5th 9 (8) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1-19; has tumbled in the weights since joining this stable from Ireland and ran a solid race when runner-up behind Dannick here over 7f last time; latest effort can be forgiven (raced wide) but he isn't certain to appreciate the step back up in trip. |
25/1 |

8th 8 (7) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Tumbled down the weights since coming over from Ireland and has found his level now, finishing best of the rest behind a well-handicapped winner over C&D last time; 7lb claimer James Glennon has ridden a couple of winners this summer. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

No problem with his consistency, especially on Tapeta, but is just 1-27 and yet to tackle beyond 7f; could go well again, but others are preferred for the win. |

3rd 8 (14) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Only 1-26 but that win was three runs back over 7f at Wolverhampton and it had been coming; has continued to run well and 6f is fine, as is this track. |

3rd 3 (10) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner last year (7f/1m; AW/good to firm) when trained by Roger Varian; has dropped in the weights and his last two efforts have been good, including when runner-up to On Key over this C&D two weeks ago, despite a wide trip; considered. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins from 23 starts include one here over 7f at April; left the impression he's still in form after missing the break here over 7f last week but he's been well beaten in two previous tries over 1m; stamina to prove. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Does a lot wrong in his races (often misses the break and/or pulls too hard) but he has two 7f AW wins to his name, including off this mark over C&D in April; others are more appealing this time. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Has a modest 2-39 strike-rate, but his latest win came over C&D in December and he is back off the same mark; worth a second look. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has modest 2-39 strike-rate, with both wins gained on AW, and tends to race too freely but the form of his never-dangerous fourth at Brighton (7f, good to firm) at end of June has worked out well; worth a second look. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not very consistent, but has won nine races, eight on the AW; twice well held since winning a handicap at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in June, but more than capable of playing a part if on a going day. |
7/1 |
|
9th 12 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Won over Newcastle's 6f in June (5lb lower) but he's very hit and miss and pulled hard when down the field at Southwell (stays 7f). |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

3lb lower than when successful at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December, but his record on Tapeta (6U585) raises questions; cheekpieces are given a go. |
7/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all three turf starts, most recently in soft-ground C&D contest won by Beau Jardine in early June, but now 1lb lower than when winning on Polytrack here in December and has possibilities if this fast ground suits. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f) in January; that form puts him in the picture but he hasn't threatened back on turf in last two runs and overall record is now 1-29. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he didn't shine back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and that took his overall record to 1-28; mixed messages. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Has gone the wrong way since showing early promise for Eve Johnson Houghton and is now 0-18; hard to recommend, even at this level. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

17-race maiden who has shown little in three starts since joining this stable; first-time tongue-tie and blinkers combination needs to make a big difference. |

Sole success came in a handicap over C&D in March, but last three efforts not amongst his best; dropping to this grade for the first time one reason for optimism. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Usually seen over further; won a 7f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in March and turned in another fair effort here in May; heavy defeats on turf twice since but returning to this surface is in his favour. |
