24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific turf winner who scored at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at Sandown last time; has something to prove again and he's 0-7 on AW; visor removed. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to winning form at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June and his subsequent third of six at Lingfield (5f) was perfectly respectable given he is 0-7 on the AW; handles soft ground well and should play a part if things pan out from the rails draw. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a two-year losing run with a hard-fought success at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June; 3lb higher on a first AW outing since April 2024; others appeal more. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run and added to a patchy record this season when beating one in 6f Southwell handicap 12 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |
|
10th 7 (7) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Winless this season and he's twice failed to build on a good second at Ffos Las (5f) in June; more is required if he's to gain a first success since January 2024. |
14/1 |

5th 3 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All six wins, three on AW, have been over 6f; best run this season was when second over 5f at Ffos Las last month (good); chance on that run but this faster going not sure to suit. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three AW wins in the second half of last year but she's 0-8 on turf; last two efforts on grass were respectable, however, including when third of nine over C&D (good) 19 days ago; taken out on account of soft ground here on Friday and her prospects would be boosted by drying conditions. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to add to her three 6f AW wins last backend but she's run several good races this year, including when third at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June; returns after a short break but she's respected with Rossa Ryan booked. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins have been at this track, one over today's distance; has been running well all year without being able to add to his tally, latest when beaten a neck at Brighton (6f, good to firm); should not be far away. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 11 (7) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Front-runner; knocking at the door on turf this summer but he's 0-14 on the grass and he's unlikely to get his own way up front in this field. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Three-time AW who ran well from the front when second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) ten days ago; 0-13 on turf but remains 6lb lower than when second over C&D (firm) in May; could be hard to catch. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Very well handicapped on last summer's exploits but he's been a long way below that level this year and a major turnaround is needed. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 6f handicaps on good ground last summer when with Hugo Palmer; quiet in two runs for current yard (cheekpieces then a visor) and soft ground might not be what he wants. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |
