1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-5 but was beaten less than 1l when fourth of seven at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in July; should make his presence felt in this easier contest. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Fair form shown when twice placed over 1m; hood refitted when a respectable sixth of eight on his handicap debut at Chester (7.5f) last month; this son of Lope De Vega needs this step up in trip to spark improvement. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden who can race freely, though gave herself a chance last time at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and ran well; unlikely to be far away. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has made the frame on all six starts; did well to finish fourth of five on her handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month, despite pulling hard; can do better if she settles. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-5 but she's never been out of the first three and went fairly close when third of 12 in Southwell novice (7f, AW) six weeks ago; shaped that day like the step up to this trip will suit; makes her turf and handicap debut. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has found a bit more for cheekpieces, close second at Newmarket before going one better at Yarmouth (both 1m) 11 days ago; not well treated under a 6lb penalty (new mark due to be 4lb lower) but further progress wouldn't surprise. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
No wins in seven runs but he's getting there and was only just denied at Newmarket (1m, good) where the new cheekpieces did him no harm; 2lb higher now; firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who ran well at Newbury on penultimate outing; the contest panned out unfavourably when beaten favourite on AW latest; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over further but proved suited by the return to 7f at Thirsk most recently, opening his account at the 21st attempt; another win is far from inconceivable kept to this distance. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He's 0-20 but he went too freely without his usual hood after six months off when fifth of six in 8.5f Wolverhampton AW handicap 13 days ago; can take a step forward now in refitted headgear. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seven-race maiden; came off worse from a bout of scrimmaging inside the final furlong last time at Pontefract (1m, good to firm); has been dropped 2lb on this return to AW, sports a first-time tongue-tie and has the assistance of Billy Loughnane for the first time; has to be of interest. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden who's failed to make a serious impact in his three handicaps (7.6f, 6f and 7f); dropped 5lb in the process and returns to 1m but others are more persuasive. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden; promise in maiden/novice company and fair fourth of five at Nottingham on second handicap start last time (6f, good to firm); should improve back at 7f; wouldn't rule out. |
