6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won by 4l last Saturday to complete a Lingfield turf double; raised a whopping 12lb but is still well treated on best form, which includes close second (off 4lb higher) in this contest in 2025; fighting chance. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
On a hat-trick after 5f wins in conditions event at Beverley (good) and handicap at York (soft) in recent weeks; first Catterick visit but it's a track which should suit this strong-travelling, prominent racer; high on the list. |
100/30 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Several good runs for his new yard this year and likely to give his running; surprising if one, or both, of the big two didn't have his measure. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won here (5f, good to firm) in June; ran two fine races at Goodwood's Glorious meeting and again when third behind Air Force One at York last month (travelled best); soft ground wouldn't have been ideal when second of six at Goodwood two weeks ago; drying conditions would be in his favour and he has the ability to get involved. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |

8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven Newcastle wins last year, latterly off 8lb higher; didn't shape with obvious promise when sixth back on AW at Southwell latest but the second/third from that race have won since and he could revive back here. |
7/2 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven Newcastle wins to his name last year (fine here too), latterly off 6lb higher; will appreciate the return to Tapeta, having been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper following a few runs on turf; one to consider. |
7/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Soft ground was probably against him on latest outing; won six times on AW last year and, although he's taken minor honours on all three starts at this track, including two this summer, he does not look the percentage call with his 1-27 strike-rate on turf. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Capitalised on a good mark at Newbury (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but still feasibly weighted and this Royal Ascot winner should make another bold bid. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Little margin for error off this mark and this is a deeper race than the Lingfield handicap (5f, AW) in which he finished second three weeks ago; the new tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |

Fine on the AW but has done most winning on turf and remains weighted to his best after a couple of victories in early summer, latterly off 1lb lower; others make greater appeal. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, with five on AW and one on turf; well handicapped on his Nottingham win (5f, good) last summer but he's been out sorts in three runs this season and needs a big turnaround. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Faded in the closing stages over 6f at Newmarket last time but 5f is more her trip and her latest attempt over the minimum distance resulted in a creditable third at Lingfield (AW) at the beginning of September; has dropped to only 1lb above the mark she defied on turf at Lingfield in August. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has placed form over the trip but she's 0-9 over 6f+ as opposed to 3-16 at 5f; didn't run badly on AW three weeks ago but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers this time. |
12/1 |

1 (8) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Turf win here last month (5f, good); not so good at York a fortnight ago but that was a warm race; promise in each of her three AW starts thus far; not ideally drawn though and others perhaps stronger for win purposes. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |
6/1 |

5th 13 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |
