29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Soft-ground specialist but it was good ground he won on when snapping a two-year losing sequence at Musselburgh (5f) one month ago; was found to have bled from the nose that day and subsequently gelded; up 2lb but his 2yo form would make him a good thing off this mark should that signal a resurgence. |

1st 3 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 2yo; it has been a struggle more recently but he is dropping down the weights and appeals as the type to come good soon; that may coincide with him tackling slower ground though. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Two wins over 5f on soft/heavy as a juvenile, the second a Listed event at Chantilly; hasn't won since and only seventh of nine on reappearance, but on a fair mark; could go well though stall 1 a slight negative. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Beat 16 rivals when scoring from off the pace at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) in April; three placed efforts since but he flopped when favourite at Musselburgh last time and that took his record to 1-16; comes with risks attached back up in trip. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Mainly in good form since winning over C&D in April (good to soft), last week finishing a neck second here (good, hood on for second time; Jer Batt 0.5l back in third); chance. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Often promised better as a 3yo; ran well over C&D on his reappearance in April and confirmed that promise by seeing off 16 rivals here eight days later; his progress has stalled more recently but it wouldn't be a great surprise to see him return to form back at Musselburgh. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
No win since August 2024; ran well for minor honours on his first three (of four) visits to Doncaster, a close third in this race last year; 8lb lower today but he's not been disgraced this year (repeatedly short of room last time) and makes each-way appeal. |
9/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Losing run continued when fifth of 11 over C&D (heavy; favourite) yesterday, beaten just under 2l; however, one of two handicap wins came over C&D (good; acts well on soft) and he has finished second and third in the last two runnings. |
11/2 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner who hasn't been out of the frame in five visits here; all four starts have been at Musselburgh this term, running creditably on two occasions; was a handful when he last raced off this mark back in 2023 and he ought to make his presence felt on ground that will be no issue. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made all to win a 5f handicap at Ayr in July; only fourth of five at Musselburgh later that month; has run well over C&D in the past and won't mind what the weather does; one to consider. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off 6lb higher; back to winning ways when seeing off ten rivals at Ayr (5f, good to firm; made all) 18 days ago; this is a higher grade but the horse he beat last time ran well at Goodwood on Tuesday; not ruled out. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won off an 11lb mark at Musselburgh last August (5f, good); hasn't run as well since and below-par over same C&D last time (good); dropped another 3lb so no surprise if he were to go well. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
In and out since he won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June but he ran well when second at Haydock (5f, heavy) nine days ago; bang there if he's once more on a going day. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 (11) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July having been hampered early; however, he finished last of five at Musselburgh next time and was down the field in an admittedly hot handicap at York a fortnight ago; has shown promise on soft, though. |
10/1 |
|
11th 16 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling. |
