18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won his maiden over C&D in February, since when he's been turned over four times as favourite in handicaps; last two efforts, including one having been gelded, were particularly poor, and leave him plenty to prove; stable in fine form, though. |
5/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bang in form on the AW before going off too fast when made favourite for his turf debut in a 6f handicap at Ripon; remains of interest and looks sharp enough for 5f; gelded since. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two promising runs over 5f for this yard last autumn; stepping up to 6f should be in his favour and he is open to improvement but such progress looks essential if he is to defy this mark. |
20/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Trailed throughout when last of seven on debut at Catterick (5f, good) in August when trained by Danny Brooke; much sharper when second of 12 at Beverley (5f, soft; 200-1) on stable debut and should go close judged on that. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Quirky filly who's been very expensive to follow this season, getting beaten a long way at 8-13 in a maiden early last month before another poor one in a Polytrack handicap; more than enough ability and it will largely hinge on the first-time headgear. |
9/4 |

7th 3 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 but she should find a race on the pick of her turf form this summer and she acts on Polytrack; should be suited by the return to 5f in her first AW handicap at the trip and has to be considered. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer with two C&D wins on his record; not at his best at Bath in July but this track should see him in a better light; needs taking seriously. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His form has been up and down this year but he won at Kempton (6f, AW) in March and was back to his best when making all over this C&D (firm) in May; key player if at the top of his game after a 50-day break. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of two small-fileld 5f nurseries for Archie Watson last season, one of them at this track; the handicapper has been on top so far this year and a full revival is required. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who won two nurseries last year and is below his last winning mark; Windsor last month was a step back in the right direction but he needs another today if he's to be a serious force. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Rather a modest third returned to turf last time; only 1-30 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off current mark) and holds a fighting chance back here. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Ran well in a higher level on the AW two weeks ago (125-1) and that was after a lengthy break; might be sharper this time and has competitive form here off this sort of mark. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Off the mark when making all at Ripon (6f, good) in July off 2lb lower; dangerous if allowed an uncontested lead. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Made all to win a 6f handicap at Ripon last month; creditable fifth at Doncaster 17 days later; well drawn to attack and should be quick enough for 5f; respected. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Solid efforts in defeat on his last three starts; has C&D form and he's one to consider from a handy draw. |
6/1 |

5th 8 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who made all when bolting up over C&D in January and nearly capitalised on his slipping mark when beaten a short head back here 19 days ago; looked unlucky not to go even closer when third of eight here on Tuesday after missing the break; should go well again, especially with a cleaner start. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien but he struggled last season at trips ranging from 5f to 2m; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's now 1-16 and needs a major revival after 202 days off. |
