12th 4 (9) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
No problem with soft ground and he returns to Class 5 after two defeats at a higher level; only 3lb higher than for his front-running win at Thirsk (6f, good) in June; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Returned to form when making all at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but he failed to back that up in a Silver Cup trial at Ayr last month; that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again. |
12/1 |
|
16th 17 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form at Thirsk (6f, good) last month, making all to win quite cosily, and is now 2-12; 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today but his other win was gained over C&D and he won't mind if there's rain about. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two runner-up finishes for his new yard prior to scrambling home in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago; 4lb rise not obviously generous but the new cheekpieces could help; promise on good to soft as a 2yo. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Started nurseries on an unrealistic mark for Richard Hannon but has found his level again now, narrowly being denied off 1lb lower last time (best of the group that started out racing near side at Nottingham); this half-brother to a C&D winner is shortlisted. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Newmarket novice (6f, good) last May, his third start, but beaten 11 times since including all four runs for John Butler; his penultimate second at Thirsk was a good run though and when down the field at York last time it was a Class 4; not out of it. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won an Ayr maiden (6f, good) and a C&D novice (good to firm) last August; some fair runs in handicaps this season, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten a long way with cheekpieces added at York last time; stablemate of Bleep Test. |
8/1 |
|
13th 14 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-8 in handicaps but he's started to knock on the door from this reduced mark with a pair of third-place finishes this month; this is a better race but newly applied cheekpieces might eke out more. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Up-and-down form since her Ripon win (6f, good to soft) in April; back to that winning mark now but easy enough to have reservations about. |
25/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been rather disappointing since winning off 1lb lower at Ripon in April (6f, good to soft), including in cheekpieces two runs ago (last of 13 at York); effective at 5f; easier ground suits. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have been at Ripon over 6f, the most recent on good to soft in April; reported to have bled from the nose when failing to beat a rival at York (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) last month and needs to bounce back. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Nine-race maiden; below form when only eighth at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) six weeks ago and still needs to prove himself on fast ground but has been given a good chance by the handicapper and this is his first run since last month's wind op. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win but he has finished second three times in novice/maiden company; cheekpieces have been worn for his three handicap runs and he has finished unplaced, albeit a bit of mid-race interference didn't help his cause over C&D four weeks ago; now drops into a 0-70 and could yet come good. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Down the field on his handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month but ran a bit better when fourth of 11 at Haydock (6f, soft) 15 days ago; better still needed. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Placed in one of his seven outings and finished midfield over this C&D in June; disappointed in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) at Ayr (7f, soft) in June and now returns to 6f having been dropped another 3lb. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Placed just once from six outings and his best efforts so far have come on the AW; below par at Thirsk two weeks ago; needs first-time cheekpieces to give him a lift. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-5 but runner-up in a novice at Newcastle (5f, AW) in November; midfield finish on handicap debut at Southwell (6f, AW) in April and ran to a similar level there (7f) four weeks ago; drops back in trip on this return to turf. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Newcastle (6f, AW) last December and he's been placed there in three of his last four runs including when runner-up over 5f last week; on same mark here but his best efforts have been on Tapeta and he's been well held in last four turf runs; some risks attached. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winner over 6f here in December; best runs since have been here, including neck second to Houndhill over C&D in May; a possible. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 6f nursery course nursery in December and also a close second over C&D last month (first run since being gelded); not so good on turf since but better can be expected back on AW. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has mixed record this season but won a match race in June and was seemingly aided by a first-time hood when very close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) a week ago; on the premises if in the right mood again. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained a first success at Leicester (1m) in June but has failed to kick on since, just seventh of ten in 1m Ayr handicap five days ago; hood is reached for now. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Beat a 1-9 shot in a match at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in June, but struggled at York next time before being well held at Beverley 13 days ago; record is now 1-8 and others are more convincing. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed three times in six starts for Richard Hannon including when second of 14 at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last October, but modest in five outings for this yard and now 0-11; others preferred. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Placed a few times for previous yard but looks far from solid on her form for current stable; best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is likely. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Close third on handicap debut at Nottingham last October (5f, soft); beaten more than 9l only AW start; bit to prove after below-par reappearance run in June. |
25/1 |

11th 12 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden but she posted a solid effort when third of nine on her handicap debut at Nottingham (5f, soft) in October; off since but should be suited by the step back up in trip. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
It has been a real struggle since joining this yard; he's now plummeting down the weights but still requires last month's wind operation to have made a substantial difference. |
25/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner on final 2yo start for previous yard; has achieved little in turf handicaps this term and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is likely; drops to Class 6. |
