5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won two in a row this summer (1m4f/1m6f, good to soft/good to firm) before 8l ninth of 17 in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to soft), where he pulled hard and was caught wide; in the circumstances he did well to remain prominent for as long as he did, and he retains potential provided he settles better; just the type of 3yo his trainer excels with. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Prominent racer who showed improvement to win by 4l at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) in June and followed up at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month; had just a nose to spare last time and is 5lb higher today but he's clearly progressive and his trainer has won three of the last six runnings. |

Second to Magnetude at Chester (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; 10-11 for seven-runner race at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but drawing 4l clear represented improved form and gave plenty of hope for 1m6f; up 7lb but considered for yard which also runs Hard To Believe. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Soundly beaten in two Group races this summer, most recently the 1m4f Gordon Stakes at Goodwood in July (gelded since); has something to find with the principals here but this front-runner has done well in handicaps this year and was beaten only a nose on the other Newmarket course (1m6f, good to firm) two starts ago; no surprise if this 3yo makes a bold bid. |

6th 4 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Can make the running; won two 1m4f handicaps and so nearly got back up over 1m6f at Newmarket on latest start; no show, however, when he tried a 1m6f Group 3 at Royal Ascot (100-1) and he is bottom of this pack on ratings. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps, gamely making all at Chester on second occasion; pitched in at the deep end for Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, in which he was a never-dangerous eighth of 11 at 100-1, but that's earned him a 9lb rise; proving up to that task probably requires further improvement. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Seventh to Arc Ole Ole when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York in May; made favourite again, however, in six-runner race here (again 1m4f on good) 15 days ago and always close up to win by a neck, finding plenty for sustained pressure; up 3lb but it looks as if 1m6f will suit him well. |

Won at Bath (1m, good to soft) last October on second start and followed up in Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in March; only seventh of 14 when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York (1m4f, good) five weeks ago but he should retain potential. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Completed a hat-trick by scoring at York (1m4f, good) in May; 16-1 when dropped in from a wide draw in 19-runner King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) 16 days ago and ran on well from out the back to finish fifth; raised another 4lb and this extra 2f poses a question but there's no sign yet of getting to the bottom of him. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; scored at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start, narrowly obliged in handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in March and went in again at York (1m4f, good) five weeks ago; travelled smoothly and asserted gamely in 14-runner handicap the last time, which has seen him raised 10lb since but he's probably not reached his ceiling yet. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored comfortably at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start and narrowly got the better of a serious battle for eight-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in March on reappearance; raised 4lb but that latest start is solid form and this scopey, long-striding sort, who's well related, looks set for further improvement, including at 1m4f. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Seems to act on soft; has improved since tackling 1m6f, his stamina coming into play when winning at Sandown (good) and, after finding a Class 2 Newmarket race rather more demanding, he won a shade cosily on Wolverhampton AW in August; up 4lb but can progress further. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Steadily progressive stepping up in trip and got off the mark at the fifth attempt, at Sandown (1m6f, good) in June; wasn't able to handle the step up in class at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month when fifth of seven but holds obvious claims back on AW at this level. |

Carries his head high; 7l fourth of 14 to Arc Ole Ole at York (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; bettered that form when staying on best to win a four-runner race at Sandown (1m6f, good) three weeks ago, but 3lb higher today and his sights are raised. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Best form when second on handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April; however, heavy defeats since in the Lingfield Oaks Trial, a Goodwood handicap and the King George V at Royal Ascot (80-1), all at about 1m4f, leave her with a lot to prove. |
25/1 |

16th 7 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
2-3 as 2yo and best form when second on handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April; however, the heavy defeats when finishing last in the Lingfield Oaks Trial and a Goodwood handicap, both at about 1m4f, seem to be powerful negatives. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten in the Lingfield Oaks Trial most recently but is somewhat interesting back down in grade, being a filly who has form figures of 112 when racing below Listed/Group level; ran well in Doncaster handicap (1m2f) the final time. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
2yo heavy-ground maiden winner who was runner-up in handicaps at Doncaster on his first two starts this season (1m4f/1m6f, good to firm) before a flop at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in July; however, he's had a two-month break since and it's possible that he'll relish today's return to slow ground; one of two for yard that won this in 2024; interesting candidate. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
1m, heavy-ground winner as 2yo; emerged in second in Doncaster handicaps this season over 1m4f and an extended 1m6f, so he brings proven stamina and effectiveness on good to firm; up 3lb but more to give. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Showed staying potential with a 1m win on heavy ground in three-runner maiden at Goodwood last September, easily his best of three 2yo races; sent handicapping over 1m4f here (good to firm) on reappearance and kept on galloping for a good second of seven, so it looks like he will stay this trip; considered with an unchanged mark. |
