4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
100,000gns foal for whom things clicked with a win at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in June on his third start, and he followed up in fine style on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, good to firm); up in grade this afternoon but he's unexposed and could be a better than a 0-90 horse. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
100,000gns foal; well held in his first two starts but he really got his act together with a comfortable win in a Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month; opening mark is no gift but he has a useful pedigree and could have a lot more to offer in handicaps; key player. |

100,000gns foal; well held in two novices (6f/7f) seven months apart; capable of better but perhaps once handicapping over further than this 6f. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has a patchy profile but she won at Lingfield (5f, good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with a narrow success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; well-held second over this trip at Lingfield last time, but she got hampered at the start and that was behind a big improver; shortlisted. |

2nd 4 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but she won over C&D (good) in May and got back on the scoresheet with a narrow success at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) ten days ago; up 3lb but she was as good as ever last time and she's respected back at this track. |

1st 3 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Keen-going sort who proved suited by dropping to 5f when gaining a first win at Lingfield (5f, good) in May; struggled after a slow start at York on his next outing but he bounced back with a close second at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago; nudged up 2lb but pulled clear of the third last time and that was behind a major improver who has won won again since; key player. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Goodwood novice winner in May of last year; 0-9 in the meantime and progress has levelled out; ran no more than okay when third of five in a new tongue-tie last week at Lingfield (6f, good to firm); swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Justified favouritism in a Goodwood novice (6f, good) last May but he's 0-8 since and has been inconsistent; now 7lb lower than for his opening mark but he struggled at Epsom last time and others are more convincing; tongue-tie added. |
6/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Goodwood 2yo novice winner who kept fairly good company last year; made promising reappearance third (AW) in April and was back in that sort of form when third again at Newmarket (again 6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; was first home of the far-side group that day and the field won't be splitting this time. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice in Ireland last season before closing out with two lesser efforts in Listed company; struggled for his current yard, coming a stone down the weights, and again didn't achieve much last time when fourth of five on turf here. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two sprint wins in Ireland as 2yo, including when making all at the Curragh (6f, good) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's struggled since and has form figures of 89089 for his current yard; lost to prove. |
25/1 |

9th 7 (7) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two sprint wins in Ireland as 2yo, including when making all at the Curragh (6f, good) last August, but in poor form on turf and the AW in Britain this year and it's hard to believe he's worth his current mark. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner who doubled his tally when grabbing the favoured stands' rail here 12 days ago; prevailed by only half a length and has a 5lb higher mark today (also had claimed 3lb off his back last time); perhaps vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won over 7f at Wolverhampton in May and close up in next two races, at 1m and 7f; finished last at Lingfield 12 days ago but that was over 6f. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Made the breakthrough at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in May and he's finished a creditable third on turf (1m, good to firm) and Tapeta (7f) since; now returns to sprinting but he has plenty of form at this trip and still looks on a workable mark; in the mix. |
