9st 9lb |
Ex-William Haggas; followed up his easy Leicester win in June (1m2f, good; made virtually all) by finishing runner-up off a 10lb higher mark at Goodwood last month; up another 3lb and tries 1m4f for the first time; interesting. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent for current stable, notwithstanding two wins; well held last time when bidding for a second success in 1m2f handicap at the York Ebor festival; close second on penultimate start but isn't certain to reproduce that form; won on this card in 2024 but finished only eighth in this contest last year. |
16/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, including this race on good (made all) last year; latest success came in Bahrain in January; well beaten in the John Smith's Cup on his return to Britain but bounced straight back with a career-best second of 11 over 1m at Thirsk (good) under Lexie Clarkson three weeks ago; going softer than good would be a slight question mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ran creditably twice over 1m6f last autumn, including on good to soft; this campaign is not that hard to forgive - over 1m2f/1m on first two occasions and with 2m for the Northumberland Plate (just 8-1) perhaps a stretch last time - although he has raced a bit freely; well treated judged on peak form and could be about to come good again. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Close third over C&D in May since when he's been up against it in Class 2s won by a Group horse and then the John Smith's Cup, in which he ran perfectly well for a 66-1 chance; very capable of a big show, though the cheekpieces are new and so too is Donagh Murphy claiming 7lb. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Back to form with close third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May; however, only seventh of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time on ground he should have handled; can be slowly away; others preferred. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Became disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; some promise for this yard off his reduced mark but was never dangerous last week at Beverley behind one who made all (1m2f, heavy). |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Became disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; there's been some promise for current yard and off a reduced mark, and with Jake Dickson taking off another 5lb, he's not dismissed; one of his best RPRs came on good to soft. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual turf winner who last scored when bagging a 1m2f AW handicap just under a year ago; now 5lb lower but that's still the same mark he was beaten just over 4l at Beverley 10 days ago; likely needs to find a bit extra. |
7/1 |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran okay in a Class 2 AW handicap last time as that race didn't go to plan; exposed but he's on a career-low mark and has won on soft ground; couldn't put a line through him. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner but a 7lb rise for winning so well at Pontefract triggered a career-high mark off which he disappointed back there two weeks ago; handles good to soft but slower ground asks questions of him. |
14/1 |

7th 3 (3) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won here (1m, good) in June on first course visit; no match for the winner when second here (1m, good to firm) next time but he returned to winning ways in commanding fashion over today's C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; a 7lb rise takes him to a career-high mark but he has to be respected. |

3rd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Improved effort when breaking her maiden tag at the fifth attempt on 1m2f Newmarket handicap debut (good to firm) 33 days ago; raised 5lb but may have more to offer; gave the smart Lilt a scare on her soft-ground debut last autumn so it's possible today's conditions will suit her even better. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

280,000gns purchase as a yearling; hasn't gone on as anticipated from a promising debut, fading and beating only one home in maiden at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still early days but she has something to prove. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Has form figures of 3112 and that latest second was a close call in a Redcar handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; now goes up in trip and grade and but he's only 1lb higher than last time and he should have more to offer; dangerous. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Comfortably prevailed in Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, following up his autumn AW success (1m, AW) and taking record to 2-3; the only unexposed contender in this field and commands respect with further improvement on the cards. |

19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Placed in his first two handicaps and he made no mistake back from a break at Ayr (1m, good to soft) nine days ago; the forecast rain won't hurt his chance and he still has time on his side; one to be interested in under a penalty. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finished well to go close on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and he backed that up with a creditable third at Musselburgh (1m, good); returns after 120 days off but he's still unexposed and that latest form has been well advertised by the runner-up since; respected. |
