11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seems in form having posted a couple of creditable efforts over fences this year (May/June); close second over C&D when last seen on the Flat ten months ago; capable of taking a serious hand. |

3rd 2 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up in three of his four chases, most recently at Bangor (2m1f, good; well clear of third) last month, after a layoff; also suited by this track and can make his presence felt again. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Only beaten a neck at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago (has won on soft); 2lb higher and has to prove his stamina over this far on the Flat. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out. |

1st 4 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo who started off for Richard Hughes with emphatic 1m4f turf wins at Brighton (good to firm) and Epsom (good) this summer; lost out narrowly when odds-on at Kempton (1m3f, AW) two weeks ago, having been forced to make his own running in a tactical race, but remains of strong interest. |
10/11 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who is much improved for the switch to Richard Hughes, impressively landing 1m4f handicaps at Brighton and Epsom recently; races off a 10lb higher mark here (including 5lb penalty) but hard to oppose. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Given every chance when going down narrowly in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap 20 days ago; that form entitles him to a second look here (in new cheekpieces) but he is 0-6 and others should have greater potential. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
0-5, clear best effort when second of 12 on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on penultimate outing; brother to a fairly useful 1m4f winner for the same connections, so today's extra 4f is interesting. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning a 0-55 contest by a neck over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb rise puts him on his previous winning mark and although not the easiest of rides, Tom Queally knows him well (2-8 on him); major player. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing favourite in first-time blinkers at Bath (11.6f, good) last month but that headgear is dispensed with and cheekpieces return; drops into a 0-55 for the first time and is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July; respected; stable also runs Letsbeatsepsis. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 but he ran well upped to 1m4f when a staying-on second in an Epsom handicap (good to firm) last week; hit a personal best behind an unexposed rival in that race and he's respected off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden; faded into sixth of nine on seasonal debut at Lingfield (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but significant positives can be drawn from that outing and he might come on for the run; tries a new trip. |
7/1 |
