13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Dual hurdle and dual Flat winner this year; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but his recent defeat on soft ground is excusable; enters each-way calculations. |
16/1 |

6th 10 (11) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
More wins this year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat (about 1m4f, good), but perhaps found out by a career-high mark at Ascot and Lingfield (back at 1m6f, good to firm) since; probably has work to do again. |
16/1 |

4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Having a fine year with success over hurdles and on the Flat (1m4f; stays this far), while latest fourth at Ascot was very respectable; solid claims. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time Flat scorer at around 1m2f in 2025; also successful over hurdles at Uttoxeter in May and back in good form in this sphere, when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here a week ago; very much one to consider. |
15/2 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles in May; runner-up over C&D in June but only sixth behind Nibras Gold the following month; could still go well, having finished second in a division of this last year. |
8/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Productive on Flat and over hurdles since early last summer; creditable second, one place in front of L'Eagle Aid who admittedly came from a poorer position, over C&D most recently; major contender. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Went back-to-back last summer (about 1m4f, AW/good) but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; soft ground provides a possible excuse at Beverley last time but others are still preferred. |
6/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Went back-to-back last summer (about 1m4f, AW/good) and he's been beaten 3l or less on his last four starts, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) four weeks ago; soft ground would be an unknown but he's below his last winning mark and drops back down in grade. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
One of three wins came over C&D in July of last year (promoted after dead-heating); solid runs in his last three races, two at Chester; tactically versatile and should be in the mix; first-time headgear. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Won this race under Eireann Cagney last year (good ground); 7lb higher this time around but was placed off today's mark in 18-runner York handicap (10.2f, good) in June; bold defence likely. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has won four of his 17 turf races at up to 1m2f; respectable 2.75l third of 18 at York last time (1m2.5f good); interesting, although pulled hard and didn't seem to get home on only previous try at 1m4f. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ex-Irish; eight-race maiden; hasn't run to his best on the AW for Phil Kirby, but may fare better back on turf. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who finished runner-up in two of his six starts on turf in Ireland last summer (both over this trip), but failed to beat a rival on stable debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; something to prove. |
13/2 |
|
10th 6 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Second at Killarney (1m6f) last summer in two of three Irish handicaps for John Joseph Murphy, trying cheekpieces when short-headed on latest outing (good); off 210 days but this lightly raced AW newcomer needs a second look. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Gained all four wins on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) but posted good effort when staying-on third behind Curran over C&D (good) in June and is largely consistent; probably won't be far away. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In form having made the frame in most starts this term, close fourth over C&D on penultimate; has never won away from Wolverhampton but can't be dismissed off current mark. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Two course wins over further; won a Goodwood handicap (1m1f, good to soft) in June off this mark; not so good since but a revival would be no surprise. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has competitive course form, including a respectable fourth over the extended 7f in June; this is more his trip but he needs to bounce back from two forgettable runs at 1m4f (here) and 9.4f (AW). |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in Lingfield maiden (1m2f, soft) in June, his fourth start, but all three subsequent handicap runs were very disappointing; hood removed after one use; leap of faith required to support him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Entered handicaps on the back of breakthrough win but has twice failed to beat a rival; could do with settling better and the fitting of headgear (hood) might help with that; trainer also runs Lord Mayor. |
16/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Steady improvement first four starts, winning Lingfield maiden (1m2f, soft) in June; didn't give his running when last of eight on handicap debut at Chester six weeks ago, but he's in good hands and may well bounce back. |
