2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten favourite in both 2yo starts; gelded prior to his reappearance at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and he showed his true colours, recording a comfortable success; followed up in a Leicester handicap in May and was a leading fancy for the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot, only to completely blow out; back on the up with a hard-fought neck defeat of Calico Blue at Newmarket last month; remains a sprinter of interest. |

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. |

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. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive sprinter; chased home Jazl in a Newmarket handicap last month (2lb worse off today) before improving his flawless C&D record to 3-3 with an easy win eight days ago; worth his place in this stronger company and he looks sure to go well once again. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D novice winner last season and his handicap form this year is strong, finishing fourth in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) before returning to 6f to finish a neck second of 13 to Jazl in a traditionally hot race at the Newmarket July meeting (good to firm again); a 2lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop him from a good draw. |
4/5 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Easy win in a 6f maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; made light of his opening mark when seeing off 21 rivals in a 6f handicap at York (good) in June; unable to justify favouritism in a hot Newmarket handicap last month but the ground was the fastest he has faced and he didn't look entirely at ease, doing well to take third as things panned out; that form looks strong and he remains with serious potential; of obvious interest if the going is deemed suitable. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
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. |
7/2 |
|
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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
He has not looked back since dropping to 6f in May, winning three times including an impressive success at the Shergar Cup at Ascot (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; two solid C&D runs on his record too but a 6lb rise since Ascot, allied to slower ground, could find him out; the only 3yo in the field and that age group have won the last two renewals. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Thriving since dropped to 6f, winning at Ripon and Hamilton in May and then performing with great credit in hot sprint handicaps on his last three starts; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be bang there once again. |

Can leads; dual winner at two; below best over 5f at Goodwood last time but had been running well in 6f handicaps and those were stronger races; stall 1 might not be ideal but enters the reckoning. |

8th 7 (9) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Often leads; won first two juvenile starts (extended 5f and 6f); placed only once in three 6f starts this year but he remains capable of better and, following a flagging fifth of 13 at Newmarket recently, he's worth a look in this first attempt over a bare 5f for yard that won this in 2021. |
9/1 |
|
5th 10 (13) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Often leads; encouraging return on the other Newmarket course but, despite being well supported, no match for Jazl at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May; has work to do off 2lb higher in a race that will take more winning. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Campaigned over shorter this term, posting a useful AW win on reappearance and not disgraced at Newmarket most recently; showed respectable 7f form as a 2yo, including a good effort in the maiden on this card and a success at Chester; still fairly unexposed over this distance; interesting. |
15/2 |

6th 4 (5) |
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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

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 |

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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
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. |

Progressive 2yo, rounding off 2025 with a fine second at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm); only sixth in his two starts this year but he has not been ridden as prominently as last year; on a good mark and a revival could be forthcoming. |

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. |

Best effort when getting off the mark on turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start next time and then seemed to find things happening too quickly over Goodwood's sharp 5f; today's stiffer track should be in his favour, and we may not have seen the best of him yet. |

All races at about 6f, looking likely to find his feet at an even better level when beating a fair type at Windsor (good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start at Newmarket since and remains one to be interested in; however, this very quick 5f may be an eye-opener for him. |

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. |
