11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Her five races this season yielded three wins and two seconds, including when raising her game again with step up to 1m4f on good/good to soft for last three starts; keeps creeping up the weights but needs major respect. |
6/1 |

2nd 9 (14) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In-form mare who is bidding for her fourth win this season, the third coming at Ripon last time when beating Spioradalta (now 4lb better off) by 1.5l; stays this trip well; on a career-high mark but the race should be run to suit her and she has a good chance. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
5yo mare whose form has gone to a new level this season, with wins at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) and Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) sandwiching a runner-up finish at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm); she may be the type who only just does enough and therefore she could have more still left in the tank. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Looked less than straightforward but ultimately responded well to change of headgear when winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) most recently, taking record to 3-16; enters calculations in the retained blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ideally suited by good or slower ground and he's very effective on heavy; won at Doncaster in March (1m2f) and had a near miss at Goodwood in June but his form nosedived at Epsom 11 days ago; has bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back in new headgear. |
12/1 |
|
12th 10 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Not at his best last time but on the up previously and neither trip nor ground will be a concern; each-way shout. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't jump well when a disappointing favourite at Fakenham (2m, good) last October on sole previous hurdle start; however, he's shown useful form when winning three times on the Flat this year and will be a serious force if able to transfer that ability to this code; trainer won this last year. |
15/8 |

3rd 2 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this season (1m4f-1m6f); bounced back from poor AW run when close second to Arqoob here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and might still have a bigger performance in him over this longer trip; respected. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won easily at Chester (10.3f, good) last month and beaten just a neck at Ayr (1m2f, good) six days later; heavy ground excuses his subsequent defeat at Beverley; he's climbed the weights and it's possible that 1m4f may just stretch him, but there lots to like otherwise and Harry Cobden rides. |
6/1 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Given the ease with which he won at Chester (1m2f, good) it was disappointing that he came up short under a penalty at Ayr (good), though again he ran well; he's up 4lb here and they claimed 3lb last time, so has more on at these weights; he could improve for this softer surface, though. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Continued his progress when drawing clear at Chester (10.5f, good) last Sunday; this is more competitive under a 5lb penalty but Ryan Kavanagh claims 3lb and this one has an obvious chance of following up. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Spent nearly all of his long career with Ed Dunlop but lost his form in 2025 and has not staged a recovery in his two starts for new yard this term; well down the weights but others are more persuasive. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Having dropped down the weights she returned to form with a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) a fortnight; this course winner is fine at today's trip and can be in the shake-up if backing up that latest effort. |
9/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Three-time AW winner but has lost her way since a good run at Chester in May and others have more going for them. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Ages since he last won but has run well now and again during his losing streak and might be happier getting back on the grass; cheekpieces belatedly tried for the first time. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since May 2023 but he reappeared from five months off the track with a good third of five in 2m Southwell handicap 18 days ago; not out of things on his Polytrack debut eased 1lb. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |

Winless since 2023 and he signed off for last term with a below-par 14th in November Handicap at Doncaster in November; yard is going well though so no forlorn hope off a reduced mark. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won on the Kempton AW in May and placed there over 1m4f and 2m on his last two outings, with two of those under Jack Dace; chief concern is that his turf form (five races, only one this season) is at a lower level. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May and bounced back from a lesser run on turf when third here over 1m4f last time, form that has since been franked by the winner; stamina is a concern on his first try at 2m. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 10 (12) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Held on to beat Dust Cover by a nose here over 1m3f on his stable debut in May before a disappointing run at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft), taking his record on turf to 0-5; could bounce back returned to this surface. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well treated on his old form for the Johnstons but he returned after a mammoth absence last month and has been tailed off at big prices in both runs (1m4f/2m) for current yard; lots to prove. |
66/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Quite useful on the Flat up to 1m4f for the Johnstons and later won twice over hurdles for Gary Moore; always in rear on return from a lengthy absence on stable debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) 13 days ago; best watched for now. |
40/1 |

9th 5 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Quite useful on Flat up to 1m4f for the Johnstons and later won twice over hurdles for Gary Moore; however, it's difficult to know what to expect after such a mammoth spell on the sidelines. |
