14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole victory (for Edward Bethell) came in September 2024; added to a patchy record with a below-par seventh of ten in 7f Southwell AW handicap in July; others are preferred. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (1) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has a patchy profile and finished last at Carlisle (6f, soft) four weeks ago; however, the ground may not have suited and prior to that she kept on well for close third there (6f, good to soft), hinting this return to 7f could be a positive; not discounted on AW debut. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won four times over 6f here early in the year to take his career total to ten; none of those victories came when fresh, though, and he returns from six months off looking high in the weights. |
33/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Signed off for Dylan Cunha in good heart, winning twice at Yarmouth (6f/1m, good to firm) in the summer; 22-1 for his stable debut but he maintained the momentum, beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f) a fortnight ago; up 2lb but another good effort looks likely. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Bids for hat-trick after completing a Yarmouth double (1m/6f) for Dylan Cunha; shade fortuitous last time (runner-up's rider dropped whip) and switches to a contrasting venue on debut for new yard. |

No match for Coramento here last month in a race he won the previous season; however, he does have a pull in the weights with the winner and must have an each-way chance. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Only 1-17 and the win, over 7f here last summer, was for Marco Botti; however, good runs on either side of a break at Doncaster (7f), latterly close up in a race not run to suit; stays 1m and probably needs it now. |
8/1 |
|
4th 12 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
A fair 7f scorer for Marco Botti last June; back on song for his current stable when second of 11 over C&D in June; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice for Dylan Cunha and latest was in blinkers at Nottingham (6f, heavy) last October; well handicapped on that form, but she's struggled since including in two runs for new yard this summer; has lots to prove and she needs a major revival back on AW. |
25/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Off the mark at Leicester in July (1m, good to firm) and sound effort when second at Doncaster next time (1m, good to firm); not quite so good last twice; has form on good to soft, but first run on soft ground. |

Out of an Italian Oaks winner but she's yet to be placed and has been well held in five runs for new yard this season; continues to drop down the weights and steps back in trip but others are preferred. |

Not won on turf since his Irish days and tends to stick to the AW now; ordinary debut for his new yard recently, having been picked up for 2,000gns, and isn't obviously fancied. |
33/1 |
|
13th 3 (10) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Eight-time winner; made a winning stable debut for Laura Mongan (1m, AW) in March but that wasn't a springboard to better things; sold for 2,000gns in July; return to 6f should suit on stable debut. |

Runner-up in a classified event at Lingfield last month and built on that to win a Newcastle handicap by a neck three weeks ago; did it quite cosily and remains of interest off this 2lb higher mark. |
