3rd 5 (3) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Two 6f AW wins as a juvenile and he nearly pulled off a step up in trip when going down narrowly at Chester (extended 7f, good) in May; had no chance of getting involved after getting badly hampered on the rail at Epsom in June; gelded since; open to some improvement but he's another trying a new trip. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who went beyond 6f for the first time when going close at Chester (7.5f, good) last month; has also shown promise on good to soft ground; unexposed at this sort of trip and could be involved. |
14/1 |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Campaigned only at 6f, mostly on AW (admittedly went close in sole turf attempt); soundly beaten on finals day at Newcastle most recently; 0-3 since handicapping and now goes into unknown territory trip-wise. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Highly tried last year; has shown this mark is within range since handicapping this season, including from wide stalls at Chester; again might have been better drawn on this AW debut (dam did her winning for the yard on turf) in first-time headgear. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr a year ago but he made a bold bid from the front when second in a quite valuable handicap over 7.5f here (good to soft) a fortnight ago; same mark today and dangerous if able to get loose on the front end again. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr about a year ago but he was set some tall orders for the remainder of last term and his reappearance/handicap debut here (also 6f, good) was encouraging; didn't build on that next time, though, and he's just 1lb lower. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
No wins since a promising debut success at Leicester last May and he failed to build on a fairly encouraging stable debut/reappearance in April when never a threat at Goodwood (7f) seven weeks ago; needs to stage a revival on this first go at 1m. |
20/1 |
|
10th 11 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Record of 0-6 since debut success but he has a notable piece of course form, namely close second in nursery at last year's Glorious Goodwood; could go well returned to this venue with Newbury reappearance (stable debut) under his belt. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Finished a close third in a hot race at Ascot last April (closely matched with Angel Of Anfield) on his second start and had little trouble in seeing off eight rivals in a 7f maiden here last October; his two runs since, seven months apart, have resulted in heavy defeats; drops in class and could make a bold bid back on AW with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
7/1 |
|
13th 10 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Absent and gelded since finishing last in valuable event at Ascot on Champions Day; scored readily at Kempton (AW; sole 7f attempt) earlier in October when back from a layoff, and that performance bodes well for him being fresh; may do better still. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Came good in a small-field novice at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in May but finished well behind a couple of these in the Sandringham here since; others make more appeal. |
20/1 |
|
28th 14 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Close up behind Zooming in a novice race last season; ran well in her handicap (1m, good) on penultimate start but was only fourth and it was a small field she disposed of back in a novice at Leicester (good to firm; beat Crownright); it's difficult to envisage her being good enough. |
40/1 |

1st 5 (6) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 and it's possible others here have greater potential but she again showed useful form when fourth on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good) this month; may well be in the mix. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he was tried over 1m on his seasonal/handicap debut in April; dropped to 5f at Sandown nine days ago (tongue tied first time; well backed) and travelled well but met some trouble at a crucial stage; that race set up for the closers and this is a sharper test but he could well have more to offer as a sprinter; cheekpieces now added. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Off the mark on his sixth start when bagging Catterick maiden (7f) on his reappearance in April and it was a solid handicap debut when third at Haydock (1m, also good) one month later; latter form has been nicely advertised subsequently and he's on the shortlist. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promise as a 2yo; gelded prior to his reappearance in which he won a 7f Catterick maiden in good style; hit with a 6lb rise for that but 1m should suit and further progress seems likely; trainer in good form. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Quite useful for Eve Johnson Houghton at two, including making all in a C&D maiden (good); not at best in two outings for new yard (same owners) this spring so her hopes are pinned on a return to Epsom sparking a revival. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Useful filly for Eve Johnson Houghton, readily made all in Epsom maiden (7f, good; Assaranca 4l second) in July; transferred to Neil Mulholland (same owners) but it was a low-key start when last of six in conditions race at Kempton (1m, AW) on her comeback in March; needs to put that behind her on this handicap debut. |

8st 12lb |
Made it 3-3 in turf handicaps when overcoming trouble to win a shade cosily at York in May and it was a good second of 17 in valuable event at Goodwood (also 7f, good) ten days later; still progressing and he holds leading claims again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 15 (5) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Overcame trouble to win a shade cosily under Saffie Osborne at York (7f, good) last week, taking his record in turf handicaps to 3-3 and record since upped to 7f to 2-2; may well show further progress and defy another rise in the weights; respected. |

Got up in the final strides upped to 7f at the Newmarket Craven meeting (good) last time, taking record in turf handicaps to 2-2; could well improve further and he represents last year's winning yard; shortlisted. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Three ordinary efforts on turf punctuate four solid efforts on the AW, including when coming away with a subsequent easy winner over C&D off 2lb lower in the spring; may well be dropped in again from this draw and will be happier back up from 6f; one to consider. |
7/1 |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

7f AW win last September; good second at Wolverhampton on his reappearance but he was a well-beaten third at Newmarket last month (7f, good); others look stronger. |

3rd 5 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Narrowly landed the odds in 7f maiden on AW last September; up against it on final 2yo start but he was gaining with every stride when only just failing on Wolverhampton AW (7f; handicap debut) in April; up 3lb; needs more for the win but should have some improvement in him. |
11/2 |
Betting Forcast
10/1 Monarchs Gold, 14/1 Do Bronxs, 6/1 Shaman Champion, 7/1 Siren Suit, 14/1 Harlequin Breeze, 16/1 Major Neigh Sayer, 4/1 Jeddaal, 25/1 Mystic Moment, 5/2 Startled, 5/1 Deluded
Verdict
Plenty have possibilities, but top of the list is STARTLED who has form figures of 34131 in handicaps and is only 2lb higher than for his brave win over 7f at Newmarket last month. Deluded reappeared with a strong-finishing second at Wolverhampton and he’s feared most ahead of Jeddaal, who made the breakthrough at Catterick on his recent return. Handicap newcomers Siren Suit and Harlequin Breeze need a close look in the market, while Shaman Champion is also in the mix.[David Moon]
