6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but he's finished runner-up on his last three outings, including when dropped back to 6f here (good to firm) last Friday; races from the same mark and this previous course winner looks sure to be involved. |

Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but his turn looks near, having finished second at Ascot (good to firm) the last twice; successful on both Newmarket tracks and the way he races suggests this drop back to 6f is worth exploring; respected. |

He recorded the last of his three victories back in August 2024 but his mark had reflected that when very good neck second of 17 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; up 3lb but another good show can be expected. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
40-1 winner of novice at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on reappearance; down the field on handicap debut at York four weeks later (subsequently gelded); has to prove he's as effective on turf as the AW but yard won this with a lightly raced 3yo in 2024. |

10th 12 (11) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Thrice-raced colt who most recently belied his 40-1 odds with success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on seasonal debut; needs to prove he can back up that form and also needs to step up sharply on his sole turf effort. |
16/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor. |
8/1 |

8th 6 (14) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Won two from five last season and looks as good as ever this term, fourth in a big field at Ascot two weeks ago; effective at 7f and 1m; should be in the thick of things again. |

4th 4 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won two from five last season and made an encouraging reappearance/stable debut when fourth of nine at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; stepping back down to 7f looks a positive move and the booking of promising claimer Jake Dickson is a plus; high on the list. |

Best form (and both wins) on the AW; bled from nose back on turf when only eighth of 11 at Nottingham two months ago; needs to bounce back after a break. |

8th 3 (12) |

4yo who has won on AW in two of his last three runs including on Southwell reappearance (7f; first run since gelded) two weeks ago; up another 4lb but this return to 1m is no problem and he's shown clear promise on fast and slow ground on turf; shortlisted. |

Ended a long losing run at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in April and he's held his form back on turf since, including a close call at Salisbury (6f, soft) and a 2l sixth in a big field at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; still looks on a workable mark and he could be a big factor back on AW. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Unraced on soft; 2-14 on the AW (wins over 7f) compared to 0-11 on turf but it was a good effort when second of ten at Newmarket (6f, good) 24 days ago; contender if handling conditions. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Winner here but that was in 2023 and there's been no win anywhere since July 2024; not far away this summer and he continues down the weights but latest performance (C&D) won't cut the mustard; first-time tongue-tie joins the recent cheekpieces. |

5th 6 (4) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

All four wins have been at 1m including three on Polytrack; well treated on old form and he's run respectably in last two starts but his last win was over two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
7th 10 (13) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
On an advancing losing run but he's well handicapped and bubbling under; too free (not for the first time) for a 7lb claimer last time and far from disgraced to finish fourth of eight at Yarmouth; interesting with Cieren Fallon taking over. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
