3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won two five-runner races over 1m4f on good to firm in July, since which it's looked as if the handicapper has had his measure; still managed second on last two outings and although he needs to find a bit extra, it's possible that he's now ready for this first venture much beyond 1m4f. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Tries hard enough but handicapped about right and came up short off this mark in a small field at Newmarket (1m4f); this looks more demanding. |

2nd 3 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
3yo who completed a double when landing a Class 4 handicap over C&D last month; well held in two quick-fire runs at Glorious Goodwood but he's back in calmer waters now and is a player if he can get back near best; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
He's been running well in defeat this summer, bumping into a very unexposed Godolphin winner when 7l second of five under Sorin Moldoveanu on the other Newmarket course (1m4f, good to firm) last month; close third in this last year and there is every chance that he will be in the mix. |

2nd 6 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner last July and he's finished close up back at this track (1m4f, good to firm) in his last two starts; didn't get much luck when fourth in a Class 3 event last time and he's a player off unchanged mark. |
6/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Often ridden by claimer Alexandra Egan, including when he won a four-runner C&D race (good to firm) last July off the same mark as today; creditable second on last two outings (C&D latest) suggest he will be bang there. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won a Lingfield novice (11.6f) in June and scored in commanding style at Windsor (11.4f; second run in cheekpieces) in August; ran well again at Ascot (1m4f) on latest start but may have to find a bit more if he's to make this a successful AW debut. |

5th 8 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained reward for a host of consistent efforts when bagging Lingfield novice (good) in June; subsequently been getting the hang of handicaps and he made the breakthrough in that sphere with a commanding win at Windsor (also 11.5f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) last Monday; 7lb rise could have been worse and he's not one to take lightly despite the rise in grade. |
16/1 |

1st 7 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Landed 11.5f novice at Lingfield in June; ran well in first-time cheekpieces when second of nine in 1m2f handicap at Chester 22 days ago; can race off a 1lb lower mark here so bold showing is on the cards in retained headgear. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win (12 races) came in a 1m2f handicap in April 2025; made a respectable debut for new yard this April but took a backward step next time; she's now 6lb below her peak mark and moves back up from 1m2f, having been below form once each over 1m3f and 1m4f last term; stamina in the family, though. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 1m2f handicap at Wetherby last April but found life tougher afterwards (highly tried); left William Knight prior to her Yarmouth reappearance, a race where she shaped as though the run would bring her on; better expected this time. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Galloped on strongly when winning one of just two 1m2f handicaps for William Knight, at Wetherby (good to firm) last spring but later forays into Listed company didn't go well and nor did the return to handicaps on final two starts last year; still of interest back on turf for new yard. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
In winning form on the AW at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in the winter but failed to beat a rival on his return from five months in 1m4f handicap at Newmarket last month; has something to prove now. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins over 1m4f, the last three on Tapeta; not seen since a career best to win at Wolverhampton in January and he's 4lb higher here; twice runner-up on turf last year; may need to hit a new turf high but he requires a second look given this small field. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Triple 1m4f winner, including on Tapeta; handicapper has just had his measure since his last win but he's gone very close several times, the latest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack); up 1lb; respected. |
