13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
3-27 overall on turf (minor honours both starts here) but there were two turf wins this spring; needs to bounce back from two modest displays. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up in 5f Listed race at this meeting as a 2yo; some good efforts in handicaps for this yard, just losing out at Windsor in May and finishing close up there in August when returning from a break (both on good to firm; has run respectably on soft); has more to prove this time. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win in a Beverley maiden over two years ago but he only just failed to gain a first handicap win when touched off by Justcallmepete over C&D (good to firm) in May; some way below that level in Diligently's race here the following month, though, and others are higher up the list. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner on the AW last season (5f/6f); not scored so far this term, but was runner-up at Salisbury in June (6f, good to firm) and Windsor in July (6f, good to firm); handles soft ground and well drawn but drop in trip may not be ideal on this sharp track. |
9/1 |

5th 13 (4) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Came up well short in series final (Class 2) at Windsor last time; knocking at the door otherwise this season but may ideally need a drop back in grade. |
14/1 |
|
12th 7 (15) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins on AW; 0-9 on grass but cheekpieces seem to have bucked him up of late and he was very close to breaking his turf duck at Salisbury before making late inroads into Another Abbot's lead over this C&D last time; weighted to be thereabouts with that one and can't be ruled out. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Resumed winning ways in 6f Windsor handicap in August; not disgraced from a poor draw when in midfield in 21-runner handicap at York (5.5f) since; eased 1lb and can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
10th 10 (20) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Travelled powerfully before wearing down The Man close home in this race 12 months ago; he arrives 3lb higher this time around, penalised for last week's Windsor success (a race in which he was second before his win here last year); whether his draw in stall 20 is a positive remains to be seen though. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
All five wins over sprint trips, the latest at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; three lesser runs since and remains 2lb above that winning mark; started his career over 7f (runner-up second start) but has raced almost exclusively over shorter since. |
33/1 |
|
10th 6 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a more favourable mark when winning over this C&D (good to firm) in June, a first win in Britain for over two years; perhaps downhill tracks weren't so helpful in two runs since, at 6f and 5f, but he still has something to find in this company. |
25/1 |

20th 13 (10) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ended a losing run in a Class 4 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month but only fourth of seven when penalised at Epsom; well beaten in his two visits here. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
A fairly useful 5f scorer for Michael Appleby; shaped well for her new yard when placed in 5f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Nottingham in the spring but beat only one over C&D in May; freshened up since and no surprise to see her play a prominent role. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over 5f; successful three times for previous yard and beaten only half a length in both starts for new stable, while leaving the impression this return to 6f is perhaps worth exploring; in-form filly who warrants respect. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three turf wins, including over C&D, for previous yard; close second to Layla Liz when favourite at Wolverhampton (5f) on AW/stable/seasonal debut, doing well having come from a difficult position; could well reverse the placings and go one better. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not much has gone right this season, including when well backed on his return to the AW last time (always trapped deep at Lingfield); currently 3-7 on Tapeta and is well handicapped now, so needs considering for a yard that also saddles Michaela's Boy. |
5/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Currently 4-8 on the AW and 1-1 on Polytrack (C&D); not a lot has gone right this season and he switches from turf on an attractive mark; will need some luck from a wide stall but is one to consider for a trainer who also runs Michaela's Boy. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely seen on a downhill track but ran a corking race in Group 3 over C&D as 2yo; often well below best in 2026 but intermittent flashes of form have lightened the gloom, including when a close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good to firm; first-time visor, retained) latest; on the risky side overall. |
8/1 |
