9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Career win number three when prevailing narrowly at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) but he has a patchy profile and beat only one home at Newmarket subsequently; he does have a competitive run in him, however. |
8/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's won two of his last four starts including a last-gasp success at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; only 2lb higher here and he's a big player again if he can back that up. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Resumed from a layoff in good nick, her stamina carrying the day over 1m on comeback before a solid effort off her revised mark over C&D last time; one to consider under Billy Loughnane in first-time headgear. |
5/1 |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but just did enough to cause 22-1 surprise on recent seasonal debut at Salisbury (1m, good to firm; front pair clear), and could be seen to even better effect now back up in trip. |
8/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-15 under all codes and absent since well-held fourth over hurdles in October; will probably find this trip too sharp; best to look elsewhere. |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Made all with cheekpieces added in a Brighton handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in June, but she's not matched that form in three subsequent runs; record is now 1-10 and needs to raise her game in first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all over 1m2f at Brighton (good to firm) in June but that was in first-time cheekpieces and she's not kicked on. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Benefited from combination of step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces when making all over C&D (good to firm) in June, her seventh start; open to further progress but needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Leicester last month. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who completed a quickfire double last autumn but is 0-13 since and his second-place finish in June has not been backed up, kept to Brighton since; opposed. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Long in the tooth now and not firing on all cylinders this season but, from a reduced mark, ran well in defeat over C&D (good to firm) in June; had excuse (lame) when below form here last month; big player if all goes to plan this time. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has yet to score this year but is getting close, finishing second of eight over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday; 8lb lower than for his two wins last autumn. |
