10th 1 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 137y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable 6yo who was a close second in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good; 3lb higher today) on reappearance under Toby Moore; not so good in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f, good to firm) but he did stay on into a fairly remote fourth; strong each-way candidate. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Likeable 6yo who handles any ground and can usually be relied upon to give his running, as was the case when a close second to A Piece Of Heaven in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good); Toby Moore's claim meant the winner was giving him 8lb that day, so he looks to have his work cut out to reverse those placings; can run well but probably not well enough. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reliable sort with a good first-time-out record, and he looks well worth this first foray beyond 14.5f, but there is something to prove if the ground if firmer than good; promising 7lb claimer has his first ride at Chester. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m2f second last year on his only race at Sandown; second off today's mark at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start was easily the best of his four runs on turf this season but his only win remains an AW maiden. |
11/1 |
|
10th 9 (10) |
15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Looked to be suited by the step back up in trip when runner-up at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, despite not looking at home on the track; may be able to build on that performance today and he's a possible. |
10/1 |

2nd 6 (8) |
1st Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway on outer after 3f, soon hampered rival, edged left and hampered 4f out, hung left from over 2f out, soon led, no extra and headed towards finish |

22nd Apr 2023 Soft 1m 3f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
1,200,000gns yearling; Derby entry by Sea The Stars out of the Musidora winner So Mi Dar, herself a sister to the high-class 7f-1m performer Too Darn Hot; 5-1, came from off the pace when third of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (1m2f, heavy) three weeks ago; that form won't win this race but he should improve, perhaps markedly; interesting to see cheekpieces already. |
5/4 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
1st Apr 2023 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

1,200,000gns yearling; by Sea The Stars out of the Musidora winner So Mi Dar, herself a sister to the top-class 7f-1m performer Too Darn Hot; bred in the purple and represents a top stable; fascinating newcomer. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
All eight Flat wins have been on the AW, though he's won twice over hurdles at up to 2m4f; very capable at the right level but this isn't it; faces a mammoth task on all the figures. |
80/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf. |
18/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Thriving at present and he followed up 1m6f Chelmsford success in February with an emphatic victory over hurdles at Huntingdon last month; big shout once more. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

In fine form earlier this year, notching a hurdles hat-trick at Sedgefield (2m1f-2m4f; rising 16lb); reportedly stopped quickly when beaten favourite over 2m here (last of 12, beaten 42l) in June; it's possible that we might see the best version of this 6yo off a ten-week absence. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
A three-time winner over hurdles, he made a pleasing chase debut when runner-up here (2m4f, good) last month; should be suited by the step up in trip and holds decent claims. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won three times over hurdles; has had a break and makes chasing debut; any market move should be noted. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |

Scored for the first time in two years at Newcastle (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; up 4lb and should not be far away in this follow-up bid. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Habitual slow-starter who again got going too late to land a blow when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m3f) ten days ago; the visor he wore that day is retained; has just one win from 15 goes and needs something extra. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 (7) |
6th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has had just two AW races, including when second as 2yo; sole win (13 races) came over 1m4f at Ffos Las last August off 2lb higher, on the first of two starts with a tongue-tie which returns today; not so good since, with blinkers on last two outings, but the tongue-tie might help. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Consistent sort who scored at Market Rasen (2m7f) in November; off since posting a solid third of ten in 3m2f handicap at Stratford in April but has gone well fresh so must enter calculations. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 83y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Scored at Market Rasen (2m7f) in November and posted another solid effort when third of six in another 2m7f handicap there last month; ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |
6/1 |

3rd 7 |
15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Both wins have come here, the latest over this trip (good to soft) in November; may have found the ground too testing when a long way behind Aire Spray back here last month, but others look more solid nonetheless. |

10st 6lb |
Best effort this season when second, behind a rival who was completing a hurdles four-timer, over C&D (good) on penultimate start; reasonably interesting on that form and remains favourably treated, being 3lb below last winning mark. |
10/1 |

7 |
1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

2nd 3 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

9st 6lb |
Won over this trip at Pontefract (her only start at 1m) last April and added to her good record in testing conditions when comfortably making all at Nottingham (also heavy, 1m2f) last autumn; probably needs a downpour, which isn't forecast. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Win last summer came over 1m2f and stamina isn't assured as he goes beyond 1m4f for the first time; this summer's Beverley efforts give him claims if he does see it out though. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner at 1m2f for Richard Fahey but he hasn't entirely answered the stamina question over this far as yet, most recently when third of eight over C&D ten days ago; might be tough to reel in Walter Hartright if the latter is on song. |

Generally progressive, mostly over further, since being gelded; close second at this year's Newmarket July festival, then looked better than the bare result in the Ebor; has won at 1m2f; possibilities, provided he takes well to new headgear. |
12/1 |

14th 11 (14) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Markedly improved last year and even better this term, all on good or good to firm, although he had lots of soft-ground form in previous seasons; wore cheekpieces when staying-on third of 16 to Daiquiri Bay at Royal Ascot (1m6f) and close second at Newmarket (1m4f) 18 days later; raised another 3lb but each-way player if the ground is okay for him. |
20/1 |

2nd 3 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Much improved last year, including after his second to Plage De Havre in this race at Haydock; York sixth to Klassleader on reappearance but back to his best when staying-on third of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; needs respect. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

1st 1 (7) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Escaped a penalty for his win in a Musselburgh apprentices' event (1m) this month when he followed up, with not a lot to spare, at Wolverhampton (7f; 13-8 favourite) on Friday; still ahead of the handicapper carrying a 5lb penalty for that latest win; chance. |
