1st 3 (7) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Last three wins have been over 1m2f at Ayr, including in August (on good) when scoring for the first time in over two years; going down by just a neck at Haydock (soft) showed that he remains one for serious calculations. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (3) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Added to a good Ayr record when seeing off 12 rivals over 1m2f (good) 26 days ago; a 6lb rise demands more of him (yet to win above a mark of 70) but he'll handle today's ground and has a more solid recent profile than most. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner in 2024; run down late in refitted cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f) in June, and finished third (one place behind Mr Lincoln) over C&D next time; fast ground a plausible excuse for a lesser effort latest; runner-up in this last year. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Given the ease with which he won at Chester (1m2f, good) it was disappointing that he came up short under a penalty at Ayr (good), though again he ran well; he's up 4lb here and they claimed 3lb last time, so has more on at these weights; he could improve for this softer surface, though. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Continued his progress when drawing clear at Chester (10.5f, good) last Sunday; this is more competitive under a 5lb penalty but Ryan Kavanagh claims 3lb and this one has an obvious chance of following up. |
13/8 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-French 4yo who has raced seven times for Ian Williams and encouragingly the best of those efforts was his latest when beaten half a length from the back at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft); back up 2lb; unraced on firmer than good; fair chance provided conditions don't hold him back. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Found an ordinary Wolverhampton handicap when winning in first-time cheekpieces off 2lb lower two months ago; easy to back on turf last time, when running to a similar level, and today's extra furlong won't hurt on that evidence. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Produced a career best when winning in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) six weeks ago; that form perhaps isn't the strongest on offer but he's open to further improvement off a 2lb higher mark. |
8/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort when third of 11 on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good; first start since being gelded) last month; drop in trip may be no bad thing and cheekpieces are given a go; shortlisted. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored here (1m) in May and she's run some good races since including a close call at Hamilton (1m3f) in June; remains feasibly treated on that form but both wins have been on good to firm and she was well below form on soft ground at Haydock two weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Consistent in defeat since winning over 1m at Ayr (good to firm) in May but looks to be biting off more than she can chew from out of the handicap in this higher grade; has raced mainly on good or firmer and needs to prove she's fully effective on softer ground. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Consistent since winning by a nose over 1m (good to firm; off 5lb lower) in May but lacked the pace to figure when third to a progressive winner over C&D 12 days ago; others appear better handicapped. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record is only 1-14 but he's in a position to make matters better, having finished a close second at Ripon (1m2f, soft) most recently; has C&D form; enters calculations. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 13 came at Thirsk (7f, soft) last September; placed at Thirsk (7f) in April and Hamilton (1m1f) in June, before a slight dip in form; latest Ayr fifth (1m2f, beaten under 5l) respectable; 2lb lower, with claiming rider Shay Farmer booked, so isn't discounted. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
1-12; fair third over 1m1f at Hamilton three starts back but lesser efforts at York (1m6f and 1m) since; still 3lb above his winning mark and best form is at up to 1m1f; others more appealing. |

Won at Carlisle in June (1m1f, good to soft); good second on first try at 1m4f last time (soft); worth considering. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough when bagging Carlisle handicap (1m1f, good to soft) in June; not discredited off 5lb higher when sixth of 13 over 1m2f three weeks ago; same mark tackling a new trip and he's not fully exposed. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Left Harry Charlton for 18,000gns; a 4l win on yard debut at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) triggered this 10lb higher mark off which he struggled back there a month ago; might be high in the weights now. |
6/1 |
|
7th 11 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Left Harry Charlton for 18,000gns; made a striking winning stable debut over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago; hit with a 10lb rise but that form has been boosted twice since; massively respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (10) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Second of nine at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, after which he was sold out of Harry Charlton's stable for 18,000gns; should have more to offer over this trip; interesting. |

Below form on the Flat three weeks ago and now 0-13 since joining Iain Jardine but was second to Alvesta over C&D (good) on latest hurdling start and is also suited by slower ground; no surprise if he features. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Did well to finish third after stumbling at the start at Carlisle (1m1f, good) last month and has since run well over hurdles; no issue with track, trip or ground conditions and has possibilities for a trainer who has won this three times since 2021. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |

0-10; runner-up in two of his last three races, failing to get a clear run when a close second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) two months ago; on a positive trajectory but with more required from 4lb higher. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-race maiden, with new yard this season; upped to 1m2f, hooded and came from the rear when third at Doncaster (good to soft) and second at Nottingham (good) this spring; enters the reckoning on that form and he may have had stamina issues over 1m4f in a Class 4 at York last time; not ruled out dropped back in trip and grade. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Now 1lb below the mark he defied over 1m1f at Musselburgh (good) in June but recent efforts have been a little short of that level, including fourth back at Musselburgh on Saturday. |
25/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Course form figures read 21315, with the latest win coming over C&D in June, and when fifth over C&D on his latest start this prominent racer had an excuse (slowly away); he's 1lb below his last winning mark and is capable of playing a leading role. |
14/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins on this track, the latest over C&D off this mark in first-time cheekpieces in June (good); hasn't done as well since, but an interesting contender on a track where his record is 2131. |

Dual course winner (1m2f; last win October 2024); has beaten just a single rival in his last three appearances (1m2f-12.5f) and, while he has eased 11lb over that period (and is claimer ridden), it's tough to form an argument. |
