1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
5-42, his last three wins close to home on the July Course at Newmarket (2m); third to Regally Blonde in this last year and the handicapper is beginning to cut him some slack (back on last winning mark); vulnerable to younger rivals? |
6/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
10yo whose last three wins (in 2022, 2023 and 2025) came in the 2m handicap he contested here six weeks ago; could only manage 5l third to the reopposing Prince Quattro in this year's renewal; 4lb better off with that rival this time but it may not be enough. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won on the Flat (2m, good to firm) and over hurdles (2m2f, good) last summer but he's been tailed off in all completed starts under both codes this year; has a lot to prove and he needs a major revival back on the Flat. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten in the region of 6l in similar races at Worcester and Southwell so has each-way claims, and the return of blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) is no bad thing. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
1st Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Four thirds over hurdles (from seven attempts) in the midst of his extensive Flat career; that includes off this mark behind Crafty Gael over nearly 3m at Worcester three weeks ago but he seemingly needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark in this sphere. |
9/2 |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Creditable third of 17 on handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January 2024; seen only twice over jumps since, latterly when safely held at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but stays well on the Flat so this new trip could suit. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
No significant impact after three Flat maidens (1m2f-1m4f for William Haggas) and four races over hurdles; now makes Flat handicap debut. |
10/1 |

6th 9 |
14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Showed only minor promise in three 2m maiden/novice hurdles this year and is not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but the new trip may unlock improvement. |
10/1 |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Showed some ability on the Flat for William Haggas last year and on her two hurdling starts for Alan King in February/March; only fourth best on merit when modest third at Kempton (2m, good) on latter occasion but this race is easier and she's on the shortlist; hooded for first time. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual 2m AW winner who took a good-ground selling hurdle in April; slow-starting second under 7lb claimer at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) 12 days ago confirms that she is firmly in the mix. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (6) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual AW winner who took a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f) in April; placed behind Cherry Cola on only other visit to this track (1m6f) and some encouragement is drawn from her latest Salisbury effort (staying-on fifth); step up in trip in her favour; a possible. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten favourite on the AW last time when seeking a fifth win on those surfaces; 0-5 on turf and probably best to look elsewhere. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

C&D win in June off 1lb lower; respectable efforts on his last two starts but no banker to confirm latest Chelmsford placings with Inlet. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; made favourite in first-time blinkers at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last time but the start proved troublesome again, very slowly away only to finish fourth of eleven; a clean break would put him right in the picture but that's by no means certain. |
4/1 |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; arrives with something to prove but wears first-time blinkers and it will be interesting to see if he's again towards the head of the betting. |
