14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks. |
12/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say. |

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. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f. |
11/2 |

5th 2 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner; five wins since joining Tony Carroll, including turf handicaps in two of his last three starts; should give his running once again but may prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

Made a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton in December (6f), overcoming a 448-day absence in the process; he hasn't kicked on from that in three runs since and connections now reach for cheekpieces. |

9st 6lb |
Defied higher marks twice on home soil in 2021 and won in Bahrain last December; 0-12 this year but posted encouraging efforts the last twice, latest when 1l second at York (soft) last Friday; could well go one better. |
5/2 |

13th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Hasn't won in Britain since 2021 but some useful efforts in 2023, including here; needs things to go better at the start than they sometimes do if he's to play a part. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Has drawn a blank this season but he retains a good chunk of ability, running well at Haydock in June off a 5lb higher mark and beaten under 4l in a hot York sprint latest; capable of a big run but slow starts have been a feature the last twice and that sounds a note of caution. |

9st 5lb |
Finally exploited his drop in the weights when winning a C&D handicap last October (heavy ground); should come on for March's return to action at Doncaster and while slower ground would be ideal, he did run well in a fast-ground Stewards' Cup in 2020. |

Absent since prevailing narrowly on heavy ground at Goodwood in October, ending a three-year losing spell; not an obvious type to follow up, especially as his record in this race (three attempts) is modest. |

9st 9lb |
Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better. |
7/1 |

27th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Looked a sprinter going places last spring but he failed to fire at Newmarket and Newcastle last summer; off for 336 days (had a wind op in March); should have more races in him but he's flying high on his return and his rider can't use his claim either. |
