7th 7 (12) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Seriously progressive this season in 1m handicaps, including a near miss in the Lincoln (good to soft; won on soft) and victory in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (good to firm); dispelled any doubts about his Group-race credentials when emerging from last in a steadily run race to push Lake Forest to a neck in the 7f Lennox at Glorious Goodwood (good); that effort deserves an upgrade, so he's in the mix. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive handicapper who landed the Hunt Cup from favourable draw at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) most recently; faces a stiffer task on these terms but possibly hasn't reached his ceiling yet and a strike-rate of 5-6 over 7f bodes well. |
10/1 |

1st 28 (33) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to fire in French Listed race last time; broadly progressive in handicaps and went close in the Lincoln when bidding for a five-timer (ran creditably in Spring Cup next time); however, chance partly depends on the weather, as he's ideally suited by ground softer than good. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner on ground slower than good, including a C&D handicap last September; back on good to soft he chased home a handicap snip last weekend at Goodwood; he'll give his running but that's unlikely to be good enough. |
18/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Progressed into a useful sort last term but has a doubt over current form, having posted two duck eggs (both at Ascot) this season; best watched unless the market suggests a revival is likely. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time winner (AW/turf) who is largely consistent; good second over C&D in most recent attempt in this sphere; never gets much respite from the assessor but holds solid claims. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Effective on good to firm and good to soft; dual Tapeta winner who scored at Yarmouth (7f) in April and was a creditable second behind a rival who got first run at Kempton last month; usually held-up and has claims if he gets a good tow into the race. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All three wins in handicaps when making all, including when visored for the first time at Wolverhampton (7f) nine days ago; escapes a penalty for that success (due a 2lb rise) and he makes the shortlist, albeit he isn't sure to have things his own way in front. |
7/4 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up off today's mark on stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) in June but subsequent 6f/7f form has been underwhelming, albeit he was denied a clear run last time; wore cheekpieces for last two races; visor given a whirl today. |
5/1 |

9th 7 (9) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins have been here but over 7f and for different yards; however, close up on stable debut over 6f at Ripon and last run wasn't too bad as he was never in the right place at Lingfield; don't put a line through him. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stop-start career but can add to her Wolverhampton novice success on the evidence of an unlucky third at Doncaster in June and decent fifth in a hot race at Southwell last time; might be one for another day, though; Polytrack debut. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Improved to win 6f Wolverhampton novice on stable debut in February and might have been a shade unlucky not to follow up on handicap debut a Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June; didn't fire at Ascot last month but still has possibilities on this return to Tapeta. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Recorded his first handicap success when landing a 7f event a Musselburgh in June; only fourth at Carlisle 17 days ago but that doesn't tell the whole tale as he anticipated the start and ended up losing a lot of ground as a consequence; hadn't had any issues at the start before that and he is treated as still being in top form; good chance. |
11/4 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Added to his 2yo novice win when making all to justify support at Musselburgh (7f, good) in June; this is a deeper race but a 3lb rise looks fair and he's well drawn to attack; respected. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Still seeking his first handicap success and he has been beaten as favourite in both starts this year; on a dangerous mark and likely to be popular again. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ran well when a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month, but didn't back it up at Pontefract (5f, good; first-time hood) a fortnight ago; opposable given his wide draw and a losing run of 22. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |
7/1 |
|
4th 8 (12) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian but his last win was in February 2024 and he's not made an impact in seven runs this year; mark continues to fall but losing run is up to 20 and others are preferred. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded her third success, at Ayr (7f, good to soft) last month off 4lb lower; produced a respectable effort when fourth of 13 at Ripon (1m, soft) 13 days ago; likely needs more off her current mark. |
8/1 |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Landed 12-runner handicap at Ayr (7f) 22 days ago; up 4lb but still lightly raced this season so not out of things. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off 2lb lower at Carlisle (1m, soft) last June; has had just two runs this season but she's run creditably in a handicap and a seller at Beverley; now drops back in trip but has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck. |

Won over this trip at Musselburgh last summer but hasn't added to tally and needs to improve for the switch back to AW/drop to 7f if she's to win this. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all off 1lb higher at Windsor (1m, good) in spring 2024 and will also be suited by today's trip-and-surface combination but returned from long absence with 15l defeat last month and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |
50/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all in good style at Windsor (1m, good) in April 2024 and this 7yo is well treated now 2lb higher if retaining that ability; however, he's returning from a 454-day absence so there are questions to answer. |
33/1 |
|
10th 3 (9) |
28th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Wolverhampton winner early last year who scored in some style at Windsor (1m, good) this month but was disappointing under his penalty at Pontefract (1m, soft) six days ago; not quite sure what to expect after that; stable also runs Visibility. |
