13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Three-time AW scorer who prevailed at Ascot (1m, good to firm) back on turf last time, looking better than ever, and remains unexposed in this sphere; upped in class but receives weight all round; possible danger. |

1st 11 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won three handicaps on the AW in January 2025 (1m-1m2f) and showed that he's still on a fair mark with a second at Kempton on final run this January; however, this is tougher than he's accustomed to and has to prove himself on turf. |

Reeled off a quick hat-trick last January (1m-1m2f); absent for ten months afterwards and finished well beaten on his reappearance; latest Lingfield run was better and he could be building up to something bigger. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins have been on Newcastle AW but he's still lightly raced on turf; finished in mid-division in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot (7f) last time but he was runner-up in a Class 3 there (1m, good to firm) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back up in trip. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has gained all wins on Newcastle AW, the most recent on finals day last year; however, ran well at Ascot (1m, good to firm) returned to turf last time, taking form figures in this sphere to 3232; seems effective over 7f and may remain competitive. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won early this year on first three runs for James Horton (7f/1m, AW) before good third here (1m, good to firm) and a fifth of seven at Sandown (1m, good); won at Kempton (1m, AW) next time; could give a good account but he's 6-9 on AW as opposed to 0-10 on turf, which tempers enthusiasm. |
20/1 |
|
1st 1 (14) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hugely progressive for his new stable at the start of the year, winning handicaps at Southwell (7f/1m) before completing his hat-trick at Newcastle (1m); beaten on turf twice since but he is 0-10 in that sphere as opposed to 5-8 on AW; drawn widest but still of some interest. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-11 for this yard and the form he showed in initial outings last summer has not been repeated; accelerating down the weights, which gives him a chance on this year's form even, but others are more convincing. |
12/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-10 for this yard and the form he showed in initial outings last summer has not been repeated; edging down the weights but the jockey here on penultimate start reported that he hung badly; others are more convincing. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has some back-class but now 0-9 for this yard after beating one home on his return to 1m2f at Windsor 18 days ago; on the plus side, this bigger field might be more to his liking and in two previous visits to Sandown he's finished first and third; no surprise if he went well under Oisin Murphy, under whom he was fourth in last year's Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (on soft). |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Generally in good form, mostly on AW, for current stable and latest effort is best forgiven (race didn't pan out favourably); not disgraced in most recent turf attempt but is still seeking a first success in this sphere and is somewhat hostage to fortune the way he races. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Both wins have been on AW and he went close in his bid for a double at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; never involved back on turf at Ascot in May but he started slowly and was hampered at a crucial stage; now goes back up in grade but he has possibilities back on Tapeta. |
15/2 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2-16 but his third trainer has him in career-best form and didn't get the breaks when a closing fourth at Newcastle last time (1m); hold-up performer who needs a good pace to chase and if getting one he'll be dangerous. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Gained most recent success in AW Vase race on Good Friday; has steadily got back into the swing of turf racing and went very close at Thirsk (7f) last Saturday, running at least as well as he's ever done; the signs are positive. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 (13) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and achieved his best result of this turf season when close fourth of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; he might not be far away. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Won a 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off this mark; another solid effort when a close sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; more needed to come out on top here. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Both his wins have come on the AW but he wasn't disgraced when eighth of 17 on turf at York (7f, good; 22-1) four weeks ago; stepping back up to 1m should be a help; each-way possibilities. |
12/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Both his wins have come on AW but he handles turf, albeit best grass runs have come on good going; two disappointing efforts since his Southwell win in April and others are more convincing. |

12th 10 (12) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has gained both wins on AW, including on reappearance; has bits of fairly useful form on turf but produced one of his lesser efforts last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred. |

9st 11lb |
Just 1-18 on turf and is hard to predict but he finished a fair third over this trip at Brighton (good to firm) last Sunday; could be dangerous if he can back that up but he still has something to prove on slow ground. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |

Three wins last year, two on the AW (2-4 on sand); good fourth of ten at Newmarket (7f, good) in June but he's been below his best in two starts since; may do better returned to this surface. |

Won twice at around 1m on turf last year; ended that campaign with two lesser efforts and he hasn't found his best in three runs this year; opposable despite his slipping mark. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Last year's wins were at about 1m and hasn't raced over 7f since his debut; quiet this season after a gelding operation and others appeal more; cheekpieces, in which he has form figures of 100, now return. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All seven wins have been on the AW, two of them over C&D, but his last three runs have been abysmal; perhaps he'll be freshened up by ten weeks off but he's difficult to recommend. |
33/1 |
|
10th 7 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
All seven wins have been on AW and latest was over C&D in January; found more progress when a close third off this mark at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in April but he's been tailed off back on turf in last two runs; now returns to scene of his last success but he needs to bounce back near best. |
16/1 |

22th 7 (22) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Seven-time AW scorer, mainly over 1m, most recently in January; latest effort (failed to beat a rival) took turf record to 0-16; enough to prove back over 7f for first time in five years. |
