1st 11 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Off 11 months after tailing off in a Group 2 at this meeting last year; shaped promisingly on handicap debut over C&D on return and firmly in charge through the final 2f at Carlisle (1m3f, again good to firm) three weeks later; trying to avoid trouble in running from stall 1 looks a headache today but zero shock if the 8lb rise underestimates him. |

1st 6 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; good fourth in Listed race at Goodwood last spring; gelded and off 11 months, shaped promisingly when third of 14 on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, doing his best work late on; nudged up 1lb but still looks seriously unexposed; strong claims. |
6/4 |

3rd 4 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Edged out St Leger runner-up Rahiebb in Haydock novice (11.6f, good) last spring; badly hampered when well-held fourth to Amiloc in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f) next time and not too hard to forgive a heavy defeat behind that same rival in the King Edward VII over C&D at the Royal meeting (good to firm); off since (gelded); a very interesting handicap newcomer, particularly if the betting speaks in his favour. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
8yo who has been beaten 23 times since his last win in September 2024 and failed to threaten at the Curragh three weeks ago; however, prior to that this Irish raider was second at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) behind a subsequent Royal Ascot winner, and he's in the picture on that form. |
15/2 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Seven-time winner, including this race off 8lb higher in 2024; no joy last season but back to form with 2.25l second behind subsequent Royal Ascot winner Opportunity in class 2 handicap at Carlisle 29 days ago (1m3f, gd-fm); big chance if building on that run. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 11 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Irish-trained 8yo, on a long losing sequence; not entirely disgraced when fourth of ten at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; others have more potential but he's certainly well treated on his best form. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He's won just one of his last 23 starts and has failed to fire on his last two outings; however, he had a tough assignment in the John Smith's Cup at York last Saturday and he's dropped to a handy mark; runner-up to the 4-7 favourite in this race last year and he's not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
20th 21 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Some good C&D form, beaten just a neck in a big field last August (good to firm) and fourth of 16 two starts ago (good); he has an each-way squeak if he's on song but that wasn't the case at Newcastle last time (slowly away) and he's won just one of his last 22 starts. |
66/1 |

8th 12 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |

His 2-3 AW record includes a comfortable C&D win off only 1lb lower last September; arrives on the back of two good efforts in strong turf handicaps and a bold bid looks assured now back on AW. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Career-best form on her first three starts (1m4f, 1m5f and 1m3f handicaps) this season, two of them on good to firm, before she found a Listed race far too tough on latest outing; thereabouts if she bounces straight back. |
4/1 |

8th 5 (10) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 1 |

Has developed into quite a useful handicapper and her record this season is solid, winning on reappearance then making the frame twice, most recently in Class 2 at Carlisle; this is harder, however. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 (10) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Likeable front-running filly; made a winning return at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and typically gave her all when second at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks later; edging up the weights but set for another bold show. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner; won well over C&D on good to firm last July; somewhat back down the weights and in class when winning another Class 3 in seven-runner race at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; made all) last Saturday in good style; back up 5lb for this Class 2 but each-way claims. |

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

A two-time 1m4f scorer in 2025; returned from a spell in Meydan with a solid fifth of 12 in 1m3f handicap at Carlisle four weeks ago; not out of things with Billy Loughnane now up. |
9/4 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |

Campaigned in the UAE this winter, last seen finishing tailed off at Meydan; still 4lb higher than for his last win in Britain and probably best watched after three months off. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 17 races to March 2025; however, he went down by only a nose over C&D (good) last month and was caught too far back in a Class 2 at Ayr since; bold show likely with his sights lowered. |
6/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 16 races to March 2025; however, he's been second on three of his last four starts, most recently at York (1m4f, good) last Saturday; slow ground is probably fine; each-way chance. |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Often a slow starter; couldn't get into it at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but runner-up twice in a row at Hamilton (1m5f/1m3f, good) before that; could be involved if today's race pans out favourably. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Third in this race last year off 3lb higher; competitive only once (Saudi Arabia in February) from six starts this year and there's been no win for very nearly three years, so he's far from being the percentage call. |
50/1 |
|
13th 6 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Close up in a Saudi Arabian 1m7f handicap in February (latest run in a tongue-tie that now returns) but that form is none too persuasive in a race of this nature and he's hardly hit the ground running back in Britain; only eighth in this last year off 2lb higher; one for the optimists. |
22/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |

Useful winner over 1m2f and 1m3f on turf for James Owen last season; raced freely and likely needed his 1m3f Carlisle return for new yard 26 days ago; promising third on debut on previous AW start. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Highly impressive C&D winner (soft ground; handles good) on handicap debut last June; didn't build on that in two subsequent runs but has been gelded and switched stables; still low-mileage and his new yard has been among the winners; fascinating contender. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Maiden winner who laughed at his opening mark when scooting home by 4l at Carlisle in June (1m3f, soft; 9lb lower); difficult to gauge what he achieved when last of the seven in a 1m3f good-ground Listed race at Hamilton, going down by under 2l in a slowly run race; remains an unknown quantity. |

9st 6lb |
Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW early this year; beaten just over 7l in hot handicaps at Carlisle (1m3f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) on last two outings, shaping much better than ninth of 16 suggests in the latter (big move to dispute lead early in straight) but his turf strike-rate is 3-37. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW (3-36 on turf) earlier this year but this is a different ball game altogether and his run at Carlisle 17 days ago was no more than average; plenty of others appeal more. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Has been headstrong in the past and he returned to form in a first-time hood (retained) with a close second of 16 over C&D (good) four weeks ago; today's company is tougher but he seems to like it here and remains well treated on last season's best efforts; due a 4lb rise; each-way chance. |

2nd 9 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Dual winner for Karl Burke who posted respectable sixths over 1m2f (including here) on first two starts of the year for this yard; raced freely when disappointing over a stiff 1m3f a fortnight ago and the return to this trip looks a positive; added hood may help too. |

Third of seven in Listed event at Hamilton (1m3f, good; 150-1) a year ago, but turned over at 1-5 there the following month and has beaten just two rivals in three starts in warm handicaps since; this is easier, but still too many doubts for comfort. |

9st 1lb |
Close third of seven in Listed event at Hamilton (1m3f, good; 150-1) last summer, but that run stands out like a sore thumb from the rest of his form and he was well beaten (after wind surgery) over the same C&D on reappearance; too much to prove for comfort. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |

Five races, all last term and ridden by Paul Mulrennan in four; easily best form when he came from last to be a close third of seven in Listed event at Hamilton (1m3f, good; 150-1) in July; 25-1 and tongue tied when tailed off in the November Handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, heavy) and he's also now had wind surgery; this is just his second handicap and there's a strong sense of unfinished business. |

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. |

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. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Really likeable sort who scored three times on good ground (1m2f/1m4f) last term, twice coming out on top in tight finishes; gelded before again showing a fine attitude to pick up Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; likely won't go down without a fight for his ever-growing fan club. |
