25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has been runner-up in competitive handicaps on three of his four starts since April, most recently in last month's 28-runner Royal Hunt Cup over C&D (good to firm); climbing the weights in defeat but he's nevertheless firmly in calculations. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Below par in the Newbury contest won by Classic last time but that was out of character for him; otherwise a solid and steadily progressive colt whose form this spring includes good efforts in AW finals event and the Thirsk Hunt Cup; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May but has been unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup and Coral Challenge; current mark is stiffer than the one off which he finished sixth, amid traffic issues, in this race two years ago. |

Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May; unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup but wasn't disgraced; successful on this card in 2023 (7f handicap) and 2025 (this race); solid claims back here. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who ran well in the C&D event won by Beagle Bay most recently but needs to build on that effort and to prove conclusively that his current mark is surmountable; balance of form gives doubt. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Low-mileage colt who showed progress last year but was perhaps flattered in French AW Listed event on final start and failed by a long way to repeat the form on handicap/seasonal debut; mark seems stiff. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Good fifth over C&D in last season's Royal Hunt Cup (good to firm) and he reappeared with a win in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March; however, well beaten on both starts since; has to get back on track. |
14/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good fifth in this race last year but was in a progressive vein of form at the time; some inconsistency has crept in and he finished last (admittedly lost a shoe) in the Spring Cup at Newbury most recently, failing to back up the form of his narrow success in the Lincoln on reappearance. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to make the frame on first four starts this season but revived with a 7l win in four-runner race at Salisbury (1m, good to firm); what that form is worth is open to question and he's back up 7lb, but at least the third has won since. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Usually held up in rear; hasn't won since his 2yo days but has slipped to an attractive mark and could pop up when the cards drop right, which admittedly isn't guaranteed in this small-field scenario; less exposed at 1m than over shorter. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has a patchy profile but he got back near best with a strong-finishing success in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; that was in a bunch finish but he's only 2lb higher and is a big player if he can repeat that form. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins on the two Newmarket courses this season (1m, good to firm/good), the latest coming last month when held up; only fifth to Asmen Warrior at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago but saw plenty of daylight in a prominent position and may not have been seen to best effect; this lightly raced 4yo remains one to be interested in. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won on the Rowley Mile here (1m, good to firm) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Newbury to win over this C&D (good) three weeks ago; it was a blanket finish last time but he's just 2lb higher today and the fourth has won since; this progressive 4yo is now 4-8 and is high on the list. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Hard to predict; followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago, only to run poorly again at Haydock last week; just 2lb higher than for the win but can't be relied on. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) last Saturday under Seamus Cronin, capitalising on some leniency from the handicapper; nudged back up only 2lb; has possibilities if on another going day. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Promising profile included a Newbury novice win (extended 6f) last summer but it went into orbit, after running better than the bare result on Chester reappearance, when he got to the front over 1f out in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and held off allcomers; a 7lb rise may not interrupt his progress over 1m. |
5/2 |

1st 27 (28) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Contested a Group 2 last season after winning his novice; gelded in December; his comeback run at Chester was seriously promising when he had to be dropped in from a wide draw, then found trouble up the straight yet was beaten only 2l behind a shorter-priced stablemate; he's way better than that bare form and gets in off the same mark; possibilities. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
The least exposed in this field, given his four races were all on AW; two were wins and the way he imposed his superiority at Chelmsford (1m2f; 9lb higher today) in June on handicap/seasonal debut suggests he is all set for better still if he proves effective on this surface. |

Won both 2yo starts and he's improved with each of his four handicap runs this term, finishing strongly in first-time cheekpieces (retained) for 1l second of 19 to Exclusive Code at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; respected despite 5lb rise; unraced on slow ground. |

9st 6lb |
Won both 2yo starts and, having been gelded, he returned to form when keeping on for fourth of 14 at York (1m, good) last month; retains potential for top yard and the first-time cheekpieces could elicit something extra. |

8st 13lb |
Both wins were at 1m2f in 2024; good third off a reduced mark at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month but he was only fourth of six over C&D last time; that took his overall record to 2-32 and others are preferred. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins at 1m2f in 2024 but he has run well over this C&D and, after a slow start to the year, he showed more when a close third of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last week; on the premises again. |
