23rd Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Useful sort whose handicap form features 1m wins on turf last September and AW penultimate start; below-par third in 1m1f Listed contest in France latest; worth another crack at this grade but possibly isn't crying out for the further increase in distance. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground debut winner who comfortably landed a Doncaster handicap (1m, good) last September; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he's been beaten 11l and 18l in Listed events in his last two starts; has bit to prove after another break and he's untried on AW. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten at Sandown in June on sole outing this year and he refused to enter the stalls and was withdrawn there last month; however, he's 2lb lower than when second in this race last year so is capable of having a say. |
20/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
0-13 since debut success in 2021; didn't show much on reappearance but he comes into the reckoning on his second to an improver at Doncaster (1m, good) last autumn and he's now 2lb lower. |
33/1 |
|
10th 1 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Capable of very useful form, such as keeping-on second off current mark at Doncaster (1m, good) when last seen nine months ago; just looks far from certain to go one better, being 0-12 since debut success in 2021. |

Made the frame a few times last autumn but hasn't been in the same form in two outings this term; doesn't look as if he's about to end a losing spell that goes back almost four years. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |

Acts on good to firm and heavy; on a competitive mark on last year's best efforts but he's without a win since September 2022 and finished merely in mid-division on reappearance in the Lincoln here in March (unseated rider on the way to post); others are more persuasive. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |
15/2 |

11th 2 (1) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Made it two wins for the year when scoring on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last month and denied a clear run when close second off this mark at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) latest; up in grade this afternoon but this progressive 4yo is 2lb well in and is not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
He's added two wins at about 1m (good and good to firm) this year and wasn't seen to best advantage at Goodwood on Sunday, unable to get a clear run until the birds ahead had flown; capable of better on this quick return. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Raised only 2lb for his wins at Nottingham in May and Newmarket last time, so looks likely to remain competitive, especially as he's a dual Goodwood scorer. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
1m1f winner at York in June but disappointing at Sandown next time on his only attempt at 1m2f; respectable efforts (1m1f/1m) on his last two starts, the latest on good to soft when wearing first-time cheekpieces, but he needs to find a bit extra. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Seems well suited by York and followed an encouraging reappearance there with a big-field win over this trip (good; effective on heavy) on that course in June; perhaps has share of weight now but a return to 1m and the fitting of cheekpieces could spice things up. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |

Showed improved form when beating 15 rivals to land a 0-85 York handicap in June (1m1f, good) but he disappointed when favourite at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; may be capable of bouncing back. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
His win in the Leger Legends 0-70 classified event at Doncaster (1m, good) three weeks ago came a little out of the blue but the form has worked out, with the second and fourth winning since; only nudged up 1lb and has won back to back before; considered. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fairly useful on his day and this assignment is a drop in class; however, has a doubt over current form, having posted duck eggs in last three appearances; revival is required. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won over Chester's extended 7f in May and ran well in the Bunbury Cup in July; however, he was well held in France last time and his AW record leaves a bit to be desired; needs the first-time tongue-strap (replacing cheekpieces) to have a positive effect. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Performed well (first and third) at Chester in last two turf attempts and may be capable of further progress returned to this sphere; helps to give his connections, who also run Aalto, a robust hand. |
9/1 |

7th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Good effort to win a 7.6f handicap at Chester on his reappearance and he ran to a similar level when third back there (7f) four weeks ago; today's stiffer test at the trip will suit and he has shown promise on AW. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Well held in three turf handicaps (Class 3) this season but he's 2-3 on AW and his last win was off just 1lb higher over C&D last November; with another new yard (changed hands for £16,000) but it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back on Polytrack. |

Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |

Two quick runs at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago, beaten only 2l when fifth of 20 on the Wednesday (7f, good to firm) then seventh of 18 in the Golden Mile on the Friday (good to firm) when he would have been closer with a clear run; it's possible he'll be involved; unproven on slow ground. |

Progressive hurdler when last seen in 2023, although below best on final start that September; had smart AW form in Group 3 and Listed 1m2f races for Roger Varian earlier and his mark has dropped 8lb since last seen on the Flat; fascinating to see how the betting goes back from absence. |
