22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Went close at Yarmouth (1m, soft) on his final start for George Boughey and can have a line put through his stable debut here over 7f having lost his position when hampered; 3-5 on the AW and can't be dismissed. |

11th 2 (7) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
3-4 on the AW and was only beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m, soft) last time; makes his stable debut after 78 days off having changed hands for 20,000gns last month, but a stiffer test than this may suit him better now. |

Only 3-39 but placed plenty of times; a greater concern would be his recent efforts and cheekpieces are now turned to. |

6th 8 (11) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three course wins (6f-1m) and a multitude of placed efforts, including a close third to Saytaar (Harry The Rogue second) over C&D in March; has struggled on turf in his last three appearances (7.5f-1m2f) but his mark has eased accordingly. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well over C&D (good to firm) in July triggered a career-high mark off which he's struggled the last twice; only 1lb lower here and others are preferred again. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |
14/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Highly reliable in the last two seasons and he's never been better than in recent outings, mostly at 1m4f but also over 1m2f at Glorious Goodwood on penultimate start; should be bang there. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Had three of these behind when winning this last year off 11lb lower (good to firm); looks even better now, probably not seen to best effect behind Sportingsilvermine at Newmarket before a sterling effort at Glorious Goodwood over an inadequate 1m2f; likes it here and he's hard to knock. |

3rd 10 (11) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Runner-up in 2024 on his only appearance at this track; reliable sort who hit new heights over 1m4f on last three outings, so this drop back in trip asks a question but he needs respect. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
She produced a positive performance at Royal Ascot and is now 7lb lower but three lesser runs have followed and she needs to raise her game; 4-29 on AW as opposed to 0-13 on turf. |
9/1 |
|
8th 13 (10) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
She's 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February and when running well at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; she's 0-12 on turf and unproven at this trip, and she's been below par at favourite course Newcastle on her last two starts (1m). |
50/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Took this in 2025 and also scored over C&D in February; not at her best when 11th over C&D last time but she's the sort to bounce back. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A five-time AW winner, he shaped as if in need of the run when fourth on his first turf Flat run since 2023 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) last month; this should put him right for an AW campaign this autumn. |
9/1 |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
AW regular whose only turf run since 2023 was over hurdles; gave good account when midfield in valuable Lingfield handicap (1m4f) on Good Friday but doesn't look the percentage call on first start for 169 days. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Proved suited by the return to prominent tactics and held on narrowly in Class 4 contest over C&D (heavy) eight days ago, taking Hamilton record to 3-4; incurs 5lb penalty back up in grade but remains well handicapped on peak form; respected. |

20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |

Dual course winner during his progressive spell a long while ago; out of the frame in selling handicap last weekend and current mark reflects a broad decline in his form. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |

C&D winner in May and also runner-up here in June/July (all good to firm; won on soft in Ireland earlier in career); has ended the summer in equally good form, including getting his head back in front at Newcastle (1m) 12 days ago but he's yet to win back to back in his 54-race career. |
