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. |
10/1 |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Landed his third win at this track (1m4f) in May; takes a significant drop in trip after beating only one home at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) last month; may be best to wait until he steps back up in distance. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (6) |
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. |

2nd 11 (5) |
28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Ended long losing run at Brighton last month for Ruby Criscuolo; that came over 1m4f in first-time cheekpieces (back to a visor today) and he's strugged twice since; No Knee Never may be his yard's best chance. |
16/1 |

5th 8 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Cosy winner of 1m4f amateur riders' race at Brighton last month; awkward start and just modest late gains on Lingfield AW since; has run respectably over this C&D but 0-18 on AW; hood returns in place of cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

8th 8 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back on same mark as for breakthrough win at Chelmsford (1m2f) in March but was out of form when last seen in spring/summer; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted; needs 79-day break to have done him good. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
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. |

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. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Dual Tapeta winner over similar trips in his younger days, but his latest efforts have been moderate and he makes little appeal. |
33/1 |

8th 11 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Blew the start before finishing a remote last on his comeback two months ago; will need a big step forward. |
66/1 |

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 |
