11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Looked one to follow prior to disappointing when favourite over C&D last September, and he confirmed the earlier impression with a stylish Zetland Gold Cup win at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May on return; raised 8lb but this unexposed and well-regarded 4yo may be able to take it in his stride. |
7/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Went back-to-back at Hamilton last season (1m1f, good; maiden/handicap) and unlikely that he gave his true running when a beaten favourite at York in September (1m2f); held a Cambridgeshire entry back then and he retains plenty of potential as a 4yo, especially at this trip (dam stayed well). |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Finally off the mark for this yard when comfortably too strong for eight rivals at Ripon (1m, soft; tongue tied first time); up 5lb but conditions will suit and he is another to consider. |
13/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; 0-8 this term for new yard but is proving consistent, creditable third when favourite at Hamilton (1m1f) most recently; this may be the day to catch him, with tongue-tie worn for the first time. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Sole win came at Cork (1m2f, soft) in April 2024 when trained by Dermot Weld but has posted some good efforts for this stable, including when fourth of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; now steps back up in trip with each-way claims. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Landed a handicap at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April before finishing third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup there next time; disappointed in the Old Newton Cup at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in July when last seen and still has his stamina to prove for 1m4f. |
12/1 |
|
11th 10 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who scored from Ammes at Redcar when upped to 1m2f in April; creditable third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup there (again 1m2f on good to firm) in May off this mark; very useful dam stayed 1m6f, so this new trip for her son could be within reach; may have more to give. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who bagged some valuable course experience in winning narrowly over C&D last month; the runner-up had been jumping, but this 145,000euros yearling had a bit in hand and surely has more to give off a 4lb higher mark. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
7lb beneath the mark he defied at Sandown in July 2025 (1m2f, good to firm) but he's not made the same impact this season and now looks exposed; blinkers are turned to; others are way more intriguing. |
8/1 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Held up; picked up one 1m2f Sandown handicap in summer 2024 and 2025; hasn't quite had the same impact this season, including twice at that track and when tried in cheekpieces on latest start, but he is now 6lb below his peak mark and a case can be made. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (12) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |

Likes this C&D and won this race in 2024; creditable fourth to Stem here in July but then ran poorly at Ascot; now has cheekpieces fitted. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 1m handicap at Redcar in May off this mark; third of seven at Goodwood (1m, soft) three weeks ago was a return to form but he has more on his plate in this company. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 7 (2) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Scored off current mark at Redcar in the spring but is by no means certain to repeat the form, having broadly regressed since. |
33/1 |

17th 21 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Progressive last autumn and rediscovered that thread to win at Redcar (1m, good) in May; hasn't been running badly over about 1m2f subsequently but needs something extra if he's to take this. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Beaten joint-favourite or favourite in four of five starts for the yard, finding the first two stronger when upped to 1m6f at Ascot in July and kept to 1m4f since, looking unsuited by the undulations at Epsom recently when fourth of 14; not dismissed back on a more conventional track. |
5/2 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten at 7-2 or shorter in four handicap runs for William Haggas this year, showing his best form when third at Ayr (1m5f, soft) in June; not quite so good on faster ground twice since but not inconceivable there is a bigger run lurking and Henry Callan is a good booking; key player. |
5/2 |
|
5th 6 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
5yo now who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; no joy in his seven races since, three for this yard, but he kept on well for a good third of 12 in a slowly run race at Ayr (upped markedly to 1m5f, soft) in June and may well have been stretched by 1m6f when performing respectably at Ascot (good to firm; made most) three weeks ago; firmly in the mix. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Two AW wins in December and he returned to winning ways at Chester (10.3f, good) in July; not so good at Windsor five weeks ago and likely vulnerable to younger rivals. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins include one on the AW at Newcastle last November; also won a handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm; made all) in April but he's struggled on his last four starts; blinkers need to make a difference. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
The season started well but this front-runner has dropped away tamely in his last three races, albeit strong handicaps; this might not be so challenging and could go well if getting any freedom up front. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (good to firm) on his April return and it was a fine effort when third at Newbury (also 1m2f, good) a fortnight later; couldn't maintain his lead in better events subsequently but this drop back in grade should see him last longer. |
