3rd 2 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Back to his best this year, winning three times from the front, latterly from the same stall over C&D in July; did it easily that day but finds himself 9lb higher as a result, which will test him back from a couple of months off. |
4/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Made all twice in a row this spring (including over C&D on good to firm) and bounced back from his third of six at Yarmouth for another front-running win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last Monday; had plenty in hand last time and he's 5lb well in under a 5lb penalty; could prove tough to catch. |
6/5 |

1st 3 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has won on the AW but off a much lower mark and all his best efforts have come on turf, including two wins in the spring; looked like the handicapper may have caught up again when third to Michaela's Boy last time and he's drawn wide today. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Consistent since returning from 18 months off; easy to argue he's happier on the AW than turf, so he's at least entitled to close the gap on Michaela's Boy from Yarmouth on 5lb better terms; the hood comes off today. |
4/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promising 2yo; missed 2025 but he has shown he retains plenty of ability with placed efforts at Wolverhampton (5f) and Kempton (6f) on his last two starts; promise in one run on fast turf; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole success came at Chelmsford AW in August 2024 and missed all of last year; showed he was on the way back when runner-up to an improver at Wolverhampton (5f) last month; steps up in trip and should run well. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Just 1-19 but 2lb below his winning mark and drops into Class 6 company for the first time; worth a second look especially if attracting support; blinkers removed after one use. |
9/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just the one win to his name from 18 attempts but it came off this mark; poor run at Epsom two weeks ago but that was 6f and today's trip should be more suitable; the addition of blinkers could give him the necessary lift. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
String of short-priced defeats this year, often for Oisin Murphy; no question he's fairly handicapped back on the AW (goes well here) but he's become something of a professional loser. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking his first win of the year but he has run some good races, including a second of seven at Sandown on penultimate start; Ryan Moore booked but others may have this 6yo's measure. |
11/2 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Second to Jenever over C&D last October but held by that rival at the revised weights; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he's capable of a prominent showing. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
First crack at shy of 6f when well held at Brighton (5.3f) last time; still only has a Tapeta maiden win to his name and has had his moments at the stalls; another furlong would have looked optimal round here. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
His sole success from 12 attempts came in a small-field 6f AW maiden last March; plenty of solid runs in handicaps (turf and AW) since and belatedly dropping to 5f, albeit an extended one, could give him a lift. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner last year, twice on soft ground, who's proved tough to place this season; better effort last time but will need to better that on her AW debut. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won three times as a 2yo (5f and 6f, soft and good to firm) but not so good in three runs this year. |

5th 2 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won three times as a 2yo (5f and 6f, soft and good to firm); not so good in two runs this time around but this represents a drop in class and going back over 5f should be fine. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner in Ireland (5f/6f) but 0-4 for this yard; never featured following a slow start at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month, but he's down to a career-low mark and is one to keep an eye on in the betting now dropping class. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Straightforward gelding who's fine on any surface and generally consistent; there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, and Kylian may be his trainer's best chance. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins and a close second to his name in five runs over C&D; weighted to his best currently, following a Yarmouth win off 3lb lower in June, and Kylian may be his trainer's best shout. |
