24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
First turf win when a neck victor over C&D earlier this month (good) and might have followed up off this 3lb higher mark had he not been carried left late on at Windsor; 2lb higher in future; player. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Sandown (1m, good) last time, registering a first success on turf; back up 3lb but remains well treated on the pick of his AW form; gained his other wins back-to-back. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Has broadly respectable form since returned to turf, notably a good effort behind Dovey Moon; however, still may be more interesting when back on Chelmsford AW; 2-2 there compared to 0-18 elsewhere. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Down the field in her sole 2yo run, but she has form figures of 22212 this season; did best of the rest behind a handicap blot over 7f here last time and she's only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip (her win was over 8.3f); shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up on first three starts this year, including 1m course handicap debut (Ascending Star third), before taking advantage of a good opportunity in a novice at Nottingham (extended 1m, good to firm; made all) 19 days ago; ought to be fine back at 7f; likely to go well again. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful yard debut in Lingfield novice (7f, good) in May and fair form in third, just behind a subsequent winner, when upped to 1m on handicap debut at Sandown after; no improvement back at 7f with more patient tactics there since but he should stay 1m round here; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Gelded prior to making all and turning over a 1-5 shot in novice event at Lingfield (7.5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut; shaped as if possibly just stretched by 1m when third (Thursday Girl second) on course handicap debut (good) five weeks ago; the drop to 7f looks ideal and he's taken to get the better of Ed Walker's charge this time. |
11/4 |

3rd 8 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Gelded prior to making all and turning over a 1-5 shot in novice event at Lingfield (7.5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut; may build on that win and improve further, having raced only three times; interesting handicap debutant. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |

Has won a couple of Class 4s this year but looks vulnerable in a race of this nature, especially after a tepid last run. |

7th 10 (8) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Hindered by a shortage of room at Brighton last time; has won at Goodwood and Newmarket this summer but faces a stiffer task off current mark upped in class. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Showed career-best form when leading close home at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month and has now won under Oliver Carmichael on two of his last three outings; ought to cope with the undulations here and can make his presence felt again. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended a long losing run at Sandown (1m2f) in August but came in a well-held tenth of 14 in 1m4f handicap at Epsom 19 days ago; needs to get back on track. |
8/1 |
|
10th 5 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ended a three-year drought when winning a 1m2f handicap at Sandown (good to firm) this month; Listed winner (1m2f, soft) here earlier in his career and ran well over C&D last month; one to consider. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Second in two 1m handicaps (same mark; good to firm) and latest run forgiven as that was over 1m2f and in a first-time hood that's soon dispensed with; respected. |
20/1 |
|
11th 3 (3) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he has finished second in 1m handicaps (good to firm) on his last two starts; has to prove his stamina but he will be a threat to all if he sees it out. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came in a Nottingham maiden in 2024 when trained by David Evans; switched yards this year and best run since when runner-up at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; Billy Loughnane rides for the first time and he should be thereabouts. |

10st 0lb |
Career-best effort when making all up the rail at Lingfield (7f, good) in June; not so good since and his five runs on ground slower than good have seen him finish unplaced. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Returned from a break with an all-the-way win under James Glennon at Lingfield (7f, good) in June and he's fine at 1m; however, he's finished merely seventh on his last two starts and has to raise his game. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (11) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Eight-time winner (7f/1m) at a lower level, including when he comfortably made all at Lingfield (7f, good) at the start of last month; 50-1 when he made no impact in this grade at Sandown three weeks ago, however. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Generally disappointing since winning off 4lb higher on AW in February but was denied a clear run when midfield in competitive Haydock handicap (1m, good) three weeks ago and enters calculations in this lower grade. |
7/1 |
|
6th 14 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Unplaced last five starts, not really finishing his races; carries obvious risks but his three turf wins came over 1m on good to firm ground and he now returns after a wind operation; he's well handicapped if the surgery has had a positive effect. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

7th 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet recaptured form for new connections this year but he's on a useful mark now, 12lb lower than a Haydock win (1m, good) last September; needs to show more than of late, even so. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Haydock (1m, good) last September but he's struggled for new yard this season and was a well-held fourth of five at Leicester last time; has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Somewhat mixed this year but he ran two good races at Sandown in midsummer (1m, good to firm) when the visor was discarded, putting up stout resistance against Marsh Benham in July; not so good since but he's weighted to reverse those placings if he's on his game. |
14/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

5/1 |

7th 6 (6) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came at Vichy (7f, very soft) when trained in France; has returned to form since having the headgear removed, finishing runner-up at Sandown (1m, good to firm) on two occasions, including when narrowly ahead of Great Blasket last time; makes the shortlist. |
