1st 2 (9) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who returned a very useful RPR when taking a Windsor maiden (1m) around a year ago; subsequently gelded and he returned with a winning handicap debut over that C&D (also good to firm) 18 days ago; has some stamina in the family and this step up in trip should be no problem for this unexposed sort. |

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. |
16/1 |

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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May before solid third of 16 over this C&D (good), and he improved again to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; today's assignment is tougher still but this thriving 5yo could be in the each-way mix under a 5lb penalty. |
25/1 |
|
1st 12 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won last March/April on first two starts for yard; took just one of 16 races since but that was penultimate start (Beverley 1m2f, good to firm) and last month's third of 16 off this mark in a Class 2 at York (1m2f) was as good as he's ever been; stays 1m4f; not the percentage call but not impossible. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 12 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who won his first two starts for this yard; took four runs to get going this term but he was strong in the betting when cashing in on a reduced mark at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; handicapper has wasted no time putting him back to this career-high mark, though. |

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 |
8st 9lb |
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. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
In the veteran stage now but his two runs at York this term prove he still retains ability, latterly when sticking on into midfield in valuable 10.5f event a fortnight ago; his sole start at 1m4f (in December 2024) returned his best RPR and this second attempt is well worth another go. |
16/1 |
|
11th 14 (22) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Did well to finish fifth of 16 over C&D (good) on reappearance four weeks ago having been hampered soon after the start and raced wide; however, he goes well fresh so may not improve for that outing, and it's likely this 9yo will be vulnerable against numerous unexposed contenders. |
50/1 |
|
5th 4 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ten-time winner who was close to a lifetime best when bagging Doncaster handicap (1m2f, soft) at the Leger meeting in September; still marooned on this career-high mark despite two subsequent defeats but his form figures after a 50-day break or more read 32112913 and he won't mind if the rains come. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 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. |
50/1 |
|
5th 9 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Secured the latest of his three wins when taking Redcar handicap (1m, good) in May; couple of respectable efforts over 1m2f on turf since and he hasn't finished out of the first three in four AW starts (all here); another who can't be dismissed. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (15) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Secured the latest of his three wins when taking Redcar handicap (1m, good) in May; stepped up to this trip for the first time when staying-on fifth in the Zetland Gold Cup back there 18 days ago and this fairly progressive sort should have more to offer. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer (good to firm/good/soft) in 2024 and landed his first two starts of 2025, latterly the City & Suburban (also 1m2f) at Epsom in April; just one good run from four starts in Meydan this winter but his British return, when second at Goodwood with two of these behind six weeks ago, could be a run to build on. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 9 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

9st 10lb |
Useful 3yo when based in France, largely disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; some promise for current yard, not helped by racing wide at Chester (1m2f) last time; moves into unknown territory trip-wise but his mark is falling and he's impossible to discount. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (7) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |

Very useful 3yo when based in France; largely disappointing for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year but started off for Tim Easterby with two encouraging runs at York (1m2f/1m) last month and has possibilities here. |
10/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again. |
9/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Very close to his best when beating 13 others to land Newbury handicap in April and he made all at Epsom (also 1m2f, good) ten days later; may have been fortunate to beat a subsequently impressive winner on the latter occasion, however, and this career-high mark demands a fair bit more. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Newbury (1m2f, good) ten days ago on his second start back from some time off; back up 4lb but he's just 1lb higher than when second in this last year and he's a solid contender. |

Haydock maiden winner on last year's return and he again made a successful reappearance when impressively taking ten-runner Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) in April; bit below that form when beaten 8l at Goodwood (City Of Delight second, Urban Glimpse behind) off this mark six weeks ago, however. |

1st 2 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden at Haydock (1m, good) last May but he's not really gone on from that in handicaps since; ended last season with two respectable thirds at this track (8.3f/1m2f) but he needs to find something extra after 161 days off. |

Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |

6th 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |

Most likeable front runner who bagged a second win of 2026 in 1m2f Ripon handicap in May; unable to lead from a poor draw when 11th at York (1m2f) 15 days ago and remains very much one to consider. |
7/1 |

11th 7 (14) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Better than ever when he won five times last year and he's carried on that good work this term, scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft) in April and again over that C&D (good) a fortnight ago; that's arguably his favourite track but he's got form here too and can't be dismissed in current mood. |

18 starts here have yielded five places and a win over 1m4f back in 2023, although he wasn't at his best when beating one home in this race last year; in fair form over this trip on AW in the spring but his return to turf, when beaten 8l over 1m4f here one month ago, will need improving on. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |

C&D winner in 2023; no joy anywhere last season (mostly at this track) but the closest he came was a neck defeat here (1m2f; 4lb higher today) on final start; not far away on AW last three starts this year and the same may be possible on today's return to turf. |

Second on soft-ground debut at Redcar in autumn 2024 but his best efforts since have come on AW, bouncing back from a below-par reappearance at York with a fine second in a 1m2f Newcastle Class 2 eight days ago; needs to show he can still do it on turf now. |

Bounced back from a disappointing handicap debut on turf with a win over C&D last October; weakened to finish well held on 1m3f York reappearance 13 days ago but it's possible this lightly raced 4yo simply needed that first outing for eight months (gelded). |

Top handicap form when nosed out in the John Smith's Cup over C&D and again when scoring at the Ebor meeting and picking up the Cambridgeshire in 2023; 0-7 since and he beat one home on his return from a hefty absence/wind surgery at Newmarket in May; should build on that comeback but may need another run or two before becoming of interest. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Excelled in top handicaps at York and Newmarket in 2023, including with a C&D win in the Cambridgeshire (good to firm; 3lb lower today); however, he only once threatened to hit those heights in 2024 and, after wind surgery, missed all of 2025; that leaves him with a 658-day absence to overcome but his handicap mark has been slashed. |

Lightly raced 4yo who was an eye-catching third from the rear behind Warrant Holder over C&D (good) in May on his stable/handicap debut, following a year off, and four runs later he got off the mark at Ayr (1m2f, good) last Sunday when making most of the running; back up in grade under a 5lb penalty but he may well have more left in the tank. |

Promise in three starts for the Gosden stable and he caught the eye when third of 15 at York (1m2f, good) on last month's stable debut; again shaped promisingly at Hamilton (8.5f, good) next time, despite the steady gallop not suiting, but was disappointing back at York 12 days ago, albeit he may have not been helped by ending up towards the far rail; drops in grade and he's the type to bounce back if getting this run to suit. |

Went close in C&D handicap (good) at last year's Dante meeting in May; had been gelded when one of three of these who didn't see which way the winner went at Goodwood in May but better effort, albeit well held, when second at Beverley (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; not fully exposed and gets first-time cheekpieces. |

Low-mileage 4yo who showed promise in handicaps at around 1m2f last year, finishing runner-up twice on good; shaped as if needing his Goodwood reappearance after a gelding operation and remains one who should be up to winning handicaps this season; non-runner due to unsuitable ground on good to firm at Windsor earlier in the week but should have a big say if allowed to take his chance. |
