8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Successful three times this term and looked better than the bare result (met late traffic issues) in C&D event most recently; only 1lb above last winning mark; could go well. |
10/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins (1m-1m4f) in the first half of 2026; last month's Ascot third was up there with her best form but she wasn't quite at the same level back down in class at Chepstow three weeks ago; drops back in trip with each-way claims. |

Turf wins this season at Bath (1m), over C&D and Leicester (1m2f); ran well from off the pace at Ascot 12 days ago (1m4f); her good campaign could continue. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; never got involved at Ripon next time but was clear of the rest when narrowly denied by an improver at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 11 days ago; due to be 3lb higher in future but slow ground would be a concern. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last July who's never run on the AW off a mark quite this high (been in good form on turf lately, including a Nottingham win off 5lb lower); needs to find a bit more again. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) in May and he's continued the good work with placed efforts in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); still looks on a workable mark and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Placed on first start for this trainer at Southwell (1m; hooded) in April; hasn't kicked on since, but did emerge with a suitable excuse (lost both hind shoes) when a beaten 6-4 favourite at Nottingham (1m2f) latest; slowly easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Third at Leicester (good) last time was her most affirmative statement on turf or over 1m2f, as well as being recorded in a fairly well-stocked 0-70; not one for blind faith given her propensity to pull, but this does look an easier opportunity. |
5/2 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden; solid third of ten at Southwell (1m, AW; first-time hood) in April but she didn't see this trip out when behind Jack Sparowe here on her next start; again well held in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) over 1m at Kempton 17 days ago and others make more appeal. |

Off the mark in Haydock event (1m2f, good to soft) in May; unplaced favourite in sole start since but may still have more to offer at this trip in this grade; not written off. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four of her five wins have been on AW at Chelmsford and Lingfield over 1m2f; steps up in trip and needs to reproduce her best form on this track. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won four times (once over C&D) in 2025 and has gradually worked her way back to form this year; persistently denied a clear run when close fourth at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month and will be dangerous here if her luck improves. |
7/4 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive once handicapping over this trip last year, winning four from six (three on Polytrack), latterly off a 2lb lower mark; held in three runs this season but she wasn't beaten far at Lingfield last time and that was more like it; not ruled out. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, the latest coming at Bath (1m, good) in April off a 2lb lower mark; had an excuse when below his best at Thirsk and bounced back to form when third of seven behind Jack Sparowe at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 24 days ago; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained a first victory at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) last October and recorded a good second here in May; lightly raced since but nearest finish under a patient ride when seventh of 12 in 1m2f Ayr handicap last month; a player eased 1lb with underfoot conditions to suit. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won on soft ground in the autumn and ran big race in defeat on reappearance outing at Haydock (1m3f, good to soft) in the spring, but disappointed on his next outing (again raced too freely) and is not easy to predict. |
8/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 11 starts came in game fashion on soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) in October and he ran a fine race when runner-up behind Blue Wonder at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) on his reappearance 22 days ago, coming clear of the rest; on the shortlist. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Proven winner who's turned in two solid efforts for Tom Kiely-Marshall lately, backing up his Newcastle win off 5lb lower with a second on turf (again from the front); hard to discount him in current form. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ten career wins divided between turf and the AW; well on top last time at Newcastle under Tom Kiely-Marshall but back up 5lb and it's been over two years since he defied a mark in the 70s. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A modest 1m2f Flat scorer in April; 40-1, hinted at promise when fifth of nine in a novice at Worcester (2m, good) on hurdling debut in July; withdrawn after getting loose before start last time; wears first-time hood. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

A modest 1m2f Flat scorer in April; 40-1, hinted at promise with fifth of nine in novice over C&D on hurdling debut last month; can build on it here. |

5th 1 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Record of just 1-20 on Flat, the success in Class 6 handicap over 1m2f in April; form dipped last time; brings limited potential to this change of code. |
