22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
In good nick at present and landed his third win at Southwell (7f, AW) last month; 4lb higher but should continue to run well away from that track; claims. |
5/2 |
|
1st 14 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Effective over C&D but his two wins this year have come over 1m on this track; has remained in form on turf since the latest of them in April and he shouldn't be far away. |
5/1 |

3rd 7 (10) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Very competitive since he got a mark, with form figures of 2152213; return to turf proved no problem when fairly close third of ten at Yarmouth (1m, good) one month ago and he's threatening to take after his only sibling, who has proved relentlessly progressive for these connections; big player. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has won two of his last four races, with the latest at Lingfield (visor remover; 1m, AW) quite decisive at the finish; carries no penalty and he's 6lb well in; 0-9 on turf but effective on the surface. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Course winner over 7f three starts back off 9lb lower; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) when ridden by Jude Fernandes next time but blew his chance by hanging right over this C&D three days ago; visor is removed and he needs to bounce back. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Took advantage of a career-low mark when scoring here (7f) last month; a shade unlucky when beaten a short head at Southwell (7f, AW) since and should not be far away. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both AW wins at Newcastle (1m and 7f) but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in March; has had ups and downs since but he came from well back when fourth of ten to Gunfighter over C&D recently; place chance. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-time winner; yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance in March but ran quite well when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago and switches back to turf on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four AW wins on Polytrack, the latest more than four years ago, and he's likely to need more than a respectable sixth at Newcastle in May, when having a rare run on Tapeta, and also on his Chester form since; headgear returns for the first time since last July. |

Not beaten far into fifth of 13 in a better race at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) eight days ago and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race last year; interesting. |
7/2 |
|
5th 13 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runs; all three wins at 7f, the latest on Newcastle AW last August; probably found the return to 1m was pushing it on Kempton AW 15 days ago but he ran well for a long way and this test will work better for him. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in the spring; had a couple of wide draws to deal with since but has landed another here, which could leave him vulnerable late. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Prominent racer; made all at Southwell (1m) in April; some fair runs in defeat since but he could face competition for the lead and others are more appealing for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (12) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had 7f form in Ireland but that was two years ago and his course win came over 1m in April (made all) on second start for this yard; no advance on that form in two runs since but perhaps the return to this trip will improve his options. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Placed eight times on the AW, but now 0-16 and not at his best lately; takes another drop in grade, but this trip probably stretches him. |
9/1 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Returned from short break with two good 7f runs this spring; well handicapped if judged on those but his form has dipped since and he is yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 1m. |
12/1 |
|
8th 9 (13) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden after 14 starts; very slowly away two starts ago but otherwise has possibilities, having run most of his best races on Tapeta and was hampered in his run over C&D last time; may well be involved. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Sole success came in a 6f handicap here last November and he's now 1lb lower, but there's a suspicion that shorter trips suit him best. |

|
9th 12 (9) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Broke duck over 6f on Newcastle AW last November but he hasn't run to the same level at that trip or 7f this year; has it to prove at present. |

Five AW wins include two on this course (at 6f; has won over 7f) but he's been going through a quieter spell of late; others more likely. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |

Lightly raced since getting off the mark on Wolverhampton AW (about 1m1f) last June, dropping out there 16 days ago for another new yard; has plenty to prove in his first 7f handicap. |
33/1 |
|
11th 2 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (9.5f) last summer in his only run in a tongue tie; not beaten far into fourth at Kempton (1m) when last seen in February; sold out of Pat Phelan's yard for 1,000gns in March; new trainer brings the tongue tie back; not discounted. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Changed hands for 9,000gns after winning at Wolverhampton last summer (9.4f; left Kevin Philippart De Foy); low-key stable debut over 1m3f here in November (33-1) and this might not be enough of a test back from another break. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made it 0-11 for the year when down the field here (7f) a fortnight ago; however, he was in pretty good heart previously and his last win came over C&D last October; not written off. |
11/1 |
|
12th 10 (10) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two 6f wins on Tapeta in 2025 and he's had just three goes at this trip, all on turf; he didn't do badly when fourth on Carlisle's stiff track last time out so perhaps he's worth another shot at 7f, albeit his AW mark is 5lb higher than on turf. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (12) |
9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on AW; two good runs at Carlisle this summer, second in May and third on Saturday, but they were over 6f and his stamina for this trip is the obvious concern. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win was on AW in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been tailed off in two runs for new yard this summer and can only be watched; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
40/1 |
|
13th 11 (8) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came over 1m here in 2024; on a useful mark at present but has a question mark about current form, having dropped out on his final start for previous yard and on debut for this one, at Chester 13 days ago. |
40/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

1-20 for Julie Camacho, the win gained over 1m on Tapeta in September 2024; makes stable debut from workable mark and with trip/ground suitable but absent since two below-par AW runs in the winter. |
