5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Very hit and miss across his four starts this season and well beaten at York (2m, good) last month; however, he's posted two comfortable wins in small fields this term (1m4f/2m, good/soft) and this two-time course winner is not written off with the forecast slow ground in his favour. |
20/1 |

13th 9 (7) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only his second attempt over this far in a 31-race career came at Goodwood (soft) ten weeks ago when he came from the rear in a six-runner race to win by 5l; 6lb higher today (with more to prove if the ground is firmer than good) but new horizons as a stayer have been opened up. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Had a 1m4f win for Mick Appleby last September and another for Henrietta Knight at Thirsk this April; however, no show in a more competitive race on latest start, has never won over further than 1m4f and, although probably stays 1m6f, his sole attempt at 2m (final start last term) was not persuasive. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
11st 5lb |
Flat winner showed little in maiden hurdles and similar story on handicap debut at Killarney when he never travelled; eased 2lb and blinkers now tried. |
33/1 |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 6lb |
Flat winner on fast ground for David O'Meara; huge odds and well held in three maiden hurdles for this yard at 2m-2m1f; potential improver stepped up in trip for handicap debut. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner has been soundly beaten at long odds in maiden hurdles at Killarney and Ballinrobe; will do better when handicapping. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Often leads; unbeaten 3-3 on the AW but his most recent Flat win came on turf, at Sandown (1m6f, good) last July; was all the better for a break when going close at Lingfield (1m6f, good to firm) this month and seemed to handle good to soft ground over hurdles; thereabouts. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Turf/AW/hurdle winner; ran well over jumps during the winter but trailed in last on his return to the Flat at Goodwood where he ran in snatches; that was unlike him and he could bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
10th 1 (4) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
The last of four Flat wins was over this trip at Sandown last summer (good; 5lb lower); has since racked up a solid sequence over hurdles; in form, consistent and respected. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |
16/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has posted good efforts in 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood and 1m3f Group 3 at Carlisle this term, maintaining her solid record and steadily progressive RPRs; new rating gives her a leading chance in this field. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Improving with virtually every run, and was even better than the bare result when second in Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good; came from a long way back) four weeks ago; up in grade again but still has more in the tank and not to be underestimated. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Proved most progressive last season when a dual 1m4f AW handicap scorer in the autumn; steps up in grade here but she's capable of further improvement. |
14/1 |
Verdict
The 1m6f Sandown 3yo handicap SCARLET MOON won last month looks solid form so he’s narrowly preferred to last-time-out course scorer Ancient Myth. [Andrew Sheret]
