10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
First run for Michael Keady when winning this race 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark; two good runs on fast ground this year (below par on slower going in the Epsom Dash) and he's likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Appreciated the return to turf when finishing second of 17 at Ascot five weeks ago; 1lb rise still leaves him on a feasible mark; rarely seen on slower than good. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (2) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |
13/2 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
He's on a hat-trick in this race and followed last year's win by also scoring at Windsor and Yarmouth (all 5f on good to firm in cheekpieces) in August; no wins since but he didn't get much cover when midfield over C&D one week ago and his race record means he can't be discounted; also ran well sole previous go in a visor. |
11/4 |
|
7th 7 (12) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
C&D record reads 131, the defeat coming behind Emperor Spirit in this race last year; 5lb lower than for his last win and although he's yet to really shine this year, the booking of Oisin Murphy is notable; contender with frequent cheekpieces now discarded. |
11/2 |

5th 1 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |

C&D win last August came off a 3lb higher mark; encouraging reappearance here five weeks ago and today's ground will be more suitable; solid claims dropped into a Class 4. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest. |
8/1 |

8th 2 (8) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple sprint winner, the latest off a 3lb higher mark last October (6f, good to soft); not at his best so far this year and 7f is a query. |

7th 17 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Still to find top form this term but he is well handicapped if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |

3rd 3 (6) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Won six times in 2024, all over about 5f in first half of the year, but well below her best this season and going the wrong way. |

9th 3 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won six times in 2024 but well below her best this season; continues to slide down the weights but her last couple of efforts were particularly disappointing and she has a much better strike-rate on turf. |

Added another two AW wins to his tally earlier in the year; unplaced in three runs back on turf but dropping back into a Class 4 should help; others preferred all the same. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year; ran respectably back on turf at Nottingham (5f, good) in April but he was laboured in similar conditions at York two weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that and he's never won off a mark this high. |
16/1 |

13th 10 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Successful twice over 5f at Southwell this year and ran respectably at Nottingham in April, but he's 3lb above his highest winning mark and will need a career best if he's to go in again. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won a less-competitive renewal of this last year under Oisin Murphy (currently 2-2 on him), to further enhance a good course record; arrives in good form, remains on a workable mark and holds decent claims once more. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; back from a break with a near miss at Nottingham and a length defeat at Goodwood, again over 5f on good ground; should run well again from stall 4; has form on all sorts of surfaces. |

9st 3lb |
Popped up from nowhere when winning in a first-time tongue-tie over C&D (soft) nine days ago; well drawn as it turned out that day and recent history suggests he's no certainty to repeat the effort, back up 4lb and into a better race. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

14/1 |

4th 7 (11) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

All four wins when trained by Philip McBride, the last of which was in September 2024; sold for 6,000gns to join new yard in February; unseated when rearing at the start on stable debut; first-time cheekpieces go on and he's best watched. |

Front-runner who's drawn to attack and boasts a solid record over C&D; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, for a yard also responsible for Ziggy's Missile. |

8th 6 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |

Front-runner who was found an ordinary Yarmouth handicap when winning easily in the spring; handicapper had his say for that and he finished well beaten behind Dream Composer upped in class at Epsom last time; yard also runs Rhythm N Hooves. |
12/1 |
|
18th 20 (13) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Better on AW than turf but took advantage of a good opportunity at Yarmouth in April (5f, good); hit with an 8lb rise for that, bringing his turf and AW marks into line; blew the start back at Yarmouth last month but the stewards deemed him a non-runner due to having his head turned as the stalls opened; risky on the back of that and there are other pace influences to contend with today. |

9st 11lb |
Six wins, all at 5f, include five on turf, most recently when making a winning reappearance at Nottingham (good) in April; slight concern that his sole run here was his worst but he's won off this mark and looks a player. |

Had an inconsistent spell on AW towards the end of 2025; has a better strike-rate on turf and recorded last year's August double off slightly higher marks; possibilities returned to this sphere on reappearance. |
