11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thrown in on last season's best; yet to get going for David O'Meara this time around but he has dropped 10lb for his troubles and the addition of a visor could help; stable also runs Yes I'm Mali. |

Gave impression something was possibly amiss last time, taking record for new yard to 0-4; interesting on best form, which includes a win over C&D and close second to Photosynthesis at Newmarket. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily progressive and has a largely solid record; won well in his last handicap attempt, then ran well in Listed grade; gelded since; has C&D form and looks an interesting contender on seasonal debut, with further improvement a possibility; market support should be heeded. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Reliable sort who's found some improvement in recent starts, on last two occasions taking second at Ascot (7f, soft) and winning well in a handicap at Haydock (1m, good to soft); first crack at 1m suited him very well last time but another step forward is required. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have come on good to soft ground but he does have one good run on good to firm to his name; disappointed at Windsor last month but this is an ease in grade. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Two 6f wins to his name on good to soft ground; unplaced in two runs this year but neither run was without promise; he will need a personal best to come out on top here though. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (13) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His two wins came on good to soft ground over 6f, including here off this mark last June; entitled to have needed his recent comeback from nine months off, when leading for a long way, and he's low mileage compared to most of these; first run over 5f. |

2nd 6 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won 5f handicaps at Haydock (good) and Hamilton (soft) on his first two runs for Ed Bethell last September; beaten favourite in both starts this year, latterly at York six weeks ago which is a strong piece of form; no obvious reason why he won't handle AW and he is one to take seriously. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (11) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Very lightly raced, ex-Godolphin 4yo; won on stable debut at Haydock (5f, good) last September and followed up later that month (5f, soft); reappeared with close third to Air Force One at Beverley (5f, good to soft) four weeks ago and this unexposed sort could still have plenty more to offer. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Purchased for 60,000gns from Charlie Appleby last July and looked very useful when landing 5f handicaps at Haydock (good) and Hamilton (soft) for Ed Bethell in the autumn; only had five career starts so it'll be a surprise if there isn't more to come this year; leading claims with the stable among the winners. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Below par in the Newbury contest won by Classic last time but that was out of character for him; otherwise a solid and steadily progressive colt whose form this spring includes good efforts in AW finals event and the Thirsk Hunt Cup; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |
33/1 |
|
9th 6 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has improved his rating almost every time, on last two outings taking second in strong 1m handicaps at Newcastle (AW) and Thirsk (good to firm); came from almost last when closing to half a length in 13-runner race last time and looks well capable of a prominent finish here despite 2lb rise. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
7f course winner on good to firm last summer and has done little but progress since, winning over 1m at Southwell on New Year's Day; excellent second of 14 at Newcastle (1m again) since, with reopposing Flight Plan and Apiarist in behind; should continue the good work back on turf; top of the list. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Low-mileage 4yo whose sound form this term includes a respectable effort behind the subsequent Wokingham winner; one of his three wins was gained over C&D; solid chance. |
2/1 |
|
5th 8 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who is a three-time winner; gelded prior to second-place finishes over 6f at Newbury (beaten a head by Mirabeau) and Newmarket (behind a handicap snip) this term; solid claims. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo; hugely encouraging seasonal return at Newbury (6f, good; gelded during his absence) a fortnight ago, missing a beat at the start but moving through to lead inside the final furlong before being picked off close home; 2lb well in and this flashy grey appeals as the type to win a major sprint handicap this year; solid contender. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins from three AW starts (including C&D) as opposed to 0-11 on turf; has a higher mark in this sphere as a result but it is probably still in range; one to note for market confidence. |
10/1 |

7th 4 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins have been on the AW (2-3 in that sphere); did best of the group of four at Goodwood (5f, good) on her reappearance but failed to back that up at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

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

Record of 2-3 on AW; 0-9 on turf but finished first in her group at Goodwood (5f, good) on seasonal debut and looks a possible danger provided this race pans out better. |

10st 0lb |
Slowly away before making late headway when fourth of ten at Catterick (5f, good; 11-1) last week; the return to 6f should suit, and this apparent late developer (unraced for Roger Varian) could yet have more to offer; soon eligible for a handicap mark. |

50-1, never-dangerous tenth of 13 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on his debut in April; drops in trip and this son of Night Of Thunder could still do better in the longer term. |

13-race maiden; two decent seconds this season, including last time when beaten 1.25l in a 6f handicap at Pontefract (good; ran on well in closing stages); interesting on first try at 7f. |

2nd 1 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Still a maiden and balance of form this season doesn't strongly suggest he'll defy top weight in this field; on a positive note, he's nicely treated on peak 3yo efforts. |

4yo filly whose handicap record is split into two halves, namely a progressive one followed by a dismal one; however, 1-1 at this track and could revive if her favoured soft ground materialises. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

9th 2 (9) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

8st 10lb |
Six-race maiden who appeared to improve on his turf efforts when beaten less than 2l into sixth of ten over C&D (first-time cheekpieces; 50-1) in September, but it remains to be seen how reliable the form is. |
