5th 4 (18) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Dual winner this term; ran creditably in the International over C&D in July and at Newmarket last Saturday; however, has seemingly already reached his ceiling, unlike some of today's rivals. |
25/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Made it four wins from his last ten starts when scoring on the other Newmarket course (7f, good to firm) last month; merely mid-division under a penalty at York (1m, good to soft) since but it wasn't a bad performance and he's 4lb lower today and back at 7f; not discounted. |
13/2 |

8th 2 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made it four wins from his last ten starts when scoring at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) recently; on a lofty mark under a 6lb penalty and it remains to be seen if he's just as good over 1m, but there can be optimism in that regard and he's clearly progressive; has run well on soft/good to soft. |

2nd 5 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual turf winner (7f, good) who won on AW at Newcastle in December, but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 11l when sixth at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last month; has bit to prove again after that and he's still 6lb higher than for his last win; regular hood is removed. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Defied penalty in 3yo novice here (good) in 2024; back from a 145-day break and wind surgery when landing Class 2 at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in December and beaten a neck at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in March; career-high mark but still considered. |
6/1 |
|
16th 5 (16) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Confined to 7f for all his runs and the winner of two novices on good ground; didn't get the best of runs when a 3l third at Goodwood two runs back and then raced freely with no cover at Doncaster; retains potential and probably quick enough for 6f. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
In good form last June, winning off this mark over C&D (good) before an excellent second at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm); some fair efforts this season and on a good mark now; not out of it. |
4/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten on his last 14 starts and he's been expensive to follow in that time, but he was denied a clear run at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and again ran well when fifth of 19 at York (7f, good) last time; could be thereabouts. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Another win had been coming and he dug deep over C&D a month ago, albeit in a Class 5 handicap when 5lb lower; this is tougher; all turf runs on good or quicker ground. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has run some encouraging races in handicaps this year; made good headway before run petered out when fifth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and he could benefit from today's drop back in trip and grade; possible player. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record here reads 11811 and he bids for a C&D hat-trick after two wins at Class 5 level; raised another 3lb and this will be more demanding, but he's hard to rule out in his current mood. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Made it 3-4 round here when winning from a similarly wide draw over C&D last Saturday on second start for new yard, which has been among the winners of late; 5lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (13) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Useful for David O'Meara a couple of years ago (2-2 for him round here) but ran only twice last season and has regressed lately; didn't see it out for his new yard over 7f here latest and holds only each-way claims, running in a sprint for the first time in ages. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made the frame a few times last autumn but hasn't been in the same form in two outings this term; doesn't look as if he's about to end a losing spell that goes back almost four years. |
20/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy; on a competitive mark on last year's best efforts but he's without a win since September 2022 and finished merely in mid-division on reappearance in the Lincoln here in March (unseated rider on the way to post); others are more persuasive. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four wins from 37 starts, the most recent at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in December; got behind early at Southwell last time after short of room leaving the stalls but then kept on into seventh; each-way contender with refitted cheekpieces replacing regular hood. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Seen much more often on turf than the AW but he did win on sand at Chelmsford (7f) last December and has since shown useful course form over 6f and 7f; down the field at Doncaster most recently but would have a squeak if back to his C&D form in March. |
10/1 |
|
7th 10 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
He's run some really promising races in defeat for his new yard this year, just running out of stamina when sixth of 22 in the John Smith's Cup at York (1m2f, good to firm) in July and finishing third there (1m, good to soft) last month; this trip could be a good fit and he's an each-way player. |
33/1 |

3rd 16 (14) |
20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Close third at Newmarket (good) in June when upped to 1m on his second start for this yard, and he made good headway before his run petered out in the John Smith's Cup here (10.2f, good to firm) last month; denied a clear run when mid-division at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) last time; the return to 1m could be ideal; ran well on soft early in career; chance. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Close third at Newmarket (good) in June on his first crack at 1m and second start for this yard, and he made good headway before his run petered out in the John Smith's Cup at York (10.2f, good to firm), finishing sixth of 22; has won here and today's drop back in trip/grade could prove ideal. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Often leads; 7f winner at this meeting in 2024 and he went out on his shield in the Gold Cup (soft) last year off 1lb lower, giving up his lead only late on; had two wind surgeries in 2026, returning from the latest one with two solid efforts, struck into when sixth in the Portland at Doncaster last week; cheekpieces return in place of a visor; good form chance. |
8/1 |
|
6th 15 (3) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made all in a 6.5f handicap at this meeting 12 months ago before a narrow defeat in the Ayr Gold Cup six days later (off this mark); first two runs this year weren't up to much but he had wind surgery in June and last month's midfield finish at York was much more like it; a visor is now reached for, replacing cheekpieces, and he is an interesting contender. |
12/1 |
|
9th 18 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with a Doncaster win and a narrow defeat in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft); had a wind operation after the Ayr run but two heavy defeats this summer have seen him undergo another wind surgery; on a dangerous mark but Ayr next month might be the big target; cheekpieces back on today. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Maiden/novice winner who has unconvincing handicap form but could conceivably prove resurgent off current mark, which is 16lb below his opening one; market support should be noted. |
10/1 |
|
10th 6 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
7f maiden win on turf last summer was followed by a C&D novice success 12 months ago; down the field in four fast-ground turf handicaps in midsummer but dropped 11lb as a consequence; now tackles his first Class 5 handicap with cheekpieces enlisted; interesting contender. |
12/1 |
|
13th 11 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two 7f novices last August/September; dropping down the weights and a market check is advised but he's been down the field at Doncaster on his three starts this season (7f, good to firm). |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Down the field in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon three weeks ago but that was 6f and today's trip should suit better; shaped well over 1m here on stable debut and he's 5lb lower today; not impossible. |
16/1 |

12th 5 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won twice in novice company (7f) for Roger Varian; yet to win a handicap but he has run two sound races (1m and 7f) for his new stable; returns to 6f for the first time since his debut and he should have enough pace to cope. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he is easing down the weights and his stable debut at York (1m, good to firm) was encouraging; well drawn back at 7f and he's one to consider. |
