9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has given superb value since the autumn, winning five 6f handicaps on the AW between October and January; even better in turf sprints since, landing a 6f handicap on the Rowley course here (good to firm) and finishing strongly to take second on his side to a handicap blot in the big 5f race at Royal Ascot; rock solid to go well back at 6f. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made hay on AW over the winter and then found another burst of improvement to win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; admirable as he is, this looks an extremely stiff task now dropping to 5f for the first time; sold for £200,000 at the Goffs London Sale on Monday. |

Productive gelding, mostly over 6f and on AW; prevailed by a neck in Newmarket handicap (good to firm) back on turf last time, taking record to 7-12; has bits of 7f form, including at Listed level; in the mix. |

9st 3lb |
Creditable shows in 7f turf handicaps this year and the drop to 5f at Royal Ascot since (tongue tied first time) was always going to ask a searching question; however, he did as well as could have been expected in eighth of 27 and this extra furlong can only help; likely more needed from him, even so. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
All six runs have been at 7f, winning an AW novice last summer; had wind and gelding operations prior to his reappearance at Newbury (good) in April and ran well for third; filled the same spot in a handicap here six weeks ago; improvement essential now tackling 5f in a red-hot handicap; tongue-tie enlisted. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Ready winner of 7f novice on Southwell AW before highly tried in Group races on final 2yo starts; gelded and had wind surgery in the close season and returned with a useful effort to be third in a well-contested Newbury handicap (7f, good; just behind the penalised Colori Forever) last month; looks sure to be involved off the same mark. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Looked smart when making short work of his rivals in first two starts as a 3yo in a Windsor maiden and on handicap debut at Leicester (both 6f on good to firm); a 10lb rise for the latter didn't look to be overdoing it but he was badly out of sorts when last of 27 in the big 5f handicap at Royal Ascot since (13-2); trust suspended for now. |
12/1 |

27th 13 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
All runs over 6f on good to firm ground; beaten favourite in both starts as a 2yo, after which he was gelded; he has returned an improved performer in 2026, easily winning a Windsor maiden before producing a dominant display in a Leicester handicap 25 days ago; strong at the finish despite racing freely in the early stages on that latest occasion and he looks plenty quick enough for 5f; a 10lb hike is no gift but the Leicester form looks strong and he could well be a Group horse in the making; stable won this last year; lots to like. |
14/1 |

1st 7 (10) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Has good sprinting connections; useful form on Thirsk debut (6f, good to firm) and a Brighton defeat next time can be forgiven; gelded since; travelled strongly and found plenty when winning on his Windsor reappearance and while the form is hard to weigh up, with the favourite running his first moderate race, this one has potential now handicapping. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Emphatic winner of handicap debut on Southwell AW (6f) in March; found Group 3 and Listed races too daunting on next two starts and he made only modest late headway into mid-division over 5f at Royal Ascot (40-1; without regular hood, as today); return to 6f should suit but the same applies to others from that race. |
22/1 |

14th 8 (13) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful 2yo and took his form to a new level with an emphatic win at Southwell (6f, AW) in March; a refusal to settle has compromised him in Group 3/Listed events on his last two starts but this mark is surely in range judged on that Southwell win and he is interesting now dropped to 5f for the first time; hooded every time except today. |

Talented, albeit is a shade quirky, and made a mockery of his mark in Southwell handicap (6f, AW) on reappearance; eventually dropped away in Ascot Group 3 since but may still have more to offer; not written off. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Juvenile wins came in 6f novices; has held his own in 5f handicaps this year, doing well on the far side when fourth of 27 at Royal Ascot (good to firm) just behind Ten Carat Harry; return to 6f can suit; better claims than most. |
6/1 |

4th 20 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
He has improved his RPR with each of his four starts, bettering 2yo form when chasing home Black Star Boy at Sandown (5f, good) eight weeks ago; unexposed at the trip but that latest form has taken some knocks and he's up 2lb. |
16/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Chester (6f, good) last June on second start and comfortably followed up in novice there (6f, good) the following month; absent since and this handicap debut is a much tougher test of his credentials, but he's a bright prospect and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has made serious progress since dropped to 6f, following an easy maiden win with an impressive handicap debut at Hamilton; ran off 10lb higher in a better York race (good) in June and he did really well to be a close second to Thunder Call who was slightly better positioned; upped another 4lb but closely matched with the winner; on the premises. |

2nd 9 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Beaten over 7f on first six starts before bolting up at 1-16 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good) last month; built on that promise when impressive in 14-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) nine days later; in a higher grade this afternoon off 10lb higher but that rise might not stop him. |

8st 13lb |
Came on plenty over the winter, easily winning a 6f Kempton AW maiden on comeback, then saw off a big field on handicap debut at York (6f, good) in June; he ended with a little up his sleeve at York and a 6lb rise isn't harsh for one who can improve further for this stiffer test at the trip. |

1st 18 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Promising second at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last November on second start and he won by 6l on last month's reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW); this close relation to connections' Group 3 winner Skardu has the potential to be better than his opening mark and crack Australian jockey Zac Lloyd has made a good start to his stint in Britain. |

Off the mark in 7f AW novice in December; strong start to handicap career when runner-up to Ten Carat Harry on the other course here (6f, good to firm) in May but York's sharper test in June didn't look ideal when beaten about 5l behind Thunder Call; may well do better today. |

Comfortably won Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last December on third start and beaten just a neck on handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; his dam was a Group 2 winner and he's in excellent hands to continue to progress; firmly in calculations up 3lb. |

2nd 7 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Gave trouble in the stalls on his first two runs last year (gelded afterwards) but also showed a good level of ability; made no mistake in a 7f novice at Wolverhampton in December, running out the easy winner of a race that has been subsequently been franked; bred to carry on improving and the drop in trip shouldn't be an issue; leading claims. |

Won first two sprint races as 2yo; no progress on final 2025 run but he returned with a useful effort at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in April; has a little to find with First Legion on that run but the latter had had a sharpener which this one lacked; interesting for last year's winning yard. |

2-2 on the AW, at 5f and 6f; his first turf handicap run, at Bath in April, was nothing to get excited about but he showed he belonged at this level when a never-nearer fifth of 27 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) in June; a big run back at 6f could be on the way. |

Well-connected gelding; justified short odds in 6f AW maiden as 2yo; made a fairly ordinary reappearance but he was much better for it when winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in early June, coming through to beat a useful type at this level; up 4lb but can achieve more. |
