10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
This step up in trip is not sure to suit but he arrived late on the scene to win handicaps at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and Sandown (1m, good) on his first two outings this year and came from last in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, finishing 12th of 30 overall but second of those who had raced far side; probably remains in form. |

12th 7 (16) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won on good to firm here on debut but bypassed the Silver Bowl at Carlisle last month on account of those conditions; he'd probably run well if okay on this surface, having gone 2-2 since being gelded and last time at Sandown (1m, good) looking good value for his narrow defeat of Organise. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Looked fortunate to win at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July on debut; third of five in a novice on the July Course here (1m, good to firm) in August but, having been gelded, failed to stay in a nursery at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; drop back in trip may help but others are more solid. |
5/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Both starts on good to firm; fortuitous winner at Sandown (7f; runner-up unlucky) but wasn't disgraced under a penalty at Newmarket (1m); gelded since; this Godolphin runner remains open to progress and must go on the shortlist. |
5/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
13-2 and the apparent stable second-string when winning on last month's debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm); the unlucky runner-up has since gone one better; now carries a penalty against some interesting opponents but this half-brother to a Group 3 winner could have lots more to offer. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent nursery form features a win at Leicester (7f) in August and close second at York (1m) last time; chance of defying these stiffer terms depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
11/1 |

2 (1) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won three-runner nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in August and ran okay when fourth of eight at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; however, he needs a bigger run today against some unexposed rivals. |
5/1 |
|
3 (8) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Close second at Doncaster (good to soft) and game winner at Leicester (good to firm) since switched to nurseries, both over 7f; raised only 1lb for latest performance and may remain competitive. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Broadly inconsistent and 0-14 since completing a novice double as a 2yo; has posted three duck eggs since going close at Ripon in July; may benefit from drop back to 7f but others hold stronger claims. |
33/1 |
|
12th 11 (2) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent and 0-13 since her 2yo novice double; went close at Ripon in July but has posted duck eggs in bigger fields at York since; opposed in this reasonably competitive affair. |
25/1 |
|
12th 11 (19) |
6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Down the field in hot 3yo handicap over C&D (good to soft) at the Ebor meeting and it will be a concern if slow ground prevails again; however, he drops back down in grade today and he's well handicapped on the pick of his course form; not discounted. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
3yo who continued his progressive ways when overcoming trouble in running to win a competitive handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm); finished last in a Group 3 at Windsor (1m2f, good) subsequently but could bounce back with a big performance returned to a handicap. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Progressive handicapper who overcame plenty of trouble in running when winning over 1m1f at Goodwood (good to firm) last month; he looked on the upgrade there and although he has plenty to find on these terms it's possible he'll improve again and outrun his odds. |
18/1 |
|
1st 12 (14) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Third to Blue Courvoisier in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May and bounced back from Royal Ascot defeat (drawn on the wrong side) for clear second at Ascot (1m, good to firm), when a nose behind Ciarrai Abu who followed up here on Thursday; he should stay this far, and this progressive 3yo could be on an advantageous mark up 4lb since last time. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with three wins; completed his four-timer when getting up late to land a handicap at Chester (7.6f, good) in May; that performance was more convincing than the winning margin might indicate and this 4lb higher mark should be in range; gelded since last seen; obvious chance. |
100/30 |
|
1st 8 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has a record of 3-5 overall and 2-2 since handicapping, most recently beating sole rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) seven months ago; beat a total of 16 opponents in gaining his other wins; major contender, with further improvement plausible. |
4/1 |

6 (3) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Brings strong form having made his first two starts in races won by the subsequent Solario winner; off the mark at Ffos Las (7.4f, good) since and looks the type to do well in handicaps, with further improvement on the cards; respected. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Best effort when fourth at Ffos Las (7.4f) on penultimate outing; opening mark doesn't look generous but improvement is possible switched to nursery level; market support should be heeded. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Green on debut at Ascot (7f; 11-1) last month but showed the benefit of that experience when fourth at Ffos Las (7.5f; 3-1) 15 days ago; respected on switch to AW. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
11-1 when ninth of 14 on debut at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; however, that performance wasn't without promise and his useful pedigree provides optimism he'll be capable of considerably better; trainer is in excellent form (including with 2yos) and he could have a part to play. |

10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Supplemented last year's AW win with straightforward success at Newmarket (1m, good); a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging and encouraging that he can cope with undulations (unraced here). |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but ran well before fading into fourth over C&D (good) in June and returns here after keeping on well for second in tactical race at Ffos Las (1m, good) ten days ago; still on a workable mark; might be the answer. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sometimes races a bit too freely but ran well before fading into fourth of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) in June and is now 3lb lower than when placed at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; good chance. |
