9st 9lb |
Bounced back from below-par run with narrow win at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month and remains well treated after subsequent 2lb nudge; high on the list. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't fire on Tapeta three weeks ago but began this campaign with three respectable runs and is now only 3lb higher than when winning easily by nearly 5l over C&D (good) last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
7f AW win for Denis Quinn last season; running well for his new trainer too, most recently finishing a neck second at Epsom (good to firm) last week; runs off the same mark (1lb well in) and he is respected, for all his stamina for 1m has to be conclusively proven. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close third on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in May and didn't run badly when close eighth of ten (just behind Potomac River) in stronger race than this at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago; no surprise if he features. |
5/1 |

8th 6 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Became his new trainer's first runner, having been picked up from Denis Quinn for 17,000gns, when faring well in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Yarmouth three weeks ago (Dapper Guest behind); generally consistent and won't mind the stiffer 7f. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly bolted up at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; that remains his only success but he's generally been running well this term and the handicapper is starting to give him a chance; respected. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win from 16 starts came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and did best of those ridden prominently when eighth of 22 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and he's considered. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Record is only 1-15; however, gained the success the last time he wore headgear (cheekpieces on final start for previous yard); fairly consistent this year; interesting in first-time visor. |
11/2 |

4th 5 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came in a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) in September on his final start for George Boughey; runner-up twice on the AW at the beginning of the year, and he may have needed his first start since February at Epsom (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Began year in good form on AW, losing out only by a head at Chelmsford (7f) on latest outing in February; still on a workable mark and should be fine back on turf; contender if tuned up after his break. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been at this track, with one coming over C&D, the most recent coming off 1lb higher in February; can miss the break, just as she she did when keeping on into third here over 7f last time, but drops in grade and makes the shortlist. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Back on her last winning mark (C&D in February) following a couple of below-par efforts on turf; ought to fare better but Daisy Roots is perhaps her trainer's most interesting contender. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner (including here) but she's 0-13 on turf and was never competitive at Epsom (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago on her return from a break; might step forward from that but others have more pressing claims. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Inconsistent seven-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some good late headway when fourth of 11 in a Haydock handicap (7f, good) 13 days ago; this step up in trip should suit on pedigree and he's in the mix with Jamie Spencer booked. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (11) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Last of six at Epsom (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago but he's shown glimpses of significant promise in his short career and is worth a second look in view of the excellent form of his stable. |
11/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-race maiden; struggled on soft ground on seasonal/handicap debut but shaped with significant promise before fading into seventh at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago and will appreciate this ease in grade. |
11/2 |
