip having won over 1m6f at the same track last month; high on the list. |

Scrambled home in a 1m6f handicap here (good to firm) last month; no threat in an Epsom handicap since; drops in trip and wouldn't want this to become tactical. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
2m5f winner at Pontefract (good) in April and both Flat runs since were respectable; disappointing returned to hurdles for latest outing (June) but needs respect in this sphere. |
4/1 |

8th 8 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-7 over hurdles but ran quite well when fourth at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March and her subsequent 2m5f Flat win makes her of strong interest over this new trip. |
6/1 |

2nd 7 (11) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

Won by 5.5l over the extended 2m5f here before getting outpaced in a sprint finish back over 2m at Newcastle; remains in good form and entitled to feature. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enduring a lengthy losing run and was beaten over 14l over this C&D (good) 11 days ago; hard to fancy. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 23 starts was in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February 2025 in first-time blinkers; runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month but finished last in small fields on starts either side; it's a mixed picture but he needs a second look. |

Sole win from 22 starts was in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in February 2025; runner-up over this trip at Catterick (good to firm) 13 days ago but he was beaten 7l and the winner let that form down at Newmarket on Friday night; passed over. |

9st 0lb |
Got off the mark at the 14th attempt, at Redcar (1m6f, good) in June; good second over 2m there next time but two lesser efforts have followed; now has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue-tie. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap at Redcar (good) in June; creditable second of four over 2m there (good to firm) since, both under today's rider Cian Horgan. |

Just 1-30 and nothing for a long time to suggest he can double his tally. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Useful in Ireland in his younger days but been poor under both codes for this yard for a good while; tailed off behind two of these at Pontefract last time. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |

He's dropped to a basement mark but his sole win came in 2020 and this 9yo struggled to get competitive last year; first run since last October. |
