8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won handicaps at Newmarket and Epsom this summer before finishing down the field in the Royal Hunt Cup; only 14th of 18 at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) eight days ago but that doesn't tell the story of his run as he was travelling well but with nowhere to go for most of the home straight; he will need a career best to win but it is not out of the question. |

14th 4 (19) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Record of 2-4 since being gelded features a success at Epsom on Oaks day when overcoming trouble; down the field in the Royal Hunt Cup 12 days later but perhaps the race came too soon; rested over six weeks since and may rebound. |
20/1 |

23th 17 (10) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Overcame trouble to win by 1l at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day, taking record since being gelded to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; returns to a hotter handicap but he's improving steadily and 1lb well in under a penalty; not dismissed. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Possible to excuse his last two efforts and was running well in defeat before that; 2lb lower than when successful at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year and, with the likely conditions not an issue, he makes the shortlist. |
7/1 |

10th 1 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fairly useful 1m winner in 2025; back on track when runner-up in handicaps (around 1m) at Thirsk and Epsom this summer but only eighth at Sandown (1m) last time; needs to bounce back. |

Back in form and threatening to regain the winning thread, having finished a creditable second in last two starts, latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day; back up another 2lb but can't be ruled out. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded before winning at Windsor (good to firm) last May and finished that season with further wins at Sandown (also 1m, soft) and Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm); on the premises when he suffered chance-ending interference at Newbury last time and this tactically versatile sort is well drawn to sit handy; interesting. |
13/2 |
|
5th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won three of his seven handicaps (1m-1m1f) last term, including the last two; just fourth of 13 to Spanish Voice when favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but that was respectable; player on peak 2025 effort. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a roll when last seen, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) and on this course (1m1f, good to firm) in second half of last season; that form looks solid and he's been nudged up only 3lb for the second success; leading claims if ready to roll after seven months off. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Solid fourth-place finishes in good handicaps at Epsom and Sandown on his last two starts; suspicion he will prove vulnerable for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
4th 9 (11) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field. |
40/1 |
|
4th 2 (15) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Seven wins include three on good to soft/soft; also won on AW at Kempton (1m) in February but only midfield in valuable events at Newcastle (AW) and Ascot (good) on his last two starts; however, latter effort was better than it looks having been poorly drawn. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
He's added two wins at about 1m (good and good to firm) this year and wasn't seen to best advantage at Goodwood on Sunday, unable to get a clear run until the birds ahead had flown; capable of better on this quick return. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Raised only 2lb for his wins at Nottingham in May and Newmarket last time, so looks likely to remain competitive, especially as he's a dual Goodwood scorer. |
11/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His wins have come on good or heavy ground but he's effective on good to firm; has been and up down since his win at Glorious Goodwood last summer but he scored at Nottingham (8.3f) in May and backed that up with a creditable fifth in a big field at Epsom the following month; returns after a short break but he could go well on this drop back in grade. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins have been over C&D and latest was in March; record of 0-9 on turf but he returned to form with a close second in a big field at York last time; only 1lb higher back on Polytrack and he should get a decent tow into this race; respected. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins on the AW but he's just as effective on turf; needs to bounce back from a poor run at Newmarket's July meeting but he's down sharply in grade here and his form from the spring has a solid look to it. |
11/1 |
|
10th 11 (14) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Four wins at Kempton between last October and this March and placed twice in a row on the other Newmarket course in May (1m, good to firm/good) before solid sixth of 18 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last month; his yard is in excellent form and he's an each-way contender. |

100-1 when fifth of 18 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) last month and his run at Ayr eight days later may have come soon enough; now back off his last winning mark and has shown good form on soft ground; high on list. |

7th 2 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

5th 22 (16) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has a record of 3-4 at Pontefract and 1-1 at Ascot; 0-16 elsewhere and his form since last success doesn't augur particularly well for this big assignment; failed to beat a rival when dropped back in grade latest start; first attempt at Goodwood. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Acts on soft; unproven beyond 1m and unraced beyond 1m1f until he tried 1m3f at Southwell (AW) 15 days ago and led 2f out until three rivals went past in the final 1f; that was a good run and his dam won at this trip but others clearly have less to prove in this hot 1m4f race. |

4th 11 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |

Just 2lb higher than when winning over 7f here in April, but is unraced beyond 1m1f and this looks a tough race in which to prove his stamina. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade. |

Scored twice in 2024 and three times in 2025; back to best when second in useful 1m handicap here (good to firm; acts on soft) last month but only eighth of 11 at Thirsk since and his peak RPRs (including all wins) have been achieved at about 1m. |

Only 2lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) in July, and he's still well handicapped judged on the pick of his form from last autumn; saddle slipped when down the field in the Shergar Cup three weeks ago; tactically versatile, and plenty of rain would not inconvenience him in the slightest; has rock-solid credentials. |

Looked as though he needed further than 1m when a rallying fourth at Newmarket in June and he duly obliged returned to 1m2f at Sandown; didn't have a lot in hand that day but only went up 2lb and he could approve for going even further this afternoon. |

Off the bridle a long way out over 1m at Newmarket 15 days ago but he did stick at it for fourth of 13, suggesting this return to 1m2f for the first time this year may suit; nicely handicapped on his second at Newbury on his final 3yo start. |

Won on good to soft as a juvenile and reappeared with good-ground C&D success at last year's Spring meeting; that was his only start in 2025 and he made a respectable comeback despite hanging when fifth of 11 at Newbury (1m2f) three weeks ago; drops back down in trip with cheekpieces added and his best days are almost certainly ahead of him; player. |

With this visor back on, and back on better ground, he returned to form with a well-backed win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, coming clear with a runner-up who was returning from a long absence and won at Sandown on Thursday; an 8lb rise might not stop him. |

Won a Salisbury maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last June when sporting first-time cheekpieces for previous yard; yet to score for current stable but he's been placed on six of those seven starts and it was a narrow defeat when second of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm; visored) under Silvestre De Sousa latest; soft going would ask a question but he's well drawn to go forward and newly fitted blinkers might eke out more. |

Soft-ground specialist who landed a fifth success when scoring at Ayr (1m) in September; yet to get going in three starts this year but he's edging down the weights and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye; requires monitoring in the market with every drop of rain in his favour. |

C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |

He made his debut only as a 4yo but it was a winning one at Newcastle (1m); subsequently useful form on AW included another narrow win at that venue (1m2f) in August for George Scott and he went mighty close over latter C&D on stable debut in November; niggled along at various stages when seventh on his turf debut (10.5f) last month and some guesswork is involved as to whether this test will bring out the best in him. |
