6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Usually front runs; his wins at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m, good) were by narrow margins and he was well down the field over C&D in June; that run was probably too bad to be true and he's been freshened up since; goes on all ground. |
20/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who completed a hat-trick when seeing off 12 rivals at Thirsk (1m, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up franked the form with a good second at Epsom last week, while reopposing third Frankie's Dream has also run well since; the draw hasn't been kind given his run style but it's likely his mark is still workable. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Returned to form to make all at York (1m, good) in June and backed that up with another good effort at Ripon (1m, good) 24 days ago, finishing a close-up third of seven; runs off the same mark today and could go well over this slightly longer trip. |

3rd 1 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form to make all at 28-1 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained); strong claims up 3lb if he can back up that latest performance. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in July and he was back on the scoresheet there (1m, good) a fortnight ago; second in this last year and effective on slow ground early in his career; could be a contender. |
9/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner last month off 8lb lower and the following week suffered a fall at York; good to see him bounce back from that with a respectable show at Hamilton; this mark might be on the high side. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
AW winner at 7f but has been fine over 1m in his last two races, going close at Lingfield and Kempton; up 3lb for those defeats but capable of winning off this mark; having third run on turf. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 8 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ready 7f AW win in January; upped to 1m for the first time at Lingfield in March and produced career-best form, finishing off best behind a winner who was red-hot at the time; absent since but could have more to come at this trip. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Likeably consistent and overcame a wide draw with ease at Thirsk 22 days ago (1m, good) to earn this 9lb higher mark; that asks questions of him back in a higher grade, but the chances are he's very progressive; fine on soft ground. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (15) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent dual winner who coped well with the rise in class when pushing a well-handicapped winner all the way at Ayr six days ago (1m, good; goes on all surfaces); not ideally drawn out in 15 but plenty to like otherwise. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Two good efforts at about 1m2f on the AW in 2025, winning the first of them; failed to stay 1m4f on Kempton AW in May following a break but was said to have boiled over before failing to do herself justice on turf at Nottingham in June; now hooded; still has something to prove on turf. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 5yo; well held at Kempton last month but 1m4f may have stretched her and she was a creditable fourth on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f) in January; looks interesting back at this trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if she resumed her progress. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
0-6 since a successful debut for Godolphin last summer; competitive in two of his four races for Iain Jardine, last time close up in a handicap over the extended 1m at Galway (yielding); if okay on the ground then he might not be far away. |
12/1 |

5th 11 (10) |
29th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
9st 5lb |
Newmarket debut winner for Charlie Appleby last summer (7f, good-to-firm); creditable yard debut in Musselburgh handicap in April but has taken a backward step both starts since. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a novice at Beverley last July on his second start; had been disappointing since his reappearance effort at Musselburgh before finishing a 2l fourth of six at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last time, form that has since been franked by the third and fifth; down in grade and he's respected. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has failed to back up a good reappearance effort and finished behind two of today's rivals, albeit having raced wide, at Glorious Goodwood most recently (first run since being gelded); something to prove. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has won three times (1m1f, good) this season and she bounced back with a near miss at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) four weeks ago; up another 2lb but but that was a personal best last time and she looks on a workable mark; respected. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Is enjoying an excellent season and notched a fourth success in 9f Musselburgh handicap in June; came in last of nine at Ayr (1m) last time but she's the sort to bounce back. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
He's dropped down the weights this year and is one to watch in the betting, but needs to perform considerably better than at Beverley a fortnight ago when returning from a 101-day break. |
20/1 |

10th 1 (4) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Seven wins but latest back in April 2025; below par this spring and it remains to be seen whether a 101-day break has had a reviving effect. |
