19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Solid in sprint handicaps this year, resuming his progression to win over 6f at Brighton (good to firm) under Donagh Murphy six weeks ago; won that going away so the step up to 7f is worth a go but he is effectively 8lb higher if Murphy's reduced claim now is taken into account. |
9/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Comeback success came off 10lb lower and he has to prove this mark within range after another defeat as favourite six weeks ago; having Donagh Murphy take off 7lb is a plus, though. |
4/1 |

4th 11 (9) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Upwardly mobile Showcasing gelding; made a winning start in handicaps at Bath (5.5f) in April and has advanced his form with excellent second placings at Hamilton (behind Red Spells Danger) and over C&D (beaten a nose) since; up 3lb but merits serious consideration. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
6f AW novice winner for Ralph Beckett who was subsequently fairly solid without proving progressive in handicaps, latterly in blinkers; gelded ahead of his stable debut when second of 10 at Brighton (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; was prominent in the market but may still build on that encouraging start and cheekpieces go on; unraced on slower than good. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Best results for Ralph Beckett, from whom he was picked up for 35,000gns last autumn (gelded not long after), came on the AW; new trainer 3-7 with runners here but an easy 6f looks a bare minimum, especially after such an absence; market useful. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it second-time lucky when landing a Kempton novice (6f, Polytrack) last December; 0-7 since but he's been placed in two of his last three handicaps and ran better than the bare result back at Kempton (7f) last time; still unexposed at this trip and has possibilities off dangerous mark. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Started life in bumpers but won Lingfield novice (AW) and Leicester handicap (good) earlier this year on his first two starts at 6f; two good placed efforts last month, latterly when just claimed by Under The Twilight in blanket finish at Windsor (good to firm); one run away from a sound surface in this sphere, when last of six, does sound a note of caution. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Started life in bumpers but won at Lingfield (novice) in January and Leicester (handicap) in April on his first two attempts at 6f; creditable third at Brighton (6f, good to firm) ten days ago and he may build on that, as it came after four months off; could have more to offer. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 over this trip, having started life in bumpers, off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester in the spring; that came after a three-month break, which bodes well back from four months out, but this is tougher over an easier 6f. |

9st 8lb |
Won at Yarmouth (5f, soft) in May and second of 18 off this mark at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) in July; however, he hasn't hit the same heights on his three outings since. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Second of 18 over C&D at the Glorious meeting and this is much less demanding; beaten twice since but he is versatile ground-wise and should make a bold bid. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |

Easy 5f win on soft ground at Yarmouth in May; fine second of 18 at Glorious Goodwood last month before looking stretched by 6f at Brighton 15 days ago; high on the list back at 5f. |

Excels here and ran another good race at the track when a closing third behind Under The Twilight, having got behind; a faster pace today would play to his strengths; no ground concerns. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who's an eight-time Windsor winner, including this May and June; beat Amazonian Dream in the latter race and runner-up to him here next time, before not disgraced on a first crack at Brighton; reliable sort from off the pace and he has each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Eight-time Windsor winner, including twice of late, who's having a first run round here; ultra-consistent, especially considering his age and that he's usually dropped in, but there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark; yard also responsible for Duskaura. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won in maiden and handicap company over 6f when a 3yo; expensive to follow last year in handicaps but ran some good races, and again from the front in a 6f Class 4 here last month on return from an absence; might take a step forward from that and he'll be fine back in trip. |
7/2 |

6th 5 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his maiden over C&D as a 3yo, returning from eight months off, which is a positive after a break of ten months; expensive to follow in handicaps last season, following a second wind op, and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won two in a row (6f/7f, good to firm) last summer and performing well in defeat this year, including second to Air Force One in a big-field at York (5f) in July and to subsequent Ayr Bronze Cup winner Winged Messenger at Epsom (6f; third and fourth also won since) when last seen seven weeks ago; raced mainly on good or firmer but showed promise on soft at the start of his career; has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie; high on the shortlist with Warren Fentiman taking 5lb off. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Seems to handle most ground and the return to 5f looks to be in his favour, but a record of 2-32 (1-20 on turf) raises doubts. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has plenty of ability but he isn't the easiest to win with; not at his best in 6f handicaps on his last two starts; handles softer than good but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win a turf handicap and he was only ninth of 11 in this race last year; ran well when fifth of 17 at York over 5f last month but surprisingly found it happening too quickly over 6f at Brighton last Friday; others hold more interesting claims. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month, but she's not easy to predict and was out the back at Brighton last time; this drop back in trip is no problem, but she's drawn out wide and needs to step up again after that last run; stablemate of Hint Of Humour. |
12/1 |
|
8th 10 (2) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (turf) a fortnight ago; that came in a far less-competitive handicap off 2lb lower against her own sex, and she'll find this rather tougher. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Ripon maiden (5f, good) last June; highly tried in Listed events in final two juvenile runs but she's not threatened in five handicaps for new yard this season; mark continues to fall but she struggled at Nottingham last time and others are preferred. |

9st 9lb |
Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C&D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Experienced 3yo who was winning for third time this year when scoring at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May; short-headed at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago by one who was completing a hat-trick; major contender. |
4/1 |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained his sixth success when winning at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran well again at Windsor (6f, good to soft) next time, but failed to beat a rival at Ffos Las ten days ago and needs to bounce back. |

7/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 2-3 round Epsom off a 3lb lower mark a month ago and ran to a similar level in defeat last time; might have been better drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has tended to be reliable once striking form in the past; should go well again. |
12/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Scored off a career-low mark to land his eighth success, at Epsom (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; back up 2lb but has recorded back-to-back wins previously so cannot be discounted. |
