2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Began this season with two wins, latterly when holding on by a short head to make all over C&D (good) in early July; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but returns here after a respectable eighth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Reappeared with a win at Catterick (6f, good) in April and then made all at Epsom (6f, good) this month; faded late on to finish sixth of seven at Hamilton since but he can be made to look well treated on the Epsom form (beat Amazing Journey) and his yard is no stranger to sprint handicap success at this meeting. |

6th 8 (6) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Reappeared with a win at Catterick (6f, good) in April and then made all at Epsom (6f, good) this month; his stable is a dab hand when it comes to older horses progressing through the ranks and, with the Epsom form having been franked, a 3lb rise could prove lenient for this thriving 5yo. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Won at Kempton (6f, AW) last month before near-miss at Epsom (6f, good), and back on the scoresheet with ready win here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; under a 3lb penalty this progressive 3yo is 5lb ahead of the handicapper today, and he showed promise over 7f last season; major player. |
13/2 |

1st 12 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Novice and nursery-winning juvenile (6f, good to firm) who often didn't have things go his way subsequently until he won going away at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; wasn't totally handling the track when narrow second at Epsom last Wednesday and he's an obvious contender off this mark (due a 2lb rise). |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Novice and nursery-winning juvenile (6f, good to firm) who often didn't have things go his way subsequently until he won going away at Kempton (6f, AW) three weeks ago; up 6lb but he's shaped like a smart horse waiting to happen on occasions and maybe that was the start of it. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Stayed on from well off the pace to take third in a 0-80 over C&D a fortnight ago; this is tougher but likely to give another good account. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in good form on AW; some solid efforts back on turf this year without suggesting he had much in hand of his mark; minor money perhaps his best hope. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a more favourable mark when winning over this C&D (good to firm) in June, a first win in Britain for over two years; perhaps downhill tracks weren't so helpful in two runs since, at 6f and 5f, but he still has something to find in this company. |
25/1 |

20th 13 (10) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ended a losing run in a Class 4 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month but only fourth of seven when penalised at Epsom; well beaten in his two visits here. |

8st 11lb |
Multiple wins include two over 5f for new yard this year, the first under Myla Coppins and the second on this track; did win once over 6f back in 2022 but it's a long time since he played a part over this trip. |
16/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hit the ground running for this yard, his Ripon win in April backed up by arguably unlucky fourth at Goodwood the following month; not beaten far in the Dash here next time and led on the line at Windsor (again 5f, good to firm) last Monday; 4lb penalty to overcome and his best has come at 5f, but he's still considered. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In good form for his new yard, faring best of those drawn low in the Epsom Dash last time back in the trademark cheekpieces; bit unlucky at Goodwood on his previous start too and remains on a fair mark; one to consider. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Eight-time winner in Ireland but all over 7f/1m, and three starts over 6f/7f for this yard have yielded little; takes another drop in class but best watched for now. |
12/1 |
|
9th 4 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Eight-time winner in Ireland (7f/1m) who has yet to sparkle in two 6f starts for this yard, including when beaten 12l to finish last of eight at Windsor (good to firm) on Monday; this trip is more suitable so heed any market signals. |
33/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Exposed mare who is 6-45 on turf; beaten in claimers on final two runs in Ireland in May and was well held in an Epsom handicap (6f, good; 33-1) on recent stable debut; has something to prove and all of her wins have been over further. |

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. |
