17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
7f is his trip but he doesn't arrive in the best of form and he's unproven on the AW (down the field only attempt); carries risks. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins over 7f at Ayr on good and good to firm; nearly all his best form is on those surfaces and has work to do on the form of just two 6f handicaps in Britain. |
20/1 |

6th 9 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
All three of his wins have come at Ayr (7f) in Class 5 company; he is effective elsewhere though and his latest Musselburgh fifth can be upgraded a touch as he saw little daylight in the home straight; others preferred for win purposes all the same. |

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. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Only turf win was in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) for Jane Chapple-Hyam in October 2023; however, he has run two sound races to be placed at Ayr on last two starts (7f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins; 0-9 on turf but has a 7f race in him on grass on best form in the spring and had another troubled run at Beverley on Friday; has worn various aids on last two starts, goes without this time. |
11/2 |
|
11th 3 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing run as he's winless since 2024; ran okay in a new hood/cheekpieces combination at Musselburgh but has another change of headgear now; others probably safer. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted). |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran (5-81) stablemate of Zebra Star; respectable third over 1m here (good to firm) in July, but could make only minimal inroads over C&D (fifth; 22-1) latest; this is a slightly easier task. |
18/1 |
|
5th 12 (13) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Now 1lb lower than for his Musselburgh win (1m, good) last September but he hasn't posed a serious threat this season and was well held over C&D last Monday; needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran with plenty of course form to his name; third of nine over 1m here last week (winner Runninsonofagun runs in the 4.00); one of three runners for the stable. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well treated now but his season hasn't caught light yet, including when well beaten three weeks ago after a three-month break; capable but not a solid option. |
9/1 |
|
15th 10 (10) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last success was 16 months ago but that was off 6lb higher and he didn't get much luck when fifth at Carlisle in June; could be dangerous back up in trip, but he probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out (most of his wins have been on good or slower). |
14/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had wind surgery prior to Ayr reappearance effort that seemed to be needed; gained most recent success off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) just over a year ago and looks interesting back here. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins this season, over 6f at Carlisle and over 5f here; latest Newcastle third can be upgraded and he is one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (7) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins on turf this summer (5f-6f) but he's been a long way below form in his last two starts; still unexposed on AW but he has a patchy profile and needs a major revival back in this sphere. |
16/1 |
|
6th 9 (13) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins on fast ground this summer (5f-6f; handles heavy); disappointed as favourite at Carlisle 19 days ago; drawn wide and others have stronger claims. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sole success came on AW in March 2025 for the Crisford yard; best run this year when runner-up at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month in first-time visor (retained since); didn't back that up when eighth of 16 at Redcar (6f, good) 12 days later but holds claims if he puts his best foot forward. |
4/1 |
|
8th 1 (12) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Off a much reduced mark and with a new visor fitted he ran his best race for a while to be second of 13 at Ayr (6f, good to soft) recently; clear claims if he can back that up. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (14) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Arrives out of sorts, tried in cheekpieces when last of nine in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 27 days ago; visor is tried here. |
