27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Smart handicap form for Jack Channon in 2024; well beaten in two runs last year and no sign of a revival in two runs for Brian Toomey this year; starts out for John Butler off a much-reduced mark; worth a market check. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Showed notable handicap form in 2024 but has posted duck eggs in three runs since that campaign and needs to prove he retains ability; best watched on second run for new yard, unless the market suggests otherwise. |
25/1 |

20th 19 (15) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well treated on his 2024 form for Jack Channon and he won the Spring Mile at Newbury (1m, good to soft) on his reappearance that season; however, just two runs last term, finishing down the field in April/May, and he has plenty to prove making his stable debut after an absence; blinkers go on. |

Got up in the final stride to win last year's Lincoln and followed up in useful AW handicap; not in the same form since and York defeat on stable/seasonal debut spoiled an otherwise good record when fresh; revival is far from guaranteed. |
40/1 |

10th 5 (9) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last March and followed up at Newcastle (1m, AW); of interest on those efforts but he went off the boil on his final three starts for William Haggas; needs to get back on track on stable debut (remains in same ownership); slow ground would aid cause. |
25/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Hold-up performer who won the Lincoln (1m, good to soft) on his reappearance and followed up at Newcastle (1m, AW); a case can be made on those progressive performances but he appears to have gone off the boil on his last two runs (reportedly coughed last time); best turf form is on good to soft. |

Started 2026 with victory at Southwell (1m) and right back to form of late, runner-up in 1m Goodwood handicap eight days ago; he's weighted to go very well off the same mark. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five AW wins at 1m and 7f; modest strike-rate of 1-20 on turf but he's often run well in difficult races, including in one run here (hampered); well treated now but he hasn't looked in great form back on turf of late; most of best form on good or quicker, acts on good to soft. |

Capable in competitive races for the Coles, including on good to firm, but some rain would have helped and best efforts at 1m and 1m1f; left the Coles for 55,000gns in the autumn; best watched on debut for new yard. |

Showed some smart form in defeat in his younger days, finishing fourth of eight behind Auguste Rodin in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity; runner-up three times last year, but failed to beat a rival on last month's Kempton return (7f, AW) and is now 0-18; best watched. |

16th Mar 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Winner of this race for Johnny Murtagh, third of 19 last season when trained by George Boughey; generally disappointing since and the most recent of his five wins was for Murtagh in a 7f conditions race at Tipperary in April 2022; change of stable for 2025 campaign. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |

Well handicapped on his third on heavy ground at the Curragh (1m) in March but he's been generally disappointing since and was only tenth of 14 at Doncaster two weeks ago; new headgear is now tried but his last win was in 2022 and others are more convincing. |

Well beaten in the Lincoln in March on sole outing this term (1m, good to soft) but he was runner-up in two major handicaps (both 1m on soft) during a light campaign last season and yesterday's rain is a major positive for his claims; capable of a big performance. |

Better with each of his three runs for this yard and wasn't beaten far at Kempton a fortnight ago, despite hanging right; stays this far and is quite happy on Tapeta, so he's one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not the most reliable and winless since March 2024 for Gemma Tutty; hinted at a revival though on just second run for his new yard with fourth of eight in 1m1f handicap at Goodwood last month; not without interest off a tumbling mark with Oisin Murphy up for the first time. |

Very useful for Richard Hughes, including third in the Golden Mile at Goodwood (1m, soft) on last year's reappearance; failed to back that up in two subsequent outings in 2025 but added to his solid record fresh when fourth on 1m Newmarket return for new yard 23 days ago; classy but needs to show he can still string good efforts together now. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Won a 1m1f handicap here in September 2023; didn't get going the following term but returned from a year's absence with fine third of 15 in Goodwood's Golden Mile (1m, soft) last August; weakened when favourite for the Cambridgeshire here (1m1f, good to firm) the following month and he left Richard Hughes after beating two home at Kempton (AW) in November; stable debut. |

5yo who has been lightly raced since his easy win over C&D (good to firm) in September 2023; returned from a year off with very creditable third of 15 in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) 57 days ago and he could build on that performance today; chance. |

Drew a blank during regressive 2025 campaign and down the field on reappearance at Chepstow three weeks ago; however, he left last season's comeback run well behind to post 33-1 third on his next start, and he's not discounted off a reduced mark. |

All four of his wins were on soft or heavy ground, three at Goodwood; runner-up on his only two visits here, including at this meeting (good to soft) last year and he's 1lb lower today; that was over 8.5f and his creditable fifth on reappearance ten weeks ago was in the 1m Lincoln at Doncaster, but he stays 1m2f; strong each-way claims. |

Good fourth in this in 2024 (soft) and respectable eighth last season (good to soft), making his reappearance each time; runner-up on three of his five subsequent starts last term (good to soft/soft); his four wins have come on soft/heavy going and such testing ground today seems unlikely. |

10yo who's the sole winner (seven times) in this, if not since autumn 2023, but last two outings at Bath have advertised the need to give him a longer run over 1m2f now; no ground or track issues, and he's among the likeliest. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since September 2023 but he is operating off a much-reduced mark now and he emerged from the pack to take a never-nearer third here eight days ago (1m2f, good); might need them to go too fast up front to win but he holds each-way claims all the same. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Looked very promising early in career; mixed fortunes since but beaten just a neck at Yarmouth in August last time (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on softer), when clear with unexposed Godolphin winner, and he's not ruled out. |
