2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Has won 5f classified events at Wolverhampton and Lingfield on last two starts; a possible, but faces a stiffer task with a 5lb penalty in this handicap. |

Had cheekpieces reapplied when gaining his fourth success on the AW in a classified event at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) eight days ago, winning by 2l; has strong claims in his bid to follow up. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from three-month break with pretty good second behind Von Krolock at Lingfield (6f, AW; first run after wind op) 12 days ago; remains well handicapped and will be fine back on turf; must be considered. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won 6f maiden on Chelmsford Polytrack as a 2yo and he looked a useful prospect when winning a 6f handicap at Newmarket in May 2025; however, he's had more horses in front of him than behind ever since and wind surgery (his second) since last seen in May needs to have made a big difference. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Won a 5f AW maiden last summer; 0-7 in handicaps but she hasn't performed badly in two runs for this yard; acts on good and good to soft but unproven on slower. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from a three-month break to score over C&D (6-1; from 2lb lower) in June; less productive next time, but last week's Ffos Las fourth (5f, good, beaten 1l) was a step back in the right direction; Christian Howarth takes off 5lb. |
9/2 |

4th 1 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to form when winning small-field 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in June but he's struggled badly otherwise this year; clear risks back on turf. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-time winner including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) in January, but well held in all three starts since and is hard to predict. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two of his five wins on turf have been on soft; came back to form when winning at Kempton (6f, AW) in January but he's been well beaten in both starts since; a 63-day break needs to have done him good. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins have been in sprint handicaps at Wolverhampton and latest was after wind surgery last week; hit a personal best with that comfortable success and he is a big player again despite conceding weight all round back in a classified event. |
5/4 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt here (6f) in March; not disgraced when fourth of ten over C&D last month but disappointed when sent off favourite at Leicester (5f, good) a week later; has undergone wind surgery since; needs to bounce back. |

Has extended his losing sequence in three attempts for new yard but is interesting off current mark back at Lingfield, assuming he takes well to added blinkers; three-time course winner (AW/turf). |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 54 starts came over this C&D in April 2023; wasn't helped by racing wide when fourth behind Let's Go Hugo at Wolverhampton eight days ago and makes some each-way appeal. |

4th 2 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

1-53 and well held in similar events on turf during the summer; hard to recommend. |
