8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His 1m4f win on good to firm at Newmarket in July reads well but has finished behind Castle Stuart in their recent clashes and beat only one home in the John Smith's Cup four weeks ago; probably vulnerable off this mark. |
14/1 |

21th 15 (12) |
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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Much improved last year, including after his second to Plage De Havre in this race at Haydock; York sixth to Klassleader on reappearance but back to his best when staying-on third of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; needs respect. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Had a ball last year after being gelded, winning three of his six starts and as good as ever when a close fifth stepped up to 1m6f at Haydock in September; however, he is a 6yo and perhaps high in the weights now, a suspicion seemingly confirmed by his York run one month ago; there's no obvious significance in the return of cheekpieces. |
22/1 |

6th 2 (11) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Short-headed on 2024 reappearance and won it last year; thrived last season when winning three races and not far away in the other three, including at this track; highly respected for that campaign, and first-time-out record, but the handicapper reacted and he now needs to resume improvement. |

10st 0lb |
Had three of these behind when winning this last year off 11lb lower (good to firm); looks even better now, probably not seen to best effect behind Sportingsilvermine at Newmarket before a sterling effort at Glorious Goodwood over an inadequate 1m2f; likes it here and he's hard to knock. |

3rd 10 (11) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Runner-up in 2024 on his only appearance at this track; reliable sort who hit new heights over 1m4f on last three outings, so this drop back in trip asks a question but he needs respect. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Reliable and progressive on a variety of ground and courses, although has never raced at Newmarket; third in this race last year; hit new heights at Epsom (1m4f) on last two outings and makes each-way appeal. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up off 1lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run respectably on his three starts since; this is less competitive than those last three outings and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |
|
9th 6 (15) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Kept on for second at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run well in fourth on both starts since (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good to firm); he's never raced over a trip this short and it isn't an obvious plus, but on the flip-side a well-run race in this big field should play to his strengths. |
14/1 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited. |

9st 8lb |
2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; his attentions have been turned back to the Flat this year and he hasn't been in peak form; falling in the weights but still needs a revival; good 5lb claimer is enlisted. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; his attentions were turned back to the Flat for four races (UAE and Saudi Arabia) this January-March and he wasn't in peak form, before 12l tenth at Royal Ascot (1m4f; restless in the stalls) continued that trend; falling in the weights but needs a revival. |

Won 1m2f handicap at this meeting in 2023 and has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; attentions were turned back to the Flat for four races (UAE and Saudi Arabia) this January-March and he wasn't in peak form, but edged down the weights as a result and this drop back in trip can help. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made debut in June 2025 and has had just five races (beaten a neck on good to firm on second start); came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; Plage De Havre third) on reappearance this May; up 8lb but retains significant potential. |

1st 10 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Made his debut only last June and has had just four races; long odds-on for 1m4f novice win in August and best form when second of six to Sing Us A Song on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, again good to soft; came from the back) in September; probably still a work in progress at that stage and he starts 2026 (for in-form yard) with significant potential. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (5) |
26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for June's debut (1m2f) when second and recording a very useful RPR at Doncaster (also good to firm) the following month; wasn't overly impressive when off the mark at cramped odds at Ffos Las (also 1m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago but did look better the further he went and this step up in trip is surely a positive; handicap debut. |

Dropped into a Class 3 when making all at Windsor (extended 1m3f, good to firm) and well beaten off this 5lb higher mark at Newmarket; he can be up and down, and could finish only eighth in this last year. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Often front-runner; won well over C&D on good to firm last July; somewhat back down the weights and in class when winning another Class 3 in seven-runner race at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; made all) last Saturday in good style; back up 5lb for this Class 2 but each-way claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
10lb higher than when winning this race at its usual home Haydock (good) last July in great style; that was his final race last season but he put up a bold show when third to Klassleader at York this May; non-runner at Royal Ascot where the good to firm ground was deemed unsuitable (third of 12 on it at York last May); big shout if today's ground is okay. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |

Third in this race last year off 11lb lower; competitive almost every time last season, ending on a major high with 4l win at Haydock (1m4f, good) in July; however, there have been a couple of blips and last month's poor show in Listed race at Kempton was one of those; needs to bounce back. |

9st 3lb |
A gelding operation saw him improve to win a pair of 1m3f handicaps in the spring, and following a blip he was back in form when third at Ripon (1m4f, good) on Saturday; that may suggest he's plateaued for now but he can't be readily dismissed. |
11/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |

Disappointing at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but prior to that he was 2-2 since being gelded, with convincing wins at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and Hamilton (1m3f, good); could bounce back. |
9/2 |

10th 11 (12) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Second on good to firm last June (much better form since); well held when upped to 1m4f for a hot handicap on final start last season; gelded subsequently and won over 1m3f at Southwell (AW) and Hamilton (good; by 5l in good style) in his two races this term; up 8lb and into a much tougher contest, back at 1m4f, but maybe he's putting it all together now. |

Lightly raced 4yo who scored from Ammes at Redcar when upped to 1m2f in April; creditable third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup there (again 1m2f on good to firm) in May off this mark; very useful dam stayed 1m6f, so this new trip for her son could be within reach; may have more to give. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who bagged some valuable course experience in winning narrowly over C&D last month; the runner-up had been jumping, but this 145,000euros yearling had a bit in hand and surely has more to give off a 4lb higher mark. |

9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt in a maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last September and he reappeared with a close second on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW); that latest form reads well and this unexposed 4yo is a major player up 2lb. |

Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW early this year; only 3-38 on turf but quite encouraging runs in hot 1m3f/1m6f handicaps before finishing tailed off at Newmarket after starting slowly (1m4f); it wouldn't be a bolt from the blue should he run well but others are safer. |

Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW early this year; beaten just over 7l in hot handicaps at Carlisle (1m3f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) on last two outings, shaping much better than ninth of 16 suggests in the latter (big move to dispute lead early in straight) but his turf strike-rate is 3-37. |
