31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well held at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time, but finished first and second over 1m here in his two starts prior to that; the win came on soft ground, but he is now 5lb higher so will need to find a bit extra. |
8/1 |

9th 2 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
First and second in his last two starts on varying ground at Chepstow (1m) under regular rider Zoe Lewis, but there has to be a doubt over the suitability of a fast 7f like this back on the AW. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First six wins came on the AW, but he gained his first success on turf in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (soft) under Zoe Lewis (who knows him well) last month; drops to this level for the first time, but fast ground is a big question mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won 8.6f classified here in July and was second in that grade under a penalty at Lingfield (1m) a few days later; evidently in good nick but has a bit more on his plate in this handicap and is not sure to be suited by the drop back in trip. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Chepstow (1m) before getting off the mark (13th attempt) in a classified event at Wolverhampton last Tuesday; pulled 5l clear with his main market rival in that race and he hit a personal best with that brave success; key player. |
13/8 |

1st 4 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

0-12 but he hit the frame twice in similar races over C&D in March; better form when beaten a neck into second at Chepstow (1m, soft) last month; set to go well once again. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Won at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last month and ran with credit when third of six at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days later; ideally needs further than this now and has it to do from 5lb out of the weights. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Added to his Ripon win last summer when justifying favouritism with a comfortable success at Ffos Las (1m2f, good; 2-1) last Monday; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher and he has form figures of 33511 at this trip; key player. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can win a race and the ground was soft when beaten a shade under 4l in a 1m handicap at Chepstow most recently (first-time tongue-tie); thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden but has shown he can find a race; best effort was when beaten a nose at Kempton (1m, AW) in January and if can replicate that form on turf then he comes into the equation; has left Pat Phelan since his last run in March; sports a first-time tongue-tie and has to be of interest for new yard. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden but he finished well to go very close over C&D (11-2) in January; only 1lb higher after a short break and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

On a losing run but consistent in the main and was a close fourth in a 1m2f classified here last week; must have some sort of chance. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Needs to rebound from a poor handicap run here nine days ago but is generally very consistent; came second in similar race to this over C&D (good) in June and probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Admirably consistent 7yo who chased home Angel's Call in 7.3f classified race here in June and was third over C&D in that grade a fortnight ago; probably in the mix again. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on fast and soft ground and she's effective at up to 1m; just one win from 27 starts but that came at this track (6f, good to firm) in June and she was runner-up here on her penultimate run; could be in the mix back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
4th 9 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in June (drop to 6f helped) off 5lb lower, who finished best of the rest, and just ahead of stablemate Some Nightmare, behind Arnaz here nine days ago; will do well to turn that round on the same terms. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Always prominent when belatedly off the mark over C&D in June and probably performed to a similar level when beaten 2l off this figure at Leicester; after steering clear of 6f for so much of her career, it's now looking a good fit. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 and nothing like the force of old but placed in this grade on last three appearances; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f last time; ought to be right in the thick of things. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 1m on the AW, but neck defeats at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) and at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) in her last two starts suggest this trip should be within range on a sharp track; high on list. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Safely held on all three starts since returning from nine-month absence in June and remains without a win since 2022; stable's other runner Nammos has less to prove. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (8) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Winless since 2022 and nothing like as good now; failed to build significantly on reappearance when sixth of ten over 1m at Chepstow (good) last month and the losing run seems likely to continue |
10/1 |

6th 6 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Winless since 2022 and nothing like as good now; entitled to have needed his C&D comeback at his age nine days ago after a lengthy layoff but finished well held. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo who gained sole career win in spring 2024; down the field on both starts for new stable in June, the latter over C&D, and needs to turn things around; blinkers removed; tongue-tie added. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (11) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Only win came in March 2024 when trained in Ireland; has lost his way this year and finished last on stable debut despite going off favourite. |
20/1 |

9th 7 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole success came in March 2024 when trained by Kieran Cotter in Ireland; has lost his way this year and makes his British/stable debut; probably best watched for now. |
