4th 6 (6) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
All three of his wins came as 2yo, the most recent in the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last September, but he ran his best this year when fourth of eight in first-time cheekpieces in Group 2 at Doncaster (7f, good) last time; won't be troubled by this drop back in trip and he's a leading contender on his AW debut. |
7/4 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has raced over only shorter trips but a couple of efforts in his below-par 2026 campaign suggest this step up to 7f, combined with first-time headgear, may prompt a resurgence; proved a progressive juvenile last term, signing off with Middle Park win. |
14/1 |
|
22th 15 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk here (5f, good to firm) 12 months ago and won the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September; hasn't hit the same heights in races won by Coppull and Song Of The Clyde this season but he's not written off. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Best 2yo form when close second in a Group 2 at Chantilly (6f, soft) last summer; lightly raced and inconclusive form this year but he'll need more than his two handicap defeats, the latest in the Portland at Doncaster last week. |
40/1 |
|
11th 12 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Classy as 2yo; yet to shine in 2026 but he has faced a couple of stiff tasks, including the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup at Ascot when last seen 12 weeks ago; gelded since; not a solid option. |
40/1 |
|
21th 14 (12) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Eight runs last season, the highlight his 6f Group 2 near-miss at Chantilly in July; however, he was inconsistent and hasn't shown anything like enough on his two runs this term to suggest he'll make an impact today. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Finished a close third in a hot race at Ascot last April (closely matched with Angel Of Anfield) on his second start and had little trouble in seeing off eight rivals in a 7f maiden here last October; his two runs since, seven months apart, have resulted in heavy defeats; drops in class and could make a bold bid back on AW with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
7/1 |
|
13th 10 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Absent and gelded since finishing last in valuable event at Ascot on Champions Day; scored readily at Kempton (AW; sole 7f attempt) earlier in October when back from a layoff, and that performance bodes well for him being fresh; may do better still. |

2nd 4 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Went close in French Group 2 in July and picked up Deauville Group 3 (also 6f, first-time blinkers) the following month; gelded prior to his reappearance and did enough to show he'd trained on when third of four, beaten 3l, on AW debut at Kempton (1m) in February; wore cheekpieces that day and now drops back to sprinting in returning blinkers; firmly in the picture. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Well placed by connections to land French Group 3 in August, which earned him a triple-figure BHA rating; gelded after managing sixth in valuable sales race at Doncaster's St Leger meeting; yet to go beyond 6.5f but this is unlikely to be a true test and his dam ran over 1m/1m2f; AW debut; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers; trainer took this in 2023 with one who had won in France. |
5/1 |
|
1 (22) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Below-par favourite in the York sales race won by Song Of The Clyde but steadily progressive otherwise and bagged Group 3 honours at Deauville (6f, good) earlier in August; major player provided he rebounds. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6f novice winner on turf and also runner-up in a nursery off 3lb higher; hasn't beaten a rival this season but the ability is there should a first-time hood trigger something. |
12/1 |
|
10th 9 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A fair C&D winner at 2yrs; came in last of ten in 7f Ascot handicap on his seasonal return but this Harry Angel gelding can take a step forward now back in trip. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown best form this season, including 5f spring win, in Listed grade at York; had wind surgery prior to good third over 6f last time; may remain competitive, provided he's as effective at Newbury. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Swept through from off the pace to win a Listed race at the Dante meeting (5f, good) here in May; also ran well over 5f here in July and he has had a wind operation since finishing down the field at Glorious Goodwood; 6f will be a new experience and he may prove vulnerable under his penalty. |
14/1 |
|
13th 13 (12) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Third in the Group 3 Molecomb over C&D (good) last July and reappeared with 3yo Listed win at York (5f, good) in May; not beaten far when seventh of 13 in Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and still lightly raced, but he's down the pecking order on ratings in this line-up. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice last year but not been in the same form this term; ran his best race for some time when third of seven at Wolverhampton (7f) last month but needs to back that up over a distance where he is unproven. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Out of the frame in four starts since returning in June from six months off, but well treated on the pick of his AW form last winter; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and interesting with Oisin Murphy aboard for the first time. |
4/1 |
|
6th 1 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close off 2lb higher over C&D on New Year's Day but returned from a break with three disappointing efforts this summer, the latest when back over this C&D; needs to get back in the groove. |

Ran well on his C&D comeback, off 7lb higher, and offered more here last time, when hitting traffic; become something of an 'excuse' horse this season but this mark is surely within range when it falls right. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Highly tried last backend and has struggled since handicapping this season; another 6lb lower as he makes his AW debut (half-brother to two Tapeta winners) but would want to see some support this time back from a short break. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ran well over C&D last summer before struggling in good company on his final two starts as a 2yo; no better in two runs this year and the new cheekpieces need to turn things around. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had some difficult assignments after 5f Newbury maiden win on debut; well behind on handicap debut at Leicester (6f, good to firm; 28-1) on return in May; needs too much more to make him of strong interest this time. |

Gained a second C&D success in fine style in May; hiked up 10lb but not discredited after a three-month layoff when in the frame at Southwell (7f) and Chester (7.5f) since; this front-runner is very much one to consider back here but has the outside draw. |

Third reserve; generally consistent 3yo who has registered two wins over 7f this year; ran creditably over same trip at Chepstow most recently and it was a similar result in sole 1m attempt; solid chance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner who doubled his tally when grabbing the favoured stands' rail here 12 days ago; prevailed by only half a length and has a 5lb higher mark today (also had claimed 3lb off his back last time); perhaps vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Won over 7f at Wolverhampton in May and close up in next two races, at 1m and 7f; finished last at Lingfield 12 days ago but that was over 6f. |

3rd 5 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who can pull hard and is usually ridden with retraint; almost got up to beat Royal County Glory over C&D last time and there's nothing between the pair on revised terms. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |

3yo who won his first four handicaps in the spring (including on good to firm) and was a close third to Bourbon Blues at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) this month prior to winning by 2l at Ayr (1m2f, soft) last Saturday; continues on the up and he's on the shortlist under a 4lb penalty. |

1st 9 (1) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Went close to completing a five-timer in the spring; has proved rather errant by hanging on occasions since but two creditable efforts since upped to 1m2f bode well; kept straighter, on the inside, when close third in useful 3yo handicap at Doncaster (good to soft) last week; possibilities. |

3rd 7 (5) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Went close to completing a five-timer in the spring; has proved rather errant by hanging in his races since, collared near the finish by Runman at Newbury when upped to 1m2f latest; comes with risk. |
