28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a pair of 6f handicaps at Doncaster in early summer but he's been well below par both runs since, only 17th in 6f York handicap last time; lots more is needed. |

17th 9 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); well beaten at Thirsk 24 days ago, however, and this is a deeper race. |

Progressive sprinter in 2025 (following wind surgery) and he has carried on the good work this year, winning 6f handicaps at Doncaster in May (good to soft) and June (good to firm); up 4lb in a stronger race but he may not have finished progressing just yet. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Still to win a handicap and has had plenty of chances for this yard; fair effort over C&D last time (behind Hectic) and is 2lb lower but he's some way down the pecking order. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Leicester (6f) in April; running well since and just edged out when third of 26 in 6f Goodwood handicap 23 days ago; that form is proving very strong, so he merits serious consideration despite 2lb rise. |
13/2 |

3rd 12 (16) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; respectable sixth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago but suspicion he'll prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; today's return to sprinting is in his favour but he's likely to be vulnerable at this level. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won her first two starts in handicaps last summer and had excuses off her revised mark latterly; a surprise maiden win on comeback last spring gives hope as she returns from eight months off and she remains low mileage. |
8/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive type with three 6f wins from six attempts, the latest at Carlisle (good to soft) in July; another fine effort when beaten 1l at Haydock (7f, good to firm; pulled hard) last month; this switch back to sprinting looks a positive move and she's high on the list again. |
15/2 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 4 |

Record is 3-5, all wins over 6f, latest at the stiff Carlisle (good to soft); pedigree suggests this return to 7f is worth exploring; commands respect with further improvement plausible. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Likeably consistent this season and last week's fifth at Chester was no backward step, as he was close up despite being dropped in from a bad draw; usually ridden handier; never won off a mark this high but respected; goes on all ground. |
4/1 |

5th 14 (11) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Series of good runs this year, most recently a dominant success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; that wasn't far off his very best and he's one to consider up 4lb. |
8/1 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Won a Class 5 over C&D (soft) in June and followed that with three runner-up finishes; beaten favourite at Goodwood a fortnight ago but he was racing away from the main action and shaped as though still in top form; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; solid claims. |

9st 1lb |
A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations. |

10st 0lb |
Dual AW winner who finished well to snatch third in a Class 4 handicap at Ascot (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; looks interesting off 1lb lower here and he is tactically versatile. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Dual AW winner for Andrew Balding, latterly last June, who hasn't truly threatened on his last four turf starts for this yard; cannot be completely dismissed from this declining mark, though. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (11) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won two AW races for Andrew Balding whom he left for 60,000gns; he's not always looked entirely straightforward but he was less than 2l away last time at Newmarket (7f, good) after being in rear at one point; Tom Marquand takes over now; respected. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts at 6f, on AW then back on turf at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; up 7lb but it was a solid sixth of 22 at York (good) in July, when he raced away from the main action; drying ground would be a likely positive and he's firmly in the picture. |

Not the force of old but handicapped accordingly; only seen once since February and he didn't offer a great deal; usually held up so he will need plenty of luck in running from the inside stall. |

His wins have come on slow ground but he was beaten only 3l in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) last month; that was a creditable effort after a slow start and he ran well over this trip at Ayr on his penultimate run; could be dangerous. |
