1st 17 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Won at Kempton (6f, AW) last month before near-miss at Epsom (6f, good), and back on the scoresheet with ready win here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; under a 3lb penalty this progressive 3yo is 5lb ahead of the handicapper today, and he showed promise over 7f last season; major player. |

1st 12 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Novice and nursery-winning juvenile (6f, good to firm) who often didn't have things go his way subsequently until he won going away at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; wasn't totally handling the track when narrow second at Epsom last Wednesday and he's an obvious contender off this mark (due a 2lb rise). |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Novice and nursery-winning juvenile (6f, good to firm) who often didn't have things go his way subsequently until he won going away at Kempton (6f, AW) three weeks ago; up 6lb but he's shaped like a smart horse waiting to happen on occasions and maybe that was the start of it. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Brighton (7f, good to firm) in August on second start, then went close in warm novice here (1m, good to firm); bounced back from heavy Group 2 defeat when fourth of seven in Newmarket nursery (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and it's possible she'll have more to offer now back here. |
14/1 |

5 (7) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month on second start then went close in Goodwood novice (1m, good to firm); tailed off at 80-1 in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) recently but today's assignment is far more realistic and the Goodwood form has worked out extremely well. |
20/1 |
|
7 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Thrice-raced filly who went close in small-field novice event at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) most recently, showing that her 40-1 win at Brighton was no fluke; however, looks well below Group class. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Scored on his AW debut here (7f) in June 2025; has been campaigned exclusively on turf since and won at Goodwood (7f, good) last October; hasn't been in the same form this year and is tried in new headgear (cheekpieces); well-handicapped if he can get his act together back on AW. |
8/1 |
|
6th 12 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has failed to improve for a visor but ran respectably last time and is nicely treated assuming the switch to blinkers works a treat; gained sole handicap win off 4lb higher last October. |
20/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice over 7f on good/AW last year; reappeared with a promising fourth at Newbury in May, but he hasn't matched that form in three starts since; now drops back in grade but he needs to turn things around. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-8 but he's run some good races, including placing in 7f handicaps in December; competitive from this mark but might be vulnerable to improvers. |
6/1 |
|
5 (4) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Attractively bred grey who has improved with each of his four starts and was a close second on nursery debut at Epsom a fortnight ago (7f, good; unraced on softer), despite pulling hard; contender up 2lb. |
5/1 |
|
6 (1) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Handicap debutant who looks fairly solid, having made the frame over 7f on turf/AW the last twice; in good hands and may be capable of progress at this level; one to consider. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this year (7f-1m2f) have hit his handicap mark but again ran well off this one when a close third at Redcar last month; unlikely to be far away. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Comfortably won a C&D apprentice event under Conor Whiteley in July; unpenalised when he followed up in three-runner Newmarket handicap (1m2f, also good to firm) the following week; new 10lb higher mark has kicked in but he's respected in the hat-trick bid. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Had been looking exposed until upped to this trip (ran right away with a Redcar handicap nine days ago); no penalty for that apprentice-race win and will be fully 9lb higher from tomorrow, so his claims are obvious. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Regressive ten-race maiden who has finished down the field in his last five handicaps; now 16lb lower than for his opening mark but he has plenty to prove at this new trip; first-time cheekpieces replace a visor. |
13/2 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden; reappearance was his best show this term and, having had four starts since, it's hard to get excited about his chance today despite the falling mark; first wore a visor on latest outing. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Inconsistent maiden who faded late on his first run at beyond 7f when behind Flyta at Windsor a fortnight ago; much will hinge on how he responds to first-time headgear down another 3lb. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins over 7f; has run well in two starts here this year at 1m (good to firm) and 6f (good to soft), but looks to have her share of weight for a competitive race like this. |
14/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; added to her AW win last summer when scoring over C&D in July and she gave it a good shot from the front when third at Salisbury (6f) last week; looks fairly exposed after 13 starts but she should be in the mix again. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 11 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Runner-up twice in a row in June (7f/1m, soft/good to firm; including here) before winning at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July; down the field at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago when pulling hard but it's possible today's first attempt at 6f will be a good move. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't progressed from a promising debut second at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in August on his two runs since (6f, good to firm/good) but there have been firm hints that this step up to 7f will help on nursery debut. |
5/1 |

4th 3 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

Has made the frame in 6f events on good to firm ground at Haydock (second behind a subsequent scorer) and Newmarket (rallying fourth); one of the main form contenders. |
7/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

45,000gns yearling from the family of Haydock Sprint Cup winner The Tin Man; 9-2 at Haydock (6f, good to firm) and finished an encouraging second after getting the hang of things late on; the winner had the benefit of experience; must be considered. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lost her first eight races but has won two of her last three, the wins over C&D (soft/good); midfield at Glorious Goodwood but still ran well to be only 3l off the principals; looks a key player. |
2/1 |
|
7th 11 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Took nine attempts to get off the mark but now bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Chester (7.5f; soft/good); up another 5lb but still one for the shortlist now that something has clearly clicked. |

Course winner; in good form until tried in cheekpieces (retained) when ninth of 12 in 1m3f handicap at Kempton 26 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

Proved resurgent at Kempton (1m4f) in the latest start of his light 2026 campaign; scored off current mark on final 2yo start; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |
9/1 |

4th 11 (2) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |

Pretty rare 2yo winner for Hughie Morrison just before Christmas (9.4f); gelded after; no real sign he's trained on and has stamina to prove. |
