6th 5 (4) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Ran well over C&D last September; beat 17 rivals when landing a Class 4 handicap at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May but he was unable to build on it at Pontefract last month; perhaps vulnerable once more. |
13/2 |

Prevailed narrowly in big field at Ascot (6f, good to firm) on return from break, opening his turf account; rested a further six weeks since, keeping him fresh; one of two last-time winners for his yard in this field; shortlisted. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Course winner last June off a 10lb higher mark than today's, but he's been struggling in recent starts and hasn't won over 6f since August 2022; best watched at present. |
33/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Fine servant down the years but he hasn't won over 6f since August 2022; on a good mark and can pop up soon but would like to see more from him before getting involved. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended lengthy losing run when scoring off reduced mark at Southwell (6f, AW) two weeks ago; back up 5lb but he remains well treated on his best form including a win at Chester (6f, good) last July; interesting contender. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed just once in eight starts since returning for this yard in April, but has been contesting much warmer handicaps than this on turf; won on Tapeta for previous yard and worth a second look down at this level. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third to Spring Bloom over C&D last week when bidding for a four-timer after wins elsewhere (maiden previously); still on career-high mark but, by the same token, remains in good form; not dismissed. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Took 17 attempts to get off the mark but now on a four-timer after wins at Leicester (twice) and Nottingham in recent months (all 6f on good/good to firm); only up another 2lb and merits plenty of respect in his current mood. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to win this season but has dropped to a good mark and was close third in refitted visor at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; blinkers are the headgear of choice today; might be the answer. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest. |

Signed off for Richard Newland and Jamie Insole with victory in 6f handicap at Haydock in April; up 6lb and needs to hit the ground running for his new handler after an absence. |

1st 3 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

6f AW winner in November (form solid) and several good placed runs followed; he has more to prove on turf but he won't be far away if able to transfer his form back to the grass. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
All six wins, three on AW, have been over 6f; best run this season was when second over 5f at Ffos Las last month (good); chance on that run but this faster going not sure to suit. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Missed 2025 but ran well when second of seven over this C&D in March on his first start for 702 days; struggled on his next two starts but returned to form when going close at Ffos Las (5f) nine days ago; this dual C&D will be suited by the return to this trip and has strong claims. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bath blowout in the spring can be ignored but he started a big price when last of seven on his return from a break a fortnight ago; while the return to the AW may do the trick, others hold stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Got off the mark at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; didn't look in love with the track when down the field at Windsor subsequently and a line can also be put through his last run at Bath when he was almost brought down when about to deliver his chance; not one to give up on. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
New trainer decides against the cheekpieces (and regular tongue-tie) that worked well for this 4yo in his last two races, when he had the outside stall at Kempton and raced wide throughout at Wolverhampton (again over 6f); C&D winner with a good chance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ran a blinder from the outside stall when beaten a short head and a neck into third of 11 at Kempton (6f, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) 19 days ago; has winning form on Tapeta and respected back down to Class 6. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

This mark isn't beyond her but her style of racing doesn't really lend itself to this track; others appeal more for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven wins on the AW including two over C&D, but she needs a strong pace to run at and some luck, which she didn't get at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; not certain this will be run to suit either, but she has the ability to figure if it is. |
