15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins came over 6f on good to firm in June but he's been below his best in three starts since the most recent success; the tongue-tie, worn last time, is now removed and drops to 5f with a visor added. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Newbury maiden and followed up in a C&D handicap in June off 4lb lower; down the field at the July meeting and raced freely when no match for the winner in a small field at Leicester; remains open to improvement and a tongue-tie is added. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won Newbury maiden (6f, good to firm) in June on third start and made it 2-2 for the year in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; down the field at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) since but it was a difficult race in which to make inroads from the rear; retains potential. |

Drawn away from the action on his return to turf but was then said to have been unsuited by the undulations of Catterick last time, which would be a concern round here; 2lb above his last winning mark and has a bit to prove back from a short break. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Can lead; sole win in 6f novice at Goodwood in May 2025; made a promising reappearance over this C&D in May but there's little since to suggest he's well treated, albeit with return to 6f on Polytrack offering some hope. |
12/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Goodwood novice winner in May of last year; 0-9 in the meantime and progress has levelled out; ran no more than okay when third of five in a new tongue-tie last week at Lingfield (6f, good to firm); swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here. |
6/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Justified favouritism in a Goodwood novice (6f, good) last May but he's 0-8 since and has been inconsistent; now 7lb lower than for his opening mark but he struggled at Epsom last time and others are more convincing; tongue-tie added. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Seven defeats since winning debut at two and she trailed in last over C&D two months ago; her previous fourth at Newmarket was respectable off 3lb higher; that was over 6f, as was her win, but she should be fine at 7f. |
14/1 |

11th 13 (12) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to add to her debut success at Newbury around this time last year and her fourth of nine at Newmarket (also 6f, good to firm), while respectable, will need building on. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Highly tried after a successful debut last year; never involved upped to 1m last time, having made a solid comeback over 7f, and the drop to sprinting would suggest stamina may have been the issue; one to consider down another 2lb. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
20-1 winner on her seasonal debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May; beaten 10l by a rapid improver at Salisbury one month ago but her pedigree strongly points to this extra furlong unlocking a better effort. |
10/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May; not quite so good twice since and needs to produce a career best. |
6/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Hooded in three juvenile starts but not as 3yo, returning with a quite convincing win on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) from one who won either side of that race; unable to improve on that at Newmarket next time when 7lb higher but she was tight for room at one stage and still has potential. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Secured the latest of his eight wins when scoring over C&D (good) in May; last four form figures don't really do him justice, including his sixth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood in July, and when beaten less than 3l on the July course four weeks ago; down 2lb and a good show would come as no surprise. |
16/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won on the Rowley Mile in May (6f, good; 4lb lower) and last time finished sixth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood, which wasn't a bad run; usually ridden from behind so needs a strong pace which he might get. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came in June last year for George Boughey when 3lb lower; should be better for first run in nine months when seventh of nine at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month but may need to come down the weights. |
12/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a couple of wide stalls to deal with over 7f on the AW lately and may yet have more to offer as a sprinter; interesting to see how he goes in the market, back from nine months off, for a yard also responsible for Expert Agent. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked one to follow when producing a dominant display at Lingfield in June (6f, AW; second handicap run); only third behind H Key Lails over C&D next time but ran well for third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; not seen to best effect on his stable debut last month but he's not fully exposed and could have a bigger run in him; stable form is hard to fault. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner whose sole success on turf came here over 6f in April 2024 (good to firm); his five other wins have been on the AW and he went close over 6f at Wolverhampton two months ago; likely to face competition for the lead from Diomed Duke. |
9/2 |

2nd 7 (7) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five AW wins, the latest from the front off 2lb lower at Newcastle (6f) in February; well below that form on turf lately but still worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |

8th 3 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Only turf win came off a much lower mark more than two years ago and he remains weighted to his AW best after a couple of no-shows at Yarmouth last month; some way down the pecking order. |

9st 6lb |
Made all in a C&D handicap last October off a 7lb higher mark than today's but she's been out of form since, and has failed to beat a rival home in each of her last four starts. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Made all for a 14-1 win in a Yarmouth nursery (6f, good) last October; that was off 5lb higher but she's struggled since that success including in three runs this season; needs a major revival. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (6f, good) in October off today's mark but she's been well held in three starts since, most recently at Newmarket last month; others have stronger claims. |
