4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A tongue-tie was added to cheekpieces when off the mark for this yard, getting up late at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) in July; weak in the market under a penalty when beaten 5l in amateur riders' event over C&D (good) the following week; combination of this trip and slow ground will be new to him. |

11st 3lb |
Ex-Ian Williams; first win for current yard with first-time tongue-tie at Epsom last week (1m4f, good to firm), quickening up well after not getting best of runs; could go well with a 4lb penalty although below par two previous runs at 1m6f. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Ian Williams with below-par AW run in the autumn and finished last on both turf starts for new stable this year; on good mark now but needs first-time tongue-tie to aid a return to form. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Scored at Bath in May and was one of two to pull clear of the others when close second of four off today's mark at Nottingham (also 1m6f, good to firm) last month; didn't fire on latest outing but this drop back in trip won't be a problem if he's back on song. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D last December and again on her reappearance in April; lost her way afterwards, but her third of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago was more encouraging; back off her last winning mark and respected. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when beginning this season with 1m4f AW win in April but looked out of sorts on last two outings; swapped usual cheekpieces for new visor last time; goes without any headgear today. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Battled well to win apprentice jockeys' race from the front at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on Friday and is now 3-4 for George Baker; escapes a penalty here and will be fine over the longer trip; makes obvious appeal. |
8/13 |

1st 3 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hit the ground running for George Baker with 1m4f/1m3f wins on the AW and was close up at Epsom despite stumbling at the start; that was no backward step and he should be thereabouts. |
5/2 |

4th 2 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Strong in the market when he made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (1m4f) and he followed up off 3lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, also AW) three weeks ago; handicapper reacted by dishing out a career-high mark but this locally trained gelding is a C&D winner who needs considering in current mood. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock on Flat return at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May but was safely held on both subsequent outings and is far too inconsistent to support with confidence; had recent wind op. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
66-1 winner on his first Flat start since 2024 when making most to win off 2lb lower in a small field at Salisbury last month; back to his inconsistent self when tailed off at Chepstow next time and it will likely depend on what sort of mood he's in. |
8/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
This year's hurdling form is uninspiring but he held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock at Salisbury a fortnight ago, his first Flat run since 2024; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood again here but he's only 2lb higher and this is a slight drop in grade. |
