8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive type who followed an unlucky fifth to Alobayyah in handicap at Royal Ascot with a narrow win in similar event at Goodwood (1m, good) 11 days ago; this is a sterner assignment but it's unlikely she's reached her ceiling just yet. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Defied a lengthy absence when winning at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and then ran a fine race to finish fifth of 24 in the Kensington Palace at Ascot (1m, good to firm), especially as she met traffic; could have been better drawn, but she races off the same mark as last time and represents last year's winning stable; shortlisted. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Made light of a ten-month absence in small-field Doncaster handicap (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; this comes quite quick on the back of that but she's an unexposed sort from a leading stable that is in tremendous form. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (from a similar mark, beat Criminal Shore) last October; runner-up to well-treated rival over C&D (9-1) penultimate start; reluctant to load, fluffing his chance with a slow start at Redcar (1m; last of 14) latest; possible if back on song. |
13/2 |

14th 5 (11) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here. |
8/1 |

2nd 9 (9) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m Doncaster handicap last month, just failing; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D win in April and posted another solid effort with third of nine over C&D ten days ago; considered off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Back off the same mark as when making a successful stable debut/reappearance over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in April; possible to forgive his latest effort on the AW and holds good claims otherwise, albeit good to firm ground may pose a small question. |
13/2 |

9th 3 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won on stable/seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) and he's remained in good heart on both starts since (1m, good/good to firm); each-way claims provided the return to AW isn't an issue. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Good and bad in six runs for this yard, failing to build on a decent run at Newcastle when seventh of eight at Doncaster last time. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Good and bad in five runs for this yard, but wasn't beaten far the last time at Newcastle (1m) and on the evidence of that run this far is worth exploring. |
7/1 |

4th 7 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field on three of his four starts for this yard, including at Doncaster three weeks ago on latest outing; however, prior to that he caught the eye with a close fourth at Nottingham and he's 4lb lower today; capable of going well. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner (from lower marks) last autumn; couldn't sustain challenge when third at Redcar (1m, good to firm; 28-1) on penultimate start; lost many lengths at the start, toiling in competitive Class 4 at York latest; task isn't insurmountable. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Falling in the weights and ran respectably when third to Rajapour at Redcar on Sunday, but the winner bolted up that day and it's hard to see the tables being turned. |

3rd 3 (2) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to form to make all at York (1m, good) in June and backed that up with another good effort at Ripon (1m, good) 24 days ago, finishing a close-up third of seven; runs off the same mark today and could go well over this slightly longer trip. |

9st 9lb |
Returned to form to make all at 28-1 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained); strong claims up 3lb if he can back up that latest performance. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

Record at Redcar comprises his two wins for previous yard and best effort for new stable; York form comprises poor efforts in this race last year and in latest outing; something to prove. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A two-time 1m winner here in 2025; made a promising return when fourth at Newmarket in May but well held in 1m handicaps at Carlisle and York since; has a bit to prove now. |
4/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner with a favourable low draw; shaped nicely at Newmarket (1m, good) on reappearance and quick ground was blamed for a poor run next time; below the mark of his last win (over C&D) and no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front, especially if the rain materialises. |
