25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ran just twice last year and soundly beaten each time but he's well handicapped on his 2024 form and he reappeared last month with a close third at Thirsk (5f, good to firm); strong claims if backing that up. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Prominent racer; well handicapped on his 2024 form but he was only seen twice last year and finished down the field on both occasions; enough to prove back from a break. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Tendency to blow the start has often cost him; disappointing effort back in the cheekpieces (off again tonight) in the Goodwood handicap he'd won last season early last month, despite a better break; now 3lb lower but will need to better that somewhat. |
10/1 |

8th 8 (11) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Captured this prize last year and largely in good form after, despite his customary slow starts; should strip sharper for his reappearance sixth in 5f Newmarket handicap 17 days ago so he's no forlorn hope in refitted cheekpieces. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a losing run of over four years when the well-backed winner of a 5f handicap at Sandown (good ground; visored first time) last week; still has plenty of handicapping scope given his back class and this should be run to suit him. |
13/8 |

1st 1 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Over four years since his last win and made only limited impact at Meydan earlier this year before a midfield finish on his belated AW debut; however, he's on a very dangerous mark should the visor trigger something; best on good or faster ground so watch the weather. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won C&D novice last September before a stint in Meydan (some good efforts), and he returned to action with a midfield finish in a competitive handicap at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) eight days ago; could improve for that run and the drop back to 5f; unexposed and he's an interesting contender. |
11/2 |

9th 12 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Improved with each of his 3yo starts, getting off the mark in a 5f novice at Southwell last September; ran creditably in Dubai earlier in the year without looking ahead of his mark; returns to action in a tough race and the new visor needs to have a positive effect. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Smart performer on AW for Ismail Mohammed; one good run and two modest efforts for Alice Haynes last year; potentially thrown in now starting out for the excellent Terry Kent but he does have to prove himself on turf (stiff tasks on last two attempts). |
12/1 |
|
12th 4 (4) |
31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Looked extremely promising on AW early in his career; he was returning from a year off when down the field in a warm sprint at Newcastle and he fared better when fourth of nine at Dundalk 11 weeks ago; could be a more potent threat here. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A two-time 5f/6f scorer at Southwell this winter; yet to hit top form after a three-month absence, though he was poorly drawn when 15th in 5f Epsom handicap last time; no forlorn hope in a refitted hood. |
50/1 |

15th 11 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
In good form on AW for Mike Murphy this winter, winning twice at Southwell (5f/6f); slowly away (blindfold removed late) at Goodwood two weeks ago; looks vulnerable at this level and goes without accessories this time. |

C&D win last August came off a 3lb higher mark; encouraging reappearance here five weeks ago and today's ground will be more suitable; solid claims dropped into a Class 4. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Record is only 1-10 but she's fairly useful and has performed well in 5f contests (handicap/Listed) at Sandown this term; perhaps best not to take latest effort literally but in going back up just 1lb the assessor hasn't overreacted; again has frame possibilities. |
7/1 |

31 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Reserve; she has built on her 2yo form in two runs this season, finishing third in a handicap and a Listed race (not clear run) at Sandown (both 5f, good); wouldn't be out of this if getting a run; hood tried for the first time. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is on a dangerous mark and his second of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in May was a fine effort; subsequent run in the Dash at Epsom can be forgiven (ground) and this should be more to his liking; other pace influences on show. |
7/1 |

14th 16 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Appreciated the return to turf when finishing second of 17 at Ascot five weeks ago; 1lb rise still leaves him on a feasible mark; rarely seen on slower than good. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won maiden/novice races at Ayr (6f, good to firm/good) last year, either side of finishing down the field at Royal Ascot; however, soundly beaten on last three starts, most recently on handicap/seasonal debut at Sandown. |
33/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won maiden/novice races at Ayr (6f, good to firm/good) last season on two of his first three starts; came up short in Group/sales races otherwise but reappears having been gelded and he could prove well suited by this first crack at 5f; interesting on handicap debut, especially if backed. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Poor effort at Epsom, behind two of these, last time will need forgiving but he boasts a fair record for Billy Loughnane (won for him last summer off 6lb higher); handicapper given him a chance and it wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Respectable rather than progressive on AW since a Wolverhampton win in December but he found soft turf to his liking when coming clear of his four rivals at Yarmouth (5f) last month; needs more off 7lb higher in this better race but further rain would help him more than some. |
10/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning at Wolverhampton in December and he posted solid efforts on his next three starts; however, he was down the field at Lingfield 40 days ago and now returns to turf. |
