17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful for previous yards; ran respectably on debut for current stable but has regressed at Southwell in two subsequent starts; hence a turnaround is required. |
12/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Left Michael Herrington for 12,000gns; bang there on yard debut over 7f at Newcastle and should be in the mix once more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual 7f winner in the spring who was picked up from Michael Herrington for 12,000gns a couple of months ago; have to go a long way back for the last time he won off a mark this high, while all victories have come after a recent start. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly in Class 6, including for 12 AW wins, the most recent in August; has remained in form on turf since; could go well but is no certainty to add to his tally, being 0-15 in Class 5. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prolific AW winner who is 2-25 on turf, most recently over this C&D in July 2024; creditable return to grass when second of 13 at Yarmouth (7f, good) 11 days ago but likely that more will be needed. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Kept on well to score at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month, his 14th career success; doesn't often run on turf nowadays, though, and current mark is his highest since 2023. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has done most of his AW racing on Wolverhampton Tapeta but he's run his two best races on Kempton Polytrack (7f), going close in February and breaking his duck last month; back up 4lb; a likely contender on course debut. |
7/2 |
|
1st 10 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent maiden who's 3lb lower than when beaten a neck over C&D in February; continued in form since, the last twice for an inexperienced 7lb claimer, and is one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
6th 15 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

0-16 (includes turf) but has gone close a couple of times on AW; wore this headgear combination when fourth at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) under Hope Regan three weeks ago. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Belied a big market drift to make a winning debut for new stable in Newcastle event (1m) last time, taking AW record to 4-19; back up only 2lb he remains well handicapped on peak form; enters calculations. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten favourite in most starts during his spell back with Jane Chapple-Hyam but the form is largely respectable; remains 6lb below last winning mark; stable debut. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Won three times over this trip on the AW in the first half of last year and has mainly been performing with credit of late, as when beaten half a length over C&D in May; holds claims. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just 1-30 on turf but he recorded his fourth AW win when forging clear at Wolverhampton (7f) 17 days ago; up 6lb but he remains well handicapped on old form and is a key player from good draw. |
3/1 |
|
1st 10 (3) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
On a lengthy losing run but scores good marks for his consistency this year; beaten only by a neck at Lingfield (7f) last month and also suited by this C&D; probably won't be far away. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 (11) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still off the same mark as when beaten a neck over C&D in April; losing run is up to 18, though, so others make greater appeal. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Getting on for two years since his sole success; runner-up over C&D in July but that has been followed by two lesser efforts; drawn widest and others look stronger. |
7/1 |
|
5th 9 (8) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1-19; has tumbled in the weights since joining this stable from Ireland and ran a solid race when runner-up behind Dannick here over 7f last time; latest effort can be forgiven (raced wide) but he isn't certain to appreciate the step back up in trip. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Tumbled down the weights since coming over from Ireland and has found his level now, finishing best of the rest behind a well-handicapped winner over C&D last time; 7lb claimer James Glennon has ridden a couple of winners this summer. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Not easy to win with but he has a C&D win on his record and he didn't run badly here on his penultimate start; usually worth taking on. |
10/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins from 23 starts include one here over 7f at April; left the impression he's still in form after missing the break here over 7f last week but he's been well beaten in two previous tries over 1m; stamina to prove. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Does a lot wrong in his races (often misses the break and/or pulls too hard) but he has two 7f AW wins to his name, including off this mark over C&D in April; others are more appealing this time. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Scored three times, for two yards, in the early part of 2026; not in the same form since, latterly for another new stable; revival needed. |
40/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (1m) in March on his first start for Laura Mongan; down the field in two outings for this stable, however, and others have stronger claims; hood on and cheekpieces discarded. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not won on turf since his Irish days and tends to stick to the AW now; ordinary debut for his new yard recently, having been picked up for 2,000gns, and isn't obviously fancied. |

9st 6lb |
Won twice at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in the spring but he's finished tenth of 12 on Polytrack in last two starts; may have needed his reappearance run last month but he's not easy to predict and others are more solid. |
33/1 |
|
10th 3 (12) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Vulnerable over 6f in midwinter for this yard and two wins since have come over 7f on Southwell AW; he never showed from a wide stall at Lingfield in June and has another high draw back at 6f following a break. |
25/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won two of last three at Southwell (7f) since these aids were fitted, a steady late surge taking him to the front close home 14 days ago; acts on Polytrack, too, but plenty needs to go right today from a wide draw. |

9st 1lb |
Signs of ability over 7f on Newcastle Tapeta but failed to stay 1m on handicap debut at Wetherby in April 2025; wasn't seen again until well beaten on Kempton AW (6f) in March for new yard, where he bled from the nose; best watched for now. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Displayed some promise for Jedd O'Keeffe over 7f/1m in the first part of last year, shaping as though he might be suited by sprinting; sold for £12,000 last May and makes stable debut after an absence, but it will be interesting to see how this very lightly raced 5yo goes in the betting. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

This son of Time Test cost 4,000gns as a yearling and is closely related to 1m/1m2f winner Zara's Return (RPR 82); dam French 1m AW winner; likely best watched on debut. |
