3rd 1 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive 2yo/3yo; he has faced some stiff tasks for his new yard this year and has come up short; his sights are lowered here, however, and 6f on fast ground won't faze him; respected now down into a 0-90 with headgear dispensed with. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made a winning seasonal/handicap debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; flopped behind Thunder Call at York eight weeks ago; that run casts a shadow but he still has low mileage and could well rebound. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
230,000gns breeze-up buy last year; gelded after his first run and he returned from 445 days away with a comfortable win over 6f at Southwell; penalised accordingly but open to any amount of improvement. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

230,000gns breeze-up buy last year; raced with choke out and was turned over at odds of 4-7 on debut at Hamilton (5f, good) that May; second run has been a long time coming and he's now gelded; market vibes are awaited with interest. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
6f maiden winner on good to soft as 2yo; successful comeback at Sandown (5f, good) in April but his star has waned slightly and he found little at York 17 days ago (first-time tongue-tie, retained); has a query now. |
20/1 |
|
12th 7 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Won on reappearance at Sandown (5f, good) in April and denied a clear run when Listed sixth over this C&D (good) next time; soundly beaten in Royal Ascot handicap latest but, with the Sandown form having been strongly franked by the placed horses, he's not written off; a tongue-tie goes on. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent and winless this year and well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) recently; however, that was more competitive than this and two starts ago he ran well when third of 17 at Ayr (6f, good); may have a chance. |
6/1 |
|
19th 14 (18) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won a good C&D handicap last year and also successful at Ayr last September; 0-7 in 2026 but he retains all his ability and ran well for third (of 17) at Ayr 19 days ago; high draw a potential stumbling block. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Third on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February and he won AW novice races at Kempton (6f) and Newcastle (5f) on his next two starts; makes handicap debut in a hot contest after three months off but his stable is in fine form and he certainly brings potential; one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Half-brother to two sprint winners who looked to find 7f streching him on his debut here in February; built on that when winning tidily at Kempton (6f), an effort that's been very well advertised since; open to further improvement under the penalty. |

Gained a second win of 2026 in 7.6f claimer here in August; back to form with third of 12 to King Of Thunder over C&D eight days ago; considered. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Two wins this summer, the latest a 7.6f claimer here last month; unplaced twice since and he will be 2lb lower from the weekend. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won a novice at Leicester (6f, good) last October and was runner-up in a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in her final 2yo run; several creditable efforts in Listed/Group 3 events this season but she's been well held switched to handicaps in her last two starts; had some traffic issues at York last time but she's now 1-11 and others are more persuasive. |
8/1 |
|
10th 10 (13) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Sole win came in a novice at Leicester (6f, good) last October and second behind Lam Yai in a Listed event at Doncaster (6f, heavy) next time; posted her best effort on RPRs when sixth of 13 in Group 3 here over 6f last month but she was below her best in a handicap at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; down 2lb but others look stronger. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f) in August but saw his run of good form end when beating just two at Doncaster (6f) six days ago; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back. |
11/2 |
|
14th 9 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Southwell (6f, AW) last month and runner-up at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) next time; finished held in fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) last time but it was a card that favoured those ridden more prominently; contender. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Three good runs this season, including last month's fourth of 18 behind Deep Havana at Thirsk (6f, good) and a recent Kempton second (6f, AW); probably won't be far away. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Convincing winner of 6f maiden at Ffos Las as 2yo; he's needed some excuses in handicaps, such as when failing to pick up off an average pace over C&D last October and not having the ideal track position at Thirsk recently, but his comeback run at Chester in July was promising; capable of better. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Some good form this year prior to winning at Hamilton (6f, good) last month and she was a good third there ten days later (6f, good to soft; Miraculous second); there's every chance that she'll again be in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Several creditable efforts this summer before getting back on the scoresheet with a strong finish over C&D (good; second-time cheekpieces) last week; this is tougher under a penalty but that was a personal best last time and she should get a good tow into this race; respected. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Back from a break (gelded) before doubling his tally for the season in 6f handicap at Epsom (good to soft) 19 days ago; up 4lb but the runner-up has gone in since so he's in the picture if he can overcome his wide berth. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Both wins at 5f but he has form over 6f and he would be well suited by more rain; gelded since latest start; one to consider. |
