11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Smart handicapper who brings excellent stats, being 3-3 at Newmarket (on the other course, admittedly, but it bodes well) and 3-3 (much improved) this term for new yard; prevailed only narrowly in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (good to firm) most recently but seems on his way to becoming a Group performer; adds great interest. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
The talking horse in good 6f handicaps this spring and he delivered, coming clear with no fuss under Oisin Murphy at Newmarket (good) on yard debut and not having to work much harder under a penalty there (good to firm) in May for Shane Foley; 10lb higher than last time but could be on his way to better things. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Promising for Charles Hills as a 3yo, winning a C&D handicap at the Craven meeting before a good third from a tricky draw at York; ended 2025 with a low-key run at Ascot but, having been switched to Andrew Balding's stable, he created a huge impression here 17 days ago, supported as though defeat was out of the question and winning accordingly; 8lb well in and looks a Group horse in waiting; obvious chance for the stable that won this prize in 2021 and 2024. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Has some solid 6f form this year, including when chasing home subsequent Wokingham winner Double Rush at Newmarket; far from disgraced from unfavourable draw at York three weeks ago; big player if seeing out today's extra yardage. |
9/2 |

9th 3 (17) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Began the year with two good efforts at Newbury and Newmarket; beaten favourite on his last two starts but that is not to say this mark will prove beyond him if things pan out more favourably; each-way shout if a high draw doesn't prove to be a negative. |

Fine servant to connections down the years; retains ability but he wasn't at his best here last month and younger rivals may have his measure. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Admirable campaigner down the years and although he hasn't placed in three visits to York, he has been poorly drawn in two of them and ran well in Listed company on the other occasion; looked to retain ability when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on 2000 Guineas day and he shouldn't be crabbed for his Wokingham effort as he trounced the only other rival to race up the stands' rail; it has been a long time since he's had a mark this low; big run on the cards. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 5lb |
All five wins have come on the AW, including twice over C&D last winter; encouraging turf return at Newmarket in May hasn't been built on, cheekpieces tried last time now ditched; back on favoured surface but races off 15lb higher mark. |
15/2 |

14th 10 (9) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have come on the AW, including two at 6f last winter; highlight of turf form when third to Tango Flare here last autumn; fair form this term, but needs first-time cheekpieces to have an improving effect. |

6th 6 (17) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

All five wins have come on the AW, including two wins at 6f over the winter; creditable efforts in two recent turf handicaps, including when midfield in the Habitat at the Curragh (6f, good) when slowly away; 12lb lower mark compared to AW and up in trip now. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to his useful 2yo form when winning twice at Kempton (6f, AW) in the winter, but hasn't built on it and failed to beat a rival at Windsor (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; application of cheekpieces will need to bring about a resurgence. |
14/1 |

10th 2 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Improved AW form over 6f last winter, but wasn't on his game when last seen on sand in April and he made it 0-11 on grass when beaten about 5l at Newmarket in May; may have his share of weight on balance of turf form. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
0-11 on turf with his best efforts coming on slower than good; back up in the weights after a productive AW campaign and he has enough to prove back on turf, all the more so after his tame effort at Newcastle on Good Friday. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune but he has the ability to win a big prize when things pan out favourably; latest C&D second has been well advertised since and he wasn't well drawn there; 2lb rise should be fine and he has form on slow ground; one to consider. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 6 (20) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Made good progress in the second half of 2025; the handicapper has held the upper hand more recently though and this might not set up ideally for his style of racing. |
20/1 |

6th 3 (10) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner (four on AW) who ran well when fourth of 16 last May on his only outing here; chased home a handicap blot on his return to turf in April and he was back in that form when second at Windsor (again 6f, good to firm; Bolo Neighs behind) 11 days ago; in the mix once more. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on final two runs last year (1m, AW) and same story on his three outings this spring (6f, AW/good/good to firm); arrives with something to prove but he's 5lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) last October and the return to slow ground could facilitate a major revival. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Patchy overall record; didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages at Newbury two weeks ago but he was beaten over 5l at the finish; others are stronger. |
25/1 |

8th 3 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy defeats on his last three starts, including his Kempton reappearance three weeks ago; he's on a fair mark on the pick of his efforts though and this track does seem to suit him well; Tom Marquand is a notable booking for the stable (his nine rides for Stan Moore have yielded two wins, a second, three thirds and two fourths); lively outsider. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Lost his way as a 3yo but he had smart 6f handicap form last May and a close second to Diligently over C&D (good to firm) in June signalled a return to better days; a Thirsk win at 6f and a close third over 5f at Ascot have followed and he can be in the thick of it. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Stays 6f well but he isn't short of speed and this belated first attempt at 5f looks an interesting move; arrives in top form, successful at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago, and a 4lb rise still leaves him with handicapping potential. |
13/2 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped into Class 3 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago and ran a good race for second, edging left in the closing stages but keeping on well regardless; still has handicapping scope up 1lb. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
His impressive Newmarket success last May saw him hit hard by the handicapper and he hasn't added to it; chasing home Sondad at Epsom (6f, soft) in June represented his best run of the year but he failed to build on it at Windsor last time; others look safer. |
50/1 |
|
8th 1 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Quite lightly raced since going up 11lb for a wide-margin win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May 2025, but a recent second on soft ground at Epsom (6f; cheekpieces refitted) was a useful effort at the weights and showed him to be back on track; should be in contention again. |
