2nd 8 (3) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gained breakthrough win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month, having swapped blinkers for first-time hood, and also ran well when second at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) 18 days ago, where taking the scenic route in pursuit on some better ground didn't pay dividends; also suited by Polytrack and probably still has a bigger run in him. |
9/4 |

2nd 6 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made the breakthrough at the eighth attempt when bouncing back with an emphatic win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm; first-time hood) last month; hasn't looked entirely straightforward but that was a clear personal best last time and he remains feasibly treated off his revised mark; respected. |
9/4 |

Raw material is clearly there to win races over 1m4f and beyond, but couldn't have got more wrong at Doncaster latest, overcompensating for having again fluffed the start (beaten 75l); hood replaces blinkers. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Passed by Mr Moonshine close home when fourth at Chester latest, beaten under 1l and clear of Sisterandbrother and Return With Gold; well treated on 2024's peak form, but winless around any course this galloping. |
4/1 |
|

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Victory in this two years ago is one of two course wins; dangerously treated if revived by a return to this venue and he did win on the AW in May. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two near-misses on turf in July (1m3f/12.2f, good) and this 3yo got off the mark at the tenth attempt at Southwell (1m4f, AW) a fortnight ago, winning by 2l having been ridden more patiently than usual; unexposed under such tactics and can go well if handling the ground (unproven on slow ground). |
7/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Nine-race maiden who had a couple of near misses in July, including behind Al Maslool at Chester (12.3f); looks interesting on that form, but he hung badly right at Beverley last time and needs to step up again after that well-held third of five. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has belied a pedigree not obviously conducive to middle distances in recording two recent near misses, including a neck third at Chester latest (1m4f, good) with three reopposing rivals held; chance off an unchanged mark, assuming no adverse reaction to the debuted cheekpieces. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His form when fourth and third in 1m4f turf handicaps this summer give him solid claims; last time's effort, when beaten 18l at Beverley, needs to be overlooked but he's not fully exposed; cheekpieces come off for this AW debut. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Recent step up to 1m4f and fitting of cheekpieces has returned him to the level of his peak 2yo effort, and still had running left at the end of a slightly better Thirsk Class 5 than this last time; chance. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-race maiden who has two standout pieces of form, including creditable effort with cheekpieces fitted at Doncaster (1m4f) last time; could go well in the retained headgear. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't live up to market expectations in two attempts in juvenile hurdles (beaten 44l and 17l); recent Flat efforts, failing to beat a rival the last twice, are hardly encouraging either; potentially capable from this mark (handicap debut) but risky nevertheless. |
15/2 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
18l behind Mr Moonshine when tenth of ten at Chester latest (1m4f); slight ease still leaves him 4lb above his highest winning mark, and cheekpieces will likely need to inspire a career best. |
25/1 |
|
10th 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1m2f/1m3f wins on the AW; showed little in two runs over hurdles before returning from a break and wind surgery with a fourth of ten at Southwell in January; now back from another break, others are safer. |
14/1 |
