3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark for the year with her win at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in August; wore first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f, good) nine days ago and she ran well for second; another 1lb higher today but foolish to discount. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten in the Portland at Doncaster 12 days ago, having won that 5.6f handicap 12 months earlier; however, she won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) two starts ago and is fine at 6f and on good/good to firm ground; this front-runner is not discounted in first-time cheekpieces. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
In-and-out performer but has bagged four wins on turf and scored on AW at Newcastle (5f) last November; doesn't look one to rely on. |

5th 3 (8) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Scored over C&D in June and in good form subsequently until finishing only sixth of nine in 6f handicap at Thirsk three weeks ago; the sort to bounce back though. |

6th 2 (10) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner who made all at Ripon (6f, good) in June and he had an excuse after missing the break in the Great St Wilfrid there last time; now drops back in grade and he's a big player if he can get back near best. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three good runs over the winter (two of them from five runs in Bahrain) but he has struggled in two 7f runs back in Britain since April; handicapper slow to relent and this step up to 1m isn't sure to spark a revival. |
16/1 |
|
13th 6 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
7yo who was well beaten in Bahrain and at Chester on his last two starts; however, he was drawn wide at Chester and showed some good form in Bahrain in January; he's run really well on both previous attempts at this C&D and is not ruled out each-way off a competitive mark. |
20/1 |
|
12th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

Campaigned back in Bahrain since December, best efforts when placed twice over 6f; well treated on historical data but hasn't won a domestic race since 2023; returns to 7f for first time since last July. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He's fully 12lb lower than when going close at Doncaster (5f, heavy) last October; however, he's had an underwhelming campaign in the main this season and others arrive with more pressing claims. |
12/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lacklustre campaign in the main but he has a reduced mark to work with as a result and was an encouraging seventh of 21 in a first-time visor (retained) at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday, when suffering interference and away from the main action; ran two big races here last autumn; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
7th 11 (15) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Twice a course winner, including over this trip; started his campaign with a promising run at Beverley but three lacklustre runs have followed; well handicapped if the addition of a visor sparks a revival. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No win since May 2025 (Thirsk) but is rated 14lb lower as a result; had every chance when fourth of ten at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; beaten over 6l) 17 days ago; more required here with Paul Mulrennan back aboard. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole start here saw him finish eighth in the 2023 edition of this; picked up a Thirsk handicap last May but no wins since and his last two efforts have been modest, albeit he fluffed the start last time; career-low mark. |
11/1 |
|
10th 3 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Lacks consistency now and has become hard to win with; down to a career-low mark but his record here is far from exciting and he's some way down the pecking order. |

Won twice for previous trainers; sold for 27,000gns to join current yard in August but was beaten 14l on stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good) two weeks ago; may need to come down the weights. |
20/1 |

4 (11) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Of interest on his best form for previous connections; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he is drawn wide now starting out for Ian Williams (sold for 27,000gns in August). |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up in the 2022 running in sole C&D start; has dropped back to just below his winning mark at Beverley (about 7f; made all in four-runner race) in July but not in much form since; now goes in a visor (won in cheekpieces much earlier in career); revival needed. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Smart 2yo, including third place in the Coventry Stakes; slow start to 2025 but he has run creditably in deep 3yo handicaps on his last two starts; something bigger could be brewing. |
12/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Record of 0-7 since debut win; had Group form last year but isn't particularly solid on 2025 handicap results, for all that the latest seemed encouraging; James Doyle prefers the other Wathnan Racing runner. |
20/1 |
|
8 (6) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Third in last season's Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and followed that with fourth in the Superlative Stakes at this meeting; well beaten in three handicap runs this year, the latest behind Hucklesbrook last month, and a further 4lb drop in the weights isn't enough to tempt. |

6f winner at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; posted another good effort when runner-up at Epsom in August; only eighth of 11 at Hamilton (6f) last time but he's the sort to bounce back. |
11/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Bagged a pair of 6f handicaps at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; comes here on the back of a very good nose second of eight in 6f Epsom handicap a week ago; another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Began this season with two wins, latterly when holding on by a short head to make all over C&D (good) in early July; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but returns here after a respectable eighth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has an excellent record at Ayr and it was a shame that he was drawn on the other side to the narrow winner when leading home his group in the Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last week; back up 3lb which won't be beyond him if he copes with this track at the first attempt. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Inconsistent and winless this year and well beaten at York (6f, good to firm) recently; however, that was more competitive than this and two starts ago he ran well when third of 17 at Ayr (6f, good); may have a chance. |
6/1 |

Two 6f wins earlier in career but he does most of his racing over 5f these days; some promise over that trip at Hamilton in August but he hasn't looked like coining in on a favourable mark since; remains with queries. |

9st 12lb |
Won on 2yo debut at Ayr (6f, good) in July 2024 but he's 0-18 since and was always in rear at Southwell three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but he needs a transformation back on turf; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since his 2yo debut and with his fourth yard already; signs of life on debut for his new trainer at York and this is easier on his AW debut (brother to a dual course winner), so he is one to consider off a career-low mark under experienced 5lb claimer Cian Horgan. |
16/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Hard to fancy on recent efforts with no better than a tenth-placed finish in his last five starts; however, he could be revived by a recent stable switch (from Seb Spencer) and he's fully 18lb lower than when eighth in the 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last summer; worth monitoring in the market. |
