29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won a seven-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) in July, coming from last to challenge over 1f out; following second of three runners was only a week later; back from a break and could still have more to offer. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close call on debut (5f) last May was easily best effort until he won a seven-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) last Saturday, coming from last to challenge over 1f out; they were his only two races on good to firm; tongue tied last two starts; back up 3lb but has a shout in this small field. |

9st 7lb |
Went close on Salisbury debut (5f, good to firm) last May but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; still early days but he was out the back on handicap debut at Windsor (11-1) last month and others are preferred. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Recent form-figures look unappealing but he's probably in better heart than they suggest, ending up with too much to do at Ripon last week; successful on only previous start at Redcar, much earlier in career, and he's now 6lb lower than when winning at Thirsk in the spring; no forlorn hope. |
12/1 |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark for 2026 at Thirsk (5f) in May and has proved reliable since; had usual headgear left off when well held at Beverley (5f) ten days ago and no surprise to see him bounce back in refitted cheekpieces. |
40/1 |

16th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored at Thirsk (6f) in May and largely in good form since, coming home third in his group when midfield in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) last time; can make his presence felt off a 2lb lower mark for yard that has taken past two runnings. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest strike-rate but his handicap wins have come on his last two starts, over 5f on Wolverhampton AW and at Bath, when taking advantage of a drop in the weights and the refitting of blinkers; still on a fair mark on past 6f form and bold bid likely on course debut. |
2/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
With blinkers belatedly back on he finished off best over 5f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago when they didn't hang about up front; fair shout off 4lb higher should he be as good again. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (2) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-29, that win in a 5f Chelmsford novice (for Olly Murphy) back in February 2024; third at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in July but his efforts either side of that don't instill confidence; notable Billy Loughnane is booked. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Sole win was in a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) a year ago, but he's had some close calls this season including over C&D on his penultimate run; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |
11/2 |

4th 1 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Chelmsford novice (7f, Polytrack) a year ago and has twice gone close in handicaps since returning in March, the latest when beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded) 16 days ago; up 2lb but still high on list. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Newly gelded; had excuses with one thing and another this year; this mark looks within range and there are positives back on the AW, and under Oisin Murphy, who boasts a decent record for the yard; shortlisted. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning seasonal debut over C&D in April; the handicapper has been in command since and the fitting of blinkers didn't help at Newcastle 12 days ago; headgear left off this time and she now drops into her first Class 6 handicap; could bounce back to her best. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Southwell maiden winner in the spring who's finished well held in handicaps since, latterly over 1m; given a try in first-time headgear now back sprinting for a yard also responsible for Persian Spirit. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Reappeared with a win in a maiden here (6f) in April but she's been well held in three handicaps since; still has low mileage but she needs to find more at this new trip. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
The addition of a tongue-tie saw him return to winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June; the tongue-tie was left off on last month's stable debut and he ran creditably in fifth at Southwell; this may prove too competitive. |
16/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 3-4 on Tapeta when winning off 4lb lower early last month; a poor effort on turf a few weeks ago will need forgiving but he's the type to respond positively to a change of yard and the headgear coming off, so holds possibilities. |
20/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Triple turf winner who made it 3-5 on AW when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f; tongue-tie added) last month; ran another good race when a close second at Ripon (6f, good) last time and he's respected off only 1lb higher. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour. |
12/1 |

8th 10 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (turf) a fortnight ago; that came in a far less-competitive handicap off 2lb lower against her own sex, and she'll find this rather tougher. |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Ripon maiden (5f, good) last June; highly tried in Listed events in final two juvenile runs but she's not threatened in five handicaps for new yard this season; mark continues to fall but she struggled at Nottingham last time and others are preferred. |
