1st 6 (9) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f so perhaps unwise to read all that much into last two defeats over 2m and 1m6f; not impossibly treated on his solid 1m4f form earlier this season, and last year's efforts included a 2l defeat in this (not seen to best effect) and a victory over Insanity at York (1m4f, good to firm); in the mix. |
13/2 |

6th 5 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Seen mostly at up to 1m4f, over which he delivered a telling late challenge on the other Newmarket track in May; while that looked encouraging for longer trips, his one attempt at 1m6f (on soft last July) and two at 2m (last two Northumberland Plates) saw him well beaten; that's not conclusive proof that he won't stay 1m6f but it leaves his stamina unproven. |
33/1 |

12th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins at this track but he came 13th in this race last year; that was his only appearance over this long a trip and he was also below form when he had a crack at 1m6f, so he's unproven beyond 1m4f, over which he's contested his last nine starts; stamina is the big doubt. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins from 12 starts; successful reappearance over C&D (made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) in May; given a break since a lesser run at Carlisle at the end of May and that C&D win shows he's well capable when fresh; enters calculations. |

12th 8 (13) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance. |

10th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m6f and 2m wins on the AW last season and by clear daylight; excellent third at Newmarket (1m4f) after a break and it wasn't a bad run at Sandown (1m6f) where he hung in the closing stages; could be a factor if bringing his best game. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
His two wins last season (1m6f and 2m) both came on AW and by wide margins; also fully effective on turf and he made a most encouraging seasonal return when keeping on strongly in a 1m4f handicap (good ground) at Newmarket four weeks ago; still capable of better and the return to 1m6f will suit; Tom Marquand a good booking (a win and a fourth from two rides for the stable in the last five years); strong claims. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Made good progress handicapping for this yard from August onwards, scoring at Southwell (1m6f) then easily defying a penalty at Lingfield (2m, also AW) ten days later; fine effort when fourth in the Old Rowley Cup over C&D (good) in October and had soft-ground excuse on final start of the term; not fully exposed and he's respected on this return. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on softer than good; it looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (every chance 2f out) and that he probably remained in form; however, he again came up short when favourite back over 1m4f at Ascot on latest start; something to prove after that. |
25/1 |

5th 4 (3) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Fourth at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on seasonal/stable debut gave encouragement again, followed by a decisive win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May; 14-1 but it looked as if 1m6f stretched him when seventh of 16 at Royal Ascot (good to firm; every chance 2f out) and he probably remained in form; needs a close look back at 1m4f. |
2/1 |
|
7th 15 (10) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His form eventually ran cold for the Gosdens last season but he's back on the up for his new yard, following his pleasing comeback at Newmarket with a decisive win at Kempton where he swept by late on (1m4f, AW); has low enough mileage to believe he'll cope fine with a 7lb rise and, despite not being Wathnan's first string on jockey arrangements, he's one to consider. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race comfortably in first-time blinkers a year ago and looked back in prime form when keeping on well to beat Sixpack here (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; only 2lb higher today; has another big role to play. |
100/30 |

1st 4 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Gained his most recent win here (1m6f) last August off 2lb lower in first-time blinkers; with creditable shows in two of his three starts this season, he is firmly in calculations. |

3rd 1 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Gained most recent win last August; below par in the latest of his two starts this term but is interesting on historical data, having defied a 2lb higher mark at Sandown on Eclipse day four years ago; drops in class. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
2-11 for the Gosdens, whom he left after winning at Sandown (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns and did well at the Shergar Cup (2m, good to firm) given he pulled hard early; effective on good to soft (unraced on slower). |
10/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
2-11 for the Gosdens, scoring for the first time on turf when leading late on at Sandown a month ago (1m6f, good; in regular cheekpieces); later bought for 77,000gns; tackles a new trip here and might well have more to offer; good to firm seems fine. |

1st 3 (5) |

Record is only 1-10, the success in AW maiden; however, shaped well in C&D handicap (good) most recently, staying on for third place in his first attempt beyond 1m4f; possibilities off current mark kept to this scenario. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
First two wins were on heavy/AW; there have been a couple of disappointments in his eight-race career but he followed two AW seconds by winning a six-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb in this much more competitive race but he won in clearcut style in first-time blinkers. |
11/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won last September on his first two starts for this yard (heavy/AW); disappointing favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on his reappearance but he's been runner-up at Kempton in both starts since; switches back to turf with blinkers now tried; contender. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Won last September on first two starts for yard; disappointing favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on return but second of 13 over C&D (Bulletin fourth) five weeks ago was his best form yet; up 3lb but this race looks less competitive. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |

A two-time 1m4f scorer at Wolverhampton in the spring; rare poor effort when last of eight in 1m4f Newmarket handicap last time; the sort to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Steady improver on AW who won his third race in that sphere when making all at Wolverhampton in April; bit below that under a penalty when third on his turf debut at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) but that came just six days later; five-week break should have recharged his batteries and pedigree points to grass being no problem. |
