9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Made it 2-2 for the year when finding plenty to win on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, albeit with the next two home not obviously well treated; has potential but more is needed off 5lb higher. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improved a touch on last summer's runner-up efforts, back from gelding and wind operations, when winning an ordinary-looking Newbury maiden early in the month; lightly raced still but will find this tougher now handicapping. |

Second over C&D on last July's debut and he filled the same spot at Wolverhampton one month later; gelded and had a wind op since last seen; should be in the thick of it. |

10st 2lb |
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. |

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 |

3rd 2 (2) |
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. |
6/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Goodwood 2yo novice winner who kept fairly good company last year; made promising reappearance third (AW) in April and was back in that sort of form when third again at Newmarket (again 6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; was first home of the far-side group that day and the field won't be splitting this time. |

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. |
20/1 |

4th 4 (1) |
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. |
8/1 |
|
8th 7 (12) |

Filly whose Newbury record features her debut success last July (6f) and creditable fifth on handicap/seasonal debut (7f, good; Class 2); in the mix, provided she stays this new trip. |

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. |
7/2 |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
625,000gns yearling who offered bits of promise in three runs in a hood last autumn; very easy to back ahead of her handicap debut four weeks ago but won well and remains open to improvement upped 7lb. |
5/2 |
|
1st 12 (6) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hooded all three starts last term; best effort when second at Kempton (6f, AW) in September; opening mark looks a little punchy ahead of her handicap debut/reappearance but pedigree offers plenty of hope she'll do better this season. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner on good to firm last year; bounced back to form to win over 6f on the Rowley course here (good) in May; a lesser effort over C&D has followed but a revival isn't ruled out. |
11/2 |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner this time last year who bounced back to form off 6lb lower on the Rowley Mile five weeks ago; not been this high in the weights for a good while but having Jack Callan (second ride for the yard) take off 3lb will help and he's high on the shortlist. |

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. |
16/1 |

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. |

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 |
9st 13lb |
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. |
16/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Tends to lead; started the year well on AW but it all went wrong at Newcastle in March and he could only beat one home in seven-runner 5f course handicap a fortnight ago; easy ground probably no help that day and it's not impossible this C&D winner can stage a revival. |

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. |

|
9th 9 (7) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Best efforts last year came from the front but she had no chance of leading on her comeback behind Bintola four weeks ago thanks to a slow start; should do better then, but she was a big price at Windsor and is fully exposed now. |
33/1 |
|
13th 6 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in Yarmouth nursery (6f, good; handicap debut) in October but raced freely before weakening over 7f nine days later; that's easily forgiven and she's not ruled out on this return. |
