17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gained a deserved first win since 2024 in 1m apprentices' handicap at Ascot a week ago, when well on top at the finish; escapes a penalty and is able to race off 2lb lower than last time, so he's very hard to side against. |

9st 11lb |
7f AW novice winner in 2024 but 0-17 subsequently; in the frame at 7f on his last four starts, though, and he stays 1m; due for a 2lb drop but still considered. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time turf winner who won two in a row at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f, AW) in March and is 1lb below his last winning mark; he ran okay on his final few starts for the Newland/Insole yard but this 8yo needs something extra on today's stable debut, following 8,500gns sale. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in March; hasn't threatened in his last four runs but he was respectable fifth over C&D on Monday; this is a quick turnaround but his last win was off this mark and he could be dangerous if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three good runs this season, the latest a second at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; competes off same mark and will be a tough nut to crack if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came in an AW juvenile novice in December 2024; has ran well to be third on both starts this year at Bath and Salisbury; this also represents a class drop and he shouldn't be far away. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won first two starts (both AW; trained by Joseph O'Brien on debut) but his form has levelled off; latest fourth over 7.5f at Chester (good to soft) came in a useful 3yo handicap but he'll need to pull out a bit more to get his head back in front. |
9/1 |

4th 8 (11) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
First five starts on AW; made it 2-2 when scoring at Southwell (6f) on his stable debut in January and he's continued to run respectably, including when beaten 3l on his turf debut at Beverley (7.5f, good to soft) six weeks ago; needs more from widest stall in this warmer event but yard did have a welcome winner at Epsom last Saturday. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Hooded all starts; won a Chepstow maiden (7f, good) in May on second outing and similar form when second in a Windsor novice (1m, good to firm) last time; better is needed on this handicap/AW debut but early days. |
6/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hooded both starts; down the field on 1m2f debut at Newbury (200-1) but his next run at Chepstow (7f, good) was in a different league as he was ridden more prominently and kept on well to get a narrow verdict; may well improve further despite the penalty. |
