2nd 1 (9) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has had plenty of racing since winning on the Rowley course (7f, good) under Chloe Lyons in May but he found something new when striding right away over this C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; due an 8lb rise so 3lb well in; much respected. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
He was having just his second start on turf when a ready winner at the other Newmarket track (7f, good) in May; finished runner-up on his last three starts, twice over C&D including last time under Chloe Lyons, and now takes a drop in class; has to be considered. |
9/4 |

2nd 8 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won on the other course here (7f, good) in May and he's finished runner-up over C&D and at Epsom (7f, good to firm) in last two starts; was beaten 3l last time but that was behind an improver and he's 1lb lower here; possibilities. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Only contested seven handicaps and won four; would have gone close in Alpha Capture's race here last time had he broken on terms; chance. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 10 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins (including C&D) and a second from his six handicap runs; still has time to progress further and he looks a solid candidate once more. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made it four out of five in handicaps when prevailing in a big field at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); this lightly raced 4yo is clearly progressive and should be a tough nut to crack. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Beat ten rivals to get off the mark over 7f here in July and remains in form, as wasn't beaten all that far at Glorious Goodwood before coming home strongly for a near miss at Brighton (1m, good to firm); firmly in the mix. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Belatedly came good with clearcut Ascot win (7f, good to firm) last month, his 12th start, and was not discredited when ninth in big-field sprint at Glorious Goodwood a week ago; will be suited by this return to 1m and may still have a bit more to offer. |
7/2 |
|
9th 19 (10) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Placed six times (7f-1m2f) before making it 12th time lucky in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) last Friday; has a 5lb penalty and a new trip to contend with now. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four of his five wins have been on the AW, the latest at Southwell in May (7f; 2lb lower); can be inconsistent and doesn't have the best of draws. |
20/1 |
|
12th 11 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two 7f AW wins at Southwell this year but he's not easy to predict and was only fourth of seventh at Newmarket (7f, good) last time; that took his turf record to 1-19 and he has something to prove back at this trip. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Blew the start at Leicester last month when making it 1-18 on turf; however, he won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and was back on the scoresheet there (7f) last Thursday, and is not ruled out today. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
She's failed to shine on turf this year but has finished second at Wolverhampton on two of her last three starts (5f, AW) and she won here last summer; has a big part to play if the return to grass isn't an issue. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins for Ollie Sangster last year, including at this track (6f); best run for new yard when second in a C&D classified race last month and a subsequent defeat in a Newmarket Class 4 is easy to overlook; each-way shout back down in grade. |
7/1 |
|
10th 10 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 2lb |
Dual turf winner who normally plies her trade in a lower grade and her second of six a fortnight ago came in a classified event; 7lb out of the handicap and will likely find this too tall an order. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a promising return when third of 11 in a novice at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in March last year, but has come nowhere near that form since; drops in grade, but still needs a resurgence. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was beaten at least 17l in all four 7f/1m races this year; cheekpieces (worn for last two starts) are discarded for this first attempt at 5f; has too much to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

0-7 and he has beaten just three rivals home in his four handicap starts; tumbling down the weights but carries risk. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Mostly struggled since winning on his debut in 2023 but he posted a solid effort when third of 11 at Windsor (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie) last month; needs to back that up now dropped back in trip. |

2nd Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
This son of Time Test cost 4,000gns as a yearling and is closely related to 1m/1m2f winner Zara's Return (RPR 82); dam French 1m AW winner; likely best watched on debut. |
