31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Added to his Musselburgh win last spring when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell last time; that was an eye-catching effort and he could be dangerous back on turf. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins, including one over this C&D in May off a 5lb lower mark than today's; respectable effort when fourth behind younger rivals over 1m6f at Southwell ten days ago and won't mind this drop back in trip; could go well. |

Resumed winning ways over 1m3f here in May; turned in a rare poor run with eighth of 12 in 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last time; the sort to bounce back, though. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner whose most recent success came at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; below his best at Chester last time but drops back into class 6 company with claims. |

7th 3 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
This year's four wins have been in Class 6s but it was very clearcut at Beverley (1m4f, good to form) three weeks ago when the cheekpieces were back on; he's still fairly treated off 4lb higher. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Capable of the odd howler but he opened his account in Southwell handicap (1m4f, Tapeta) in April and similar form when third in an amateur riders' race back there three weeks later; wasn't at his best in another amateur riders' race last time but he's recovered from blips before. |
10/1 |

6th 5 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

Finally opened his account at Southwell in April and he followed it with a solid third of eight there eight days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A few near-misses around here before finally off the mark three weeks ago off 6lb lower (boasts a much better record on Tapeta than Polytrack); holds obvious claims under the vastly experienced Simon Walker. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Third start for new yard when winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) under Grace Littmoden in May; 4lb rise fair enough and the return to turf shouldn't be a problem back from a short break; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
1st 8 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025 for Ian Williams; in good nick for his present yard too, fourth of eight in 1m3f Southwell handicap eight days ago; not out of things. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Responded well to second-time cheekpieces under Ruby Criscuolo at Brighton (1m4f) nine days ago, ending a long losing spell; placed over C&D the time before; in the mix, even with 4lb penalty. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Both wins came when trained in Ireland in 2023; has made the frame in five of his last six races; returning cheekpieces replace visor but losing run is mounting up. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Yet to add to his two Irish wins in 2023 but has performed well twice this month, finishing second in Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) and fourth in classified race here (1m4f); this drop back in trip ought to suit; probably won't be far away. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win at Chelmsford under Freddie Robson; has lost his way since (cheekpieces off here) but is back on the mark he defied at Chelmsford so a revival wouldn't surprise in this uncompetitive race. |
9/2 |

8th 5 (12) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Cheekpieces seemed to have a positive effect early in the year, notably for a 1m2f win on Chelmsford Polytrack, but he was soundly beaten in them on penultimate start and below form when hooded on latest; now he has cheekpieces plus a first-time tongue-tie; lightly raced but none too solid. |
11/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Cheekpieces had a positive effect early in the year and he switches to a first-time hood tonight off the back of a below-par effort at Leicester; should be happier back on the AW under Freddie Robson, who's currently a combined 2-7 under both codes. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Went close in a handicap hurdle off a mark of 104 in March 2025 but returned from a long absence with two underwhelming AW runs; showed much more back over hurdles in a first-time tongue-tie when a staying-on third at Perth (2m, good) 12 days ago; this step back up in trip may suit; respected. |
4/5 |

3rd 3 |
15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lost out by only a short head on stable/handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in March 2025; that form puts him right in the thick of things here but he returned from a long absence with two disappointing AW runs this spring and needs to prove his wellbeing; tongue-tie added. |

Blew the start before finishing a remote last on his comeback two months ago; will need a big step forward. |

8th 10 (3) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
A lot of years since his trainer saddled a Flat winner and he'll do very well to end the run, back from almost a year off and from 6lb out of the handicap under Venetia Thompson (0-7 under both codes currently). |
100/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
26th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins on AW, the latest over three years ago; well held on AW at Southwell when last seen and not hard to look elsewhere. |
50/1 |
