5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won a Class 3 handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and ran well for second back at that track 26 days ago; 2lb higher today but the new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 11 (6) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has had some ups and downs in handicaps but is 2-3 in them over C&D (latest win when getting the better of Indian Run in June) and was seriously impeded in the other; has claims with Billy Loughnane up for the first time. |
7/1 |
|
10th 8 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
First handicap win when he scored at Windsor in August and he'd dropped to the same mark when registering another win over that C&D (also good to firm) 25 days ago; 2lb nudge but everything that's come out of that race has run well subsequently, including wins for the runner-up and ninth, and he's firmly considered in his follow-up bid. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Lost his way as a 3yo but he had smart 6f handicap form last May and a close second to Diligently over C&D (good to firm) in June signalled a return to better days; a Thirsk win at 6f and a close third over 5f at Ascot have followed and he can be in the thick of it. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Stays 6f well but he isn't short of speed and this belated first attempt at 5f looks an interesting move; arrives in top form, successful at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago, and a 4lb rise still leaves him with handicapping potential. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won 2yo debut but 0-14 since and his form has been rather mixed; close third off this mark over C&D (good to firm) on penultimate start is the big plus point this year; slowly away when no show over 7f latest; hooded last five starts in 2025 and now tries cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
11th 7 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Successful over C&D on 2yo debut; 0-13 since but ran encouragingly at Windsor (6f) most recently, after a spell at Meydan; returns to this venue with a fighting chance off current mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 11 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
0-12 since his wide-margin debut win as a 2yo but he ended 2025 with some good runs and went close in Dubai in December (6f, good to firm); his last two runs at Meydan weren't his best but a break may have freshened him up and he is on a dangerous mark. |

Doing well for his new yard and nicely on top at the finish in a big field at York a month ago (6f, good to firm); up 5lb but looks a big player. |
5/1 |
|
1st 8 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he shouldn't be long in putting that right judged on his last two runs at Windsor and Newmarket (both 6f, good to firm); one to take seriously. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
This C&D brought out the best in him last season with two close seconds in August (both on good to firm); returned to form with close fourth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season and he could play a leading role back here. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

On a losing run but he retains plenty of ability and his latest fifth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) was another solid effort; should make another bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Over two years since the last of his five wins; shaped well at Kempton on his reappearance but he hasn't built on it in two runs since; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn when favourite for a Kempton handicap last month; well drawn to attack and he lurks on a dangerous mark. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has five wins, four being on AW but losing run stretches back to May 2024; gets little respite from the handicapper but has run with credit on all three starts this year. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who ended 2025 with 6f success at Windsor in June; not disgraced in 6f handicaps at Kempton and back at Windsor this season; possibilities from a slipping mark. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Justified short-priced favouritism in the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; absent until returning at Kempton in March, a race where he was well supported but weakened in the final furlong; still has low mileage. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly-raced 5yo who has won three of his six starts; readily justified short-priced favouritism at Windsor (6f, good to firm) when last seen in June and it is unlikely this mark is beyond him; takes on match-fit rivals here though and may come on for the run. |

Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped slightly when never-dangerous favourite in Class 3 here three weeks ago, following two seconds and a win (all also C&D) on previous three starts; back to Class 4 and, like most of these, has each-way claims. |
7/1 |
|
7th 14 (7) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

In excellent form of late and ended a long losing run with a deserved fourth C&D win in eight-runner contest a week ago; very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty with Oisin Murphy again up. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two 7f AW wins last winter, both in fine style, but he has found it tougher going in good company since; pleasing return from a nine-week break when fourth at Southwell 19 days ago and the third has come out and won well since; drops in class and should go well. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Won over C&D (good to firm) in June before respectable eighth of 20 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good; second of six in near-side group); versatile ground-wise and has run really well on both visits to Salisbury; chance. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (21) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Close up over C&D in June (soft) and gained her first win away from Windsor when challenging 1f out and just holding on at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on latest start; 2lb rise is no big deal but this race is way deeper. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win in a Beverley maiden over two years ago but he only just failed to gain a first handicap win when touched off by Justcallmepete over C&D (good to firm) in May; some way below that level in Diligently's race here the following month, though, and others are higher up the list. |
12/1 |

10th 3 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Still seeking a first handicap success but he has gone close in two of his three runs for Robert Cowell, beaten a short head over C&D three weeks ago (good to firm); slower ground would be no issue but he will need a bit more to defy this 2lb higher mark. |

Plenty of solid efforts in defeat to go with her three C&D wins, the last of which came off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been held a couple of times since a Bath victory in May and looks weighted to her best back from a six-week break. |

Not at her best in a Class 3 at Windsor last month but that was 6f and this drop back in trip should help; wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off this mark though. |

Two 6f wins to his name on good to soft ground; unplaced in two runs this year but neither run was without promise; he will need a personal best to come out on top here though. |
