attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap (Div 1)

Sole success this year came at Lingfield in April but he has largely acquitted himself well in defeat since, latest when second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1m) 15 days ago. One for the shortlist.

Three-time scorer in 2025 who raised his game further for George Boughey this year, resuming winning ways at Newcastle (1m) in March and back on the up when second at Yarmouth (1m) in June. Proved disappointing on debut for new yard at this course last month, though.

Impressive debut winner at Newbury last October and built on that at the second attempt when winning Doncaster novice on reappearance. Shaped as if amiss in a couple of starts since, however, and has something to prove at present.

Improved to make a successful reappearance at Yarmouth in April and bettered that form when very good third of 11 at Newbury (1¼m) next time. Nowhere near that form since, though, and no surprise to see blinkers reached for.

Quite useful form for the Fabre stable in France and may have needed the outing, back from 2 months off, when seventh of 9 on yard/handicap debut at Ripon (1m, soft) 22 days ago. Hood on first time. This run should reveal more.

Won back-to-back races on all-weather in March and April for Martyn Meade but has proved somewhat disappointing on turf since. Bit to prove on first start for new connections here.

Won a pair of all-weather events in November and took a big step forward on handicap debut when scoring at Newmarket on return. Below that level next 3 starts but took a step back in the right direction when fifth in Kempton handicap (1m) last month. Claims if building on that.

Made winning start to 2026 over this C&D but not been able to add to that success since, proving disappointing at Chepstow latest. Mark continues to tumble, though.

Registered back-to-back course victories (both 7f) in July but has rather gone backwards since and is tough to recommend at present.

Readily gained a second win of 2026 over C&D in July. Not in quite same form either start since but remains fairly treated if return to this venue sees him back to his best following a gelding operation.

Made a winning start for current yard at this course (7f) in March and added 1m York victory in July. Not really threatened since, however, and others appeal more.
