3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Hard to fault on 6f handicap form this year, as when just losing out in both the Wokingham over this C&D and the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood; the return to a bare 6f will suit after running over slightly further at Doncaster last month but this calls for more back in Group company. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Came from the rear for a head second in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (head second) and very close fourth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, both 6f on good to firm; there's a bit more to be proved on this likely surface and beyond 6f but he has to be high up the list. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Record of 2-13 on turf and 0-4 on AW; gained sole handicap win off current mark and Jack Dace takes off a bonus 5lb tonight; not without a chance, provided new headgear prompts a return to peak form. |

17th 6 (5) |
2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Started the season with a C&D win on good in May; also a good third over C&D (good to firm) in July; one of his slowish starts left him with too much ground to make up over 5f at the Shergar Cup here last time but he finished strongly and needs considering back at 6f. |

5th 9 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
His 2026 form is unconvincing; the step back up in trip may suit (last two starts at 5f) but not a solid option. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
His 2026 form is unconvincing and the drop back to 5f didn't help at Goodwood last week; dropping down the weights but not a solid option. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
3-27 overall on turf (minor honours both starts here) but there were two turf wins this spring; needs to bounce back from two modest displays. |
20/1 |

16th 12 (13) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming. |
16/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won over 5f early in his career but has raced exclusively over 6f for the past two years, latterly when winning here for Harry Vigors (then claiming 7lb) off 3lb lower in April; goes well fresh but another furlong would have been ideal round here. |

1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead; five AW wins at 6f and 5f; has settled into a handicapping groove since the latest of them in February and although he wasn't far away under Harry Vigors at Wolverhampton (6f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) 11 days ago he isn't obviously ahead of his mark. |
9/4 |

3rd 2 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth win on the AW when landing a class 4 handicap at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in February; below his best in two starts since and now has blinkers on for the first time (replacing cheekpieces). |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent during last AW season and returned from break with two low-key turf runs in June/July but this C&D suits him well and he's dangerous to ignore off career-low mark. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent during the AW season and made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance when midfield over C&D (soft) last month; on another career-low mark today but needs that recent run to have brought him on. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing sequence but seemed rejuvenated by the refitting of a hood when a good third of ten in 7f Beverley handicap last month, nearest finish having had to wait for a run over 1f out; course winner who is effective over this shorter trip and a likely player off a reduced mark. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |

Hurtling down the weights but for good reason as this multiple winner is looking very regressive. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Fully 15lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) last December but this 9yo has regressed in recent months; has to turn things around. |
