1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has gained most wins at Epsom, including in Class 4 on penultimate start; disappointing dropped back in grade at Goodwood latest; may rebound but others are more appealing in this scenario. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Incurs 5lb penalty but bids to strike while the iron's hot, having scored at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last week, taking record for current yard to 2-7; enters calculations. |
7/2 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Running well this year, including a 1m2f win at Windsor (good to firm), but he wouldn't look to have much in hand off his mark; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

3rd 1 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has form figures of 14323112253 since Boxing Day and that latest third was a good effort from a wide draw at Wolverhampton; still looks on a workable mark and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf; yard also runs Palazzo Persico. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both AW wins have been at this track, one over today's distance; has shot up the weights since as a result of further success on turf; in good order at present, however, and shouldn't be far away. |
4/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his second success for this yard when winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March and followed up at Bath (1m, good to soft) next time; runner-up in both starts since (1m2f) but this consistent sort still needs to prove he stays this far. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made the frame on first three turf starts this season but has not been in the same form since and this 8yo is nothing like the force of old; first AW run since 2024; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (10) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up over this C&D in June; shaped better than the bare result at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) next time and didn't get home there last time over 11.5f after kicking clear; now 14lb below his last winning mark and he'll appreciate this drop back in trip. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest defeat when sent off favourite here (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago wasn't quite as bad as it looks, but his losing run is now up to 20 and his best form has come over shorter. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins came at Nottingham (1m2f) in July last year, but has been unplaced in all ten outings since despite a declining mark; down another 2lb and headgear is removed, but probably best watched for now. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won two in a row at Nottingham (1m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; out of sorts this term but this sort of trip (attempted just the twice, ran well once) could be something to clutch at, as well as another career-low mark. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two in a row at Nottingham (1m2f, good/good to soft) last summer but she's been out of sorts this season and failed to beat a rival at Nottingham last time; now 8lb lower than for her last success but she needs to turn things around. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Managed only fifth of eight when upped to 1m2f at Windsor (good to firm) two months ago and remains without a win since 2023; continues to edge down the weights but needs to turn a corner. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Continues to edge down the weights, but losing run is up to 19 and the application of a tongue-tie made little difference last time; something to prove on his first attempt over this far. |
11/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran just four times last season and was runner-up on three occasions (7f/1m, various ground); down the field on reappearance at Kempton (1m, AW) four weeks ago but may have needed that outing and it will be no surprise if he's in the mix; a tongue-tie is added. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Six-time turf winner who went close at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in July but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in his last two runs; has bit to prove again and he needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ran well for second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; failed to back it up when third of four at Newbury a fortnight ago; Simon Walker booked but others are more appealing for the win. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner; ran his best race of the season when narrowly pipped at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; 1lb rise is manageable but a tactical race wouldn't play to his strengths. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins, one here over 1m2f; stamina not entirely proven for this far but could go well as she got going too late last time at Epsom after suffering early interference. |
4/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 1m2f winner in this month last year, latterly off mark 4lb higher than today's; yet to strike form after three starts this season but was unlucky to be brought down on second occasion, and her subsequent third of five at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) was respectable; dangerous if back in the groove. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice last August, at Brighton (1m2f, good) and Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm); below her best on her next three outings and she was brought down at Brighton last month; unproven over this trip. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Suited by this C&D and on a good mark but was out of form for Tony Carroll when last seen in the summer; subsequently rejoined Barry Brennan for 2,600gns; cheekpieces are removed; revival needed. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Didn't run badly when fourth of nine in an apprentice handicap at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) on his penultimate start, but is just 1-26 and most of his best form has come on the AW. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sole success came over 1m4f here (for Barry Brennan) in March 2024; in decent nick for his current yard, staying on into fourth of nine at Newbury (1m3f) 15 days ago so not ruled out back up in trip. |

Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |

Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |
