16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Ridden this season by Lauren Young; won at Musselburgh (1m4f) and Hamilton (1m3f) on first two starts, with a good third at Thirsk (1m4f) next time, all on good ground; shaped as if still in form in a steadily run race on latest outing; this good season (better than 2025) has been over much shorter but he did win this race on good to firm in 2024; not dismissed. |

6th 10 (12) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |

He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good) before good third at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last time; he'll be fine at this longer trip, and also if slow ground prevails; could be bang there. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m4f, good) in April; beaten a head at Chester (1m4f, good) last month and again finished second at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; ran well over an extended 2m at York last season and could be involved. |

2nd 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well. |

Drops back in trip/grade having never landed a blow in the Northumberland Vase last time; broadly consistent otherwise this term and won at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April; 4lb higher now, though. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
0-14 on Flat turf and a beaten favourite at Musselburgh two weeks ago; his hurdles record (2-7) is better but he had no obvious excuse when fifth to Indemnity at Plumpton (33-1) last month; others appeal more. |
20/1 |

3rd 2 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won on Kempton AW (1m3f; not proven over this far) in February and latest start was up with his best hurdles form; 0-13 on Flat turf but that includes five seconds. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice early-season and better again when second in classy small-field races at Cheltenham and Wincanton, the latest a Grade 2; returned from a break with a win on the AW so his run in the Morebattle at Kelso goes down as disappointing; the return of a hood is no bad thing; enjoys good ground. |

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. |
100/30 |

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. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Reliable and progressive on a variety of ground and courses, although has never raced at Newmarket; third in this race last year; hit new heights at Epsom (1m4f) on last two outings and makes each-way appeal. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-8; finished fourth of 15 on her third start for the yard at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; 50-1) last time, but was still 15l behind the winner; another 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |
25/1 |

4th 9 (11) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Showed ability in Irish maidens for Noel Meade but yet to get going in two starts for this yard, latterly in a hood (now removed) at Thirsk last month; this is just her third handicap but it's a tough one in which to stage a revival. |
40/1 |
|
9th 11 (9) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Ran in five maidens in Ireland for Noel Meade, finishing second on the final occasion (1m4f, heavy); has also shown promise on good ground; she could improve for last month's stable/seasonal debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) but was soundly beaten and others have more pressing claims; a hood goes on. |

Record of 3-33 on turf; good third at Doncaster in July (1m, good to firm) but well beaten last time (1m2f, good to firm); lacks consistency. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
13-race maiden; beaten less than 2l when fourth at Ayr last time (1m2f, good to soft; second run after wind op); fair run in first-time cheekpieces in June and they are tried for the second time; each-way chance. |
8/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; didn't run badly when sixth over C&D (good to firm; first run after wind op) three weeks ago and continues to slip down the weights, but needs to find something extra today. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

11-race maiden; only one effort of note since joining Jim Goldie but he drops into his first 0-60 having undergone wind surgery since last seen; interesting to see how strong he is in the market. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Won over C&D in March and runs off the same mark here; however, soundly beaten on last three starts on turf so return to the AW needs to revive. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

AW winner over 10.5f in March and her higher-grade third at Naas was a good effort; 1m4f has seemed a bridge too far, though, and long way behind Masego over that trip at Bellewstown; excuse for latest run (1m2f) at Navan. |

8st 10lb |
Runner-up at York (16.2f, good to firm) last month and good third to Vaguely Royal there (16.2f, good to firm) last time; this in-form 4yo has an each-way shout once more. |
9/1 |

3rd 11 (11) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He's gradually worked his way back into form for his new yard this year, finishing second over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; one to consider. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 10 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Won handicap debut for Ed Walker off 4lb higher last September (extended 1m3f, heavy); got closer to that level in on his last two runs for his new connections and seemed to stay 2m at Chester last time, but he was only fifth of seven in that race and others have more pressing claims. |
