10th 8 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Recorded narrow wins on his final start of last year at York (1m2f, good) and on his Chester reappearance (1m2f, good) in May, but held in last two starts including when behind King's Code back at Chester; half-brother to an AW winner, but he needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (6) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ended last season with big-field win at York (1m2f, good) in the autumn and posted another career-best performance when leading close home over C&D (good) on reappearance outing in May; ought to have been suited by the good to soft ground when well beaten in valuable Espom handicap on Oaks day but still enters calculations on return to this track. |
11/2 |
|
14th 14 (14) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden in 2023 but peak efforts have been on good in the last 13 months; unraced here but scored twice over 1m2f at the similar Chester track, including on his only start this season; all three handicap wins were in tight finishes, but he's gone up just 3lb since latest and is likely to be seriously involved if he goes on the ground. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Back to form with a bang when scoring comfortably over C&D (good to firm) six weeks ago, his 20th outing at this track; retains handicapping scope on old form after a 6lb rise but he's yet to win back to back. |
16/1 |

1st 4 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His 19 course starts have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023 but he hasn't been at his best on turf here the last twice; back on a good mark but need to see more. |
20/1 |

12th 14 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
18 starts here have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023, although he wasn't at his best when beating one home in this race last year; in fair form over this trip on AW in the spring but his return to turf, when beaten 8l over 1m4f here one month ago, will need improving on. |

9st 9lb |
Ex-William Haggas; followed up his easy Leicester win in June (1m2f, good; made virtually all) by finishing runner-up off a 10lb higher mark at Goodwood last month; up another 3lb and tries 1m4f for the first time; interesting. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 14 (8) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
1-8 for William Haggas; second run for new connections when he resumed improvement to make all in ten-runner race at Leicester (1m2f, good; acts on good to firm) in June, well clear through the final 2f; those wins are two of the four times he's made the running, which will be more difficult in this larger field and after a 10lb rise but he looked good last time. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
After wind surgery it was a much better effort on his third start of this year when down in grade and attracting support before third of seven at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; has form on good to soft (no worse) and warrants a second look despite an unhelpful draw. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to go on from his reappearance when only tenth in 1m4f York handicap in May; has since undergone wind surgery though so last year's winner can't be discounted now back off the same mark. |
5/1 |

10th 11 (15) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

10/1 |
|
7th 3 (14) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Six-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Southwell off this mark in November; runner-up off a 4lb lower mark in this race in 2024 but he hasn't threatened in three starts this year; others make more appeal. |
25/1 |
|
13th 2 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Course winner (1m, good) last summer and signed off 2025 with 1m success at Southwell; better effort this year when respectable seventh of 11 at Beverley (7.5f, good) a fortnight ago; may come on again. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |
20/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Below par on AW last time; largely respectable form on turf otherwise this season, notably Windsor success in August; possibly has very little in hand off current mark, however. |
14/1 |
|
10 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

4 (8) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

Back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month; only sixth off this mark at Redcar last Saturday but the fact he won this race off 2lb higher last year provides hope; draw could have been kinder. |

9st 4lb |
Landed a Southwell maiden (1m3f, AW; 30-100) in August, but held in three starts back in handicaps since (in blinkers last time); has raced freely, but he may settle better in a bigger field and this race has gone to a 3yo three times in the last six years. |

5th 4 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 14 months ago; now 8lb lower after some disappointing efforts but last time's fourth at Beverley in June could be viewed as a step back in the right direction. |

5th 1 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; keeping on (although still had a fair bit of ground to make up) when clipping heels and coming down 1f out at York last Saturday; 9lb higher than at Redcar but still a potential class act at this level if that nasty experience last weekend hasn't left a mark. |

Took her Flat turf record to 7-29 when staying on to score at Windsor (11.5f, soft; 25-1) 17 days ago; despite her age she's not fully exposed at this sort of trip and a 2lb nudge looks workable; respected. |

Three wins over 7f/1m on good and soft ground in the summer of 2024; looked about ready to strike when second of 12 at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June and now 3lb lower, but modest in both starts since; something to prove attempting this far for the first time. |

Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |

9st 12lb |
Won twice in a higher grade (1m4f) during opening half of 2022 and he's back on a good mark; however, asking a lot to win this after such a long period on the sidelines; has been gelded. |
